Kill La Kill Episode 1: If Only I Had Thorns Like a Thistle

Studio Trigger




Kamina’s spirit reborn.   That what comes to mind as I watch the first episode of Kill la Kill. Ryuko reminds me of Kamina just madder. Overall I did like this anime and I thought it was funny.  I like how the animation reflects Gurren Lagann and they try to have a Grant scale as Gurren Lagann.  They did make an interesting world for the most part.

The story is pretty simple, it’s a revenge story.  Ryuko Matio lost her father from an unknown killer. The Killer took half of a scissor blade and she has the other half. This leads her to the Honnoji Academy where we meet most of the cast.  As the story goes on Ryuko Matio, believes the person that has the other scissor blade is Satsuk Kiryuin the Student council president.

The powers in Kill la Kill are not from weapons or mechs, but from Uniforms called Goku.  Very original idea and I got into it. The Uniforms the broken down to 3 star levels the more stars a Uniforms has the stronger the uniforms is.  You could say it the uniforms are just like the mechs in Gurren Lagann, and the main character has a special one. Matio’s uniforms did look like it absorbs the loser uniform at the end of the fight.

Points
The villain structure was much like Gurren Lagann, Leader 4 generals and army, just in a school theme.
The fight of overall well done, and awesome.
I did not like Mako, she talk too much and way too fast.
Matio’s Goku transform into a very skimpy sailor suit, I guess all anime need some kind of fan services.
Is the homeroom teacher a friend of Matio father?

I like this episode and I can’t wait for the next one.

See guys next time,
