It’s tough to be that black sheep individual that goes about their own business without being judged by the majority, hence why we generally follow fashion trends, region-specific social etiquette, and so forth. There’s a struggle within our current modern-day society to fit in with social norms. It's not often that you come across an anime with a strong female lead that can not only stand up for herself, but also against tyranny and male counter parts.
#SUSHIO KILL LA KILL DRAWING SERIES#
They took a series that banks on testosterone-based, over-the-top action and made the main characters girls. Trigger did something interesting with its characters in Kill la Kill that you don’t see in anime too often, adding to the fresh factor of the show. Even if you don't take the stance on viewing the series as a parody, you'd probably still find the series entertaining and fun to watch on a different standard. The most astounding part about all of this is that Kill la Kill doesn't just adhere to the common tropes itself for shits and giggles it actually takes these tropes and literally makes them its plot. Not only does the series poke fun at commonalities in anime, it also fires shots at the oppressive nature of the Japanese education system. School system that emphasizes uniforms? Check. Over-sexualized, provocative clothing and fan-service for no reason? Check. Part of the genius behind Kill la Kill is the fact that the show itself is a parody of many overused tropes in recent anime. While there is a lot of wild enjoyment to be had in Kill la Kill, it's also easy to disregard what makes this series so brilliant. This isn’t to say that the series is shallow in the slightest, but it’s often difficult to overlook the abundance of panty shots, suffocatingly tight and revealing outfits, the FLCL-esque action, and all their allure. Although Kill la Kill is entertaining, it is still a series that prioritizes style more than substance. What began as a simple revenge story, with a shaky plot direction, overabundance of fan-service, and obnoxiously flashy fight scenes, ended in a surprisingly competent and satisfying fashion. Watching the story of Kill la Kill unfold was confusing, exhilarating, comical, lively, and goddamn refreshing.
And, to answer that question, Trigger will look down and whisper, "No." Lately there's been a lack of courage to sack up, step outside of the box, and say, "Hey, let's try something new." After you peruse season after season of the same regurgitated genres you might find yourself wondering if anime has lost its way. As of late it seems that anime has been stuck in a rut of moe, harems, rom-coms with unrealistically dense male MC’s, and onii-chan/imouto obsessive garbage. It wasn't just silly entertainment for kids, like many Western cartoons, and people of all ages could Anime was an intellectual, creative medium that reflected flair and pizzazz. Even if you haven't seen these, you've likely at least heard of them and the impact that they've had on anime as a whole. In the old days we had our Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Wolf's Rain, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Akira, FLCL, Berserk, Fist of the North Star, and Miyazaki we had Space Captain Harlock, Lupin the Third, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Ghost in the Shell. It's been said by many veteran anime watchers that anime is dying. Now, armed with Senketsu and the Scissor Blade, Ryuuko makes a stand against the Elite Four, hoping to reach Satsuki and uncover the culprit behind her father's murder once and for all.
After coming into contact with Ryuuko's blood, Senketsu awakens, latching onto her and providing her with immense power. Thoroughly beaten in a fight against one of the students in uniform, Ryuuko retreats to her razed home where she stumbles across Senketsu, a rare and sentient "Kamui," or God Clothes. In the school's brutally competitive hierarchy, Satsuki bestows upon those at the top special clothes called "Goku Uniforms," which grant the wearer unique superhuman abilities. The academy is ruled by the imposing and cold-hearted student council president Satsuki Kiryuuin alongside her powerful underlings, the Elite Four. Following her only lead-the missing half of his invention, the Scissor Blade-she arrives at the prestigious Honnouji Academy, a high school unlike any other. After the murder of her father, Ryuuko Matoi has been wandering the land in search of his killer.
