[HorribleSubs] Kill la Kill - 02
------------
Continuing the first episode's fun with clichés, the second episode was no different. The arch-nemesis announced up front that she doesn't wear one of the special uniforms, she's just that fucking badass all on her own. No need to wait for a later episode, they just toss it in there.
They play around with the overly dramatic name subtitles, even overusing them on people that barely matter, such as on the Mankanshoku family, initially labeling the father "PERVERT" and pausing to name the dog. They all look like a cross between Shin-chan and Dr. Slump characters.
The scene with the teacher was just bizarrely funny, shining beams of light and all.
Fun bit-role for Takahashi Chiaki as the tennis captain.
And there's even a spot in the episode where they are two dogs just...humping. I'll leave it up to the rest of you to find it.
You know what all this makes the show? Fun. Trigger is good at that. They excel at making anime that is simply fun.
edit: Forgot about the transformation scene. Ryuko's henshin isn't fantastic, shiny and pretty. It's actually really, really gross.
