If Ryuko can

Spoiler

fight on an even level with the strongest person in the school without having mastered Senketsu

; shouldn't she be able to absolutely wreck every other member on the student council?

 

[Akainu]

Anybody else get a fascist vibe from the school? Ryuko's teacher always seems to be teaching about Nazi Germany; I wonder if they're trying to draw parallels. The cult of personality, militarization, ghettos for the outcasts of society, etc...

Or maybe I'm just being a nerd and over thinking this.

And the last horse crosses the finish line.

I think the scene showing the three-star taking down the five-star uniform was supposed to show more stars does not mean instant victory.

Ryuko might be more powerful, but she may not be as smart or as well developed in using her power as the others.

 

[slightconfuse]

godam this episode as awesome from mako to the epic battle.

Good one bro, you sure got me with that burn. In an anime thread. On a video game forum.

But that guy didn't have any control over the suit, I'm assuming you're stronger when you know how to control it. This show is pretty dialogue heavy so it's hard to read and watch the gorgeous animation at the same time. I'll go back and watch that scene again.

Cool it friend we have fun here.

Cool it friend we have fun here.

Except when talking about fanservice and ugly costumes. Then you're encouraged to draw blood from your enemies.

Nobody is upset, just calling you out for a lazy passive-aggressive comment.

Are we still having that debate? This is the first time I've popped into the thread in few days but it's clear to me that the fanservice isn't going anywhere.

 

[victreeb3l]

Wow.

Wow.

What a fucking incredibly amazing episode.

I dont even give a shit about the fan service anymore. Shit oozes so much style its crazy.

I love it when the Kamui is put on and all that gas and shit comes out. Feels awesome.

Great episode.

The only thing this show lacks is a good ost

The theme song for this show is awful

 

[victreeb3l]

I get a wedgie everytime they transform though

You have to wear the official Kill La Kill thong while watching this show so you feel like the main characters

It adds to the immersion

At first I was one of the few in this thread to support the music but after this episode I've kind of noticed that it's forgettable. I can't recall a single track.

I shall get naked while watching from now on. Clearly that's the way to go.

There was some pretty good insert music, but there's no way you'd ever notice it through all the other stuff happening. The OP and ED are kind of average for me, but I haven't hated the inserts*

Spoiler

except when it goes "Doooon'ttttttttttttt loseeee yourrrr wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy" every time Ryuko is about to do something.

 

[Jarate]

make sure you rub off your nipples!

we don't want them kids seein nipples

 

[LordCanti]

I actually think they did that on purpose as yet another spoof of old shows like Sailor Moon where you'd see silhouettes or outlines yet never any nipples.

I laughed, anyway. It's like their boobs are being bounced up and down by the immense force of the Kamui.

Only a thong and nothing else

Shit the whole thing about unlocking the true power of the Kamui is genius when applied to how to approach this show

Let go of the shame

I let go

 

[Jarate]

speaking of awesome references to older shows


did anyone notice in the flashback sequences, they were all 4:3 instead of 16:9


I thought that was absolutely brilliant

 

[Fuu]

My beef is that the music is very low during most scenes. It keeps getting too drowned by the sound effects and dialogue.

The main theme is used to often

I mean, there's no more awesome feeling in the world where they play the main theme during a really "epic" moment, but come on guys, you don't need to do it during every battle!

 

[Chrono Helix]

Ep 3 is like the point in a JRPG where you get a taste of the final boss early on, and then the boss handily beats you. Looking forward to seeing whatever ultimate form they eventually come up with.

Yes, and it's not helping with my unhealthy infatuation with that music cue. I need a clean copy badly.

They'll use an even more epic version for the final battle.

Spoiler

And then it'll get remixed with Quad City DJs.

Was hoping to find this gif, am not disappointed.

Ah yeah, that too. Needs to not be overused.

I did start hearing more tracks I found interesting in these episodes but they play too low and I stop paying attention. I haven't rewatched any of the eps so far though, maybe the ost is more noticeable/memorable in a second go, idk.

So how about this:

In this episode Satsuki's Kamui is referred to as her Wedding Dress. We also see in the ending animation a shot of Ryuko looking at a wedding dress while window shopping.

We also know that another half of Ryuko's scissor blade exists (which she believes to be in Satsuki's possession). This could easily be a reference to the saying "Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them." This could be interpreted to mean the girls, who have opposing temperaments and color schemes, but that may be unrelated to the saying.

The red "Life Fiber" that Ryuko has been absorbing in to her Kamui could also be a reference to the Red String of Fate. Those connected by the string are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstances.

I speculate that Stupid Sexy Sensei (who appears to be the last person who knows the true powers or purpose of the Kamui and was actually physically getting ready to break up the fight this episode) isn't undercover to assist Ryuko directly, but rather is undercover to determine if Satsuki and Ryuko are potential brides. He'll be the final boss that they have to team up to defeat.

idk, ending credits in anime always have random shit like that lol

I just hope they go to space at some point.

The bride stuff could be an Utena reference, but like I mentioned before, there's definitely hidden meaning in a "Wedding Dress" named "Junketsu" (purity), that activates via blood (traditionally a bride bleeds on her wedding night).

Him thinking he even could step in was definitely something. He doesn't have a Goku or a Kamui, unless we're to believe that a plain white button down is either.

Way too Utena.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

That CGI
What the hell man.

 

[Vinegar Joe]

Pretty sure it's Space Runaway Ideon.

I'm assuming that's referring to the ending where

Spoiler

everyone dies then they all fly around naked in space.

Hmm...hmmmm...

Spoiler

Maybe it was a hint that Kill la Kill will have a similarly apocalyptic ending? Everyone casts their shame aside, gets naked and consumed by Senketsu. Even though it makes literally no sense.

 

[Jarate]

That CGI
What the hell man.

as long as we keep getting character animation the way we have been, I don't mind the CGI.

CGI isn't awful in the show, there's been a few parts where it worked really well (the 1st episode with the whip guy whipping that kid into the walls)

All the CGI so far has looked fine and blended well until this episode

more Mako

 

[mightynine]

They'll use an even more epic version for the final battle.

I have zero issues with this, if it were to happen.

 

[Zonic]

That CGI

.....that avatar quote is tempting to use as a reaction when I saw it, but yes, that CGI moment just really stuck out in a rather "eww" kind of way, considering it was done rather well for everything else (i.e the previous episodes). Looked okay zoomed out, but soon as they got closer, eeehhhhh.

But honestly, when everything else was just really awesome, I guess they were bound to take some shortcuts somewhere & not that huge of a complaint, considering how short it lasted.

 

[Dresden]

Only part of the OST that really sticks out is Mako's theme when she's being all

otherwise, eh . . . Don't lose your way or whatever it'll be called is alright though.

 

[Soma]

The song that played during Satsuki's transformation was cool and has been stuck in my head for a while.

(This may or may not be due to watching that scene over and over again...)

Apologies of this was already mentioned, but do the transformation sequences from episode #3 indicate that the characters are not cutting themselves and are instead just pricking themselves with needles? LOL at Kotoaku if so.

it's a joke based off of "christian" server on like Counterstrike and shit that wouldn't let you curse
