KLK thread

Kill la Kill happened almost 5 years ago

Does Sup Forums still pretend to hate this show?

Should've had finale at 13.

I think time is the scariest thing ever.

Everything will go away. All the memories i shared all the people i have meet will eventually be all gone and forgotten.
And no one will ever know i experienced them.

But i will never ever forget watching this show together with Sup Forums and how much joy that brought me in a particular time of my life.

thanks

Started rewatching it a few days ago. I expected to not enjoy it now that I am off the hype train, but it's actually much better than I remembered.

>Kill la Kill was 5 years ago
>still fap to Ryuko daily
Thank you trigger

Sup Forums never liked it

I guess I should probably go for a rewatch. Haven't seen it since it originally aired.

K-on's anime adaptation was nearly a decade ago. At this point I know that a third season will never live up to the second, but it doesn't stop me from wanting it.

>edge la edge

I want to go back

Nobody hates Kill la Kill. It isn't a bad show by any means. I think the big thing is that it had a lot of problems (shouldn't have been 24 episodes long, a lot of pointless filler in the middle-end bits, animation budget is all over the place at times despite for the most part being incredibly high quality).

KLK was mostly big because of how much fucking fun it was. No one knew what was going on or what was going to happen. You just look at the first few episodes of the show, where it has this sort of Slice of Life aspect to it, and then later on it starts just going absolutely batshit crazy, the most unexpected shit happening. It was so tropey that no one really could expect the shit that happened.

KLK was mostly good for the experience. No one really knew what to expect, and with all the threads discussing all whatever was going on, and the show kept blowing up and changing, so people felt genuinely excited for the next episode, since no one knew what the fuck was going on.

Honestly there isn't much point to watch it anymore. Binging it is nothing like the experience of waiting each weak, with no idea what the hell to expect. Shit like when Nui finally got BTFO towards the end was absolutely fucking amazing, and the threads were fun as hell.

Not many shows really do that ever. A lot of people expected something as fantastic as Gurren Lagann, which it wasn't, however it filled that hole, where you have an original IP that's so out there and over the top that you never know what to expect coming, and it was still an amazing show because of that. Did it save anime? No.

Honestly the biggest thing was likely that it was an original anime, not sourced from an LN, Manga, or whatever. Most anime are adaptations, and generally there are so many running themes to say Manga publication that everything feels kinda the same, but shows like Gurren Lagann or Kill la Kill aren't restrained by that I guess.

Or maybe I'm just autistic or some shit.

Watching KLK together has been one of the most fun things on this entire website. That and browsing Sup Forums during the 2016 election.

>it was an original anime
Those are the best anime to begin with, and we need more of them instead of adaptations. Studios should have more pride.

you mean 5

Very few adaptions are any good honestly. It's only the ones that really stand out on their own that are actually good in any sense, or have something to define them from the rest.
Lets just think about that for a second, especially with popularity in the west, especially with more recent adaptions. Dragonmaid or Konosuba for example exploded in popularity. When it comes down to it they weren't anything super special, but they did things differently. They are both technically Isekai, but instead of being some edgy "TRAPPED IN FANTASY WORLD OHNOS" like SAO or whatever other garbage, they were light-hearted, and different enough to the edgy dark fantasy chuuni bullshit, to the point of both having characters that are really just satires of that edgy dark fantasy shit. Umaru for another shitty example, did nothing, but it was so obnoxiously terrible that you really had nothing to compare it to, it was so fucking devoid of anything and had the most obnoxious being that was seemed to be designed to be the worst Mary Sue possible, it's managed to literally fucking destroy Sup Forums while it was airing, despite being absolute horseshit garbage. Jojo, regardless of whether you like it or not, is so unique in the way it's done, and is such a fucking huge mess of pop culture references and tropes taken to such an extreme that it ends up being something so unique there's nothing really like it. Eromanga and Oreimo became fucking huge, despite being of such a taboo subject as incest.

Then you have shows like Kill la Kill or Gurren Lagann that are so fucking on their own you can't really compare them to anything else. They take things to a level where you don't know what to expect, and aren't restricted by the publishing demographics in the way manga or light novels are, it can really be something of it's own.

TL;DR any show that gains traction, despite how shitty it may be, does something different anything else you can't not address it.

Holy crackers, I hope that's pasta.

Idk My favorite part about the show is the breakneck speed that it covers what in other shows would be substantial plot points. It's also one of the only shows that's had me smiling or laughing through almost the entire thing. Also cuz ryuko is a godess

It is now.

GR6 :^)

Anyone remembers

Kek le drek was trash then and it's trash now. What an awful waste of everyone's time.

>writes something in earnest

I don't really, I just don't care for it.

That's literally the same post but it's greentext.

Guys it came out in 2013 that's 8 years don't be fooled so easily.

>Nobody hates Kill la Kill.
Talk about yourself

>2013: Kill lel Kek
That's snk fanbase

Garbage

Hyperbole exists, the point was that people were critical of the series, since it had huge expectations and didn't live up to them, and had a lot of issues, but that doesn't mean that they hated it. I can criticize something I liked or enjoyed, that does not mean I hated it.

...

But there's a lot of posts calling it garbage, and that's not a criticize of some aspect far as I know

>almost 5 years ago
You do know 4 is a number, right?

