If theres one show out there that will proudly take the title of Extravagant Craziness then this show will do just that and display it in a blinding beacon for the whole world to see while being barenaked in fact Or to put it another way its basically an extraordinary trip through everything that you can find in an action anime. My reaction or set of reactions I should say from the first episode can be extended throughout the whole show. That one single episode is honestly enough to outline what Kill la Kills explosive entertainment is all about: a condensation of bewildering eccentric exciting loud crazy eroticized flashy and wacky qualities. And there are 24 episodes of that. I think its easy to visualize just how wild of a ride this was. So without further ado... https://i.ur.com/2XLqh9L.png Enter Honnouji Academy One crazy school where powerful clothes decide your social hierarchy and shouting like a maniac is everyones favorite pastime. You can find a nudist teacher who has nipples that glow a purplish pride all kinds of notsonormal clubs and a strong student council called the Elite Four thats led by an even more strong girl named Satsuki here. Yeah a pretty weird school to be enrolled to but worry not Beneath all of these stylized absurdities theres an actual story that knows how to intensify common battle tropes to entertaining levels with a chain of events that never fails to leave me excited for the next one. Ryuuko Matoi is the protagonist were following this time around. After circumstances led to her finding Senketsu a sentient sailor suit who grants her great powers shes now able to start an arduous journey and challenge Honnouji Academy the place where she can find the answers to the murder of her father. A loner at first but gradually accumulates into a girl who is reckless badass easily embarrassed and earnest all at the same time she personifies what it means to be a wellrounded female lead. The first half is particularly essential to establish the crazy world of Kill la Kill although the seemingly constant clashing does make it a bit draggy at times. However its still important in providing a background to the parentless Ryuuko most importantly in how she grows up to being taken in by an eccentric family. She might look like someone who only has an attitude to fight anyone for her own benefit but when you see her softening up to caring people blandness is definitely not a part of her characterization. https://i.ur.com/CvHTe2h.png Of course other characters are also here to steal the show. Not a single one of them are what you should consider to be normal people. Just imagine what its like when a show has a large cast of unrestrained quirkinesswith all boasting their own crazy fighting style and personalitythen let them duke it out wherever they go. Hopefully what you imagined is a fastpaced battlefield full of exaggerated entertainment. From tough people like Satsuki and the Elite Four to the weird exhibitionist teacher I mentioned before and even buffoons like Mako everyone weaves together into an overall thrill thats simply engaging to experience the whole way through. Another thing worth mentioning are the overarching themes that are entwined within Kill la Kill itself. The family stuff Ive discussed already is perhaps the most notable one but things like fascism in Honnouji Academy womanhood through the female characters and the fashion of the clothing powers made of Life Fiberswhich serves as another pivotal mystery in conjunction with the murder of Ryuukos fatherare some of the other topics that are present here. These underlying connections to realworld society may be glazed by over depending on how much knowledge you have but if you pick them up youll realize there are a lot more interesting layers to this show than just mere exaggerations and fan services. https://i.ur.com/MZVBjwX.png Then theres the art. Yep. The one thats responsible for giving the show its own distinctive styleand its marvelous to look at. The celshaded appearance exudes so many great personalities with Trigger using a large number of visual techniques such as warm red tones magnified expressions bold typography blinding rays of light bizarre clothes designs physicsdefying animation dramatic speed lines and a mostly wellblended use of CGI to go all over the place anywhere and anytime it wants. As simple as that. It embraces chaos and its not afraid to be chaotic which makes up for a lot of exciting action scenes. The only thing that slightly diminishes the shows fastpaced nature is with its tendency to repeat certain scenes but they arent detrimental enough to ruin the epic cinematography. Similarly an arrangement of booming soundtracks can be heard alongside the visual another technical aspect that packs an energy to turn the overthetop levels up to the highest elevation. Most notably for the character themes every time the tracks start playing in the background youll know its time for the scenes to get some majestic propulsion. And I also have to say. This show is loud. The characters are loud the battles are loud the comedies are loud. Roaring is what it will always blast and theres never a dull moment around when you have that for the entire runtime. In the end Kill la Kill is a crazy show but its crazy good. It takes everything that is great in an action anime and energizes them up like an adrenaline rush making for an entertainment thats a blast to watch through. Just dont lose your way watching this. Stay on the path for the entire ride because youre about to get fully pumpedup. 480https://i.ur.com/wOTt2DR.gif
