| Fans in Japan are predicting this news will be much more enthusiastically received in the west than in Japan. Well, let's see.. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Well, looking forward to it~ |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| In the top white picture, it seems Yoko will be back :D |
| You had me at Trigger. Anything from the studio responsible for the masterpiece that is Inferno Cop will surely be amazing. |
 |
| Where the fuck is my P&S season 2 |
 |
| DO WANT |
| If that character is gonna be the MC or even just a character in the anime, I'll definitely be watching. If that is from another anime, can someone tell me which anime he is from? |
 |
| Looks badass. EDIT after update: This IS badass. All aboard the hype train! Choo Choo! |

 |
| OMG TRIGGER<3 |
 |
| Looks awesome, he's definitely one of the greatest anime directors and animators out there |
 "Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?" |
| Ah, yes. I remember Panty and Stockings before... Will check this out. |
 |
| This is going to be amazing. Can't wait to get more of Imaishi's special band of CUHRAYZEE! |
| As much as I'm glad that Imaishi still has a project up in his sleeve, I do hope that Trigger will redeem itself with this anime after the meme-worthy failure that is Inferno Cop. |
| I hope it's better than P&S... Though by the looks of it, the atmosphere should be completely different so we're fine. |
 |
| For some reason I got BRS vibe, lol. But still, I hope the anime will be a good one. |
| FUCK YEAH IMAISHI! It looks really awesome, I hope it doesn't ends like a joke (See : INFERNO COPPU) |
 |
| BRING IT ON!!! it looks like it will be another over the top anime like Gurren Lagann |
| P&S was dumb. |

 |
| My body is ready. |
| Anything from Imaishi Hiroyuki is a must watch. Just like with Suda 51 in games. |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| Inferno Cop: The Movie is what I want! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Let's wait :) |
 |
| Awesome. I'm not expecting another TTGL, but neither am I expecting a total dud. Looking forward to this. |
| i'm looking forward to someone original |

| The latest June issue of NewType magazine carries the latest details of the project: Name of the anime - "Kirurakiru" (Kill la Kill) Studio - Trigger Director - Imaishi Hiroyuki[ Series Composition - Nakashima Kazuki Character Design - Sushio Length of the series - 2 cours Broadcast schedule - not disclosed yet Main Characters Matoi Ryuuko (seiyuu not disclosed yet) - motto: Conquest x Revenge Kiryuuin Satsuki (seiyuu not disclosed yet) - motto: Conquest x Conquest Story background: A story about battle actions between highschool girls. In a school where strength and power is everything, a new transfer student triggers an upheaval. Satsuki is a 18 year old girl who is the student council president. She dominates the campus with her overwhelming power. In her position, she examines the ability of each student and is able to grant those she deems worthy the "extreme uniform (gyoku seifuku)" that can bring superhuman power to the wearer. Ryuuko is a 17 year old girl who has just transferred into this school. She has half a pair of giant scissors made of tachi-sword and is searching for the remaining half. She is going to find out she is in a much bigger adventure than she has expected. Character design art (and interview with Sushio): Source: Scan of NewType |

| boring |
| Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast. In sword etched he his fading memories In stone, his tempered skill By sword attested, by stone revealed. Their tale can now be told |
| Weird synopsis. I need to see more. |
on | A lot of people are misunderstanding the concept a little bit; it's not just a "high-school battle" anime. The high-school in question is set in a post-apocalyptic setting inspired by the Meiji Era and the Tower of Babel: (Larger Image) |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| New CM >dat music New Ryuuko pose New Ryuuko faces I have a feeling they will be slowly revealing the rest of the staff and the cast every week in new CMs. Kinda like they did with Madoka; Aniplex knows how to create hype. They did the same for PsychoPass and Vividass. |

| Seiyuu for the two main characters revealed: Matoi Ryuuko - Koshimizu Ami (Kallen in Code Geass, Holo in Spice and wolf) Kiryuuin Satsuki - Yuzuki Ryoka (Arcueid in Carnival Phantasm, Ino in Naruto) http://polyphonicar2010.blog51.fc2.com/blog-entry-14651.html Edit: Sharing this news about KLK for my 2000th message, nice. |

| ^ Veteran and mature-voiced seiyuu. Interesting choice. BTW, if you want to put the last name first like the Japanese do, then it should be Matoi Ryuuko - Koshimizu Ami Kiryuuin Satsuki - Yuzuki Ryoka (not Ryoka Yuzuki) |
