So many dropped plot lines that never get referenced again

Its kind of amazing after watching TTGL and now PSG for the first time how much they just retread the ground with KLK.

The problem is that this series is going to try to treat itself seriously and get boring for most of the second half except for moments when the side characters do fun things.

Yeah well I'm easily entertained and don't mind that no one but Gamagoori gets meaningful character development.

Oh, incredibly. Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to be introduced to the main plot of Kill la Kill.

RMZXAnarchy posted:

Or rather, what happened after the studio got bored with the fight school routine.

I will say that the next 4 or so episodes aren't really bad per se, but they're not the same as the stuff before. Its really after that where things sort of take a down turn.

MrAristocrates posted:

I'll say it, though: these episodes are pretty bad. The fourth of those episodes, in particular, was the point I realized the show was just going to squander anything remotely interesting about its own setting, plot, or characters.
So is this something comparable to what happens after they wrap up the TRAPPED IN AN MMO WHERE YOU DIE IN THE GAME YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE plot in SAO season 1 and they just spend the entire second half of the season in that fairy mmo where no one can die but Asuna is now a kidnapped princess trapped in a castle and regularly threatened with rape and it's just completely tonally and qualitatively inconsistent with the first half?

I think this is the part where KLK ramps up even more because it really gets some focus and has a clear idea of what it wants to be and what it wants to do from here on out.

It repeats the same plot point like twice, but otherwise it's gonna be a lot tighter and less all over the place.

It trades one narrative for another, but it does not become tighter. This is the point where KLK actively drops multiple plot threads, focus on characters, and becomes a tonal mess with very little in the way of actual interesting character development as all of the cool characters are slowly put to the side for Ryuko and her lovely problems.

Well, I guess we have a different opinions. I think that starting with this episode the show finally decides on where it's going and every episode goes somewhere with the characters and the narrative.

You know after watching PSG on goonami I'm trying to think how it works in its crudeness/sexuality, while KLK mostly fails. Probably because its 15 minute format, the art style, and the fact that it doesn't try to treat itself seriously at any point whatsoever. Though I don't really blame Studio Trigger, they know their kind of audience and made this their first show to get some income for their start up studio. Unless I'm full of poo poo with this assumption so correct me if I am wrong.
