I forgot that Kill la Kill was still running, and so I now have four more episodes to watch. Whee!

This second half is very "reveal friendly". It helps that the explanations make the story more interesting. Sometimes you wait for the reveal so late in these shows that the pay off never justifies the wait.
Also, this show does a great job with the "annoying best friend" type of character.

And amazingly, they're actually making Kiryuuin a somewhat sympathetic character too.
I hope people are giving Zvezda a chance too, or else I'll be forced to post a shot of their resident technomage taking a bath with her robot.
Hmmm, might do that anyway.

"...they're actually making Kiryuuin a somewhat sympathetic character too."
Especially in this latest episode. She and Ryuuko might become an interesting combo. It's only a slight question of who would face Nui.
I watched the first episode of Zvezda upon your January 25th post. Very funny. I will watch the other four tonight, most likely.

While Mom looks like a Go Nagai refugee, running her through from the back is a tad hard to respect.
But I am gratified to hear I'm being read. Sometimes it gets a little too voice in the wildernessy around here.

I've been reading many of the Chizumatic commenters for years, but only recently had the courage to register and post on my own. I'm too new/non prolific to be discouraged by lack of visitors, but I get all tingly down my leg when any of you guys check in.
I would bet that you get read far more than you think.
Mom looks nothing at all like daughter. I wonder if there is a reason for that. Now that I think of it, Satuski and Ryuko look a bit alike and I wonder if there is a reason for that. I don't know if there is a manga for this or not, but that is one reason I will not be looking for it.
I'm up to episode five with Zvezda. So far so good, but it must be difficult to keep this type of show from falling. So far so good.

The circle I chose for Zvezda is a little slower it seems, your one up on me.
Mom and Kiryuuin DO share the same heavy eyebrows.

True dat on the eyebrows. But if that were the guide, I would be related to Eddie Munster. Or at least a red headed bastard stepchild.
Episode five of Zvezda has a nice twist-double twist at the end.
Not Sixth Sense level, but better than The Village, using the M. Night guide to twists.
