I've never noticed such a thing.
Huh guess I was wrong then.
RIP Tracksuit Ryuuko Uniform. You will be missed
I loved how they played with 'DON'T LOSE YOUR WAYYYY' every time she entered. The last time she did it and it cut out I burst out laughing, great gag. Overall a good episode, very enjoyable in the sort of crazy way that Episode 4/5/6 were.
Don't really agree with the people asking for a predictable character arc for Ryuuko. I don't think the loss of Senketsu would have done anything for her character, we already dealt with her feeling powerless in the first bit of the series. If we want a personal loss it'll have to be Mako, but even then I'm not sure where that would take Ryuuko's character... just make her want revenge, again? Satsuki handed a goal to her on a platter, which is to beat her in Kansai and get the questions to 'What is Kamui/Life Fibers'. No doubt it's part of her plans, but I'm not really tired of Ryuuko getting stringed around by her, it's actually nice to see her plans unfold.
I see KLK as an action/comedy series, so it's tough for me to see any of the episodes as 'wasted time' in terms of pacing when they are filled to the brim with gags. I guess a lot of people were hoping it was going to transition from the comedy side to a darker, more serious show. The only exception would probably be the King of the Hill fights, which could have been condensed imo. At least Gamagoori's, Nonon's was at least visually cool.
Edit: More amazing parts from this episode:
Aikuro's unveil -> episode title "You're so hot! Good looking!"
Composite meat armor -> cooked steak
Money guns -> Mako's need for money
Just so good. Weakest parts were in Kyoto.

There was animation in this show?
She's barely in control of Junketsu to the point that wearing him/her/whatever is incredibly tiring. Maybe that piece helps regulate things or something.

I think is more to bait ryuko into fighting her
This is the more likely truth.
There is actually a way for Senketsu to die without fucking up the pacing or wasting the fact that Ryuuko collected him when he was scattered around; it would also make the first 14 episodes not meaningless:
Ryuuko gets mortally wounded getting the glove back, Senketsu gives up his life (fiber?) for her and as resolution Ryuuko gets to keep Senketsu's powers yet Senketsu himself is gone.
literally dependant on life fiber to live, Tony Stark style.

Only the second best sismance but I'll take it.
Yeah, that would work. As long as something happens.
You guys are expecting way to much from this show.
I'll enjoy the dumb fun while it lasts.
Satsuki is clearly just playing up some shounen anime tropes here, keeping the glove to make sure Matoi is worthy of getting it back after her embarrassing loss to Nui. I don't even expect it to be a big battle. Just Matoi VS satsuki and in the end, it won't be much of a fight. Satsuki is likely to simply take off the glove and give it back after only a couple of blows because " Ryuko is almost strong enough" or something similar. It might take 2 more episodes for all of this to resolve though. Nudist beach will probably show up and the show will spin into it's final story arc, where we'll just get a fight a week until Satsuki's mother has been defeated undoubtedly.

This anime is dumb fun at its peak. I mean, how many shows have weird shit like:
Also, I was pretty relieved to see that Ryuko already managed to get almost all Senketsu pieces.
- Composite Meat Club
- Armed Ping-Pong Club
- Money guns
- Awesome motorcycles to drive on people's faces

Didn't like this episode. Felt like a waste of my time. I couldn't help but keep thinking, move on with the plot already... (yes, there is plot progression, but obviously I mean it's mindnumbingly slow).
That being said, there's one thing that bothers me way more. Where are the other multi-national companies and how come the show gives me the feeling that they are inferior compared to Satsuki's mom's company? I mean, Japan has some powerful international companies, but they are nowhere near the most powerful.
Exxon, Apple, Microsoft, and other mega-conglomerates should easy trump even the biggest Japanese companies.

Remember, the 3 cities are actually pretty close to each other! "how did you get past high school?"
;P
Thought this was a pretty good episode. Much better than last week's which felt pointless outside of the end. Ryuko rolling in on the cities one by one on her bike was funny. I thought getting Senketsu's pieces back would've taken more time/effort, but I'm glad they didn't dwell too long on it. Though she still has to get the last piece.
The Elite Four's outfits are getting refitted. I guess they could've been given a piece in the meantime, but considering they were curbstomping the schools (outside of Osaka, which likely would lose over time anyway) it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
That was last week.

her OG outfit will be back

Oh yes this was incredibly good too and actually was the reason why i initially thought she was a cool character when they announced the anime... all before this ruined everything :/
her OG outfit will be back
believe
Nah man nah
She has to keep her bike outfit
Her shades also make her look a bit like a female Travis Touchdown
her OG outfit will be back

It's too cool, meaning it will never happen.
It's kind of obvious. If anything, it is so annoying that Ryuuko is still fixated on Satsuki and probably doesn't even know about Revocs.
Because lol world building
Seriously though, the world building in this show is straight up awful (take Revocs being introduced only when it's relevant to the plot, for example). Even the setting for the show (apparently it's a post apocalyptic setting) isn't even explained within the show itself.
Considering the lyrics to Till I Die from the soundtrack, this actually sounds like a plausible theory.
Oh, I forgot to post about this week's episode. Whoops. It was okay I guess. I like that things are actually finally happening outside of the school, which was boring as fuck. They still don't have much animation though, and there's a lot of obviously lazy recycling in the scenes where they want lots of characters but don't really want to draw them all. Since there was no Ragyo this week, it gets a 0/5 from me!

I liked this episode less than last week's, but more than almost every previous episode. Except maybe for Episode 7, because Mako is amazing.
This has me laughing way too much
I'd like to see him try.
I'm personally betting on
Nui showing up next episode to do something bad.

So finally had time to get into this show. It's pretty cool.
But I'm shocked that so many people liked the last episode. Outside of Osaka guy chewing the scenery and Scarfketsu, I thought it was horribly dull. I don't really care about these awful scrub schools getting stomped into dust (other than Osaka because Sanageyama is terrible at everything), so that wasted like 15 minutes of the episode on crap.
Also, I'm sure you guys have talked to death about the OST, but, holy shit, the German in Blumenkranz is atrocious even though I like the song. Of course, that fits right in with the English songs on the OST, which feature classic lines like "Don't be afraid my sweet heart/This is the way to be more strong" and the entirety of Light your Heart Up, a song about the dangers of relying on machine translation. Pretty disappointing overall, especially compared to the music in the director's previous works.

Well, this series does also have an eye-catching title (and a very inappropriate one so far).
You're right, lol. I guess its on the front page a lot, and it is a cool name, so people probably just click on it to see whats going on.
The show has a catchy name, as does the thread.
