| I have a feeling that they are purposefully making the fan-service increasingly obnoxious and out of place, in an attempt to make the viewers uncomfortable with the concept of fan-service. I don't know why, but that would explain the incredibly awkward and unflattering choices of camera angles. I could be way off the mark. |

| By far the best episode so far |

I wish this was true, but in reality I think it just goes with the whole "over the top" theme this show has. Honestly it's pretty annoying to me, but Kill la Kill has been otherwise really awesome so I'm just tolerating it for now. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| I wish they weren't fighting in those outfits. I'd like the fight a lot more if it were the case. |
OGHelios said: Yeah, it seems that most people (including me) find it either annoying or unnecessary. Oh well. Hopefully it'll prove to serve some sort of higher purpose.Araby said: I wish this was true, but in reality I think it just goes with the whole "over the top" theme this show has.

| As others have said, I feel the fan service is just so obnoxious its hurting the show.It definetly lessens my enjoyment to some extent and I'm fucking in love with this style of crazy art/ action / words. I can only hope it gets set aside for a hidden deeper story. Something I always wished FLCL would have continued so we could find out all the crazy fucking stuff they talked about. |

fdsfgs said: Eh, yeah. That's a good point, but it's not exactly deep enough to justify boobs awkwardly flopping about (for me, at least). To quote what I said in another thread: fdsfgs said: Honestly, the utilization of the full powers of a Kamui/Godrobe was pretty metaphorical for "You won't realize your full potential if you don't ever fully accept who you are and not be ashamed of it." I mean, it was spelled out pretty clearly in the latest episode, and IMO you'd have to be pretty blind not to see it. Regardless, this is the first time that I've ever seen fanservice be used as a philosophical metaphor, and I can't really hate the fanservice as much after seeing said utilization. |

| I don't like fan-service as much as the next guy but people really like to bitch about it everywhere. At the very least it served some purpose and contributed to a plot element, it also meshes well with the over the top everything. |
 |
| Though really I don't mind them fighting in sexy outfits whatsoever, its just that the current ones are obnoxious is all. Leave something to the imagination. |

| That's not talking about something, that's just complaining. Complaining = Bitching. It's just stupid for this anime to receive a lower rating and reception do to something as petty as fan-service. > I can't take it seriously because of the fan-service Nigga pls. |
|
| "I have to get even more naked" <-- This show basically lost one point from me when she said that. Still entertaining, but it just doesn't make sense anymore. Yeah, like the others have said: The fanservice is getting old and unnecessary. |

I would totally give this anime a 8 but the boobs ruin it for me, I'm giving it a 6. |

tsudecimo said: Petty, lol. The uniforms are an integral part of the show...It's just stupid for this anime to receive a lower rating and reception do to something as petty as fan-service. Edit: It doesn't even bother me that much, by the way (don't want you to get me wrong). I just think fan-service is a perfectly legitimate reason for someone to enjoy the show less, given how prominent it is. Not everyone enjoys multiple vagina close-ups, even if they do serve artistic purpose, and that's fine. |

| Rewatched a few times. Random thoughts Satsuki running up the wall could've been animated so much cooler, they opted for CG and made it look goofy as hell Also noticed the moment Aikuro was ready to jump in to save Ryuko revealed that he's likely among the stronger characters Looking at Mako's face as she was poking Ryuko in her PJs. Seriously wtf? I lol'd at this dialogue mid-fight Ryuko: "The way you talk pisses me off!" Satsuki: "That's totally fine with me!" The way she talks is hilarious though Satsuki's bare ass probably the best thing about this ep And didn't notice that the final clash during the fight caused an implosion mid explosion, and actually pulled in the random students before blasting them away again. Dem anime physics |

| The orchestral Don't Lose Your Way, just wow, simply amazing. Who cares about the fanservice when you have action like that. |

| I wonder how is Ryuuko going to lose starting from now seeing that her powers have grown :) |
 |
| GREAT battle scenes! Really the anime was very surprised to be a shounen, it was time that he saw something (since I stopped watching One Piece). I just hope the side of 'good' among more characters because, alone to fight everyone is half ... |

