Synopsis
The story is set on a high school that the student council president Satsuki Kiryuuin rules by force. Wielding a giant Basami scissors sword, the wandering transfer student Ryuuko Matoi brings about upheaval on the campus. Ryuuko searches for the mysterious figure who caused her father's death, but confronting her are the student council's "four divine kings." Fortunately, Ryuuko is aided by a talking sailor uniform who tells her, "Wear me. When I am worn by you, this power will become manifest."

Gainax is up to it's antiques again, and it seems this time they're more self-aware than ever. I wanted to watch it as objectively as possible, especially since it's Studio Trigger doing the actual animation, but I couldn't help but notice the setting city looks like a drill piercing the heavens, and the crazy almost lazy animations, and all those explosions. Classic Gainax stuff, and they enjoy it.
I've watched up to episode 8. So far as I can tell the super simple revenge tale seems to be introducing many other ideas.
And a lot of sexiness from the MC's outfit. I mean DAMN. Seriously.
I love the show, it's fun to watch. It's from two studios that I love, and it looks like I can look forward to lot's of epicness.
I'm finding it hard to present any further thoughts so I'll just say that I rate it a high 7 or an 8/10. But i'm leaning more to the 7. It isn't a masterpiece or jump-out-of-my-seat amazing, but with the degradation in entertaining anime these days it's a welcome watch.
