Took you some time there, ANN.
Anyway, the new characters are looking great.
With the new info from Trigger's AX panel, this show has climbed even higher up on my hype-ladder.

Those aren't the main characters, they're the student council.

Wait, what new info? Did they say something important?

They're the main antagonists; I guess their role will be similar to the Kiraboshi Bosses (Scarlet Kiss, President, Professor Green and the like) in Star Driver.

But yeah, the title of the artcile is misleading; Ryuuko and Satsuki are the main characters.

Not really new info, just some hyping.

Yeah I was about to add they're more like the Generals from Gurren Lagann. Kiraboshi would be a better description, though.

They're definitely Kiraboshi; Nakashima explicitly said that the role of the Four Devas in KLK was going to be larger in KLK than it was in TTGL so I expect them to be around a lot more than the Gurren-Lagann Generals. Plus, they all seem to have a set of minions/followers like the Kiraboshi Divisions in SD.

ANN should still switch the title, people can get the wrong idea. There are only two main characters in Kill la Kill: Ryuuko is the protagonist, Satsuki is the rival.

..anybody who liked TTGL's over the top action will be extremely satisfied with Kill la Kill (he even made the claim that it was even more over the top).

Well, can't say they're not subtle about the EVIL. They're EVIL, don't you know? Including the ... short girl? ... with the ...marching band hat? ... that's adorned with wings .... and a skull?
Ok, fair enough; The 4 EVILs and the Cute.

I suppose that makes her a k-k-k-arma chameleon.


The only thing missing is the pointy teeth. My bet would be either Spyguy ninja or Spikey.

...are spikes coming from his head? Definitely Spikey.

Pray someone else gets it (I am partial to Funimation personally. A nice box is about all you get with Aniplex, and Funi's boxes for their LEs are actually nicer and priced to actually make sense). Anyway...

Still look forward to this show.

I love the character design, and the roles these enemies have according to their description. Already said it, but I can't wait to see this anime. Cool
