The first episode of this anime was released today, and it actually lived up to all of the hype it got. Think of Gurren Lagann's crazyness, multiply it by ten and you've got Kill la Kill. Seriously watch it now and witness the beginning of a new classic. Watch it watch it watch it seriously guys watch it nooooow.

I am looking forward to Space Dandy more
And Samurai Flamensco
-
Oh yah, I've been seeing that girl on some forums. Only just heard about this though. Didn't know it was already running! I'll need to check this out.
Yeah, Space Dandy looks awesome. Hope it gets a Toonami run so we don't have to wait for the DVDs. What's Samurai Flamensco?

Ah. Why are you looking forward to it?

Yeah, Kill la Kill is so far so good. I'm just wondering what kind of story will unfold within 24 episodes?
-
Watching Hunter x Hunter. I'll try this.
-
I can't see this in the UK...it looks good.
-
That was the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen. What the hell was that? And I had no idea the villain in the background was a woman >_>
This'd be a great thing to watch dubbed. I keep missing so much of the gloriuos animation when reading the subs, and the thing can move so damn fast the dialogue is difficult to keep up with. XD

I'm someone who always watches her anime subbed and I have to agree, it is a bit hard to keep up with everything, but I don't mind it too much, I've pretty much trained myself to read and watch at the same time.
On another note
Ami Koshimizu does another excellent performance in this anime. She's my favorite Seiyuu.
-
The second episode does slow things down a bit, the crazyness is still there though. Also Mako is the best character.
-
Viewers during a screening of Episode 3 in Japan said that the next episode (for us) will be maximum crazy.
I can't wait for it.
-
No where to stream this for the UK then?

The voice acting in this show is great. Noboyuki Hiyama is a winner as usual with his OTT voice. Not super enthusiastic about some of the fanservice but I'm very likely going to watch this show throughout this season.
Had fun with FLCL and so far this is pretty good too.
-
So episode 3: god fucking damn.
-
If anyone likes this, Re: Cutie Honey is pretty much the same thing.
-
Only watched the first episode.
Why is it that anime have to show some tits to justify the show?
I understand fanservice, but it makes or breaks a compelling series for me.

Nudist Beach is a great name for the teacher's anti-Goku Uniform organization-thing.

Trust me, I have seen much, much worse in this regard. Off the top of my head:
-Ikkitousen (no plot, just girls in revealing outfits punching each other);
-Panty & Stocking (entire episodes devoted to sexual innuendo);
-Highschool of the Dead (zombie apocalypse with constant wardrobe malfunctions);
-
Has anyone checked out the most recent episode?
-
This show's really starting to heat up.
-
Best any ever? Damn, someone isn't watching Hunter x Hunter. I do admit that I have only seen the first episode of Kill La Kill, was turned totally off when they forced the lead character a slutty outfit.

Yeah, you have to be able to take the main character being almost naked for most of the episodes. However.

The same goes for characters of the opposite gender. :V
The show also has a mother sexually molesting her daughter, but that's supposed to be disturbing.
-
OK, I think I'll watch it. I got angry because they portrayed the girl as a tomboy and all of a sudden her power was to be in slutty clothing? I guess if everyone that uses the power goes slut-matic, I'm cool with that.
-
I suppose in a broader context, it's never entirely equal as there's generally more appeal to the audience for teenage girls being exposed, but yeah this happens to guys and girls. In the early episodes when the enemies are defeated, they lose their uniform, all of it.
-
How are we talking about characters getting naked without bringing up stupid sexy sensei?

Right, hold on, let me fix that.

There, fixed it.

I will watch it, I have a few of the episodes on my external HDD, just have to make time for them. I'm just really sad that there aren't many Hunter x Hunter 2011 anime fans on the net or even in real life (so many Bleach and other poorly written anime fans tho). That is literally the best Shōnen series made. Maybe when Adult Swim or whatever picks up a dub more people will care.
-
I enjoyed the first episode of Hunter X Hunter, but I haven't watched beyond that. One Piece is the only shonen I need in my life. I ought to watch a few more eps on Crunchyroll this spring break, though.

