'''''[[Kill la Kill''']]'' (キルラキル, ''Kiru Ra Kiru'') is an anime television series that premiered in Japan between October 3, 2013 to March 27, 2014 and ran for 24 episodes, with a 25th OVA episode that was released in September 3, 2014. The series is [[Studio Trigger]]'s first original television anime project, directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima, both of whom had previously worked together on ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', and with character designs by Sushio. A manga adaptation by Ryō Akizuki began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace magazine from October 4, 2013.
 
''Kill la Kill'' is set at Honnōji Academy (本能字学園, Honnōji Gakuen), a fictional high school in Tokyo Bay set in post-apocalyptic Japan that is dominated by its fearsome student council, led by Satsuki Kiryūin. The council members wear special uniforms called Goku Uniforms (極制服 gokuseifuku, lit. high quality uniform, from gokusei + seifuku) that grant them superhuman abilities, which they use to oppress the rest of the school's students and staff. Ryūko Matoi, a student wielding half a scissor-shaped longsword, transfers to Honnōji Academy in search of the owner of the other half of the scissor blade, the person who killed her father. Defeated by the council after interrogating Satsuki over the killer's identity and whereabouts, Ryūko comes across a sentient sailor uniform she names Senketsu, who puts himself on Ryūko. Using Senketsu's special abilities, Ryūko stands up against Satsuki and her henchmen, the Elite Four (四天王 shitennō), to liberate Honnōji Academy from their iron grip and find out the truth behind her father's murder.
Line 17:
* [[Back-Alley Doctor]]: Dr. Barazo, Mako's father. Don't worry, [[Comically Missing the Point|he's killed more people than he's saved.]]
* [[Beam-O-War]] / [[Loud of War]]: How Ryuko ultimately defeats Jakuzure.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: "La" is a spanishSpanish article that must be used to refer to a female subject. Knowing this gives out that the killer Ryuko seeks is female.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Ryuko, quite literally. Her superpowered clothing is even powered by blood!
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Senketsu, Ryuko's ''clothing''. Even though it's uncomfortably intimate with Ryuko, and withholds its full power unless she fights half-naked, it's also fiercely protective, and would rather sacrifice itself than let her come to harm. It's actually quite heartwarming, in a weird way.
