KILL LA KILL ep15: it’s the asspocalypse! Run for your lives!!!
This episode was so good this week! *squeals!* Not only are we subjected to glowing nipples, epic displays of guts and GAR, and shown close to twenty minutes of non-stop chaos, but I finally get to see Nudist Beach pop up in earnest. And man, do they have some stupid, ugly mech designs. It’s absolutely hilarious! Read more…
KILL LA KILL ep13: the romance and murder of cloth
Alright! It’s back! KILL LA KILL is back! And I’m not going to waste a moment getting into it!
Despite anyone’s personal feelings, the world moves on. Ryuuko’s disasterous battle with Nui Harime has scarred her badly and she’s fully placed herself on the sidelines. While she sulks, Lady Satsuki has put Honnouji Academy into full war mode. It’s a military build up that would make any true American proud and tear up with pride. Read more…
KILL LA KILL ep12: your father was a dirtbag ninja, your rival is a dirtbag samurai, your nemesis is a dirtbag lolita, and your friend comes from a dirtbag family
How do I even encompass in words the groundswell of emotion that I was feeling watching this episode? It was equal parts hype and exposition, a battle of ideals and monsters. And even with all that was revealed, the most enticing part is what this episode foretells for the future. Read more…
KILL LA KILL ep11: oh no! It’s a loli!
Ryuuko’s fight with Nonon continues in this episode, and here we see that she seems to truly be mastering Senketsu’s use. She defeats Nonon not once, but twice, and using the same technique more or less. The first part of the fight was resolved when she was able to use Senketsu’s Gale form to outmaneuver Nonon, and send one of her recorder missiles back at her. With Nonon grounded, everyone assumed the little tart wouldn’t be able to continue, but instead the Read more…
KILL LA KILL ep10: Prince Know-it-All & Princess Death-from-Above
You know I was about to say that this was the most disappointing episode of the series so far for me, but I jumped the gun a bit. This definitely a transitional episode with much more insanity waiting. And to say that I’m disappointed is to show how spoiled I’ve become by the previous episodes. Gifted with the exquisite violence and perviness, there’s nothing more you could ask from this show. It’s doing its damnedest to entertain. I really shouldn’t be complaining when I can experience the joy of watching high schoolers fight to death for love, revenge and the right to wear fancy swagalious uniforms. Try finding that on Netflix! Read more…
KILL LA KILL ep9: the Double Standard of Stripper Gear versus Gimp Suits
The grandest of displays of resolve can turn into mere arrogance at the drop of a hat. That I suppose is the lesson to be learned from this episode. Though regardless of the results, I will say I’m impressed by the sheer will of a man to take such punishment on willingly. I just wish he’d keep that kinkiness to his own private bedroom. Read more…
KILL LA KILL eps 7 & 8: you’ll never be satisfied with mere victory and happiness.
My deepest apologies for the hold up. Even one week without anime is too long. And I’m not wasting any time getting back in the saddle and catching up. And there’s no better show out right now to motivate me and imbue me with the energy to watch a “butt-ton” of anime than KILL LA KILL. Let’s do this! Read more…
KILL LA KILL ep4: sometimes I just want to watch a good cartoon.
It doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t have to have a point. And no message is necessarily required. When do these rules apply? When all a show sets out to do is entertain me and make me laugh. Read more…
Check-in Station: KILL LA KILL ep1 (this is so good I’m embarrassed, or is it that outfit?)
KILL LA KILL ep1 is AWESOME! I’m getting a very hype, very feel-good mix of GURREN LAGANN, Tenjou Tenghe and every revenge story ever told. It isn’t about the story, it’s about the emotions. The pure excitement that came from watching this episode. I can’t hold it in anymore-! AAAAAH! Read more…
