Kill la Kill Debuts Today

  By jerry • October 3, 2013

Studio Trigger’s newest series, Kill la Kill, is about a school girl that is searching for her father’s killer. Armed with a sword called “the scissor blade”, her search brings her to a school where a group of students, who wear uniforms that give them superhuman powers, rule the other students through fear, intimidation, and worse. As you may have guessed, confrontation quickly ensues. Kill la Kill debuts today with English subtitles on streaming sites aniplexchannel, crunchyroll, and daisuki. Known for their hit Little Witch Acadamia, Studio Trigger’s newest effort promises to be an action packed tale.
