She cut the costume with her scissor.

Wrong.

You can see her wearing the normal version of the outfit in the preview.

Yeah I didn't remember anything of the sort. Were you thinking of like, that cloak thing that she was wearing over it? Or the initial encounter with the uniform?

She quite clearly cut something when she met the costume.

It ate one of the threads from the boxer's uniform. I'm guessing that maybe it will get less skimpy as the show goes on, in an inversion of how it normally goes.

Not Three Laws compliant.

yeah. I'm figuring there'll be a mass slaughter of One-stars pretty soon that'll upgrade it into something more wearable in an everyday manner.

after all, if senketsu with zero goku threads absorbed can absolutely dominate a 2 star with no effort, an army of one stars has no chance

Next week is against another 2-stars, though.

Also, the Underwater group translated the name of the costumes as "Ultima Uniform" and that is a more accurate translation.

I say we should use that.

Bah. Senketsu is shorter and easier to pronounce.

And sounds more like a name that just happens to have a meaningful meaning.

Nah. 極制服 is the name of the thing and one part of this word means "Uniform".

The other one can either be 10 elevated to the 48th power or "climax; extreme; extremity; culmination; height; zenith; nadir"

Ultima Uniform is very appropriate.

Just watched. You can really tell the guys who made Gurren Lagann did this [lol]

Although I do agree things seem a bit rushed. On the one hand, this does match the show's lunatic atmosphere, but on the other hand, slowing down as time goes on might help establish some important details before Trigger inevitably breaks the throttle and shifts over to nitrous.

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

Although she hasn't wear it, but Student Council president appears to have her own version of senketsu, albeit, white with right eye instead on the left (on Ryuko's version). I guess we'll go through a bunch of these 2 stars elite mook before going onto the 4 mini-boss?

Observations from another forum:

A lot of people are talking about the gratuitous fanservice, but I think there's a bit more going on here. The show explicitly establishes that clothing = power literally and figuratively, while nudity is associated with weakness and defeat. The guy at the start is stripped and his corpse displayed naked, the villain calls the students 'pigs in human clothing' (suggesting that a person's very humanity is tied up in acquiring clothing), the plucky comic relief girl is crucified half naked and the boxer is stripped in defeat and killed. The Blue Demon suit then is a paradox — it's skimpy and humiliating to wear but actually more powerful than at least the two-star suits. How can this be?

Someone over on /a/ just suggested that it's a weapon designed to be used only for justice, the skimpiness making it impossible to interpret as a tool of oppression.

[up][up]

I think they implied that the suit is going to be an incomplete weapon and it gets better as it absorbs more threads from other suits and covers more.

[up][up]Best character at making an entrance, definitely. [lol]

Ryuuko has pretty much cemented her place as best character to me. But I more or less like everyone we've been introduced to so far.

According to a release picture, her shoulder pad will get bigger. Her modesty won't get covered up more though.

[up], If [up][up] is the release picture, it is much more modest than it was. It nearly meets actual dress codes!

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Just D Led the first episode. Judging by the gifs and shots of it I've seen so far, I'm not surprised people are already comparing it to TT Gl.

I did naht.
