      Critic Reviews for Kill la Kill: Season 1

      Audience Reviews for Kill la Kill: Season 1

      • Apr 10, 2023
        The search for her father's killer leads the student Ryuuko, wielder of a scissor-shaped sword, to Honnouji Academy, which is under the merciless regime of Head Girl Satsuki. To learn the truth, she must confront elite students whose special school uniforms grant them supernatural powers. Ryuuko has no choice but to slip into such a uniform herself and unleash powers she never dared to dream of. "Kill la Kill" is a special anime that has many wacky moments. The anime works in its own unique way. The characters don't have a lot of depth, but that's not what this is about at all. The Anime is meant to be entertaining and it does it well. Ryuko and Aikuro also complement each other well as a team and the animations look really impressive. I usually don't really like anime that involve a lot of fan service either, but this one is different. He somehow makes fun of it itself. The anime is perfect to switch off your head and just let yourself get entertained.

        Warning: Spoilers This series follows protagonist Ryuko Matoi as she joins the Honnouji Academy; a school dominated by head of the student council Satsuki Kiryuin; she rules with the help of the 'Elite Four'. They maintain discipline with an iron fist and transgressors are severely punished or even executed! Their influence isn't limited to the school; where a family lives is dependent on their child's status in the school. The senior pupils are able to dominate the others because of the 'life fibres' woven into their clothing; these give the wearers amazing powers. Ryuko however has her own special uniform; it is sentient and made entirely of Life Fibres; using this she plans to take on the ruling elite and ultimately discover who is responsible for the death of her father. This series is over the top crazy… that is the whole point of it! The fighting takes up most of the run time; amazingly each fight seems to be bigger than the last until ultimately it is a battle to save all of humanity! These fights are largely played for laughs although it is clear that the characters could get hurt and sometimes do. As the series progresses the plot advances nicely and there are some nice twists along the way. The costumes are fairly skimpy but the animation style means it is mocking fan service rather than pandering to it. This style is quite different to most anime; backgrounds are imaginative but less detailed and the movement is more frenetic than most series; this gives the show a western feel similar to that used in 'Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt'. As this seems to be one of the most talked about series of the moment and plenty of people are raving about it I'd definitely recommend checking it out even though I found it a bit too much at times. These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
