There's not much to discuss between the show and the OVA except Isshin's mouse

Also I hope [sp]Ryuko won't pull a Simon and leave everyone else behind after they've defeated Ragyo[/sp]

I finally got to watch the whole show and I like it very much
The fanservice doesn't bother me that much, given this is a series about people and clothing and the whole thing (most of the time) isn't shoved down your throat. Some fanservice instances are also fetish-proof, at least as far as I'm concerned (the kamui, anyone?). The humor is quite fine, as well as the characters. And the anime looks very good with a lot of attention to details and previous episodes. The music rocks too.
The only thing I loathe about Kill la Kill this far is the Mako character and her family. I admit, I don't like comic relief characters by default, no matter the context or their qualities. But Mako takes the cake and eats it too. To be more precise:
- Her and her family antics aren't funny to me in the slightest. And althought Kill la Kill is a clearly over the top series with plenty of humor, I'd like to enjoy the occasional serious moment without a little moron spitting senseless crap. To be fair, someone explained to me that a lof of the humor from Mako's speeches come from Japanese visual puns. So maybe it's my fault for not knowing the specific language to appreciate them, but still ...
- Mako and her family are very flat characters and get really repetitive after a while (yeah, I know that Dr. Mankanshoku does more harm than good to his patients and the family dog eats a lot, I don't need to be remembered of all of this every damn time they are featured on screen)
- Mako is used randomly by the writers every damn time Ryuko needs some character development or a way out of a bad situation with no explanation whatsoever. Episode 12 comes to mind. She's basically a plot advancer pret-a-porter
- Episode 7, "A loser I can't hate" is arguably the only episode from Kill la Kill I dislike. The whole family does terrible things to Ryuko for the entire episode and then basically get away with it scot-free thanks to a very weak, out of place "friendship and family" aesop

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;44338289]mako = bad[/QUOTE]

for the most part I agree, she has a few cute/cool scenes (see latest episodes), but earlier she was really annoying

I really like how they're showing her in the mango a lot better
[IMG]http://z.mhcdn.net/store/manga/14344/001.0/compressed/l037.jpg?v=11391045941[/IMG]

notice how she's actually concious that ryuko is trying to ignore her, and for good reason, and doesn't just declare they're friends, she ASKS if ryuko wants to be friends

I must admit during the first episodes of the show I absolutely hated Mako, but during the later episodes she's become cooler and more likeable atleast for me.

This for the most part. I still don't like her as a character, but she became more bearable towards the end of the show (the last few episodes). The Loser I Can't Hate episode was alright just because of how over the top it was, but i couldn't stand Mako until just recently.

I finally got around to catching up to this show. It felt like Sorairo Days should have been playing throughout that entire last episode. Shit was so Lagann.

Also Trigger launched a giant ship penis into a giant gourd vagina. Best company.

I just watched the first episode. This is silly as fuck!
