is the source material any good? Because the trailer sure wasn't interesting at all.
In all fairness, I dropped Star Driver around episode 18 but marathoned the rest of it later. It was probably more entertaining that way.
I haven't. Heard it's a different continuity. Is it good?

Admittedly I didn't try this one but the super-zany gag humor shows never really were my sort of thing.

Ugh moeshit, so glad there are studios like Trigger making epic action shows like Kill la Kill for us men

Looks better than Kill La Kill already.
When they first did the OP songs for Hanasaku Iroha I wasn't quite fond of them, but I've become a fan over time.
I think for me its meanness wore out its welcome.
Looks better than KLK.
Is it worth at least trying a couple of episodes then, or should I just not bother?
to be fair.... that's not hard to do
of course kill la kill featured my least favorite anime character from 2013...
that horrible waste of ink.
note: I dropped kill la kill after 6 or so episodes... I will give it another try when it's fully dubbed and I can ignore the scenes with her in them.

I think it is given I found it hilarious at first. I just think the same kinds of gags surrounding the MC's violent streak wore out its welcome for me fast, and an episode making fun of eating disorders rubbed me the wrong way.
no it's not, I didn't have any issues with ryuko... unlike she who must not be named @_@
Well, maybe after the season's over I'll take a look. I've probably got enough to deal with for the time being.

Mako was fine, Ryuuko was fucking useless.
That's the Saori Hayami character, heathen!

Wait a second, the LN's Wikipedia and MAL entry don't have "Harem" listed under the genre heading.
There may still be hope.

I think you're being too hopeful.
Probably just means no one knows for sure. Expect harem. Harem is coming.
Well isn't every anime with more than one female a harem by default?

Ryuuko is a dumbass and the show would have been better if it was about Satsuki's journey.
It's very good! People are probably getting tired of hearing me suggest it so often, but I definitely enjoyed watching the TV series followed by the movies. The fact that the continuity is different means very little, honestly. The only notable thing that's different is the introduction of the characters. The heart and soul of the characters remains the same. The Oshii boarded episodes of the series are not only must-sees for Patlabor fans, but fans of Oshii and anime in generally. They're really remarkable. Watch it!
Yikes!
The elite four weren't particularly interesting to me either. Very one dimensional and forgettable.

The PV is already telling me that she's going to be some ditzy and/or airhead character mixed with klutz then put in an oven for enough time to get a half-baked character we've seen a million times. But we also have the delicious cup of spoiled milk that is most likely the tsundere red hair girl and the rotten bag of most likely club/student council president black haired kuudere president tea. And to top it off we have the loli which I have no food analogy for because no matter what you say the fact you'd compare a little kid to food would be arrest-worthy in Britain.

Perhaps. It might. It could be fun though. It could actually be surprisingly good.
I mean, it's Trigger. They won't stoop so low. Right?
...
...I'm gonna watch Doremi now.

It's more like every show with no more than one or two males.
I think it is a safe assumption at that point.
The cast's gender balance doesn't make me hopeful, but my understanding of the plot from what I looked up when the anime adaptation was announced is that a bunch of chuuni kids get superpowers, but they have nothing to do with them. Hijinks ensue.
It's a premise that could probably lend itself to a lot of fun visual gags if the team gives a shit, but I feel like most of the company's energy is headed towards its other projects, so it'll probably be mediocre.
useless > actively making the show terrible
I haven't a clue what/who Saori Hayami is
;edit: seems like a Saori Hayami is something that plays characters with a brother complex in magical school shows.
Well, I wasn't trying to harass the show or anything... I just think that with a bit more planning they could have fit all the pieces they've got going into something that flowed a bit better, that's all.

But Ryuko did both those things!
Looks like haremshit, and I read the synopsis. That guy is dark flame master! Seems like this is going to be poo. Will watch to confirm this.
To be fair, she did that too. It was amazing how terrible a MC she was.
hahahaha wat
It was actually quite a feat too. It was like the writers of the show hated Ryuuko more than any one actually watching the show.
True, the show is all over the place but I''ll argue the pieces isn't that interesting too with at first place.. its very lifeless.
Looks like something that Dresden would post!
at least in the first 6 episodes ryuko was fine.... she spent her time picking fights and cleaning up she who must not be named's stupidity.
heck I think my top three least favorite females in anime are (in no order)
she who must not be named from kill la kill
bitch mcbitch face violent chick from working
cheeky bitch face from cheeky angel
>.>;
I dislike plenty of females in anime, I actively hate those three @_@
