they turned fan service into PLOT
and the plot is better than 70% of other animes
they made a masterpiece plot out of fan service
The anime is like Dead Space. You have an alien that affected humanity's evolution in preparation to use humanity as food. These aliens, Life-Fibers, appear as fiber or clothing, and give the wearer a power boost basically, or special abilities. The more covered you are by them, the more they control you. They were dormant for centuries until the start of the show.
Basically the main character, Ryuko Matoi, uses a man-made life-fiber kamui named Senketsu, as well as giant scissor blades, to fight against the life-fibers.
That's all I can tell you without spoiling major events.
YOU ARE BREATHTAKING
I didn't realize it until my friend who loves Dead Space said it was about aliens who affected humanity's evolution until consumption, at which point they yse the planet as a seed to go to other worlds and repeat.
My weeb brain after his explanation could not help itself from thinking "this sounds like a horror Kill la Kill" and it all just clicked.
Uniform give power, but some special uniform suck blood and are very revealing (revealing just like high female armor in an MMO), the more you are ashamed to wear the armor the weaker it is, it was used as humoring MMORPG armors and fan services but it also means one of the message the anime want to spread is: Don't be ashamed of your body and be proud of who you are, don't care what people say about you.
At the end of the anime, the protagonist absorbs all life fibres that are left, leaving everyone nude... just... watch it if you want. Explaining it just makes it make less sense
On topic:
I remember certain designer said Fashion is a concept between the art of dressing and the act of undressing.
It's not from a fashion designer, but from an Italian journalist and novelist: Dino Segre "Pitigrilli" (1893 - 1975)
"Fashion is the struggle between the natural instinct to dress and the natural instinct to undress"
My favorite part of kill la kill is when ryuko and senketsu have to find that DAMN fourth chaos emerald to stop the life fiber ark.
But yeah its like gurren lagan staring Shadow the tomboy, so like a less whiney simon other then the occasional "this is who I am" and fewer robots.
