I forget where it was posted, but Evangelion-endorsed Gilette shaving products were totally a thing at some point.

I enjoyed the OVA. It was a fluffy little epilogue, but I enjoyed it. They needed to fight something, otherwise it's not really Kill la Kill, but the general gist of things was fun. Was a decent send off for the show. I think I'll kinda miss it now.

I was just happy to see the kamui-school finally activating, because that was the biggest bit of speculation in this thread that didn't end up happening and it made me sad. Also the Blade Regalia being back but that's because I'm a total, unapologetic fanboy for that design.

I felt about the same way ending the show as I did when I watched the first episode it last year: confused on how I should feel really. In the end, I'm glad Kill la Kill was around though because it left a lot of fun memories. Especially Mako ones.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Ok yeah I am really glad I didn't convince my wife to watch this one with me Honestly I think at some point Kill la Kill was envisioned as a good faith attempt to make a commentary on the sexualization of characters in anime, subvert the tropes of the magical girl and shonen genres similarly to Madoka, and make a spectacle of its own ludicrous nature. Like my assumption initially was that the Ryuko panty shot that happened pretty much once every episode for no reason was supposed to be a running gag about fanservice. But once the show presents sex in bunch of disparate ways and starts amping it up progressively it's hard not to see it as pandering. I think the show is fundamentally flawed but still enjoyed the OVA, the good anime yelling, big tits, and special attacks.

No, I'm pretty sure they were trying to have their cake and eat it too the whole time. So like everything else, they were just eating cake.

Or if the icing is cum, and instead of a cake, it's some dude jerking off in your face. I don't know now this relates to Kill la Kill, I'm just talking about cake. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Was I the only one who were not bothered by all this nakedness, heck it didn't even felt like fanservice (except for a certain couple of parts). People just get naked left and right, men and women and none of them are in focus for more than a few seconds. Heck, this is an anime where people beat each other down by destroying their clothing, yet there's no scene where girls go "Kyaaa" hiding their bodies while their clothes and only their clothes are torn to pieces. I get more annoyed with fanservice with other shows where people are usually fully clothed, but not with this (again, except those certain scenes).

Yeah but her scenes were aggressively unsettling. Nothing about the tone of those scenes belittled the action, it was just hosed up. There's a difference between sexuality and pandering sexuality, as noted above.

I thought senketsu would return in ~spirit~ or something but Ryouko left the scissors back there. OT:Anyone know why the two sisters split up though? I almost expected them to turn into a team and conquer the world together. I mean, I'm sure they'd have a lot of stuff to talk about too

what's the ballpark average for posters who say the sex scenes were upsetting to them who actually got hella turned on because i'm guessing roughly 100%

Yeah, I wasn't a total fan of the fanservice, but this is also the show that had the stripper professor with the glowing butthole. If anything its at least equal opportunity with its shamelessness.

And if you watched Kill la Kill past the first episode, surely you aren't offended by fanservice enough to care.
