...Since when were break-dancing samurai grounded in reality?
I said a little more grounded in reality. I didnt say so realistic I would confuse it for a documentary.
I think a breakdancing samurai who looks like he is doing capoeira with a sword is far more grounded in reality than many anime. It's certainly more grounded than sengoku bassara which has energy explosions when people fight, motorbike horses mecha samurai who flys and standard troops who's old job is to go flying in the air when they get attacked by a named character.
Well, I'm fething happy I woke up for no reason way earlier than I needed today; Managed to see KLK
Spoiler:
So, leave it to Satsuki to come up with a plan in one of the most desperate situations there is and pulling it off AND figuring out what's going on just by analysing Nui and her behaviour. This character is going beyond all that is epic.
And Satsuki in a Nudist Beach uniform? Heaven
Mako just proved once again how comic relief characters can be damn important to a plot and be badass comic relief characters!
I love Nui, but I admit, I loved that scene she was impaled against the wall. It was high-time she got some punishment from the good guys

Seconded. Also:

Huzzah! Mako lives! Let the dysfunctional family reunion commence!
Also, yay for the nerd high-five between Inumuta and Iori.

So much nudity this episode! I mean it's not like they left much to the imagination before with the suspenders and thongs covering the bits that are supposed to be covered, but they didn't even have that this time. Just flat out on display, though granted without the actual details of said bits being drawn in. Doesn't really bother me at all personally, but I did find it surprising.

Ya i started to like it after the show picked up a bit!
Spoiler:
i especially like how the main character stops acting like a jerk, it made him much more likeable for me and the show more enjoyable
Spoiler:
I liked him being a jerk, characters don't have to be nice to be interesting.
Spoiler:
Right I'm not saying he wasn't interesting, he was. I just didn't like him, killing people like its nothing, being mean. But, I'm a November 11 fan anyways
Well, that's all of Familiar of Zero watched and enjoyed. Nice series. Shame about the light novels, but at least the anime got a good ending (imo, at least.)
Hopefully the re-release of the first season'll spur releases of the other three...
In the meantime, my next course is clear: read the manga.

I agree with you. I also highly enjoyed watching the series, but why did you bring up the LNs. It still hurts about his (the authors) passing and the series going incomplete.

Hoo boy, I'm glad I wasn't watching that one somewhere people might have looked over my shoulder - and that's without the incest! Raygoh and Nui's innuendos at the beginning were not exactly subtle either...
The 4 Devas were really badass in this one, and Satsuki managed to be awesome even while getting pasted across the deck by Ryuko/Junketsu.
Mako was great - seems like everyone's getting a try at wearing Senketsu, maybe Gamagoori will try it on next? (God I hope I'm wrong... )
Also, Nui Finally gets impaled with extreme prejudice - I've been waiting for that for ages!
All in all, pretty good episode - bit harder to follow than the earlier ones were, the simplicity of the first few episodes made them a bit easier to watch and enjoy, I think...
So much blood this episode. Mako saves the day again. Even as a secondary character, she still gets gak done albeit in an extremely unorthodox fashion. The elite 4 continue there badassery with the queen of badass, Satsuki. Really great episode again.

He did help with the ending of the anime though, which I thought was very well done. I lament not desiring to read the novels (presuming I could find English translations) specifically because they are not finished, even the story is generally considered better overall then the anime (my hope with the manga is that it's true to the novels, but either way it'll be fun.)

Nah, she'll live. They'll find out she was "infected" or something by that living metal and it'll save her life though she'll be possessed by it for a bit and they'll have to save her.
But that ending made up for it. A smart enemy showed up? Oh yes, OOOOH YEES!!

I'm getting some vibes that maybe I should watch KLK...
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
Depends. Hype aside, it's an action/comedy with a more retro (I think that's the right word) animation style that refuses to take itself seriously (except when it decides to get serious. That doesn't last too long, but by gum it hits like a barrel of bricks when it happens.)
On the other hand, the whole "fanservice" angle can be a deterrent. So if the idea of barbie doll anatomy and fighting in skimpy outfits turns you off, it's probably not you're thing.
It's also not as simple as it seems. Trust us on that. Heck, I wrote an article using the show in relation to Nietzschean philosophy.

Caught up a bit with Kill La Kill. Nice to tee the awesome sillyness continue. Seems my luck of stopping watching an anime right before a good part has followed me with KLK lol

I find it interesting how so many people just seem to hate Nui. When I go check Reddit people are cursing like sailors when Nui does something and after this last episode, much rejoice was had
Always liked Nui since she first showed up.
Spoiler:
But like I said, I agree she deserved some kind of punishment. She has been doing whatever she wanted for far too long AND man, was that impalement cool!
Edit: but one character that's pissing me off is Nora from Noragami
Spoiler:
Cutting Hiyori's ties with Yato?! Seriously?! Nora better be slain in one of the last 2 eps!
Fun fact: I will never be able to take that villain seriously. Lord Rabo means Lord Ass in portuguese
