Yup, KLK is stupid fun. The only problems people seem to have are with the music being forgettable (I personally like it) and the battlesuit pandering to your stereotypical otaku virgin.

God, I love EVERYTHING about that show except for that fucking outfit.......Just when I thought I had something else to add to my list of series to show non-anime fans...

Did you think you could show Gurren Lagann to non-anime fans? There's quite a bit of bounce in that too, even if Yoko's outfit isn't as revealing.

I expect nothing less, unless the main villain turns to the good guys.
This show is a bit ridiculous, going by the first episode. I did enjoy watching it, but I feel like you have to have an extreme case of ADHD to really enjoy it fully. This might be why I watched one episode of Gurren Lagann and put it down.
I will be watching the next episode to see if I get used to the style. It does have potential. I love the fighting/battle suits thing, even if the exposure of underage girls is a bit creepy. It's so zany that it just makes me giggle.

So I'm guessing I should go ahead and watch Gurren Lagann...
Oh good, it is not just me expecting this then.

Yes. Episode 11 will change your life.
Gurren Lagann starts off pretty rough but it improves nearly continuously and its finale is incredible. That's my opinion anyway, I know there are a number of people who feel that the show declined after a certain point, but I suspect they enjoyed the show for different reasons than I did.
Aside from a couple small dips, I pretty much agree with this. The last 8 episodes or so are amazing. The start-up of TTGL also has the disadvantage of EPISODE FOUR.

The episode was good, but her uniform killed it for me.
That clothed design looks rad. I vote that.

What if she get more clothed when she defeats more people.
It's so over the top that I just love it. Definitely my cup of tea.
Mako is totally adorable.
Yes, oh god yes!

I like the animation but damn that other half of half clothed
While that's true, it takes too long to get there. The show is frontloaded with nothing but really juvenile sex jokes, separated only by the appearance of Scanty and Kneesocks.
It doesn't balance it out well enough to keep things interesting, thus it's hard to stick with it. And again, it's not that the first 13 episodes are all predominantly about sex jokes, it's that they're about REALLY BAD sex jokes. They aren't funny, they, at best, visually interesting. And there are better shows to watch if you're looking for sexual comedy.
I hope that's where they're going. More goku's defeated, more devoured power, less skinship for the sake of skinship.

I just showed the first episode to some non-anime fans, I was actually worried when the outfit scene happened, and they didn't even say a word. When the episode ended they said they loved it, I was extremely surprised to say the least.

I was thinking... Isnt the dress like that because she actually cut it with the scissor, back when it assaulted her?

Ok I'm a little late to this bit I just watched the first episode and holy fuck I loved it.
THANK YOU BASED TRIGGER
Oh and I love how her uniform is basically the symbiote Venom suit.

Unnecessary worry. You only have to have a look at twerking to see how trashy popular culture has gotten.
I'll have to give Gurren Lagann another try one of these days. Maybe I'll seek out the manga (it has a manga, right? pretty sure) instead.

The outfit being how it is the whole point, we'll see how it develops but so far I'm loving how trashy fun and smutty the show is.
I actually somehow think she will. She doesn't strike me as truly evil, just arrogant and probably misguided due to her upbringing (her mother runs the whole show after all). Though granted, her screen time was extremely limited so far.
Indeed, I think Satsuki's mother is the bigger bad here.

Pacing was extremely fast but it's better than a lot of the really slow shows, hopefully it slows down after a few episodes when more stuff is explained. Felt like I watched 3 episodes instead of 1.
The only anime I enjoy is titan. I gave this a shot since it was mentioned in the AOT thread. I really enjoyed it, until the outfit reveal. Ugh so much unnecessary cringe...Still I'll give it a shot since the animation seems stellar.
I didn't really mind the outfit that much. Usually that kind of things pisses me off a lot, but I don't know.. The outfit kinda fit in to the bizarre stuff that was going on. Though I wish that the outfit won't stay like that until the end of the show.
Anyways, I've already watched the first episode like 10 times. I just can't stop watching it, it's so awesome
I was super hyped about AOT but this first episode was imo 10x better than any AOT episode

I was super hyped about AOT but this first episode was imo 10x better than any AOT episode The show grabbed my attention from the very beginning. I was attached to my TV when I marathoned that show.
I still shudder when I think of episode four.
As I would say in Persona-Gaf, you are crazy.
Gurren Lagann has a few mangas, one being pretty much an adaptation of the anime (seriously, if ya saw the anime, you've pretty much read the manga) and then a spin-off where it takes place in an alt. universe where everyone goes to school. I think there's a third one that's pretty much a comedy 4-koma or something.
The manga is an adaptation of the anime and, like most manga adapted from anime, doesn't have a particularly good reputation. But I've never read it myself so I can't really recommend it or not.
This show is so dumb and awesome; two qualities that matter most to me. Like everyone else I'm not feeling the power-up outfit on Ryuko, which is kind of a bummer because her character and design is so strong otherwise. I love the outlandishness of fighting high school uniforms that grant superpowers with half a pair of giant scissors. It seems to balance on that fine line of making no sense and making total sense; it's almost Heisenberg-esque. I hope the frenetic pace keeps up. I need this.
I liked Kill la Kill quite a lot. It felt a bit too much like they were copying Go Nagai/Cutey Honey at times, but nothing really felt too blatant.
The costume is nothing but fan service, but that's fine with me as long as the show stays awesome!

I need to watch this, it looks great.
Trigger became one of my favorite studios ever since Little Witch Academia, which is also what I would describe as a perfect pilot episode.
For a first episode, Kill la Kill was fucking ace as well.
No filler, amazing character intros (reminded me of Tarantino a bit), and it's actually dense with information about the world without being boring. It establishes characters quickly and everything gets to the point. I have to expect that the pace is only going to slow down a bit from here, but who knows. I felt pretty exhausted after watching this first episode, though in a good way.
The animation style, goddamn. They make fast motion look easy. I'm a huge fan of Sushio because of his simplistic but extremely expressive and unique characters, so glad he worked on this.
Very apparent that much of the talent behind Gurren Lagann worked on this. Kill la Kill's intro is many orders of magnitude more intense than GL's first episode, so I can't imagine how they ratchet it up from here.

When I think "show-ruining fan service" I think of Highschool of the Dead with its boob jiggles and panty shots galore. A living suit that reveals underboob does not strike me as the same thing, or even similar, really. Think a lot of people are being overly-dramatic.
