Okay, whoever told me that Kill la Kill's males get scimpy clothing as well is a liar. I am at episode 10 and all the 3 star uniforms have been fully covering so far.
I find you can estimate a lot of the power levels of a KLK person by how skimpy their clothing is. The females of the show start out with higher level stuff so they end up showing more skin at the beginning, but by the end of the show pretty much everyone is showing it all off.

And yet "Naked Power" isn't unique to KLK but rather is pretty common in Magical Girl animes as a whole (For example both Cutie Honey AND Sailormoon had a naked powerup moment)

But they didn't have outfits that were more revealing than average lingerie.

Ohh I am referring to the moments in those series where the main character becomes completely naked and it is synominous to becoming extremely powerful.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying "ewww how non-unique kill la kill is" so much as saying "I wonder if it is a deconstruction of just that"

I did not think that and twas just friendly teasing. Buuuuut to continue the discussion, what you're describing is unrelated. KLK does have its own transformation sequence which ironically features less naked time than some magical girl transformation sequences as far as I can recall. (Admittedly that's partly cause the sequence happens pretty quickly since the show is about fighting instead of sparkles and so needs to maintain the pacing and tone). But yeah we're talking about the outfits they wear for the majority of the action.


Though I fell like I must point out to i2amroy to remind him that that rule kinda gets flipped on its head near the end of the show :P

So yeah, I'm with Furt here. The two really aren't comparable.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Hey that actually makes sense.

Also I am currently watching the 12th episode of Kill la Kill, and there was a great quote: "When people die from blood loss, they die."

To admit... this IS anime we are talking about... where blood loss is directly proportional to power.

The fact that they will actually die from blood loss is important information.
