Kill La Kill Episode 8: “I Will Wipe My Own Tears"

Studio Trigger

Right off the bat this episode starts off with a bang, with a whole school free for all for 7 days, everyone and anyone is a target (who has a uniform). Some people have better protection them others (Satsuki Kiryuin). In no time the whole city is a war zone.

Ryuko takes this time to go back her house, to find answers. We get a flash back of how Ryuko father die and how she gets her scissor blade. They did not find anything and when back home. On their way back home they get into scooter trouble and meet Gamagoori and his new car. He gives Ryuko and Mako a ride to a gas station, but they get attacked by the automotive airsoft club. This is where we get tease about a 2^nd transformation and we get a flash back of Gamagoori and Satsuki. Gamagoori beat the club and gets Ryuko and Mako to a gas station.

Skip 7 days later and Satuki tells everyone that there will be 5 pillars and whoever gets to the top has a chance to beat her. Ryuko run up one easily and see that The Elite Fours got on each other pillar. Then we learn that Ryuko has to fight each one in a one on one fight starting with Gamagoori.

Awesomeness can’t wait for the next episode, will Ryuko have what it takes to beat Gamagoori and will she also have a 2^nd transformation, if so what will be the cost to get to this next level? More blood? less cloth?

See you guys next time

Kill La Kill Episode 7: “A Loser I Can’t Hate”

Studio Trigger

This episode was OK, with a great ending; this summary will be short too.

The episode starts off with Ryuko and Mako family eating dinner together.  Ryuko is happy to have a family to eat dinner with, because in the pass she always ate alone.

I don't think girls would sit like that. 

Skip to school, Ryuko is attacked by 3 club leaders and learn that if they beat more club leaders(or Ryuko) they go up in the schools ranks and live a better life. So Ryuko and Mako start a fight club and start beating up all of the schools club leaders. Life gets better with each fight. Mako and her family start to slowly drifting away. Ryuko noticed she was eating all alone again.

The next day Mako is in front of the Elite Four. Once Ryuko beat this next club leader they will be a part of the Elite Four. Once Ryuko makes it to the field, Ryuko tells Mako that she quits the club. This is where Satsuki tells, Mako to beat Ryuko and you will keep your new lifestyle and gives her a 2 star suit. Mako puts on the suit and goes all out against Ryuko. Ryuko did not fight back, because Mako is her friend. In the end Mako pick Ryuko over the better lifestyle.

In the end some people you can’t control with wealth and money. Things went back to normal very quickly.

On to episode 8 and i really cant wait for it. I truly believe that this episode will be awesome and shocking.

See you guys next time

Anime Recommendations: Golden Boy

By: Tetsuya Egawa

Studio: APPP

Total Episodes: 6

Runtime: 28 mins

For the month of November, I am going to recommend Golden Boy, a classic anime that I just watch recently and I enjoy it a lot. It is one of the funniest anime I have watched in a long time.

The story is focus on Kintarou Oe that travels around japan doing odd jobs. Each episode Kintarou has a new job in a new area, with a new love interest. The love interest is the best part of the show, because he is a perv at heart and always has funny results.

Personal I like this animation style. It’s very nostalgia too me. Kintarou is a good character, very enjoyable. The only problem I had with this show is its only 6 episodes long. I really want more of Golden boy, so i will be checking out the manga. The manga has 9 volumes. you can not buy the manga anywhere.

Kill La Kill Episode 6: Don’t Toy Me On a Whim

Studio Trigger

Another great episode of Kill la Kill, with the main focus on one of the Elite Four. Mako only got like 20 seconds of time this episode too.

The episode starts off with Ryuko trying to get information from Mikisugi, because he knows who Kinagase is. He tells Ryuko that he is a nudist beach that is the name of the organization. Ryuko does not believe him and leaves.

We get some information that Satsuki has order more life fibres and has been making more uniforms.  We get a glimpse of her mother. We also get a flash back of Satsuki 3 years ago before she took over the Honnouji Academy and the Elite Four was the team that help her take over the school. This was my favourite part of the episode and I hope we get more information on how Satsuki takes over the academy.

The main focus of this episode was on Uzu Sanageyama. He asks Satsuki if he could challenge Ryuko, she said “yes”. The next day Uzu goes head to head with Ryuko and Ryuko owns him, pretty easily too. Ryuko got a big piece of Life Fiber. Uzu after facing this lost, he knew why he lost and fixes this weakness. This was very cool. Uzu ask Satsuki if he can fight Ryuko again, she said “yes”. We go to fight number 2 where Uzu beat Ryuko so badly, and the only way Ryuko got away was because of Uzu Goku’s uniform could not keep up with Uzu new found strength and overheated.

