Kiru ra kiru: KILL la KILL

This show is so bizarre I can't even begin to describe it. Its about 90% action that is edited so spastically its a wonder it ends up being so easy to follow. The characters and story are all over the place, but manage to be consistent and interesting. While this is definitely not a show for everyone, I would highly recommend it.

Straight off the bat, I'll admit that I'm not that much of an avid anime watcher. I adore Attack on Titan (and RWBY, but I'm not sure if that counts as "real" anime) but overall, I usually stay away from anime television shows. But Kill La Kill, my God, that sure caught my eye. Many believe that the story of Kill La Kill isn't the strongest, whereas I believe that it is one of its better areas. Looking back, I can't say I recollect any similar synopses compared to other shows. (IMDB states that 1985's 'Sukeban Deka' was an influence to the creators, but I have never heard of this series before, and it ended in 1982, leaving a void to fill) Kill La Kill has certainly filled this gap.

The first episodes very quickly set the precedent and foundations of the story, while remaining entertaining. Ryuko and her lovable though overly-obsessive friend Mako lead us on a very enjoyable ride through Honnouji Academy, where Ryuko aims to discover the identity of her father's killer.

Overall, a very absorbing, riveting story, combined with relatable and lovable characters and simple yet sharp animation creates a perfect mould for an extremely fascinating TV show. With the series looking to be running into late March/early April 2014, there is still plenty of time to start from the beginning to catch the end before the season draws to a close.

If you can look past the possible over-sexualisations and spontaneity, I thoroughly recommend this anime, even for those not necessarily of the anime persuasion.

This is that sort of anime that can be serious at times but shouldn't be taken seriously by the audience. Right from the first episode the show loads you with expedition and gets right into the action.

The animations is somewhat rough but impressive although some 3D models of backgrounds look bland but it shouldn't put off the viewer considering that fact that its not the reason they are watching this. The action sequences are the highlights though, they are super stylized and insane to watch.

Considering I only checked this anime out because its made by the same guys who made gurren lagann, i had really high hopes for it. But the thing is that this is not gurren lagann. its different. It doesn't take itself seriously and its more of a parody of every single anime in existence however it still manages to maintain an original story.

All in all, this type of anime is rare. Its silly and surprisingly good. Not to mention the generous amounts of fan service that the creators crammed into every scene.

Also the main character, Ryuko is totally bad ass although really cliché. But for an anime thats full of (good) clichés, its fun to watch.

upon the suggestion of a good friend, I decided this might be a good anime to watch, and he wasn't wrong. The immense creativity in this anime far surpasses what I usually expect from an animated product. its a story about a girl named Ryuko Matoi who is on a journey to find her fathers killer, armed with only half of his scissorblade. unfortunately, at the school she decides t loom in, the entire student body wears immensely powering clothes called goku uniforms. After being defeated easily, she stumbles upon a very reveling but empowering living unifrom named senketsu, and with its help and the support of an odd girl named mako, she must find out the truth about her fathers murder. just the synopsis is so ridiculous that only japan could try their hand on it.

this anime is so over-the-top, quickly paced, and well animated that it owns a place in my heart.

Fair enough, it should be first noted that a series that takes absolute liberties with mocking stereotypes and clichés will go a little overboard; Transformation-scenes go to lengths to display more-than-almost nudity at times, half a lake worth of blood is collectively spilled in only 24 episodes and any object might just explode (Most of them do).

Then again, that's the whole point. More than being a simple parody however, KlK does sport a decent story line complete with plot twists, decent character development (albeit absurd, of course) and a well-matched soundtrack. You'll love KlK, if the absurdist nature is your thing and you're not quickly offended by over-the-top anime clichés.
