"The Sailor Uniform Is Talking!" -Kill la Kill Review

A new anime series produced by Trigger that just started airing on October 3rd, 2013!

Set in a fictional and quite unusual high school in Japan, Kill la Kill (often referred to just as klk) features an insane school ranking system where the Student Council and club presidents wear mystical uniforms known as the Goku Uniforms. These Goku Uniforms synchronize with whoever wears it and boosts their strength and power.

Enter the protagonist, Ryuko Matoi a transfer student who is hellbent on information about her father's killer. Armed with a half scissor blade she rips through the crowds of the school challenging Lady Satsuki, the Student Council President of Honnouji Academy, questioning Satsuki about her knowledge of the scissor blade Ryuko carries with her. After being chased away by one of the Student Council Members she escapes towards her old, demolished home where she encounters a powerful and bloodthirsty uniform she can wear herself; Senketsu. Once again she challenges the esteemed Lady Satsuki and begins her hectic battle for the information she wants desperately.

This anime is an interesting one with a very unique plotline and concept. The animation is smooth with some cheesy but classic jokes like getting a nosebleed when seeing something arousing. The anime itself leaves some confusion and questions to be answered and the skimpy outfits can get a bit old (but I'm sure this isn't news coming from a teenage girl). The voiceacting is well done and they sure don't sound bored with their job. Popularity is increasingly popular on tumblr (if you're into anime and you haven't seen klk on your dashboard then you must be following the wrong people) and promoting the rapid development of subbing episodes after episode 8.

Kill la Kill episodes 1-7 are available for FREE at crunchyroll