NO, IT ISN'T. SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

I still dont get it
>cheapen out on animation for an action anime
>put in a bunch of religious imagery that doesnt go anywhere (like her eye being the wheel of the hindus or something)
>make the sister an antagonist but then later she turns saying she was just testing you without it ever being foreshadowed or built up, making it look like a desperate attempt to keep the plot going rather than something planned out
>make the shirt burn up for no reason at the end
They shouldve gotten a competent writer and condensed the series to get better action scenes that didnt feel like it was made by 5 guys in a korean sweatshop with no time.

The last one is a fairly typical magical girl trope.

Yeah but usually it is said beforehand. Like something escapes and the girl gains magical powers to set it right, but the magical power is tied to the thing that escaped. So by solving it she loses her power again. That creates tension as the girl has to save the world but that means turning into a normal girl again. Its simple, and effective, writing. Here they didnt set it up at all. They were like "ow fuck we gotta kill the magical powers" and did it this way. I first thought it was a joke and they would reknit him from a few strands at the end. But then everyone was sad about him being dead and I realised this was supposed to be an emotional moment. It just failed completely in its execution.

>You now remember all of the weekly threads and predictions
Good times.

>that time Australia saved Christmas
I want to go back.

I want to fuck Ryuuko, if you know what I mean.

This was the show that brought anime into the American mainstream, and for that I have nothing but spite and resentment. Kiss my dick, female Shadow.

>This was the show that brought anime into the American mainstream
Please tell me you don't actually believe this. Have you been watching anime for like 2 years or something?

You know what I meant. It brought along the most recent wave.

Fuck i remembered that thread.

I also remember this fucker stealing so many threads. Entire fucking threads of people posting all of their money until Trigger responded on Twitter.

KLK really needed a TTGL-like OVA to fix up all the inconsistencies, Trigger could probably even have pulled a crowdfunding due to the animu's western success.

>Senketsu burns up at the end
She literally fell to Earth from space, what else should have happened? Plus, it makes sense considering that Space Patrol Luluco reveals life fibers are flammable

>>put in a bunch of religious imagery that doesnt go anywhere (like her eye being the wheel of the hindus or something)
That was just the fanbase reading too far into things. You could be right though, I always got the feeling that the story was re-written halfway through production.

Pretty sure that was confirmed, the original plan called for Aikuro to be killed off and Ryuko be framed for his murder, leading to her fighting out of prison if I recall.

wow user, you're so smart for figuring that out.

Yeah I knew I'd heard that somewhere, it's been a long time. Would have been interesting to see how that played out.

They couldve just not done it and nobody wouldve batted an eye. After all teh shit that went down orbital reentry without any problems is peanuts

A lot is indeed 2deep4u reading. But I cant shake the feeling that even without the rewrite it was written on the fly. Like the writer had a concept of clothing pushing humanity and fanservice with transforming clothing but they had to start producing before he even put together a coherent story with those elements. So you end up with a lot of implications shown in the first episode never really getting used. A militarised school is a pretty interesting idea. In the end they just handwavered everything with super over the top shit that didnt go anywhere. Any script doctor couldve saved a lot of elements with minimal effort. Hell any random Sup Forumsnon couldve elevated it from a fun extreme adventure to something with a coherent story to keep you hooked.

Yeah, but Imaishi clearly wanted to make it his signature ending considering his last three major story projects all ended the same way

>tfw no qt ryuko tomboy gf
Feels really fucking bad man

5 years and the Nui is Mako theory is still getting reblogged on Tumblr

Sup Forums hates literally everything. Most of the people here don't even like anime. Same thing applies to Sup Forums

>you will never pick her up at 8
Why are we still here?

>tumblr in charge of not being populated by complete retards

Yeah but for example gurren lagan it was foreshadowed. Here it just kind of happened. Its fine if he burns up, I just wish it had some buildup.

Just to suffer?

>browsing pol during 2016 election
at least i got to witness the great meme war too, it was a fun ride

>Satsuki's toe
Holy shit, never noticed this.

>there isn't much point to watch it anymore
Disagree strongly with this. I only got round to watching it recently and I loved it.

>It's also one of the only shows that's had me smiling or laughing through almost the entire thing.
same for me, the grin i had on my face throughout the episodes, the show is so much fun, truly a miracle of the universe as well

As dumb as that theory sounds, Mao's choice of clothing in the last episode was kinda spooky.

we suffer just to come stronger out of it user

I liked it, I think people who dislike it look to deep into the story to be something more than what it was.

The entire plot was set up just to show off the colorful effects, massive settings/scale to the point of parody, and to get to know the characters. fan-service aside I really came back to watch the show every episode to see how it would top itself in terms of ridiculousness and style. The fights always got more and more intense, the humor got better as the show went on, and it does a good job with the drama and random sexual stuff thrown it without it being the main focus. For what it wanted to be, I think KLK did an amazing job, now that doesn't mean it's the best anime ever, but I think they executed on what they wanted to do very well. If i want a deep plot and some drama I'll watch the first half of death note.

Dosh posting was great

>TFW when Gamagori is still best boi 5 years later
Truly a testament to husbandos everywhere

And 2017?

Gabriel Dropout, Kemono Friends, Eromanga Sensei, LWA, or Boku no Hero

Any of those fit the bill

LWA's fanbase is worse than Boku no Hero, but I don't know about the rest.

Now that I think about it it probably could have worked best going the FLCL route and being a budget-condensed super-crazy ova in 5-6 episodes.
