Anime Review 11 Kill La Kill

Studio Gainax has a survival story, despite having humble beginnings during the early 90s economic crisis the studio has produced one of the most iconic anime ever made Neon Genesis Evangelion. That show took the world by storm due to how iconic and unique it was compared to most anime from the time. They also did other iconic hits like Gurren Lagann, FLCL and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt however it came at a massive cost which ultimately led them to their death. Despite Gainax making lots of projects between EOE and Gurren Lagann, none of them were successful.

Sure FLCL and His and Hers Circumstances would gain a cult following over the years, but the majority of shows were failures and often placed in bargain bins in both Japan. Gainax’s survival story in the industry would end when director Hiroyuki Imaishi and several talented staff left Gainax to form Studio Trigger. The studio would make some of the most beloved and controversial anime out there. This was a massive blow to Studio Gainax, which led them to be on life support, eventually turned off in 2015 after the decent but unsuccessful Wish Upon the Pleiades ended.

This tragic death of Studio Gainax is the core reason why I appreciate and love Studio Trigger’s first TV anime Kill La Kill.

What could have been a Gurren Lagann clone turned out to be a massive love letter to Studio Gainax at their glory days and a fun, compelling and well-written show for the most part.

Usually, in my reviews, I would go over the show’s strengths first, but Kill la Kill is one of the few cases where I wanted to go over the show’s weaknesses first as they can be massive deal-breakers to some.

To begin with, Kill la Kill is one of those show’s that the staff didn’t plan the entirety of the story. Certain plot points and themes are dropped in favour of others without warning. I won’t say which ones were dropped due to spoilers, but it can be an annoying aside as a couple of plot points that were dropped were actually more interesting than the ones that the show decided to end up focus. I wouldn’t say that this show has an identity crisis like Darling in the Franxx, The Rising of the Shield Hero and most Yu-Gi-Oh instalments, but I felt like the show at times bit more it can chew, especially towards the middle.

This problem also leads up to my biggest problem with Kill La Kill the pacing. Dear lord, the pacing. Sometimes episodes flew right by then others episodes just dragged on overstaying their welcome. I also felt like Kill la Kill could have been a couple of episodes as some of them felt like filler that doesn’t offer much substance to the plot. Then Trigger works are known to have pacing issues that effectively plagued them barring Little Witch Academia TV which was mostly immune to Trigger’s pacing issues.

Now I’m done pointing out its flaws. Let’s go its positive aspects as there’s a lot which more than overshadows the negatives that I pointed out.

Even though Kill La Kill story is over a top studio the show has a strong sense of self-awareness. The show is dumb, but the show knows it and I admire it. Almost every episode is entertaining to watch including the non-plot episodes like 4 and 7. Writing quality ranges from good to excellent with very few mediocre writing moments.

Lastly, while not the best executed at times, I really dug into Kill La Kill themes and topics. It deals with the themes of rulership, clothing, siblings, poverty, loyalty and revenge completely well.

The character cast is the soul of Kill La Kill.

They are fun, interesting and well written for the most part.

Our main lead Ryuko is one of the better examples to write a revenge lead to an extent.

I like her determined and punk attitude that she delivers, I mostly sympathise with her reasons for wanting revenge, and I liked her overall character development where after key events she opens up to people and puts her mindless revenge aside to help others.

With that said, however, she does have her faults. For one she can be unbearable to listen at times truly showcased in her more bitchy moments she’s just talking crap to people for the sake of it. It can be super annoying to listen to, especially when some characters are on the right.

Another issue I have with her is that the show doesn’t do anything new with her character archetype. To the show credit, she’s much better than Season 1 Eren, Shadow and Yusuku, but it doesn’t mean at the end of the day.

