Kill La Kill

[sev]

first full show by Studio Trigger (Little Witch Academia, Inferno Cop) announced, a new Hiroyuki Imaishi series called Kill La Kill (or Killer Kill).

Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi
Series Composition/Script: Kazuki Nakashima
Character Design: Sushio
Animation Production: Trigger

It's a 2-cours battle action show set in an all girls high school. The main characters are Ryuuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuuin. Satsuki is a transfer student who carries a one handed longsword and believes that might makes right. She attempts to subjugate the school body using her strength. Ryuuko is the one who stands in her way, and seems to be driven by revenge.

Originally the plan was to make a pure battle manga sort of series set in a highschool, with the main character beating rival after rival in combat. After Nakashima compled about 4 episodes worth of scripts, Imaishi probably got bored of it because he decided to trash everything. The series has apparently since been changed to focus on character drama instead. The rivalry between the two main characters will be a major driving force.

more info and art

-Ryuuko and Satsuki are both the protagonists; not one more important than the other.

-It has a huge cast, but Nakashima says that there are no throw-away characters; everyone fits perfectly into the story. There is a lot of character development.

-There ARE male characters; Sushio says that he is getting to draw quite a few handsome dudes.

-The setting is some sort of industrial-age post-apocalyptic Babylon Tower.

-In the setting, uniforms vary based on each person's talents and they give them power accordingly in the right fields. Satsuki wishes to conquer the Academy with her power while Ryuuko stands in her way.

I have this gut feeling that Ryoko and Satsuki are eventually going to become allies. If I'm right ya'll owe me a pizza. If I'm wrong, I will commit sudoku.
