Kill la Kill was one of those shows that required your full attention but managed to never be exhausting or boring. To put it bluntly: Kill la Kill is an incredible show. Despite there being so many things that make the show great, the greatness of the show couldn't carry the show all the way to perfection.
What Make The Show Great:
There are so many things in this show that almost perfectly fit together. To be more specific: the animation, the characters, and the plot.
__
The cast of characters consist of diverse, unique, and fun characters. All of the characters in this show have their own distinct personalities and physical traits. Often times with large casts of extremely unique characters, it can become a challenge to keep up with all of them as they all play their own role in the cast. With Kill la Kill the show does the work for you by keeping the main characters in the spotlight, while keeping the supporting characters in the background. Even with keeping a strong balance between main and supporting characters, every character manages to bring an entertaining personality to the table despite what role they play in the story.
Throughout the entirety of the show, the plot is always driving forward at full speed. This makes for a story that sucks you in and keeps you in. There's never a lacking of developments of plot and character and that nonstop high action road the show takes you down proves to be entertaining as hell.
What Kept The Show From Perfection:
Despite the good elements of the show significantly outweighing the bad elements, there are still bad elements that proved to be problems throughout the show. Ironically enough those elements stem from the same elements that made the show great. Those elements being: The animation, the characters, and the plot.
As I had said earlier, there is never a shortage of things to look at in this show. Despite that, there is sometimes too much to have to look at. There are moments where there is so much stuff happening in the show at the same time, where it becomes a struggle to take and comprehend everything that is happening. There will be frames where there will be a new character being introduced, a lot of large movements, and large Japanese letters taking up the majority of the frame. Most of the time it's not hard to see and understand what's going on, but there are still those moments that keep it from being completely easy.
When having such a large and diverse cast of characters, there are times when certain characters don't fit with the tone of the scene or arc. This produces moments where the tone and feeling of a scene or arc just suddenly and abruptly changes like a song changing key every 30 seconds.
Truth be told, my complaint about the plot is a very minor one but semi-spoils the show. (Read at your own risk.)
Should You Watch The Show?:
ABSOLUTELY! There are so many things that this show does well, that it makes it an incredible experience to watch. This isn't a show anyone should miss out on, because not only is it one of a kind, but its one of a great kind. I give it an 87/100.
