Kill la Kill

Kill la Kill is a magical girl-style Studio Trigger anime about Honnoji Academy transfer student Ryuko Matoi and her quest to find out what happened to her father- and eventually, to stop Life Fibers from taking over Earth.

Despite this being from the guys working on Gurren Lagann and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, there was no Gainax Ruined the Ending, but rather an actual ending where everything is resolved.

## Tropes

* Adult-oriented Aesop: One about greed. In Episode 7.
	+ The main one is that people are people, and clothes are clothes.
* Everybody needs to be healthy: Mataro asks why his family is having French food again, but the trope is otherwise subverted.
* Gainax Girl: Mako.
* Gainax Ruined the Ending: Thankfully averted.
* True Ending: The OVA.
* To Riches and Back: Mako went from a No-Star to a Two-Star and back, all in the same episode!
* That's a Capital Idea: Ryuko almost *always* takes Mako's advice. There are a few episodes where she didn't.
	+ In the OVA, the prime Elite Four (since the clones are evil) take Mako's advice as well.
* By The Power of Whatever: "Life Fibers Synchronize, Kamui Senketsu!"
* Last Minute Plot Switchover: Arc 1 consists of Ryuko fighting to make sure Satsuki tells her everything she knows. Arc 2 is basically an Alien Takeover plot, complete with Adult-oriented Aesop!
* Overthrowal Scheme: Maiko Ōgure had one, but was expelled for it.
	+ In a subversion, Ryuko never actually wanted to *overthrow* Satsuki in the first place; she just wanted to find out who killed her father.
* All Clothing is Revocs Clothing: As of episode 21.
* Blame it on Development: When Ryuko temporarily became evil, Satsuki wore Senketsu for the time being. That's right; Ryuko was originally supposed to be similar to Satsuki in appearance.
* Japanese Academy: Honnoji Academy. What makes it different than the other Japanese academies is that it's stricter-than-strict.
* Innocent punishment: And lots of punishments can be dealt to those breaking those stricter-than-strict rules, the most common punishments being expulsion or demotion to No-Star.
* Financial Failure: The Mankanshokus while Mako was a Two-Star in Episode 7. When Mako became a Two-Star once again, the Mankanshokus learned from Episode 7 and therefore are not as greedy as they were in Episode 7. Then again, there was another reason for this...
* My Life Meme: Egd, Edge, and Edgy. "Edg" referring to Dante, "Edge" referring to Shadow the Hedgehog, and "Edgy" referring to Ryuko.
	+ Ira Gamagoori's only set size is "bigger than you". It is for this reason that his size fluctuates a lot.
* You Are Fired: Getting one's Goku Uniform slashed means they're *instantly* demoted to no-star (in other words, fired from the student council). In an aversion, when the Elite Four's Goku Uniforms got slashed, rather than firing them, Satsuki had new Goku Uniforms for them commissioned.
	+ Mako Mankanshoku defies this by disbanding her club and letting Ryuko destroy her uniform.
* Welcome to Reality: Starting up a school club requires paperwork, and it's the same case here as shown in episode 7. Downplayed, in that the paperwork that has to be filed in order for a school club to exist at Honnoji is *a lot*.
