At least the show is self-aware about it, which makes me hopeful that it won't be standard fanservice.
Still hyped as fuck, regardless.

Being self-aware hardly makes a difference these days. They all want to have their cake and eat it too.

Frankly, it looks like this is exactly what they're doing here, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. For hype's sake.

Kill la Kill is looking very, very good. Can't wait!

Probably intentional.

 

[cntr]

I'm in agreement with everybody that the outfit is incredibly stupid, but I still have high hopes for the series. We'll see how it plays out come October.

 

[SolarPowered]

Huh.

Cold be worse. At least shadow doesn't look ready to give you lap dance.

 

[peaceiscloser]

Well this is.. something

I'll be giving this a watch because Gurren Lagann totally surprised me when I watched it, totally was bored the first few episodes.

 

[LordCanti]

If there's one thing that I love, it's anime featuring student councils with seemingly godlike authority and power.

Spoiler

I also have a large soft spot for transforming seifuku

Probably intentional.

I'm hoping so. They did a different version of a dystopic future with Gurren, so it would be nice to see a more...mmm..subversive level of control, and not just "live underground or die; Fuckers".

 

[Articalys]

Confirmed to be streaming "within hours of [its] original air time in Japan" on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Daisuki, so whatever your preferred simulcast site is, you'll have a way to watch it.

 

[Vito]

Thank god Aniplex USA is too fucking lazy to put that on their own page instead of linking ANN. I swear most PR people in the US anime & manga industry are down right incompetent.

 

[Articalys]

It also mildly amuses me that AoA is still doing official subs for the PVs... two and half weeks late. Here's an official English subbed version, just uploaded today, of the 30-sec PV from the end of August.

I suppose they might have an official subbed version of the most recent PV from this weekend by the time the show actually starts airing?

Good thing its on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Daisuki's output is awful and does not has iOS support in 2013.

[Thoraxes]

Oh my god.

Hype levels reaching critical mass.

I don't think I can hold it much longer guys.

 

[Articalys]

Crunchyroll simulcast time and regions revealed: Thursdays at 11:30am PDT for North America, South America, and South Africa only.

As noted above, Madman Entertainment will be streaming a same-day simulcast for Australian and New Zealand.

 

[Snakeyes]

I finally figured out why this show's characters seemed so familiar to me;

Wouldn't be surprised if part of the character designs was meant to be a little GG shout out.

 

[DarknessTear]

Yeah, I don't see it.

If there's a Baiken-esque character then I will be 100% on board.

Eh the whole hot blooded red/cool blue thing is pretty much everywhere.

 

[Professor Renegade]

I saw a drill in that PV, I'm excited.

 

[Articalys]

Oh hey, it only took Aniplex USA almost two weeks to do what a fan did in three days, subtitle the 3-minute PV from the 13th.

Aya Suzaki (Mako Mankanshoku)'s signed shikishi kicks off the countdown.

Oh yeah, I saw those flash by but didn't think to freeze-frame them. Thanks for that.

 

[Plywood]

You mean like a Japanese cartoon? Is such a thing possible?

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I hope there will be some awesome male lead badasses. schoolgirls with swords is great and all, but I also like a good male character!

 

[Jacob]

Not sure if serious.

I just hope that the story is entertaining and the characters (regardless of gender) are cool. I'm really looking forward to this but I haven't been following it too closely because I'd like to go in with at least somewhat fresh eyes.

 

[CornBurrito]

I saw a trailer that looked... really bad. But I think I'll give this a shot.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Not sure if serious.

completely serious. I am male, and like awesome male anime hero characters like Spike! Not sure what the problem is with that...

 

[CornBurrito]

completely serious. I am male, and like awesome male anime hero characters like Spike! Not sure what the problem is with that...

I think the problem is that you could watch a hundred other action shows with a male lead. No need for every fucking show in the universe to have to appeal directly to your oddly specific need.

 

[V_Arnold]

completely serious. I am male, and like awesome male anime hero characters like Spike! Not sure what the problem is with that...

I am male, and MORE female heroines please. More, more, more.

 

[Yonafunu]

yes YES YEEEEEEEESSSS this is amazing

 

[Freezasaurus]

So is this going to be all twenty-some-odd episodes straight through like Attack on Titan, or will it be split in two like Valvrave?

 

[LordCanti]

Which one of the streaming services is going to post this first? I guess Crunchy requires a subscription to watch brand new stuff, so I'd need to sign up for a free trial. I'm trying to find a schedule, but I only see the dates listed and not the times.

From their new newsletter

TRIGGER MAGAZINE


Issue # 000
October 2,2013
This newsletter has been sent to our users who have requested upon creating an account on TRIGGER shop. With the new television series "KILL la KILL" starting in October, we would like to send out information about the series and the studio to the subscribers.

"KILL la KILL" production report


Nice to meet you fellow subscribers! My name is Higuchi, and I am the script writer's literary assistant. Through this past year and a half, I was able to witness the raw production of "KILL la KILL" and I would like to take my time to share some of my wonderful experience with all of you!
I bet all of you are familiar, but "KILL la KILL" is produced by Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima, the duo from "Gurren Lagann." With the staffs being close with each other, each and every staff meeting was filled with jokes and laughter. Each and every staff was really having fun! Despite the staffs horsing around at time, their boldness to create what they truly enjoy, and not catering to the popular trend is something I admire. "KILL la KILL" definitely reflects on the creators passion, and it just might be the punch Japan needs in this laid back times. So please don't miss out on the first episode of "KILL la KILL!"

Comment from the studio
Hello Hello! Nice to meet you all!
My name is Tatsuru and I am the PR specialist of studio TRIGGER!
I would like to first thank all of you who have subscribed to ourTRIGGER MAGAZINE!
I plan to borrow a little space from this newsletter to provide our subscribers with the latest information on "KILL la KILL" and our studio.

So, uh... What's the difference from just checking out your official sites?
First of all I'm here to provide the information in English! Hopefully more people understands English than Japanese (laughs).
And, I also plan to share some cool artworks that is "probably" not available elsewhere!

For example, the key frame above was the one used in our latest PV!
Hope this'll motivate you guys to not unsubscribe!
We're just a bit under a week to go before our broadcast for "KILL la KILL" starts!
Hope you guys won't miss it since we're hightailing it from the first episode!

Apparently the first episode is up on Crunchyroll in the US.

I hope the people who watched Attack on Titan will give this show a shot. I loved the first episode.

People are probably going to rage quit the moment Matoi's true outfit is revealed.
