Kill la Kill - Episode 4
Outrageous magical outfit anime turns into outrageous gag anime. Who could tell the difference?
The disciplinary committee holds an obstacle course day to expel as many students as possible by making them tardy. Ryuko and Mako, and an injured girl they pick up, try to make it to school on time. Call back gag showing Ryuko's striped panties? Check. Rinse and repeat? Check! Betrayal by new girl as plot twist? Check! Making roll call in the nick of time by destroying half the classroom? Double check!
What I liked about this episode was how the animation style did not use any of the super dramatic lines from the previous episodes. The producers made this show look like a comedy by slightly deforming all the characters and backgrounds as if they were part of a throwaway gag scene. An entire episode like that! After last week's episode, with a battle between the two main powered suits that we would normally see at the end of a show's season, not the third episode, this was a welcome and a funny change of pace.