The third and biggest problem I have with Ryuko is that while I enjoyed her sympathetic revenge tale she gets overshadowed by various characters due to them having more believable and sympathetic goals. In the beginning, I was rooting for Ryuko but as the show went on I ended up rooting for Satsuki and the Elite Four members especially when their backstories and true motivations are revealed. Making Ryuko less sympathetic overall and at times comes off as a raging villain.

Overall while I enjoyed Ryoko, but I felt she could have been a lot better.

My favourite main character in Kill la Kill is Satsuki. I just found her to be an absolute joy to watch from beginning to end. Her mysterious goals are very admirable, and shes was the character that I sympathise with the most due to her fascinating backstory. She’s the character that is filled with rebellious energy and if you cross her ideals she will make you play.

Now we have the most diverse character in the show Mao. You either love her or hate her. I cannot for the life of me stand her. I understand she was meant to be this annoying comic relief sidekick for Ryuuko that was meant to keep Kill La Kill from being too serious, but she often got on my nerves. Outside of some good moments which I won’t mention due to spoilers I found her generally unpleasant especially when she spends half of the show either being stupid or screaming with little to no character growth.

Lastly, she is an immersion breaker where she literally comes in during highly serious and intense and does her over the top crap. Effectively being the main cause of the show’s pacing issues at various points.

I can see why people would like Mao as a character, but for me, she hinders the show more than helps it, making her my second least favourite character in the show.

Lastly, we have Senketsu and to be frankly honestly he’s boring. Outside of being this over the top personality that contrasts Ryuuko’s ruthless punk personality. He isn’t much of a character. More of a plot device if anything. I don’t hate him, like Mao, but I don’t care for him all that much.

Kill la Kill has a decent amount of colourful side characters that were fun to watch, however many of the characters fall into the spoiler territory and I don’t want to spoil them, so instead I’m only going to talk about the Elite 4 as I have a lot to say about them.

First, we have the Elite four and outside of one member I love them.

Gamagoori is my third favourite character in the show. He was just a joy to watch in every scene that he’s in. I also enjoy his backstory as well as his masochist personality.

Sanageyama may not have the same energy as Gamagoori and Nonon, but he was still an entertaining character to watch. I enjoyed his high loyalty to Satsuki, even going as far as blinding himself to prove that he can defeat Ryuko by combining his Goku uniform.

Nonon is my favourite elite four members as well as my favourite character in Kill La Kill. From her sassy personality where she often teases and mock fellow elite members to her badass scenes I adored every single second of her. I like her backstory it was revealed that she was Sasuki’s childhood friend and her battle with Ryuko was the best and most creative out of the elite 4 battles.

Finally, we have the final elite four members as well as the worst character in the show Inumuta. Seriously, what were the writers thinking when they made this character? He’s boring as hell and has zero personality. Furthermore, he just comes off as a generic geek character. Outside of his role as an elite four member, you could literally take him out of the story and the story wouldn’t have changed much.

Despite my complaints with Inumuta, I still love the elite four. They brought an interesting dynamic to the show by being good people at heart while under the ring of Satsuki. They don’t have a grudge against someone unless they break the rules or try to destroy Satsuki’s kingdom in the case of Ryuko. Honestly, it’s refreshing as I’ve seen similar shows to this where the henchmen of the leader are just one-dimensional psychopaths with no personality and substance.

There’s also Ryuko teacher as well as Mao’s family.

They were entertaining characters to watch especially Mao’s family as I prefer them over Mao.

Kill la Kill has a good character cast, but I prefer the side characters more than the main cast

Kill la Kill’s production values are all over the place.

Produced by Studio Trigger which also did Brand New Animal, Promare, SSSS Gridman, Little Witch Academia and Darling in the Fraxx with the collaboration of Cloverworks.

At times the show is a technical masterpiece with impressive visual direction, smooth animation, outstanding fight choreography and phenomenal character design for the more important characters, but at the same time, you can tell that the show was on a tight budget, unlike Gurren Lagann.

