That Aikurou at MTAC Solved the Nipple Problem. Now How Do We Solve the Other Glow’s Problem?

These are the official Kill la Kill glitter pants, or leggings/tights as they seem to be in the modeling video, as released by Felissimo alongside their host of other KlK products like the false nails and scissor sword pendant.

They are intended to be worn with a skirt being labeled as tights, but there’s a reason you may wear them alone.

Yes, it would a be shame to show off your fandom of choice without getting into the spirit of having a big glowing, pink groin. There’s a closeup of the material, and it is thick enough for these to be really tight pants. So if you’ve ever wanted to spice up your yoga routine or just be the best host ever to people coming to your home, you have the ability.

You can order the pants for ~¥3,000 here.

 

“Ambiguous” English Cover by Sapphire

I didn’t want to expect this, so I’m even more glad that it came out. Sounds solid, nice voice, the lyrics seem fine. I’d like to see it in a full version, but that must take a lot of extra effort to produce, so that’s fine too. Good stuff.

Now, what’s also interesting is this part of the descriptor:

“I can’t wait for JoJo!”

Sapphire, if you do a version of “Stand Proud” when it comes out, I’ll give you a dollar. It’s not much, but it’s about the level of fan affection I can manage.

Kill la Kill OST 2 Preview Video

There’s still a little bit more to give. This is the cover of the 5 KlK blu-rays, and they come with a little something special. This blu-ray will come with the show’s second OST. 18 total new tracks, including a lot of instrumental versions of tracks from before. Check it out for yourself through this handy preview video.

KlK OST 2 will come alongside this blu-ray on May 7th.

And it’s all over until the OVA. So it’s not over at all, but we do get an ending, and it’s all right. I’d like to do a final thoughts, but I need more time, so maybe this weekend.

As before, there are even more pictures than this. Being that it’s the final episode, there’s a lot of material you may want to see in the episode, but it’s here in this album. Also, Goori does my favorite thing in the episode, possibly in the whole series. A picture wouldn’t do it justice, but you’ll know it when you see it in the episode.

Samurai Flamenco Episode 22 “Samurai Flamenco, Naked!!” Preview Images and Synopsis

 

The sound of a single gunshot. Haiji has captured Goto to get to Hazama because he wants Hazama to be the hero once more. He also keeps teasing Goto about his girlfriend. Yes. To know I exist, I will be true evil! And he will find what it is he’s been looking for. It’s finally time for the climax of The Legend of Samurai Flamenco!

Are you ready for the end? Is there going to be a final twist? Based on the pictures, who is the real focus? It looks like a lot of this might actually be about Goto.

In the end times, it’s time get something new. Most of the staff are returners. Kurata is writing, Suganuma is storyboarding, Manabu Nii, Michio Hasegawa, Masahiro Yamanaka, Toshie Kawamura, and Masaki Takasaka are animation directing, and Inutsuma Inukawa is directing. But Inukawa is not directing alone. He’s being joined by Takahiro Omori who you may know as one of the main directors of Baccano! and Durarara!! Now that’s a pedigree. Bring it on home, guys!

Kill la Kill Episode 24 “Beyond Endless Darkness” 30 Second PV

And someone was nice enough to put it on YouTube. Now you don’t have to follow the link to see a bunch of text as Senketsu reads it at you. The text basically goes, “Shinra Koketsu is strong, and humanity is in a pinch, but so is Trigger. Can Trigger give us the good ending? Good luck Imaishi et. al.” Hey, it’s the finale. I understand if they don’t want to show us anything before shit gets real for something like the 14th or so time.

Kill la Kill Episode 23 “Imitation Gold” Teaser Images

See, now this is a form of Ragyo grabbing someone we can all get behind.

Everyone gets to do something cool. If there’s a character you like, they probably did something great in this episode.

Self taken again. That’s why Daisuki’s watermark. That said, there are actually a few more pictures that this. 22 total, and that’s not even half the ones I wanted to. But you can see the whole set over in this Imgur album I accidentally called Episode 22.

Samurai Flamenco Episode 21 “Teach Me About Love” Preview Images and Synopsis

In order to stop Haiji, my own existence must end… These terrible things keep happening, Goto and Hazama’s friendship has been cracked appart, all Hazama can do is keep chasing after Haiji. But another new wall prevents him from catching him. Meanwhile, Goto is also lost in confusion. Just to laugh in their face, Haiji begins his next move.

Hazama and Goto throwing each other around might be some of the best animation we’ve ever gotten in this show. I do wonder how this will be resolved. Is Haiji real? I don’t really know or have a guess with this show.

This crew list has a bit of an embarrassing moment for me on here. Most everyone is someone we know. Kurata is screenwriting. Michita Shiraishi is directing. Masaiku Tayori, Katsuhiro Kumagai, Kazuyuki Igai, Michio Hasegawa, and Shunryo Yamamura are all animation directing. But we have two storyboarders. One is Katsumi Terahigashi, but one is someone I can’t find anything on nor am I clear on how to read the name kanji. 「由卯田和季一」 Can’t find anything on this person, so maybe they’re wholly new? Who knows.

Kill la Kill Episode 23 “Imitation Gold” 30 Second PV

Fight Club Mako, Fight Club Mako, Fight Club Mako, Fight Club Mako, Fight Club Mako, Fight Club Mako… And so on. I’m sure other things also happen in this PV like the final battle with Ragyo starting up there, the Big Four getting their uniforms back, Aikurou doing something with the pink glowing and all, but you have to keep your priorities straight. Fight Club Mako, and so on.

Kill la Kill Episode 22 “Tell Me How You Feel” Teaser Images

I don’t understand how I feel about this show. After coming down from the hype, the little problems start to build, and I start getting down on it, but then they make an episode like this where the aesthetic is just on full force. Stop fucking with me Trigger! My anime fan heart is very fragile.

Anyway, I watched Daisuke’s German stream to get these images, hence their watermark. All you need to know is that everything wonderful is contained within that last picture. Trust me.
