First Impressions: Kill La Kill

I started Kill La Kill today, and even though I haven't gotten the chance to finish it quite yet, I thought I'd share my first impressions with you since I have seen about five episodes at this point. I think the best way to sum up what I've seen so far is through gifs. Because pictures do not do it justice, and since it would be ridiculous to just post all the episodes on here, I'll give you the next best thing. 

So we start off with our main character Ryuko, a girl who has been going around to schools and starting fights so that she can learn who killed her father and find the missing half of her scissor blade. But she finally comes across Honnoji Academy, and meets the Empress, Satsuki, who she immediately has beef with, but I mean, it's justified, because you can just tell by looking at her that this chick knows some ish. 

It's here that she meets Mako, a plucky young girl who is super friendly and weird, but proves time and time again that not only is she a true friend but she will go out of her way to help someone out. 

I mean, I'm not kidding. Girl is weird as sh*t. But in a good way. 

This is how everyone gets ready for school, no?

Fortunately for me, I've learned that you should always wear your sexy panties. You never know when this could happen to you. 

Finally Ryuko comes across a uniform that was made by her father called a Kamui, that uses life fibers to enhance one's own powers as well as give them incredible ass kicking powers themselves. 

And who happens to be the one that is willing to tell her the most about her Kamui and her deceased father? Well none other than the pervy, secretly handsome homeroom teacher. 

Luckily, she's got Mako to keep her sane in the mean time right? Well maybe not, but she does house Ryuko, which is probably more helpful anyways. 

Who should challenge Ryoko, if not the captain of the tennis team. Scary, right? 

Comin' in clutch. Defending the bestie. 

And here, we learned that in order to unleash all the powers of a Kamui, you need to be chill getting almost completely naked, luckily no one there is chubby or ashamed of their bod. 

I kind of want a watch like that, like for real. Can someone give me one?

This is pretty much the lowdown of what happens to Ryuko every time she gives her uniform her blood and it gives her power. 

Now, obviously, I did miss some key elements in my recap of what I've seen. But that would spoil it too much for the people. And I only give out spoilers once I finish a show. On a more serious note, this show is still keeping my interest, so I'm definitely going to see this to fruition. 

Andi Watches: The Legend Of Korra Season 2

Now because I'm super amazing at this whole memory thing I thought that it would be time for me to review The Legend of Korra Book 2! Once again, there will be spoilers... I repeat, there will be spoilers, so read at your own risk.

Book 2: Spirits

We start out this season with the horrible fact that Korra and Mako are dating. Sorry, I hate Mako, and I don't think that Korra should be in a relationship, luckily this season we get to see Korra face the issue that she has to accept herself as just Korra as well as being the avatar, but that's not until the end, so she has a lot of mental hurdles that she needs to over come before she can even think of dating anyone, but that's a totally different story.

Korra has been reunited with her family and the rest of her water tribe because of the spirit festival that takes place every year, and we get to meet her uncle Unalaq, a real beaut... just kidding, but no he pretty much hates his brother, aka Korra's father, since he opened the spirit gate in the Northern water tribe and got kicked the f out of there. Claiming that the Southern water tribe was not as in tune with the spirits as they should be he makes it his goal to show Korra how to be the bridge between human and spirits so that they can once again live in harmony.

Eventually, when Korra does her thing where she thinks she's been sheltered and needs someone else to teach her how to be a better avatar, she sides with Unalaq who then takes her to the spirit gates and has her open them, spoiler alert: that's a horrible idea! Throws the whole world out of wack, but I mean what's done is done and all that is left to do is save the world.

I was also really vibin on the whole Tenzin and Jinora conflict since she is more connected to the spirit world than her father and therefore the only one that is able to successfully guide Korra through the spirit world, BOOM, Jinora swag! I seriously loved the story of the first avatar Juan, and his own personal battle with keeping the spirits in harmony with the rest of the world, only for Korra to later find out that she thinks he made a mistake in closing the gates.

However, I would have to say that the most shocking moment in the entire season is when Korra loses her connection to all the past avatars and resets the cycle! LIKE WOW!! I did not see that coming and I loved every minute of it, because that is the one thing that I really love about Korra, that she is so powerful and not afraid to cause change, don't get me wrong I loved Aang, but he was a little too passive for me, I really like a character that is not afraid to make sh*t happen even if the process is scary, but the outcome will be amazing!

Also, the battle between Raava and Vaatu was super epic, just when we thought Korra was done for, BAM Jinora out of left field to give her Raava's spirit, so clutch. And of course Korra was victorious. Not to mention she made the decision to leave the gates open so that spirits could roam freely in the human world and vice versa. Also, a whole new generation of air benders was born and I could not have been more excited for Bumi! Finally he has his own bender powers. But is the city ready for all the change that is about to come about from Korra's epic decision?? Probs not, but that's a different story, actually it's a whole new season, so I'll be talking about it next week.

In conclusion: highlights- Korra's new self awareness that she herself is still an amazing person, the fact that Korra and Mako break up, and Bumi's new bending power. Disappointing parts: Unalaq turns evil, the spirits make a mess of the city, and Jinora almost dies which makes Tenzin super depressed which I did not care for.

But seriously you guys need to watch this show, I cannot say that enough. Stay tuned till next week when I talk about book three: change.

September Shipping: Tumblr Challenge, Question 4, "Who's your NOTP?"

NOTP Mako x Korra

NOTP Mako x Asami

Mako

I don't trust anyone with bad eyebrows. Mostly Mako. I mainly don't trust Mako.

 I still think Korra hasn't finished going through her own personal transformation, figuring out who she is, independent of her identity as the Avatar. She'll need to come to terms with who she is before she even thinks about pursuing her romantic endgame (not that she even needs one).

The first two seasons definitely didn't do it for me in terms of romantic pairings. Nothing seemed to fit right and honestly their relationship(s) seemed forced. Plus, Asami kinda got dragged through the mud a lot in their wrongity-wrong, so wrong love triangle, and I believe she deserves way better. 

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm just not down with pointless love triangles and relationship drama. But actually. We ain't got time for this! There's too much at stake and the world needs the Avatar!
