[Anime] Kill la Kill

Oh god it's so weird seeing the characters from the show leading normal lives. But I hear an OVA will come out soon. I hope so. Not nearly enough of an ending to satisfy me.

Poor Senketsu :(

Ragyou was wearing it the entire time, ever since the last episode.

Ehhh I think they botched the finale a bit. Ryuko's poor last words to Senketsu and Senketsu's death. Felt like it was too forced to be a legitimate MC death. There was also that fake death scene with Gamagori, where Mankanshou and Harime silliness basically ruined that transparent but still touching affair. Still I liked how they didn't beat around the bush and the over-the-top insanity going on. Anime was good, not great but good.


Wait till he learns that Mankanshoku is lesbian.

I was pissed that Satsuki chopped her hair off!! It was so pretty before, why?!? I was happy that the character's I enjoyed stayed alive, but yeah the ending was a bit lackluter for me as well, though senktsu's ultimate form was pretty badass.

I hope there is an OVA for this and that it will be good.

Senketsu. < /3 It was so quick, but we all knew it was coming (at least my friends and I did). I would be very interested to see the OVA, considering everything seems so normal now? Satsuki's short hair * v*

A hella forced death. Did Senketsu have to die? How was Ryuko able to move in the 'absolute domination' move? I'm neither life fiber nor human my ass...you have life fibers in your body I call plot armor.

Ragyo's motives weren't fleshed out at all. Covers were a joke, they absorbed people and flew around arm wrestling. By the way you cut them open, the people inside are just fine. How did she discover the original life fiber? What gave her the idea that the life fibers wanted to take over? Why did they turn her into a pandering yuri fanservice bot? What was the point of her wearing Junketsu in an earlier episode? How was she going to force Satsuki to wear Shinra Kotetsu and why since she planned on blowing up the world anyway? Why did she use the mind control tactic on Ryuko yet she broke out of it easily before? Why would you want to use your daughters to your advantage even though they've shown to be competent enough to break out of your schemes?

You didn't give Isshin/Souichiro a chance...oh wait, you want them under your control because he's a man and you're a lesbian they become under your control in more ways than one >_>

Abandoned plot points (Red Herrings?)
-The point of Sanageyama's blindess/early rivalry with Ryuko
-Some of Ragyo's motives, see above paragraph
-What clue lead Ryuko to Honnouji academy instead of REVOCS
-90% of clothing by REVOCS? 10% owned by what now? What about nudist beach's holsters? Why did they wear Goku uniforms in the final battle even though it's shown that even Sanageyama's uniform don't work against COVERS?
-Why did Mikisugi and Tsumugu job so hard? What happened to the debt being owed?

Am I thinking too much? Did some of these get answered in the series?

- Sanageyama wanted to have a rematch with Ryuuko but was cut off by the appearance of Nui, case closed.
- Ragyo's motives are rather easy to explain: She fused with life fibers and basically developed a very life fiber mindset AKA she considered herself to be life fiber instead of human and acted on life fiber instinct, which includes cultivating planets to eat them later
- The clue that lead Ryuuko to Honnouji is nonexistent
- I think you missed that one scene where REVOCS succeeded in aquiring 100% of the world's textil market or something like that. Apparently the Nudist Beach holsters are made of rubber, or some other material that does not include any sort of fabric. Final battle Goku Uniforms are said to be powered up, probably to a point where one would be able to fight COVERS; remember that the scissors are also made out of buffed up life fiber (as is probably Bakuzan)
- Tsumugu was apparently indebted to Mikisugi, no further details were given. Due to that debt Tsumugu refrained from eliminating Senketsu early in the show.

Ryuko was controlled by Life Fibers on several occasions, her monster transformation, Kamui Junketsu and so on. Her stubbornness, help from friends, and so on helped her overcome this. Ryuko was vulnerable to blood loss early one because she was still "evolving", that is not how evolution works, with Senketsu until they reached complete synchronization where Ryuko just regenerates everything. Ryuko is an idiot that's her reason for Honnoji first, she wandered into the nearest town to her father's death and declared vengeance on the most aggravating person she found first. I don't really like Ryuko.

Ragyou was obsessed with life fibers simply because her family line did it for ages and had life fibers sewn into her body to show her devotion. She put too much effort in her daughters because she wanted her own blood to see COVERS in her light despite her reputation for ruthlessness. Even though there are reasons for her actions they are poor.

Gurren Lagann DID require brain shut-downs in many areas. Their model of evolution is inaccurate, spiral energy is unfeasible, throwing Galaxies around like frisbees and Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann(the mecha) almost killed all my braincells. However using spiral power instead of magic frees up more options without having to sit the viewer down to an hour long lecture on a fool-proof model for infinite energy that doesn't make a physicist gag.

NDB were probably smart enough to wear the 10% or custom made clothes. Bakuzan is a sword probably made of life fiber, it's there because it's cool (even though Bakuzan is underwhelming to me). It's like drills in TTGL, there are clearly reasonable alternatives but they are probably less interesting. They could have addressed the Four Devas and NDB's beef with Ryuko, but it's silly to squabble over vengeance/rivalry with the humanity's only hope and when Satsuki accepted Ryuko it pretty much meant that the Four Devas had to drop it.

-I'll give you points on the evolution thing, since her evolution was actually mentioned during the Naturals Election arc when Mikisugu said she was becoming too powerful.
-This can only be inferred that she wanted to show her devotion by becoming one with the enemy, unless I missed it. All I know is she said she was a mouthpiece for COVERS. I wonder how the family stumbled on the life fiber and came up with the ideals that the OLF wanted to take over. Another potential plot point gone.
-Infeasable, yeah that's why it's an asspull like I said above. The reason why they were able to throw galaxies is because they were in an alternate dimension which our rules didn't apply. Some say that Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's size is indeterminate because it was shown in an alternate dimension.
-NDB's 'clothing' is but another fanwank. Not exclusively said in the anime. So is what Bakuzan is made of or rather how it was made. Sure both are plausible, but are inferences in the end. Drills were just the motif of TTGL itself they wanted to keep that theme consistent. All the Devas could've held a grudge against Ryuko. We still don't know the reason why Sanageyama went first and not only that went as far as sewing his eyes shut for the sake of victory. The Deva's (my favorite characters besides Satsuki) development petered out towards the end.

That's not what I said at all. I said that mindless fun should not be an excuse for bad quality and that Kill la kill was good. Good meaning average.

Satsuki on episode 18 around 3:52 said that Ragyou infused herself with Life Fibers.

I missed this earlier, Ragyou states that Bakuzan is a sword based off the Original Life Fiber swords that Ragyou uses to fight with.

If our laws did not apply in that alternate dimension, then it's pretty unlikely that a human would survive in that dimension because it operates our dimension's laws. A solution is that spiral energy altered their bodies to apply to the new dimension's laws, but spiral energy is magic. I really dislike revisiting the logic of TTGL because it all boils down to spiral energy being magic.

A viewer is expected to piece together some information themselves, likewise the writer should be able to estimate the mental capacity of the crowd that he/she is trying to appeal to. Kill la kill probably expected too much inference, but some of those details were insignificant to me anyways.

I think that people can watch Kill la kill however they so please, because they deserve the right to derive pleasure their way. Who knows they might pick up something I missed. That said I think Kill la kill at least didn't get bogged down and completely lost in it's plot so it was watchable. You might think otherwise. Good for you. Have a biscuit, say your piece and go; because I'm pretty sure a good enough chunk of this has been resolved to come to the conclusion that Kill la kill is not your thing or is.
