a5c7b9f00b A young girl arrives at a school of superhumans to find out the truth behind her father's murder. Honnouji Academy is forcefully ruled by the iron-fisted control of its student council and its president, Satsuki Kiryuuin. Transfer student, Ryuuko Matoi, arrives on campus carrying a giant sword, that is actually half of a scissor. She is looking for the woman who holds the other half of her sword who killed her father. It is said that Satsuki Kiryuuin knows the identity of the killer but when Ryuuko confronts her she is beaten by the student council and their powerful "goku uniforms" whom she cannot match in strength. However, once Ryuuko receives her own "Kamui" by the name of Senketsu , the odds are lifted in her favor. This series follows protagonist Ryuko Matoi as she joins the Honnouji Academy; a school dominated by head of the student council Satsuki Kiryuin; she rules with the help of the 'Elite Four'. They maintain discipline with an iron fist and transgressors are severely punished or even executed! Their influence isn't limited to the school; where a family lives is dependent on their child's status in the school. The senior pupils are able to dominate the others because of the 'life fibres' woven into their clothing; these give the wearers amazing powers. Ryuko however has her own special uniform; it is sentient and made entirely of Life Fibres; using this she plans to take on the ruling elite and ultimately discover who is responsible for the death of her father.<br/><br/>This series is over the top crazy that is the whole point of it! The fighting takes up most of the run time; amazingly each fight seems to be bigger than the last until ultimately it is a battle to save all of humanity! These fights are largely played for laughs although it is clear that the characters could get hurt and sometimes do. As the series progresses the plot advances nicely and there are some nice twists along the way. The costumes are fairly skimpy but the animation style means it is mocking fan service rather than pandering to it. This style is quite different to most anime; backgrounds are imaginative but less detailed and the movement is more frenetic than most series; this gives the show a western feel similar to that used in 'Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt'. As this seems to be one of the most talked about series of the moment and plenty of people are raving about it I'd definitely recommend checking it out even though I found it a bit too much at times.<br/><br/>These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles. I have to say, this anime was literally badass like i want to be Ryuuko's friend and have her badass cape (although i dont want a revealing suit and have a cape only power up for my blood lol). Seriously though I just love Ryuuko and her bad girl attitude, she's such a brillant fighter and can kick enemy's butt even well! Her scissor weapon was class too as well!<br/><br/>The anime can be pretty over the top too and does have its hilarious moments. I just love how Ryuuko's friend Mako puts herself into dangerous situations and makes such daft remarks about things that make you laugh your head off wuth confusion lol! As annoying as she may look and act, she has a good heart I suppose lol!<br/><br/>It's funny as well how there's so much nakedness on this and we don't actually get to see real genitalia which is kinda odd in a way. I'm not going to describe what you normally see in men and women's bodies as I don't want to get into deep do do with IMDB, but they are well hidden anyways! <br/><br/>Moving on, I just thought this anime was very entertaining that it won't leave you bored and make you skip a couple of episodes (which I normally do to not waste time).<br/><br/> I definately would recommend anyone to watch this although I would warn them if they don't want to see nakedness on this, to not watch it if they feel it'll make them uncomfortable. However I didn't really care, I just wanted to watch the action in this and it was not dissapointing!<br/><br/>This anime deserves a 8/10 from moi! :D
