Kill La Kill Episode 2 - More insanity, more fun, basically the same level of madness as episode 1. Just what i wanted. I can see this being one of the contenders for best of the season now if this trend continues. It never takes itself seriously, the dialogue is pretty great as well and the animation is very fluid and adds to the charm. Sure, there is fan service And for the ladies, a hilarious minute of the home room teacher going shirtless for no reason but the shear fun of the action, the chemistry of the characters and such lets it slip by fairly easily. Sure it's there, but it doesn't get in the way. I'd say it just adds to the sense of humour the series has crafted for itself.
Hajime no Ippo Challenger Road, OVA & Episode 1 of New Challenger - In an attempt to bash through it as swiftly as i can to get onto S3, i got the film and ova down alongside the first ep of S2. The film and OVA where pretty great, good combinations of character development to fights. And the shift in focus from Ippo in the OVA is a nice change of pace, something i'm happy to see more of. The first ep of S2 was nice, and did feel like more of the same, however i felt that, the fresher feel of the animation and the new choice in soundtrack just don't fit. It's only one episode, but i already miss the style of everything before it, since the soundtrack did left a lasting impression on me. Still, we'll see as we go.
