You know, all this time I thought your score for it would've been higher.

Even with the gripes you had with the show.

It not even being an 8 for you is highly surprising to me.

I'm not mad at TRIGGER, personally. Never have been.

They did their best with what they were given.

No. That's wrong.

This isn't even their best (Little Witch Academia is probably a start to where they're going) and look how good it is?

Fucking Nakashima though...

Well, about the score, I will clarify. My base score for KILL la KILL is an 8. However, if you'd like to include a bonus point for how they accomplished something this good as their first, self-funded, original animation TV series, it gets a bit of a boost.

Overall, I personally give KILL la KILL an overall score of 8.5 - It's bold, its art is imaginative and detailed, the effects used are incredibly well used & stylistic, and it boasts an impressively diverse cast of characters who are all love-able to some degree. KILL la KILL's main flaws are its animation, some of the re-used gags, and slight holes in the writing, where things could have been better explained.*

*Few of the plot holes are so bad that the story could no longer have happened. Everything could have fit together almost the exact same way a bit better if some developments had been explained differently, or altered just slightly. (Exmples: How the blades work // The timeline for Souichirou's Escape) This does not excuse these faults though, as they were written in, and do take away from the enjoyment if noticed.

I'd definitely say that Little Witch Academia is the better quality TRIGGER production, though I openly admit it's not as risky as something like KILL la KILL which had its fair share of controversy. Regardless, I can't wait until they release LWA 2, as well as hopefully continue the series through more OVA/Mini-Movie type episodes.


Ooeh. Small print.

I see. Makes perfect sense (your score).

Mine would've been just as high, maybe even higher, because, presentation-wise, the show is unique as hell and that automatically got it 5 points out of 10 from me, right from episode 1. If the writing had delivered and kept on delivering pffft it would have gotten a 9.something maybe even the full 10 out of 10.

The staff promoting it as a character drama and then subsequently it airing in the same season as White Album 2 hurt it bad, though.

But the Studio really deserves praise for their bravery and skill.

Great episode! Lots of action, and table turning! I love this show, and it's going to hurt to see it end...

But can we take a minute and appreciate how awesome the Elite Four are?!

I understand if people find this ep underwhelming, but what the hell are they bringing up TTGL? They might have to rewatch TVA TTGL to break their illusory nostalgia and feel how bad TTGL was in the second half.

Anyway, the whole ship-blade sequence was truly memorable.

Mako's power is over 9000! Nui is getting crazier now. Intense fight when they are battling their mother. Oh damn, the Elite Four are back in action.

Yeah and the second half....... Yeah I don't know what to say, my mind is being overwhelmed by the pure epicness.

Damn... that ending scene. Last episode will be filled with some epic moments.

Christ, Trigger, with the Satsuki death flags scattered throughout the last few episodes, you drop the major one "lolno, don't break the cups, I'm gonna live".

Trigger, you better not pull a Kittan on us at the last moment... We had the false Ryuuko death (which was shown to be a trick plan), but killing Satsuki just won't feel right. It's like she's become the real main character while Ryuuko evolved into her support...

And that ship having a blade was ass-pully as hell (the ship itself is another matter entirely when you think about it).

It was pretty obvious the ship being a blade to begin with.


Ollythirteen tends to be blind to that stuff. It's like he watches the show with only 1 open and brain at half mast.

Wait, wasn't that outfit that Ragyou is wearing meant for Satsuki and/or Ryuuko?

Remember Ragyou tapping Satsuki's ass to infuriate her back when she was imprisoned?

And all that talking her and Nui did about the uniform devouring Satsuki?


One translation had Nui say that Satsuki wasn't going to wear it, but rather, that she was going to be devoured by it. So, I'm thinking that things like "Hououmaru-devoured" means that the outfit is powered by beings that it takes into itself, eating their energy.
Perhaps the amount of energy it gains is greater with a higher amount of emotional charge, such as Satsuki's hatred of her Mother.

Uzu got his eyes back that's good but i will certainly miss the bandanna.
New uniforms great.
lol, the power source of the ship was actually a huge hamster wheel. Harime Nui was so badass she break the fouth wall and hijacked the cute ending NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The more it goes the better kill la kill becomes DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ANIME.

