The first half of KLK was fun enough but I thought the back half just sucked in all ways.

it's really odd how much of the back half is premised so hard around caring about the cast because it kind of demands a level of emotional investment the show doesn't quite build up and within that back half they don't really do much more to explore anyone than they did in the front. there's a lot of interesting character relationships in kill la kill that are more, implied, than explicitly built upon within the text, which is how you get a mix of people being convinced mako is 100% canonically meant to hook up with gamagoori and people who think mako is 100% canonically meant to hook up with ryuko because both of those pairings get some level of emphasis in the show but neither one is actually really fully established to be A Thing lol. there's also nonon and how there's tons of doujins about nonon and satsuki because, there's some hints of stuff between the two, but nothing that the show actually emphasizes as a big thing to build upon by the end

KLK was fun to watch and experience as it was airing, but it didn't really hold up to a rewatch.

Mako was the only character I consistently had an emotional investment in. I thought Satsuki looked cool as hell in her regular gear.

I'm pretty drat excited for Kill la Kill. It has a ton of really talented staff on board. Imaishi is directing, Nakashima is behind the script and composition, and Imaishi is apparently bringing all his many very talented friends on board to contribute, because that's the kind of guy he / they are. It's likely going to be a veritable who-animated-that-cool-as-hell-section-there smorgasbord of guest animators. It's assured to be one of the best if not THE best animated thing this season, and it will be the absurdly dynamic and completely batshit insane in a good way. If you like drills, swords, rainbowexplosions, and really fast action, and I know I do, this series is a going to be reaaaallll sure bet. The series also is probably going to have a fair bit of fanservice, much like other shows Imaishi has had his hand in. It will be  . If you are particularly bothered by such things and not willing to look past it, I'd give this a pass. Personally I've always found their fanservice to be more grindhouse-absurd than actually titillating, and I trust Imaishi and co will make A Good Show, but do not expect anything progressive out of this. We've seen the concept art, and the 3 minute PV is pretty clear. This is action and tits shlock, much like Gurren-Lagann and the others. Please don't post about it, it's kind of a tired and pointless topic; we all know.