Notable animation shortcuts. It has a frequent amount of stock footage, and the show can just look unfinished at times. For some shows like Arifuieta, Fate Stay Night 2006 and Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains these would be massive deal breakers, but I feel like Kill La Kill has charm given that it is a love letter to Studio Gainax at its core.

Kill la Kill’s soundtrack was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, the same composer that did the soundtracks for Aldonah Zero, Guilty Crown, Attack On Titan and 86. This is easily Hiroyuki’s best soundtrack that he has done. I feel like his music style fits well with Kill la Kill, better than the other soundtracks that he has done, especially Attack On Titan. The tracks are filled with a variety of music genres that complement and enhance any scene whenever it’s drama, comedy and to high intense drama. It is the soundtrack that is filled with suspense and energy and I love it.

The two opening themes are excellent. Both give the energy and excitement that I expect, especially the first opening theme and they have nice opening visuals to boot.

The same can’t be said for ending themes. The first ending theme was decently catchy, but nothing too special, but the second ending theme is horrible. Not only the song was uninspired, but just like Mao herself, it breaks immersion.

The English dub for Kill la Kill is fantastic. Produced by BangZoom Entertainment the same people that did the dubs for Gurren Lagann, Haruhi Suzuilyma and Hunter x Hunter 2011 The dub is filled with energy and charm. The voice actors did an excellent job voicing their respective characters.

Best performances go to Sarah Williams as Nonon, Grant George as Sanageyama, Carrie Kreanen as Satsuki, and Erica Mendez as Ryuuko.

In conclusion Kill La Kill is all over the place. It has a lot of energy and has a lot of brilliant ideas, but it also suffers from pacing issues as well the lack of story planning in the first half.

It has a lot of entertaining and interesting characters especially on the side cast, but the main cast excluding Satsuki isn’t as great as the side cast. I can’t get over Mao’s mood tonal breaking moments as well Ryuuko’s bitchy moments. The visuals can be very polished and feature some impressive fight chrophy/direction scale however just like several Gainax shows from the past it can look incredibly cheap.

In short Kill la Kill is a mess yet despite that I still end up loving Kill La Kill. It may not be as brilliant as its spiritual older brother Gurren Lagann, but it’s still a worthwhile spiritual successor that is filled with heart and soul.

To top it all, Kill La Kill has one thing that many modern animes lack. Fun

Many series that I’ve seen in recent years try to take them way too seriously or have interesting ideas, but didn’t know what to do with them causing them utter disappointments, but these anime’s don’t know how to have fun.

Kill La Kill is many things but it isn’t dull, it’s fun and it knows it and that’s as well many others. I believe that Kill La Kill is a worthwhile anime classic.

  The Full Moon is often considered the most powerful phase for magic and is associated with abundance, clarity, and manifestation. It is a time for spellcasting, divination, and spiritual awakening. After the Full Moon, the moon begins to wane, entering the Waning Gibbous phase, which is a time for letting go and releasing what no longer serves. The Third Quarter Moon represents evaluation and reflection, as well as banishing and breaking bad habits. The Waning Crescent is the final phase before the New Moon, and it is a time for rest, reflection, and preparing for the next cycle. The primer also provides tips and advice for working with the lunar phases in spellcasting. It suggests that practitioners set their intentions during the New Moon and use the following weeks to gather energy and take action. Spells performed during the Full Moon are believed to be especially potent, so it is recommended to focus on manifestation and abundance during this time. Additionally, the primer explains the importance of aligning spells with personal intentions and desires. It encourages practitioners to connect with the moon's energy and to trust their intuition when crafting spells. The primer also emphasizes the importance of proper planning and preparation, as well as respecting the natural ebb and flow of the lunar cycle. In conclusion, the lunar phase spell primer serves as a guide for spellcasters looking to harness the unique energies of the moon's phases. By aligning spells with the corresponding lunar phase, practitioners believe they can enhance the effectiveness of their magic and manifest their intentions more powerfully..
