  • Blood sucking uniforms, a ball of yarn that's trying to destroy the world, and a school run by Nazis living in an evil castle. It's pure insanity, and that's why we all love it.
    Next review will be on a fantasy anime.

    I honestly thought the show got better as it went on. When the over the top stuff with the school was kinda getting old a little bit, that was when it got more serious and plot driven and MAAAAAAN I was invested and intrigued at that point. If I remember correctly, the final battle wasn't really that long. If you're talking about the lead up to it, ok I can see that. Overall it is one of the best anime that I've seen and probably still will be. Like you said, it's no Fullmetal Alchemist or Death Note but it's a damn good series.

    I got the Kill la Kill IF game today and the fact you uploaded this video as well is one of funniest coincidences I’ve had recently. I know Kill la Kill isn’t for everyone but it’s still a damn good show. Hopefully you review Gurren Lagann one day Shadow I think the issues you mentioned in Kill la Kill wouldn’t bother you to much in that show.

    found out about kill la kill a few months ago. i disagree with a lot of what you said. i feel that the show gets better as it goes on because the political doublespeak gets revealed and everything you thought was wacky, random, or bizarre gets fully realized in a meaningful lifechanging statement.
    It had to be about saving the world because if you don't stop nazis you are dooming it.

    Hey bro I was a big fan in middle school. You slowed down on post but I check up on you still. You appreciate good anime stories. I was wondering if you will ever review Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Parasyte: The Maxim? I know you said in an old video you couldn't handle the body horror of Parasyte but seriously it's so good.

    As much as I liked Kill la Kill, one thing that bugged me was the constant plot twists,
    which come across as contradictions than anything else.
    For example: Satsuki - I wanna rule the school with an iron fist.
    Satsuki a few episodes later - My real plan was to conquer all the neighbouring schools.
    Satsuki a few more episodes later - My real plan was to lure out nudist beach.
    Satsuki again - My real plan was to kill my mother.
    Me: Okay seriously! can you stop contradicting yourself and make up your F***n mind already!
    Also, Nui and Ragyo pissed me off to no end.

    The point of the show is not just to be over the top. It's actually a *very* overt commentary on fascism and growing up especially in Japan. I can see how people can miss it since a lot of stuff will get lost in translation especially since kill la kill has many layers to it especially in visual metaphor. Every part of the anime has a purpose with the narrative in the fight against fascism.
    here's an example of a really good full analysis of this.

    Huh, I'm surprised you actually liked this one. Me personally, I couldn't get into it (although I do admit it is good). I think the biggest reason for that is it felt a bit too close to Gurren Lagann which, I believe was made my the same studio that made kill la kill (someone correct me in the comments if I'm wrong). To me, this anime was basically Gurren Lagann, but they traded the mechs for the fanservice. And honestly, if you thought the climax in this was over the top, Gurren Lagann's climax, at least to me, felt even more over the top.
    Still, glad you enjoyed this series. :)

    • @animegamingnerd
      @animegamingnerd 4 года назад

      You are kind of right, the the key staff like the director for Gurren Laggan at Gainax went to form Studio Trigger and make Kill La Kill over there.

  • @bivisbuns
    @bivisbuns 4 года назад +1

    Smoothbrained take, it's not the anime refusing to take itself seriously, it's you being unable to take it seriously. There are a ton of deep themes in KLK woven into (no pun intended) the absurdity

    Not trying to be too critical, but I think you kinda missed the point of a lot of kill la kill. It's not just trying to be over the top and stupid, it's trying to give a message about society, and the way we let clothes have power over us, and what are clothes represent for us. Great video tho
