Sounds like the anime really butchered things. The manga isn't some bastion of originality, but the fights at least have variety and the occasional creative ability. The final few were actually a little bit impressive in how they handled the escalation of things.

Buy the manga bro!
It's funny, considering how they couldn't resist throwing in another bout of Becky and her "cakeness", yet somehow it fit in perfectly with the rest of the episode and its message about small towns and farmers. Go figure!

Most writers would stay away from discussing such a subject unless they really thought they could handle it. Kind of like why you don't see most writers casually bring up the subject of sexual abuse because they don't feel competent enough to talk about something so sensitive and serious. Unless you're Elfen Lied and you chose to talk about/show it all the time because you're a gross and reprehensible series that had to show such events in graphic detail. Or one of those anime shows that feels the need to depict rape in detail for questionable reasons.
Not that women do well in anime in general
I hope you're planning on watching Gokukoku no Bryhildr in spring. Same guy that did Elfen Lied.
Out of the frying pan and onto a plate to be eaten
Shes finally smiling for once!
It did? Honestly the action was by far the worst part of KlK. Not just the fighting and presentation, the back-and-forth between the characters was about as lazy as the frame-sliding on a flat plane. I think the only action scene where I felt there was something creative going on was that one on ep 5.
Okay, so everyone who was asking about Media Blasters and Yamibou:

A new set of DVD solicitations has shown up for July 22. Now, whether or not they actually manage to make this date is anyone's guess, but that's how it is for now.

Setting the tone a bit early, I see.
Wow, that's one creepy-looking pope.
Blue-hair ass girl said transfers are rare, and now, we're in a nurse's office full of transfer students.
I will henceforth refer to this anime as Sexy Harry Potter.
Well, this nurse certainly is pleasant. And mad.
TL?
He grabs her wooden sword, and...wat.
Yep, we're in a harem comedy.
Well, at least she's not masturbating. Damn you Yami, you're making this look good.
Suddenly red-haired girl. And she's already devoted to this guy.
And an observer. Who is a green-haired chick.
I am so lost right now.

Or, as I learned tonight, if you're Nasu!

Did the bald guy have an accent?

There's something incredibly amusing about the fact that we are debating whether KLK's fight scenes are a lazy as Rosario Vampire's.
Every single Nasu story has a girl that is a victim of sexual abuse, it's one of his staples.

And it's a condescending one too!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *bounces like a happy bug
Her hair is a croissant. Your argument is invalid!
I have to admit that
not responding to repeated gangrapes because you have pain insensitivity

Really? Please tell me there's childhood friends and dramatic trauma surrounding them!
They better be doing this for fucking real this time.
Ah, maybe that was the last one I saw.
Not that I could tell. He had a funny voice. But French dude and Dr. Von Evil definitely have accents.
Anime fans are easily pleased.

Well it's coming from the guy that had
a girl raped by the worm familiars of her adopted grandfather.

Ah, the old rape as guaranteed dramatic backstory thing. Gross.
Let's be honest. Most people are easily pleased.
The first fight with Satsuki, CG wall walk aside, was legitimately good. The early fight with Uzu was also interesting. The fights with Inumuta, Gamagoori, and Nonon were definitely more lackluster.
i imagine it satisfies many needs of the average crunchyroll subscriber

Somewhat. I'd say it's a more action-oriented Elfen Lied with less focus on despair (though it's still pretty dark and gory).
It's kind of in between the guy's other major works (Nononono and Elfen Lied) in terms of tone.

You seem to be confused, why would you imagine Crunchyroll user reviews to have any meaning whatsoever?
Come to think of it, does Tomino ever use this? I don't actually think he did.

Is her name actually Kuroneko? LOL.

How?!
I guess the context in which the fight in 3 was framed was what the show called for at the time. I wasn't too keen on the actual engagement though; it felt like they wasted a lot of animation talent due to lack of an interesting storyboard and proper planning. The scenes that weren't gross CG were just crossing swords, shit blowing up with smoke or building up an ultimate attack that ended up being a still with speedlines.
Looking back at it, it would've been cool if that fight had more of a consequence and the show went somewhere from that, because how many times did they repeat the same duel? It got meaningless at some point, but then again, repetitiveness was a main issue on all the facets of the show.
I dunno I thought it had some rare moments of good animation and choreography just the thing was that they were really brief.
Episode 11
Episode 15
Episode 18
Episode 18
It definitely lacked some memorable action scenes in the last portion of the show though.
god, i was curious so checked Gifu Dodo!!'s page for ratings. There's a total of 16. Not 16 five star, not 16 four star, etc, but 16 across all ratings.
edit: lol 61 facebook likes, 3 google+ whatevers, and 8 tweets.
Would make it 17 but apparently you have to write a review to rate something on Crunchyroll. I understand why but ugh.
Gifuu's going to be one of those things that I will probably beg people to watch for years to come and will never succeed, like Natsu no Arashi. At least my jidaigeki hipster cred is through the roof since I like this and Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman.
Because they were overwhelmingly positive? I don't know. I just thought that crunchyroll would attract those with good taste in anime, but I'm starting to rethink that.
Would it be strange to drop this show after completing Yami of my own free will? Or should I continue so that I may provide impressions?

Tomino channels his hate for women in different ways, so he's really not as bad as some Japanese writers, all things considered!

Clearly there is some multidimensional phenomenon going on. Raku made a promise with every girl, and reality has broken down and they all exist at once.
EPIIX Romance sounds pretty great.

No girl rankings? What terrible critics.
Probably the most disgusting thing I have seen in anime so far. I saw that character is in the Fate/Stay Night but have yet to decide if I should bother seeing as when I read some wikis about Sakura
it was just over the top depressing
rape stuff
The only thing that keeps me sane when I'm forced to grasp just how inarticulate and undiscerning most of the vocal participants in this hobby are is that most of these people are probably teenagers. Even then, it doesn't really help.
Aside from, you know, the lightsaber bikini nonsense. Or Reccoa Londe betraying everything and everyone she stood for for some dick she never even got. Or Haman Khan, ruler of Earth, falling in love with a fifteen year old.
