Kill la Kill
Ryūko Matoi (Ami Koshimizu) is looking for her father's killer when Ryūko's search brings her to Honnōji Academy, a high school controlled by student council president Satsuki Kiryūin (voiced by Ryōka Yuzuki) and Ryūko is forced to start an upheaval to get the answers she wants. Satsuki is rumoured to know the identity of the murderer that Ryūko is searching for but when she tries to beat the truth out of Satsuki all Ryūko receives is a crushing defeat. To find the truth and liberate Honnōji Academy from Satsuki's iron grip Ryūko must now team up with a possessed school uniform named Senketsu and work her way through Satsuki's four "divine kings" who are Public Morals Club committee chair Ira Gamagōri (Tetsu Inada), Exercise Club control committee chair Uzu Sanageyama (Nobuyuki Hiyama), Intelligence Strategy Club committee chair Hōka Inumuta (Hiroyuki Yoshino), and Culture Club control committee chair Nonon Jakuzure (Mayumi Shintani).
Kill la Kill is an original anime from Studio Trigger (Little Witch Academia) that premiered on MBS Tv in Japan on the 3rd of October. Studio Trigger consists of several staff from Gurren Lagann including director Hiroyuki Imaishi (Dead Leaves, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt), series script supervisor/writer Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann, Nodame Cantabile: Finale, Re: Cutie Honey) and character designer Sushio (key animator/animation director on Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt).
Akira Amemiya served as assistant director and Shigeto Koyama directed the art with set designer Yoh Yoshinari. Hiromi Wakabayashi is credited as "creative officer" and Hiroyuki Sawanois scored the soundtrack. Miku Sawai contributed the ending theme song "Gomen ne, Ii Ko Ja Irarenai." Aniplex of America revealed in August 2013 that it has licensed the series for release on home video and simulcast online streaming, Aniplex has since started releasing the series on DVD and Blu-ray from July 2014.
Madman Entertainment originally acquired Kill la Kill back in September 2013, however they had to stop the telecast available through the Madman Screening Room due to Madman's servers being illegally access and episodes being distributed as a result.
Madman will release the first volume of Kill la Kill on DVD and Blu-ray on the 15th of October 2014.
