The Week in Anime, Fall 2013 #1 — Shipping Them Ships

Week in Anime,

I am going to copy Mr. Flawfinder (and the people he copied) and try to write a weekly post discussing the anime I am not blogging.

By writing these weekly posts I’ll be able to discuss the series I normally wouldn’t be able to, and publish something early in the week when I’m less busy. If these posts turn out well this season I may continue them in the future.

Anyway, Kill la Kill. It continues to be stylistically one of the best things I’ve watched in years. Take note, animators: you don’t need modern, snappy character designs or detailed backgrounds to make a beautiful show. What’s more important is the style and how it all fits together. Kill la Kill does this brilliantly. Continue reading Kill la Kill 02 — Power →
