First Impressions: Kill La Kill

Recently I decided to try watching Kill La Kill to fill in the time between episodes of Parasyte -The Maxim- (Why can't you update faster! T-T) after several friends expressed their enjoyment of the show. I will warn you: this is a very odd anime. It's esentially an ecchi magical girl story with an avenging angsty teenaged girl as the lead. However, it's still an enjoyable anime with a pretty good story underneath so far.

 Kill La Kill is a story about Ryuko Matoi, a high school aged girl, living in a world where certain clothing can imbue its wearer with heightened powers and one high school is in control of the majority of the world. Ryuko transfers to this all-powerful school in order to discover the identity of her father's killer and avenge him. Along the way she discovers one of her father's inventions: a sailor seifuku (sailor style school uniform) that gives her the ability to transform and fight against the club leaders who have the performance improving uniforms. She agrees to fight any and all students who challenge her in order to obtain whatever information the student council president (or Overlord) has about Ryuko's father's killer.

I'm enjoying the show enough to continue watching it at this point and would recommend it to anyone who likes quirky, odd shows.
