Inspirations: kill la kill, state shinto, and the reinvention of divine imagery. This rumination is why I fell in love with the series, and why I adore Kiryuuin Satsuki as a character, and as a representation of a tumultuous time in Japanese history. AND it’s also one of the best “f* * you” series of all time! Confused as to that last part? Let me explain a little bit. This will require a bit of a history lesson, so bear with me, I will try to keep this as brief as possible. Courtesy of AJ Martinsson.
