Is the thread title a reference to the theme song?
It's from the dubiously titled "Before my body is dry" (capitalized exactly like that), which does double duty as Ryuko's character theme and a general "shit's going down" indicator.
Said line (and the narmtastic "I GOTTA FIND OUT WHO KILLED MY DAD") are the song's most recognizable lyrics. The song is supposed to be a dialog between Ryuko and Senketsu her shirt.
The album version also has an uncredited rapper on it who is like, not that great.
can we discuss why like half the songs on the Kill la Kill OST have very, very similar titles?
we have "Kiryuu ha KILL", "KiLL a KiLL" "KiLLL la KiLL", "k1ll wa iLL", "Hiru La lill", "KILL 7la Kiru", "Kick=Kell", and "Ad la Lib" all on the same disc.

I think that Mako is officially my favourite character now.
Also, while I am not that far along, I am pretty sure that the Non-Athletic chair is the scariest person on the council. I mean, that skeleton puppet hat is totes some dead freshman.

Nonon? (I never remember her last name even though that's what everyone calls her)

I love the choices of female voice actors in this thing. There is not only a diversity to the casting, but some lower, rougher female voices of a sort that I don't hear much in anime casting. It's really nice. Actually, the casting overall is pretty ace: Very cartoony, but perfectly fitting each character and pretty effective in the shows rare moments of almost-subtlety.
^^^ I actually dread the dub if/when it comes out. They're going to have to find a lot of actors from both genders who can be bombastic without being annoying, and a lot of anime dubs have trouble finding even one or two voice actors who can do that.
Anime just like, straight up don't seem to get dubbed anymore. Space Dandy getting a simulcast dub left me incredulous.
I'd be shocked if Kill la Kill got a dub, although they made it work for Gurren Lagann, so I'm confident that if they did choose to do that, they could pull it off.
Nui is incredibly well written. Suffice it to say, she's my second least favorite character in the series.
^^ That is a very valid concern, but on the other hand, at least this is the sort of material that can be translated well without too much cultural confusion (some bits of the premise involving Japanese high schools aside). And really, I've heard more American voice actresses in that kind of range and style than Japanese. So depending on who's doing the casting for whom and who's translating it... this could work out poorly or extremely well.
^ It's a possibility. It isn't Attack On Titan-level popular, but it does have a following and a distinct (if demented) appeal.
I get the feeling the "star power" behind Kill La Kill might make it a profitable proposition to dub for somebody.
I'm also inclined to agree with what you say about the likelihood of a dub working out, Sredni. After all, the FLCL dub stands as an exemplar of properly dubbed anime bombast.
I also need to mention here that the way Nui is animated is irritating, which is a weird thing to be irritated by, but something about the mock-paper cutout style bugs the shit out of me, and I don't doubt it's intentional.
^^ The funny thing about the FLCL dub is that it does something that normally does not work well (to-the-letter carbon copy translation) and pulls it off incredibly. That's difficult and requires a rare sort of story... but one could probably do the same with Kill la Kill if so inclined. Alternately, some liberties with the wording would be welcome if they fit the spirit of the story, and that would be great, too.

it's like she's only superficially related to the world around her
which seems to rather accurately describe her mental processes

So, people over at SA were throwing around the idea of Nui being a Kamui, and user Pimpmust decided to roll with it.
Poor Satsuki.
I think you'll enjoy it. What episode are you on?
I am so zetta slow.
That might be said focus episode, actually? I'm not sure.
Anyway! I did a thing (thread contains spoilers, some marked, some not).
You are correct, however.
No major spoilers, but you may still want to use discretion.
It's like this weird growly thing that is simultaneously high pitched but gives the impression of being lower than it actually is
