… or woman. Some snapshots from the first four minutes and twenty seconds of Kill la Kill<\/a><\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kill<\/a><\/p>\n

… and then it gets bizarre.<\/p>\n

Everything you’ve heard about the first episode of Kill la Kill<\/b><\/i> is true. ((E.g., this<\/a>.)) It will be difficult to maintain that level of lunatic energy, and I won’t be surprised if most coming episodes are less frenetic than the opener. Still, it looks like there will be something to look forward to every Thursday this fall.<\/p>\n

I sampled a few of the other new series. I quit Walkure Romanze<\/b><\/i> at three minutes and forty seconds, when a horse tried to pull off a girl’s skirt. I made it half-way through Gingitsune: Messenger Fox of the Gods<\/b><\/i> and Unbreakable Machine-Doll<\/b><\/i>; they aren’t bad, just not interesting. I made it all the way through the first episodes of Arpeggio of Blue Steel<\/a><\/b><\/i>, Outbreak Company<\/a><\/b><\/i> and I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So …<\/a><\/b><\/i>. I suspect the creators of the first are attempting another Strike Witches<\/b><\/i>, and the creators of the second, another Dog Days<\/b><\/i>. I might watch the next episodes of both to see if the writers have any original ideas. I Couldn’t Think of a Short Title<\/b><\/i> is a bit ecchi for my taste, but it is potentially a good comedy. I’ll probably watch more of that, too.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: Coppelion<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is pleasantly post-apocalyptic, and is probably the best-looking show of the season \u2014 the first episode is worth seeing for the backgrounds alone. I might continue watching that as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