That's the issue, Hunter x Hunter is really great, like right after you get past the first two short arcs, its so well written that trying to catch up to One Piece is just cringe worthy. Yoshihiro Togashi's best manga, hands down.
-
I'd watch more of Hunter x Hunter if only I didn't feel so overwhelmed at how long it is. I've gotten a bit far in the manga, however, the libraries around me don't have any volumes of it...
-
Yeah, 117 episodes so far. Imagine my new mission to catch up to One Piece. So far, episode 115ish. I say watch HxH till the Phantom Troupes and if your not into the story, drop it.
That being said, I will be catching up to Kill La Kill this weekend. Will post feedback about what I think of the rest of series.
-
I tried watching One Piece not too long ago. I like the concept of the show a lot, but the pacing is just so slow that I stopped bothering. I much prefer anime like Cowboy Bebop and Kill la Kill that don't take multiple episodes just to show one fight. If anything, Kill la Kill probably has the shortest recap episode of any anime ever (spoilers, obviously):

-
Yeah, I agree. Also, the way that the characters ... interact during a fight was not well thought out. Its so bad that they sorta make fun it themselves. "Zoro is OP, lets make him get lost... Luffy is passed out for some reason" or the worse ones is when a character is standing like 10 feet from Luffy fighting, but his conversation continues as nothing happen, even tho it was focused on Luffy's fight for 2 episodes. So they stood there and continued the conversation.
That stuff bothers me.
That video is a great recap lol.
The new HxH does do the whole "multiple episodes" per fight and right now is doing the whole '3 mins is an episode', but outside of like 2 episodes, they have been pretty dense. As long as there is a ton of information, entertaining and isn't some dude screaming for 4-5 episodes, lets do it that obviously is killing time (Luffy randomly helping people during a arc... :/ )
-
Annnnd, somehow the new episode gets delayed on Crunchyroll... What's up, Aniplex and/or CR? Also, Bebop and Kill la Kill are original anime versus One Piece and HxH being adapted from weekly manga series, so of course they're gonna feel pretty different in terms of pacing.

I'd hardly call catching up on One Piece cringe worth. When I did that it was probably the best binge watching experience I've ever had. XD The only thing I really take issue with is that it takes several arcs to get really good. But as far as long running, manga adapted shonen, it's the best I've seen so far, and I only "so far" because I haven't seen much of Hunter X Hunter yet. Given that it's adapting a story that started 20 years ago, I expect the pacing in HxH to be damn good.
-
Outside of a few episodes (it has literally 2 filler episodes that recap an arc) its literally panel by panel of the manga, with great music and voice acting that knocks it out of the park. Also the animation is a lot better. Its cringe worthy when Luffy sits and goes "I AM GOING TO KICK THIS GUYS ASS" then for the next 10 episodes he wonders the desert with no direction...
I like some ideas, but compared to how HxH goes about it... hard to care about Baroque Works saga when its like 5x as long as the Phantom Troupe arc, but the Phantom Troupe is better paced, better characters and in the end you feel like it accomplished more. I say, if you had time for 600 episodes of One Piece, going through 58 episodes of HxH (which is the end of the Phantom Troupe stuff)
-
Guys stop talking about Hunter X Hunter geeze I mean some really big shit just happened in the last Kill la Kill. Like holy shit what the fuck is happening shit. Just. Holy shit.
-
Can't we have a different thread for discussing other major anime such as HxH?
-
That is the last of HxH, this is now a Kill la Kill only thread. Sorry for taking it outside its norm. Though honestly, we should have a anime thread for everything, but this was created for Kill La Kill and I can respect it. Surprised theres no Space Dandy thread yet.

I don't know if I said some bs about KLK at some point, whatever it is I take it back. It seems to do a good job of actually being a TV animation. I love the contrast, and how the characters are alive. The only problem I am having with this is the RIVAL SCHOOLS / VOLCANO HIGH rubbish. However when thinking back to "Cream Lemon" ( Project A-Ko ) or even "Power Rangers" or even Tenchi ( heck even Digi-mon G1-G2 can go here ), or "Cutey Honey" ( Especially Cutey Honey ), it is doing a damn hell of a good job, and look forward to purchasing any comics, and related paraphernalia to the animation.
I mean seriously I love 1990's stuff, but this thing here takes the cake. I am also looking at two other animations, but I forget their names, One has "nice-body-ko" and another one has "a pig with a button that can transform time and space".
However I will be honest, I am actually falling in love with the contrast of the characters, jokes, and plainness atmosphere. I forget this other animation people was talking about, however it was a school boyish guy, with curly but long hair, either way KLK, is looking good.
Personally I am not saying anything about the over exaggerated art style, but I prefer to have detail as with Cutey Honey ( original and new ). Otherwise it is looking good.
