"FEAR IS FREEDOM! CONTROL IS RELEASE! CONTRADICTION IS TRUTH!" - Satsuki
Summary
2 teens, Ryuuko who, with half of her father's experimental weapon, a Scissor Blade, has a chip on her shoulder against her father's killer. Then there is Satsuki, the other teen who "believed" that clothes make the human and created Honnouji Academy. There are darker forces beyond these women's comprehension at work behind the scenes.
Characters
Ryuuko
17, who is a hot blooded delinquent and has a vendetta against her father's killer.
Senketsu ["fresh blood"]
A living sailor uniform which is called a Kamui ("God Clothes"), an outfit that provides its wearer with
godlike abilities in exchange for coupious amounts of the wearer's blood. He has the ability to
transform into an indestructible suit of armor, the only issue that Ryuuko has is that it gives her skimpy
appearance.
Satsuki
18, the Student Council President of Honnouji Academy. She rules her academy with an iron first, decides and issues clothing that enhance the students' abilities, abilities and powers that surpass that of regular humans.
Side Characters
Mako
An air-head 2nd year student, so her random and unimaginable actions never cease to shock and awe
the people around her. She strongly believes that she and Ryuko are best
of friends even though they met the first day Ryuuko arrived to Honnouji Academy.
The 4 under Satsuuki
Ira Gamagoori
He is the Head of the Public Morals Committee. He sworn absolute loyalty to the Student Council President.
Houka Inumuta
He is the Student Council Secretary and Intelligence and Strategic Analyst. He always try to use the least effort to achieve the greatest results.
Nonon Jakuzure
She regulates the school's non-athletic groups. Nonon also runs the school's the marching band. Nonon's Three-Star
Goku Uniform resembles that of a drum majorette. Her baton is not just
for show, as Nonon is a conductor as well.[I think my fav.]
Uzu Sanageyama
Head of the Sports Club.
Antagonists
Nui Harime
the Grand Couturier of the Revocs Corporation. She is
known for her cute appearance, sadistic yet childish nature, and
incredible fighting power.
Ragyou
The head of the Kiryuuin family. CEO of the major clothes company of the world. Mindset that clothes "make" the person.
Art
Intense action scens, there are points of still images which to me did not bother
The COPIOUS amount of body shots of men, women, and teens in this. This can be a stun factor at first [which was my first reaction], but it can also ruin a viewing.
Music
Soundtrack, very good! Openings and Endings...eh not bad but for me not MIND blowing.

OP2: [I liked this op more.]
ED2:
Dub or Sub?: Sub
Some other thoughts:
I initially thought that Kill La Kill and Gurren Laegann were produced by the same studio. :o *shame shame* hehehehe. The art looked similar, but I've heard that Trigger was started by 2 people who worked at Ginax, which is why I got the two shows put under one studio.
I do not understand the super pedo moments by Nui and Ragyou. They are super suggestive with both Ryuuko and Satsuki. They are teenagers! I do not want to see adults fondle teenagers... bleh...
"The fact you are embarrassed by the values of the masses only proves how small you are.."- Satsuki Kiryuin, Kill La Kill.
I get the showing the other gaze though. Also, it shows the metaphor for
maturing of the characters an what comes with those experiences.
The very last scenes of the fights felt rushed and gave me a "what?!! confused" face.
Still scratching head on why they chose the those choices and directions they did near the end...