Ryuko now with this lost, Ryuko decides to find out what was her dad researching and that is how the episodes end. the fights very well done and i like Uzu Goku's uniform. They made this Uzu character very interesting and one of my favorite characters so far.

Kill La Kill Episode 5: Trigger

Studio Trigger

There are two useful pieces of information you need to know about Mako.

One: she will always take a beating

Two: she will always has a speech in each episode.

I like this episode, we got a lot of information and we finally meet that guy from the opening. The episode starts off with Tsumugu Kinagase coming to Honnouji Academy to take out Senketsu. Once Kinagase makes it to the school he has to fight a two star Goku uniform and he beat it pretty easy. Kinagase uses a sewing gun that fires needles that slow down Goku uniform.

Ryuko at this time is save Mako again from another club we see that Ryuko is beating these guys pretty easily and she is getting stronger with each fight. This is where Kinagase attack Ryuko and Mako. He freezes Mako so she won’t get hurt and beat Ryuko. The only reason why he stops his attack is because of the homeroom teacher. Kinagase tell Ryuko he will be backing tomorrow form the suit.

Kinagase meets with the homeroom teacher and we learn that he is a nudist (I’m guessing its group of people that don’t want to use the life fibers). He does not use a goku uniform. He lost someone to the goku uniform and does not trust them ever since.

This is the first time one of the four elites will be trying to take out Kinagase and Ryuko. She sends out 3 clubs to take them out.  This leads to an all-out fight with Ryuko taking a beating, mostly because of Kinagase. The episode really gets good once Kinagase pushes Ryuko too her limit and get her into a corner. Senketsu tries to protect Ryuko and because of this, he changes Kinagase mind and save the day. We see Ryuko and Senketsu bond getting stronger. We also see Kinagase leaving. We all know he will come back, we just don’t know when. I’m guessing episode 8.

This got me thinking, do you think we will get a Gurren Lagann Episode 8 in Kill La kill. it would be awesome if they do something crazy in episode 8 and whatever anime they are working on they always make episode 8 something crazy and memorable. 

See you next week

Kill La Kill Episode 4: Dawn of Miserable Morning

Studio Trigger

This was a very fun episode of Kill La Kill. The animation could have been better and very weird at times, but it worked. This episode is very simple Ryuko and Mako has to get to their homeroom class before 8:30 or else they are expelled. The only problem is that the whole town is full of traps, slowing down all of the students.

The episode starts off with Senketsu getting clean and it looks like he is in pain, for the most part. Ryuko has to go to school without Senketsu.  Once Senketsu is clean Mako’s dad, brother and dog will bring it to Ryuko.

Ryuko and Mako as they are making their way through the town they meet Maiko, a girl that is hurt and wants to get to school too. Maiko joins Ryuko and Mako as they try to get to school. They become friends, until Maiko reveals her true motives.  When Maiko does, this we learn two things Senketsu won’t hurt Ryuko and Gamagoori is loyal to Satsuki.

I like Maiko and I hope we see her again, she is a good character.

Breastfeeding women, sure why not? i just had to point this out, just like the dogs banging in episode 2.

My favorite moment of the episode is Gamagoori on the cable car, it just kills me every time.

see you guys next time.

Kill La Kill Episode 3: Junketsu

Studio Trigger

I just want to say thank you to Studio Trigger for making this anime. I love this episode it was unreal! Just this episode alone, I am buying series once it could out in the USA.

We find out that Satsuki has a Goku uniform just like Ryuko. These uniforms are called Kamui. She put it on for the first time. Satsuki Kamui is called Junketsu and it has 2 eyes. Now Satsuki is ready for Ryuko tomorrow.

 We skip to Ryuko that following around Mikisugi, because she want information from him. They do meet and we learn about connect between him and Ryuko’s father. Mikisugi played the role of the person to make sure Ryuko gets Senketsu. Mikisugi worked with Ryuko’s father. Mikisugi also talks about the Life fiber and how much are in each level of suits. The more Life fibers the suits have the stronger they are. Now we skip to the sewing club trying to make a 5 star suit. the suit fails because they person wearing the suit can not control it. I believe this part will be important later.

Now we skip to the next day where Satsuki is waiting for Ryuko. This is where we get an awesome battle between the two characters. The point of this fight was to show Ryuko that she was wearing Senketsu wrong, because she has to be naked first. This is where we got a new transformation from Ryuko and where the fight real did remind me of Gurren Lagann, Ryuko keep pushing her limits and getting stronger. Satsuki after see Ryuko true power, she calls it a day. Then tell Ryuko if she wants to fight her she has to go through the whole school to get to her, because starting tomorrow. The students will be going after her.

So the next episode sounds awesome. I can’t wait but there one think after watching the opening again, who is this guy??? 

See you next week
