    I'm not particularly upset, I'm more in awe of the fact that you think acting like a retard is funny this is the random images thread, post random images, not your stupid little joke spoiler that no one is laughing at, or your EPIC overused memes

    There really should be a "request a nega-rep" button or something, since the mods use the nega-rep somewhat liberally anyways.

    Anime General Discussion

    Alright look. Obviously I can't sit here and say whether you will like Kill la Kill or not, who knows until you've seen it. With that being said, there are a few key notes that you should be aware of when watching KLK. It is created by Studio Trigger, an off-spring of staff from Gainax, more specifically, it's the people who spearheaded Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Same director, same writer, same animators. It is VERY similar to TTGL in many ways. If you did not enjoy TTGL, chances are you won't enjoy this. Kill la Kill is a parody anime, exactly like TTGL. It takes the tropes of Shounen battle-anime and blow them completely and utterly out of proportion. It ends up becoming extremely ridiculous. Included in this list of tropes is fanservice, which is why the general amount of fanservice in this anime is completely insane. Kill la Kill was created on a shoe-string budget. It is the first TV production of Studio Trigger (Prior works being Inferno Cop and Little Witch Academia, both of which were straight to video). At times, the fact that they were a bit starved for money becomes extremely apparent. Those are the facts. What comes next is my subjective opinion, which will include bias. I heavily disliked Kill la Kill. I loved TTGL, but KLK was not my cup of tea. It's obvious within the first three episodes that the anime is taking the piss, to put it bluntly. Initially, I found that to be quite amusing, as the extreme exaggerations of shounen tropes are very apparent and honestly? It's pretty funny. Unfortunately, it never ends. At some point I realized that I was having a really hard time discerning what was supposed to be a parody and what was supposed to be actually serious and relevant to the plot. The anime ends up wading around in uninteresting plot points, half of which are never really resolved or are really pointless. The fanservice was also very uncomfortable for me to watch. I've been watching anime for a couple of years now. I know what anime is like, I understand that fanservice is a thing. Normally I can see past it, but the level of fanservice in Kill la Kill went from being slightly amusing to being genuinely disturbing within the first half of the show. I found the "humour" to become really stale within the first 8 episodes, I found the plotline to be extremely contrived, which I guess it was supposed to be (What with the whole "It's a parody!" thing), but actually doing something and then calling it a parody doesn't change the fact that it is still as bad as it would normally be, even if it IS a parody. Overall, the anime just ended up annoying me. Near the end, I was having an extremely hard time getting myself to watch it... Truthfully, the only reason I finished it, was because I had already invested so much time in it, plus I was watching it as it aired. I don't think I could ever marathon that series... Ever. It's not all bad though, I personally really enjoyed the artstyle and some of the character designs, not to mention that music is fucking AMAZING (It's Hiroyuki Sawano, who did music for Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist, Guilty Crown and Aldnoah Zero as well). Seriously, even if you end up ditching the show. Listen to the soundtrack. It's a bit alternative at times, but I really appreciate it, even though I dislike the actual anime.

    Welcome to SPUFPowered.

    I need to make one of these, but instead of advice it's just screaming and the images are all of a small child weeping in the light of a dying sun.
