Does anyone know how the voice acting was directed? I'm watching again from the beginning, and the intensity of the interplay among the actors makes me think they must have recorded some scenes together. If so, the sessions with Koshimizu and Yuzuki must have been hilarious to watch while they screamed at each other.
I've also wondered whether the voicing sessions happened in advance of the animation. That worked well in Kurenai. It enhanced the realism of the performances since characters could interrupt and talk over each other as people do in real life. Most anime consists of a character speaking a line followed by another character responding. That works well in quiet settings like a cafe scene, but doesn't translate so well to a hot-blooded series like Kill la Kill. I once met the American actor Edward Everett Horton who narrated the "Fractured Fairy Tales" segments on the classic Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. That show had a veteran cast in including people like June Foray and Daws Butler. Nevertheless, Horton told me they often could not make it through the first run through in one take because the cast was laughing too hysterically to go on. I'd bet Kill la Kill sessions might have some of that flavor, especially ones including Mako.

I honestly think that's to the detriment of dub acting, since there seems to be more interest in whether the mouth flaps match than how natural the acting is or whether there's any chemistry between characters.

Funimation's been pretty good at doing both, especially in the past few years. Sadly, Funimation's not the one with the Kill la Kill license. I haven't really followed any Aniplex dubs in recent memory, so...

At least that's how it is for most shows/games anyway...

What I've read in the past does not square with the process quigonkenny describes when it comes to anime. I always thought most shows do the voice work after animation, and the actors adjust their timings to fit the mouth flaps. Largely this is driven by budgets, as the voices-first method requires more care during the animation process and thus more expense. Matsuo Kou (Red Garden, Kurenai) is often singled out as one of the few anime directors to record the voices in advance of animation:

I wonder if Aya Suzaki always wore her hair that way, or has she been taken over by Mako?

Crunchyroll has already gone and put up the "episode is probably going to be delayed" note on the page for Episode 21.

SHAFT has a long-standing reputation for delivering shows at the deadline; perhaps Trigger is doing so, too? I wonder if the issue has to do more with timing than with the scripts. You'd think the translators would already have their work done well before release, but timing the subs to the finished product might be trickier.
All this is speculation, of course, but I've never encountered a series on CR before with these kinds of repeated delays. Something in the production process is not working smoothly.

By the time this show is over I will still have not accepted the whole 'clothing are evil aliens' deal. It just never sat well with me. I've done this with other shows in the past mind you, I thought 'surfing robots' was dumb with E7 and didn't watch it, only to go back to it years later and fall utterly in love with it, and I thought FMA's original run was horrible because of the art style. Same with OP. Eventually went back and fell in love with them all over again. I started with this show from the start and well I still think the premise is moronic. Ah well lol

I think you're thinking of the line "Vergiss die Wahrheit nicht", which means "Don't forget the truth" in English. It's one of the more poorly pronounced lines in the song.
