I watched the first 5 eps of Kill la kill after googling this thread title and seeing it had an 8/10 on imdb
It's pretty funny but the gently caress is up with it being so much about tits and rear end
The no late day episode had me laughing pretty good
But seriously what is up with all the titty action

After seeing the whole thing there's almost as much manservice as there is fanservice

By the end of KLK every single character, male or female, is butt naked and clothing is irrelevant

The final battle aftermath is literally a massive naked snugglefest between every single still alive character
KLK has plenty of issues but it's got some great points too

KLK is almost the best anime. Gatchaman Crowds is probably the only one I can definitively say is better.

I do this both to piss off anime nerds and because that's what they are.

Oh, and KLK was really fun to watch but I don't reallymiss it that much now that it's over. Gurren Lagann was really loving awesome though.
Also why are there lots of anime threads in GBS now

kill la kill is good because it examines the obsession with tits, and ultimately concludes 'tits are cool I guess but so is egalitarianism, we should smash the patriarchy and capitalism'

i was concerned about the boobs and poo poo until i realized, :unsmith: "yeah, they're making a reason for it/making the whole point of the outfit being comfortable with your body"

and then the creepy sexual abuse came :stare:

It's creepy on purpose. The abusive character literally and I mean literally is the patriarchy.

Didn't really like the shift in tone in the middle. Felt like they couldn't decide what the gently caress they wanted to do with the plot. Still, it had some great moments.

the last two episodes of kill la kill felt to me like trigger saying, "sorry we made the middle of this show so mediocre, here are some things you liked from before episode 12, please forgive us"

still a marked improvement over the ryuko-brainwashed arc that preceded them

I do appreciate that klk is honest about being a ridiculous smorgasbord of fanservice as opposed to other animes which seem to like to pretend that there is no fanservice and everything is done with pure intentions and oh my i have no idea why that panty shot's there must be a mistake.

but it's still gross and weird