@ JerichoDeath, sounds plausible.

I remember it saying devour as well but I thought more a Kinue Devoured than a Mako Devoured.

Also the way the two spoke made it seem like it was meant for Satsuki.

And what you said about Hououmaru: you think that's the way Satsuki is going to die? (If they go that way) She gets trapped to Ragyou's body and then Ryuuko has to kill them both sort of thing? Because it looked like Hououmaru was being used as a shield.

Hope not. To do another predictable thing on the final episode wouldn't be the best thing for this show.

@ TDnevermore,

Looked like a ship to me (ships do look like blades that much is obvious. But the ship actually HAVING a blade?! And it being strong enough to cut through the OLF? Questionable. As is the fact that they built.a ship to fight something that was airborne...)

@ Eratik,

Them going to space will not help the GL comparisons lol But honestly, I'd take space over fighting at Hounoj Gakuen. The show should've left that place behind the moment Satsuki pressed the button. The Kiryuin manor now that would've been a fantastic place for a climatic battle.

I'm not entirely certain that Hououmaru is alive right now, or if she was assimilated into the Kamui, given her coloring, and the fact that she was nowhere to be seen immediately after being devoured.

Also, I wonder if "Subjugate" means that the outfit is based around Marionette Threads... taking control of others besides herself, or even of other Kamui, bending them to her will?

If you remember, the "Naked Sol", or whatever, was first introduced in that Blade Form, then it opened up to look more like an aircraft carrier.

Pretty epic episode, but last week was better overall.

Am I the only one who thinks that the 4 devas uniforms look way better than satsuki and ryuko's god robes. Maybe that's because of how much i have seen the latter.

Hoping the finale to be something like this: At the last moments of the battle, Ryuko unites the scissor blades and with the assistance of Satsuki, they cut Ragyo into little tiny pieces and get all soaked in her blood while this track is playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGmyViGVKkc

This would satisfy me to the fullest. But with Trigger, anything is possible. Can't wait!

@ Jericho Death, (about the Naked Sol), I probably missed that. Did the ship close before it was launched at the OLF? And still it being able to pierce the OLF? That question lingers I guess.

About Ragyou's threads, It's anyone's guess, though hopefully it does as much damage as it looks capable of. For some odd reason though when I saw her put it on my immediate thought was a lot of the people at Hounouji are goners. But when I think about it will they have time for that? (Maybe mass killings but individual deaths for the main and supporting? The battle will probably take most of the episode...probably)

I liked Hououmaru. I do hope she isn't dead. In fact she probably isn't. Back in episode 17 or was it 18 she attacked Satsuki with some stretch power. I've always thought she may have had life fibers placed into her because of that (I could be wrong and it could just be her outfit)

Best part was when they rammed it with the naked sun, that was epic.

How are they gonna win? ragyou is too op, they have to combine or sacrifice themselves (mako )to powerup ryuuko.

SEASON 2 - I don't see them beating ragyou and Nui in one episode.

@ Rastafa21,

Inumuta's and Nonon's looked pretty boss. Sanageyama's and Gamagoori's looked similar to their old ones. Only slightly though.

Shame about the Kamui.

Actually this brings up a question: the secnd to the last thing we see at the end of this new OP - do you think they've abandoned that (Senketsu opening his two eyes and God knows which Godrobe that was with the many eyes).

You see, that OP makes it seem like that new God Robe was for Satsuki or will devour Satsuki (since Junketsu only has two eyes)...or perhaps it was just a reference to that chakra opening back in ep 16?

Didn't somebody say that the original life fiber kept all other life fibers alive? Wouldn't that imply it isn't dead, and that when it is, Senketsu will "die" and Ryuko will be crippled/maimed?

It seems that only applies to life fibers who don't have a host ,since senketsu has Ryuko he feeds of her for energy.

Anyways gret ep ,for some reason I thought it's going to have 25 episodes so I was surprised the next one is the last one ,I really thought that that black girl was going to have a larger part in the anime at one point but it seems she was in the anime for no reason at all.
