So Kill la Kill ended.

[Homura]

Indeed. I honestly didn't think it was as epic was the ending for Gurren Lagaan was. Then again, hard to top two giant robots fighting in the universe and throwing galaxy shurikens.

Yeah. Prior to the ending, I was comparing Kill la Kill with Gurren Lagaan but realize that I shouldn't. GL had MEGA universe sized robots fighting in space which is impossible to compare to girls wearing sailor fuku to fight a crazy mother.

Either way, that was some way to end a show which I am glad was done how it was.

Also, Mako is just so precious.

I pretty thoroughly enjoyed Kill la Kill. The ending may have been a little underwhelming in light of Gurren Lagann, but out of that context, I thought it wrapped really well.

I'm currently working on Spice & Wolf. I'm only two episodes in, but I'm absolutely in love with the show.

I'm trying to decide if I should watch Kill la Kill. It has a big fanbase, and people love to discuss it but I fear I can be too picky. I am very open minded though, I'm not easily offended and such I just crave good character development and a smart plot. I'm not sure if Kill la Kill has either of those things, anyone care to tell me otherwise? haha. :P

No, it doesn't really have brilliant character development or an entirely original plot. It's pretty friggin' awesome though. The visuals are gorgeous and the characters are a hot-blooded mess of awesome.

Ya KLK was basically a show designed to be over-the-top.

In any case, Rebellion's out on BD. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee~

Just rewatched it last night, was an even better experience without the multilingual subtitles and horrible cam corded quality haha. I definitely recommend rewatching it now to anyone who hasn't yet. It's an awesome anime movie, but part of me wishes it was a season two or the anime series or at least a 6 or 7 part series since it felt a tiny bit rushed and a LOT happened. I loved some of the "for the fan things" like the magical girl transitions (Kyoko is the best!!) and the fight scenes are great. Eeek.

It was beautiful to watch again.

[Homura]

I picked up a lot of stuff that I didn't see the like 5th/6th time through. this movie is packed with a lot of little things and checkov's objects are everywhere if you look carefully for them. It's incredible how much they packed into such a small package.

There's a Homura 1st take version of audio, which gives you the 1st take of Homura's dub for the movie, which essentially changes the flavour and meaning of the ending completely. I'm glad they didn't use the 1st take, but if you're SUPER hardcore die-hard, it's worth it to go through it again.

The story hasn't ended for Madoka. So...ya wait a couple years. Urobuchi isn't done yet, afaik.

[Braixen]

Hmm! I wonder what they will come up with then, they really left it at a point where it could go either way. Eek. I will probably watch it again in a couple month just to take in more... and to watch all that insane animation again, oh my!
@Homura
Have you watched Kaiba?
