(Actually, they’re physical manifestations of the bad things they did in the past, and you know how that goes.) It’s a dumb, fun homage to dumb, fun action manga in other words, what Kill la Kill does best. Much like one of those wonderful pieces of art, episode 25 brings back a minor villain nobody cared about and forces the protagonists to do battle with clones of themselves who were created by magic or some shit. In a move that can only be described as fitting, this episode’s storyline plays out like a parody of those bad shounen anime spin-off films that extend the original premise far past its sell-by date while also adding very little to the overall canon. I guess you could say I lost my way, and now I’ve found it again. But I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting over the past week or so, and I’ve just now realized that I need to write about this if I want any chance of moving on from the ineptitude I displayed last year. I’m not going to pretend I was busy and didn’t have any time to write about it. This episode is special in that it finally brings back both Ryuuko's and Mako's favorite foods.īefore we begin, yes, I know this OVA has been out for nearly a month now. Which is why I have to take this one last chance to make it right.

My weakness, if not outright failure, as a writer was and is on full display. And if you look stupid to someone, somewhere, you must be doing something right. The truth is, when you put your heart into something, you’re going to end up looking stupid to those who think differently from you. And the fact that I gave up - that made me look like a quitter, which is worst of all. Everything else I wrote made me look boring, which is even worse. Because shit, man… I already looked stupid to the people who disagreed with my blogs that weren’t crap.
Kill la kill ova how to#
I should have tried harder, learned how to analyze, and not worried about looking stupid. Even if every post I wrote turned out to be garbage, I shouldn’t have given up like that. As it stands, only one of my more traditional episodic blogs was anything resembling good, and the other two not-terrible ones don’t hold up because everyone who isn’t insane has realized that the point of them has been rendered moot over time.īut I still shouldn’t have stopped weekly blogging KLK. Which is fine, except for the part where almost everything else I wrote about the show was simply awful.
Kill la kill ova series#
I wanted to engage in a discussion about how I perceived the issues others had with a series I liked, but of course, that didn’t really happen.
Substantial arguments against other substantial arguments that fell on deaf ears because our readership was low. But that’s all I had in me a few critical analyses about other critical analyses, as it were. I put a lot of effort into those pieces, and I’m still quite proud of them. I wrote three fairly decent editorials about Kill la Kill.
