Kill La Kill - Episode 9 Discussion / Poll

[Raymondjram]

Thanks for the correct information. I know that there is plenty of misinformation being publiahed on the Web (I know because I was one of the founders of my ISP "prtc.net", supervised the web servers and their contents), and sio I asked. I can imagine that Nonon's true Goku suit may still be a surprise.

Anyway, that Crunchyroll article presented a sampler of Kill La Kill themes, and indicated a release date of the CD this month.

Breakdown of internet contents:

Porn -- 60%
"Illegal" downloads -- 60% (includes most porn)
Stupid YouTube videos -- 10%
BS -- 20% (includes these statistics)

That was one helluva weird fight and I don't I've seen so much spanking in any show before.

This episode did make it clear how much of typical hothead shounen hero Ryuho can be sometimes. 95% brawn and 5% brains indeed, but certainly makes Senketsu even more perfect partner for her. Neat power up too.

However once again, she getting pretty arrogant though. Feels like she didn't quite learn some lessons on that with Sanageyama's fight.

The part where Ryuko was walking the steps to the platform, reminded me of Utena, I'm pretty sure it was a parody/reference, also Gamagoori's shielded form reminded me of one of the Evangelion Angels

I give credit to Gamagoori for coming up with a Goku uniform of his that made use of strategy and the wait to build-up game, but as Satsuki's said he got absorbed too much by his own sense of discipline that Matoi got him at the end for becoming blinded at his own mistake.

Certainly, it's weird for me to actually feel empathy and compassion to Ira. Because, despite his looks, he did everything to protect the students in the past and succeeded at barely not ending kneeling down at Satsuki when both first fought. Weird I say, because him spouting such self-serving nonsense like "Satsuki-sama is the exception while you Matoi dresses as a slut" or "Receive my whip of love" obviously points out at creepiness raised to the tenth power; no wonder why Mako labelled him as a hentai right off the bat in the previous episode.
That, and the first form of his Shackle Regalia combined with his self-punishing pins him as a pervert; how come in this show the protagonists are so obsessed with calling every guy a pervert at every corner? Please, most of the fodder characters are guys what does Matoi expect them to be so as not to behave pervertedly? That they behave or become gays?

[quigonkenny]

Sanageyama hasn't done anything perverted. By your logic does that make him gay? ^_^

I'm actually partially serious. I didn't really follow that last sentence.

It's a trade-off for Matoi's extremely fanservicey outfit. That outfit may make it seem like Matoi herself is a pervert... except she stays very focused/serious during fights, and criticizes almost every bit of perversion that she comes across. So in spite of what Matoi is wearing, she doesn't seem like a pervert, because she doesn't act like one and she complains a lot about other people's perversion.

The writers want fanservice fans to have enjoyable visuals, but they apparently don't want Matoi to have a "pervert" characterization, so this is the trade-off we get.

Oh, my! I sounded too naive with my previous post. Of course, I do not deem Matoi a pervert is just I think the so trade off packs too much. What I mean with that is the whining and complaining from Matoi's part regarding perverts; I deem it unnecessary.

It would be enough and fair game of a trade off for me if Matoi just limits herself at beating the crap and/or swatting every pervert that mistakenly comes across her path. I say that because the other trade off about her whining is becoming annoying to me listening at her bitching over and over at everything perverted. Although I feel that somebody else is going to post that Satsukis' speeches and mighty attitude from above the top are no better but pretty annoyingly as Matois' complaints.
