Kyousogiga – 06

Toei, I applaud you. This episode was once again amazing. Seriously, I’m really quite astounded: Kyousogiga is one of the very few series that gets just about everything right. Kill La Kill and Samurai Flamenco: I can both name issues I have with them. Kyousogiga: none whatsoever. You could say that some things make no sense, and here the first half of this episode comes and fills in some big gaps in the monk’s backstory so that it makes complete sense. With this, the plot has this amazing balance of explaining things, and leaving things up for interpretation.

The direction was also fantastic here. It even goes beyond Kill la Kill at this point, first with its use of facial expressions that get the most out of the non-verbal communication between the characters, and second because of how in the second half, it actually blended in the two fights that were going on masterfully, often showing them in the same screen but having one in the foreground, and another in the back. That’s something I have yet to see in anime.

Then, this episode did make use of repetition, but it did so in the good way: when you notice the repetition, things all make sense in terms of the monk’s backstory. The entire series has basically been doing that. The same goes for the music, I guess. There really aren’t that many tracks in Kyousogiga’s soundtrack. But they are all wonderful, and they are also used at the perfect times!

Last week was a recap, but I’d say for that: who cares? If that is this series’ solution for having only ten episodes, I’d say let it do that! It’s the first series in years that I’ve seen that actually tried to have a different number of episodes than 13/12, 25/26, the occasional Noitamina-length of 11 and 22 episodes or an infinite amount of episodes. It’s exactly as long as it needs to be, give or take 20 minutes or something.

I’m always keeping an eye out for new masterful directors to start showing themselves. And with Rie Matsumoto, Toei Animation has struck gold, but she’s also working with a wonderful team of animators. But yeah, so far anything she has touched became gold. Now we can only hope that she will keep this passion of hers, and keep landing jobs as a director. If she can, then she can make it really big. I mean, this show is the textbook example of what I look for in a great anime.
Rating: 7/8 (Fantastic)

  1. oh no Psgels! Last week was absolutely NOT a recap! And I really believe that it deserved to be watched!
    It’s a special in which 2 seiyuu go all around Kyoto and visit places that inspired Kyousogiga. It may sound silly (which isn’t the case), but I totally fell in love with Kyousogiga even more after the special, because it added a lot of depth to the background of Kyousogiga. And it’s a good special especially if you are interested in Kyoto history.

  2. That’s why you need to make sure you’re completing these because they reward you with coins, and you get a new one when you finish a mission. Chances are you’ve seen Bastion in a number of its different variations.

  3. All the development is made in a 3 Dimensional environment with every minor detail highlighted to add interest in the game giving an excellent experience overall. The German 21 side are broadly regarded as among the best on the planet, but exactly how are their FIFA abilities. There are several tournament options for one to choose from.
