Kill la Kill

Both have over the top fighting scenes, post apocalyptic universe, fanservice and hilarious characters.
The 'villans' are a group of four with a leader.
Kill la Kill has Imayoshi's special touch in animation where as Needless certainly influenced by Gainax but not as crazy as Kill la Kill

It would be silly to not compare this to Needless. Both deal with people with enhanced powers, or superpower. In this case, "Kill Ia Kill" has the student council have their enhanced powers come from what are called Ultima Uniforms.
In "Needless" the main protagonist, Cruz, has no powers but is able to out strategize his opponents and defeat them. In "Kill la Kill" Ryūko Matoi carries one half of a scissors sword that can defeat the Ultima Uniforms.

In the top of the pyramid food chain, the strong rule the weak and any form of disobedience will be weeded out effectively to minimise possible resistance. Although, behind the mask, there are clandestine truths to be discovered. The animation, OST, action, etc are only small fragments in these truly remarkable series.
'Needless' kick start its campaign with superior battles that will take your breath away, but what seems to be a standard story slowly develops into a string of twists where one must always expect the unexpected. Trust is a luxury no one can afford, with a high probability of being back-stabbed during a misguided

Both titles are over-the-top shounen storylines about a person defeating super-powered enemies. Both have a dystopian-style setting and a gratuitous amount of ecchi and fan-service scenes.
Kill la Kill seems to be an improved and female version of Needless. The same kind of action and features, the same character spirits, with a rough design. The shows offer powered fights with high pace and frenzied rhythms.

As if action wasn't enough, Needless and Kill la Kill takes action to a whole new level with its characters and battles. The presentation of both series depicts a similar setting involving superpowers.
The main characters gets involved with various events that puts their lives and others at risk against certain foes. As anti-government force to be recognized, the main characters makes a name for themselves in the chaos to fight what they believe in.
Expect high volumes of drama, comedy, action, and fighting.
Over the top craziness? Yeah, Needless has got some of that. In fact the stories are very similar. A group of powerful individuals oppress the weak lower class in a post-apocalyptic environment. I personally haven't watched the entire show, but from the first ten or so episodes, I can tell that the craziness only continues to increase as the show goes on. Definitely worth a watch.
Needless is probably one of the closest animes in comparison to Kill la Kill
-They both have similar stories for example in Needless the main character is trying to beat a boss of some organization that is super strong and has loyal subordinates who would fight for the death for him/her their also strong and feared by the normal people just like in Kill la Kill. The stories are really not that different in fact their almost the same.
- The atmosphere of the animes are also very similar
- Both have about the same fan service
-Both have bad ass antagonists and protagonists as well
Kill la Kill is basically Needless in school. Both anime take place in a post apocalyptic world. Not only that, but both anime feature over the top craziness, insane fights, the same level of fanservice and a similar brand of comedy. The storylines are different, but the characters (especially the main antagonists of both anime) and art styles really resemble each other. Kill la Kill is crazier than Needless, but give both of these at least a try.