| You got 12 pages of comments with people who care. Of course, I'm one who enjoys it, so in the end, it's a win-win for me. To be honest I can sympathize cause I know people who are like 'Aw all anime is HENTAI,' and then it doesn't get taken seriously as a great show which it is. But at least the action, animation, music and story is top-notch and came with no compromise from what I seen. And that is what really matters in the end. |
| I wonder how many people will bitch about *fan-service* when they read Nagai Go's mangas. His works influenced this anime greatly. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| It's rare to see the main villain and the main hero fight in an epic battle of absurd proportions so early in the series. It seems like the sexier you get and the more revealing your outfit is....the stronger you get..... |
 |
| That fight felt so short. It felt like it lasted only 5 minutes. And then the ED started playing and i felt so annoyed :[ |
| I just feel like im watching a 70s/80s anime with crazy as flashy animation and transformation! god I love it! |
| Don't Lose Your Way >>>>> OP and ED Also this show might best be described as Gurren Lagann + Sailor Moon We'll see what happens with the plot, hopefully it's not going to turn into "Ryuko vs Honnouji student" every week. I'm hoping those history lessons given by the teacher, with all these allusions to Hitler and everything have some foreshadowing or something behind it. There could be some really dark undertones to this show... |
 |
| I think some of you people are trying way too hard to justify why the fan service is there in a vain hope to give meaning into things that don't have or need meaning. It's fanservice. It's the exact same thing as intense over the top violence in a grind film It doesn't NEED to have a higher purpose It's purpose is to entertain And if that doesn't entertain you or you can't ignore it then the show is probably not for you. Similar to how if a show with constant exploding heads and guts flying everywhere doesn't entertain you then that show is probably not for you. If you're trying to answer the question WHY to things that are purely there to entertain, be it bouncing bosoms, over the top dismemberment, explosions within explosions within explosions, giant robots throwing galaxies, main characters using their motorcycles as melee weapons, then I'm afraid you are probably in for disappointment. |
omegad94 said: Damn, I... I... words I can't describe how...... marvelous this episode is. 5/5 Nice to see the information of the Goku suits and the Kamui suits and how they work on it. Oh man the fight scenes were just.... mindblowing amazing as well as the animation of it. And now she is going to fight the entire school with all her might. I can't wait to see more of this, this probably my favorite anime of the fall season. Same here i just finished watching EP3 and OMG! that is one of a crazy epic fight. I can see Kill la Kill is one of the best anime in 2013 now. It's a pain to wait for the next episode though :( i really can't wait what will happen next!!! We are only on EP3 and it looks like we were watching the final episode of it lol. invazn said: Don't Lose Your Way >>>>> OP and ED You can say that again :P Epic fights need Epic songs |
 |
| this is 15/5 that fighting...so intense to the state I was sweating all over. I don't care about fan service anymore. Let's get rockin' !! |
| Your so-called peaceful world makes me bored, so don't blame me if I destroy all of it. - http://worldinverse.smackjeeves.com |
| OMG! Episode 3 is excellently awesome!!! |
 |
| I wonder how many KLK ep will be cause this is movie fast storytelling. Btw 5/5 so many old actions anime parody with awsome action battle! |
 |
| Hope Ryuuko beats up her father's killer and get the other half of the scissor blade :D Then she can use it as a double blade weapon or even a full scissor :) |
|
Shuhan said: The OST is amazing, really adds to the action, as does the fanservice. Yeah, I realty think so. But the fights are as amusing as they're epic as well. Like, the One Stars getting blasted around like leaves by the shock-waves, the fanservice all round, and the general over-dramatization. Pretty good combo. |
| I still have to laugh at the combination of the rough art and extreme fanservice, it ends up looking so unusual that it's just pure win. Loved the action in this episode - and it looks like we're finally going for the setup of Ryuuko fighting her way through the school to the top. Can't wait to see how that goes. Needless to say, I'm hooked! |
| Best Episode 3 of all time Its like the Ending Everyone was Flying and boom everywhere that was so awesome |
skudoops said: Dunno if anyone else here watches Gundam unicorn but did anyone notice the similarities between the song that play as 22:14 and the track Audrey from MSGU? http://youtu.be/eArGVXdutHI scroll to 50. It's Hiroyuki Sawano's style. He remix old works of his for his new projects and sometimes, they really look alike. |
|
| Phew, I somehow got through to the third episode. But as I expected I will drop it here. This show is just bad. |
| that was one of the most awesome battles i've ever seen, pretty great combo of fanservice, epic music & actions. Ryuuko & Satsuki, both are badasses to the core. p.s i'm waiting for the doujin |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
