the fight choreography is definitely the main one, and is the aspect where the show really shines
gorgeous outfits
badass weapons
interesting and creative worldbuilding
a compelling story arc
interesting character dynamics
enjoyable soundtrack, including memorable songs and fitting score (the favouring of score over stock music is impressive, and a big plus)
cons:
art style isn't very attractive
outside action sequences, animation is poor
individual episode storylines are nothing special (they have a Saturday morning cartoon feel)
humour is unexceptional, mostly consists of uncreative gags
awkward attempts at Yang fanservice, as contrived as they are painfully transparent
pacing feels 'off' for a webseries; this is hard to explain but it's like they tried to cram in a full length TV season in the space of a series of short webisodes
for an alleged main character, Blake feels under-used and under-developed, tho they do have reasons for not making her more prominent earlier on
for the most part, the pros are decidedly above average by webseries standards
the cons fall into two categories, those that appear to be the result of ambition exceeding budget, and those that appear to derive from uncritical attempts to mimic anime conventions without considering whether said conventions are worth imitating
I've been up since like 7ish last night...couldn't sleep, took the bus into work. (I'm suffering through the lack of sleep because if I don't, I'll just be up all night again tonight... :P)
Kill La Kill is quite possibly the most anime thing to ever exist. Let's break it down, shall we? (Note: 98% of this is from the first episode.)
A wandering teenage girl dressed like a delinquent and armed with half a giant scissor arrives at a high school run by Anime Hitler, on a quest for vengeance, to find out who killed her father. School club presidents are equipped with super powered school uniforms made from a mysterious material. After losing a fight, the girl acquires a talking blood powered super-super powered transforming skimpy uniform, which her teacher, a stripping obsessed bishonen with glowing nipples and who is part of an organisation called Nudist Beach, tells her was made by her father. Meanwhile, she befriends a hyperactive girl who loves making friendship speeches, and decides she needs to take on Anime Hitler's four bodyguards, each with their own themed uniforms, so that she can take on Anime Hitler herself.
The Senator was the biggest and oldest pond cypress tree in the world, located in Big Tree Park, Longwood, Florida. At the time of its demise, it was 125 feet (38 m) tall, with a trunk diameter of 17.5 feet (5.3 m). The tree was destroyed by a fire on January 16, 2012.

Listen to a few minutes of Rush Limbaugh. That's what you sound like when you talk about politics; that's what everybody sounds like when talking about politics.

Hopefully it should improve if there's a second season, which there damn well better be considering the way it ended.
I dunno about you guys but I don't think I'm going to be sleeping tonight.
