Yeah, we'll have to wait a few episodes then. Gurren Lagann really picked up steam here around maybe episode 4.

Episode 8 for me.

Kill la Kill has a better chance than Little Witch Academia, certainly though. I saw some people claiming that in other areas, but I don't agree that it can be some major boom for them in that way.

I was actually thinking the same thing. But where does the need for blood come? Will that eventually be her major draw back? we didn't see her back in normal-form, so I guess we can't say if it makes her exhausted or anything.

Why not? Many people at this point consider Gainax a joke anyway. Without all the talent that went out of it, they didn't do anything worthy anymore - only Medaka Box which I hear was rather bad. If the guys felt like they were good enough on their own to found a studio... well, they may be taking risks, but they must be most definitely calculated ones. And they'll have to put everything into this one anime. If it hits, I'm pretty sure they will basically replace Gainax in many hearts. After all, it's the people, not the name, that makes the studio.

Calling it now: Suit is the REAL bad guy

So are the female villains gonna get stripped naked too when they're beaten?

~ Motoko Chan ~ · 2013-10-08, 11:27

Haven't watched the first episode yet but just chiming in here to say "Hello!" and that I've REALLY been looking forward to Kill la Kill. Was re-watching TTGL recently and getting all excited all over again for more from Imaishi-san and co.

Now to find some free time from this pesky thing called college to watch the freakin' show!

It would be a crime if they didn't!

You think so? Might be as far-fetched as that, but his voice really says otherwise.

I said "once commanded". Gainax is currently a dreg, but at it's heights it was the bona fide leader of the anime industry. I am not wondering if it can surpass current Gainax, but I am wondering if it will slowly fade into decline, or if it will reach some of the peaks Gainax once commanded.

Hello! This is Tatsuru from studio TRIGGER once again!
How did everyone enjoy the first episode of KILL la KILL?
I sure did, I'm even confident that I enjoyed it more than you guys!
The action scenes were firm, the characters cute....

Especially the main character, Ryuko!
She appears to be a rowdy tomboy-ish character, but....

Yes, she is blushing like no other when she is harrased by Senketsu!
I just simply love these kind of gaps! (laughs)

Alright, a little bit more serious here. I don't want you guys to think I'm just a perv now. Since Higuchi was talking about the Showa period anime, I would like to introduce a frame with the "Harmony" process applied.
The screen capture posted above is an example of a "Harmony"
Sadly, I wont go into details since it is out of my expertise, but it is a frame that is colored and completed by the background artist. It is a style of process that was popular in the older anime series. Some of you older folks might find these cut a bit nostaligic.
That'll be it for this week! Don't miss out on the next episode of KILL la KILL since it only gets better with every episode!

ZabiLegacy · 2013-10-08, 14:17

Do you know who drew those?

ACertainStark · 2013-10-08, 14:26

Nope. I wish danbooru listed the exact artist. I can only assume it was one of the animation directors? or sushio.

I personally hope so. Shows have been looking way too similar lately (Shaft aside) with almost everyone moving to a small set of styles that seem to be safe bets. Triggers stuff so far has been completely outside of that with an aesthetic that can only be compared to old school Gainax craziness and that's a good thing to have back in this industry. I for one hope that Kill la Kill works out and triggers* a bit of a run to get more visually distinct stuff out.

* pun 100% intended

All American Autor · 2013-10-08, 17:31

Thanks for the sig and avatar guys.

I personally love how Ryuko just chomps down on a lemon at the beginning like it was nothing. And that voice of hers just enthralls me.

"Lately"? That's more like the history of anime

Unfortunately for every show that is truly special there are always 50 that are mediocre crap. But such are the tastes of the people that watch anime.

The fall of studios like Gainax and Gonzo have struck quite a large blow to variety these last few years but that's just my opinion and probably something that would be better discussed on a different thread. :-)

neshru · 2013-10-08, 18:32

The fall of Gainax? Trigger is Gainax

And I think Gonzo has always been a D-level studio, both in the past and now. I don't think anyone really cares what goes on with them...

ZabiLegacy · 2013-10-08, 18:44

I'll agree with that idea. Losing Gainax was a truly horrible thing for the anime industry, since they kept the entire industry challenged. Without many major experimental large studios, the industry had a bit of decline. The presence of trigger is very encouraging.

As for whether Trigger is Gainax? To say they have nothing to do with them, would be silly, but are they Gainax reincarnated? No, not really they are their own thing. Also, the EVA team broke off and formed their own studio awhile back.

They have there own liberty to do things this way. I doubt they very much want to be Gainax reincarnated.

Funkatron Highly irregular Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Dallas, TX Age: 41	Early theory, if it already hasn't been speculated: Spoiler: The threads that give the Goku uniforms their power are actually originally from the MC's sentient sailor fuku. Some time during the past, the threads were stolen/taken away to power the other suits, possibly to decrease the power of the original. Makes you wonder how powerful it will be if it gets all those threads back,.
