10. Kill la Kill
https://myanimelist.net/anime/18679/Kill_la_Kill

It's somewhat difficult to fully explain what Kill la Kill is. The anime almost plays out like some sort of fan fiction complete with a tremendous amount of fan service, clothes being ripped apart, over the top fights, a like elite 4, school outfits literally called "goku uniforms", and the complete overuse and crushing of several anime tropes. The show is self aware of what its doing and the fan should be too so this is clearly something that is more for a seasoned veteran rather than a newbie.

The initial story is our main heroine, Ryuuko Matoi, is seeking out the other half of a giant scissor that belonged to her father as she's looking for clues into his death Armed with the one she has she challenges the school, but when she finds her power is not quite enough she eventually stumbles upon Senketsu, a school uniform that gives the wearer extraordinary abilities. Of course the story evolves as more is revealed and it gets weird at times. It just keeps getting bigger and more extreme. If you think that the anime is going to slow down and is out of twists, you are wrong.

The cast for the most part is small in terms of characters who are important and I'm really only going to talk about two of them. The first is Ryuuko who I think most everyone who watches the show likes. She has a type of tomboyish attitude, is brash, and generally takes things to extreme levels. She is also subject to a massive amount of fan service. The other is Mako. Mako is one of the more polarizing characters in the anime where she is basically a comic relief character in a show that is pretty much almost all high tension type comedy. She's very energetic so it should be fairly obvious I enjoy her. What's more is that you can genuinely see she cares for Ryuuko as a friend.

The fight scenes are great, some of the most exciting ones that are going to be on the list. The animation in general is impressive and the art style distinct. Like the way the show moves too is almost as chaotic as the story progression. Not always the cleanest thing, but it really catches your attention and makes you want to watch. The soundtrack is somewhat limited but just about every track that plays in it is a hit.

If you were a fan of anime like TTGL and have a decent anime resume behind you Kill la Kill is a must watch.
