Both are outrageous series, with an over-the-top animation style and some ludicrous character designs. If you like one of them, you'd most likely enjoy the other.

The anime have very similar fast paced zaney action and over the top comedy. The art style and use of colours can also be thought to be similar. Definitely both are worth a watch.

They kinda have the same feel. The sequences are really fast. Both deal with "wrong" topics (such as dictatorship, death, fighting), but in a funny and careless way. The animation is great and singular. Both have a very particular, colourful, and enjoyable art. Lots of gags during each scene. Both have fanservice and sexy gags. Both are quite messed up, though Kill La Kill seems to have a plot to begin with. Overall strange but somewhat epic. If you enjoyed P&S, you'll love Kill La Kill.

The series that Kill la Kill truly reminded me of on the most consistent basis was definitely Utena. I saw so many elements of the first season of Utena in this series that it became a bit ridiculous - RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME that is! If you like the fighting aspect of Kill la Kill, than you are certain to enjoy Utena's duels. BONUS for you Touga fans - there is definitely a boy for you in this fantasy! ^_^

Kill la Kill and Space Patrol Luluco are very high action and animated by studio Trigger. A main character of Kill La Kill (Mako) is high energy, carefree, and simple and the main character in Space Patrol Luluco is also carefree and strives to be as simple as possible. Each story takes place in a sci-fi school setting and pulls the viewer in with it's unique art-style and diverse setting. If you enjoyed the high energy, simple comedy, and sci-fi twist in either show I'd recommend trying the other.

Both have over the top fighting scenes, post apocalyptic universe, fanservice and hilarious characters. The 'villans' are a group of four with a leader. Kill la Kill has Imayoshi's special touch in animation where as Needless certainly influenced by Gainax but not as crazy as Kill la Kill

Both are animated from studio Trigger and are being directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi. Over-the-top action anime that are being composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. If you enjoyed Kill La Kill, you should give Promare a chance

High level action, many powers, epic battles and several plot twist. Akame ga Kill's "imperial arms" are like Kill la Kill's "uniforms".

Same director , similar crazy style, full of dirty jokes and action-packed, in both main characters are fighting against some kind of opression - in DL it's the prison daily life, in KLK it's totalitarian school

Both shows have similar over-the-top comedy, weird super powers, transformations, some sort of secret organizations and hidden relations between people. Kill la Kill had ecchi elements despite not being of the genre, but Punch Line is officially ecchi.

So, there's this large-chested girl whose father got mysteriously killed by some mysterious people, which sets her off on a roaring rampage of revenge. Cleavage and retro, seizurey fight scenes ensue. If you like ridiculous, over-the-top, fanservicey (and fandisservicey) shenanigans, then this is what you've been waiting for your whole life. 
report Recommended by Keirik
Both shows are filled with relentless action and a lot of comedy moments. The fights are over the top and flashy as possible. Also fights defies any logic or physics laws. The common part of both show is a cast of colorful and meaningful characters. The biggest difference, however, is the amount of fanservice. KLK is full of it, while OPM has it really low.

Both are Studio Trigger original mystery/action series with absurd comedy and a teenage-female lead. 
report Recommended by Will_Bradley
Kill La Kill is overwhelmingly close to Project A-Ko, both acting as parodies of 80's anime and culture. With similar tone and characters, there is no doubt one influenced the other. The plot is often random and/or ridiculous, with no structure and constant action. There is plenty of fanservice and cheesy references.

GAR girls, fanservice, and over-the-top action describe both series perfectly.

A girl who has to fight against many strong and weird enemies at school, school which is controlled by harsh and stern headmasters. The protagonist became friends with a weak classmate, but she will get also alliance with strong characters, in order to beat the evil powerful mastermind. All of this with a rough drawing style, speedy action, and rapid pace.

Both by TRIGGER, storyboarded by Hiroyuki Imaishi and animated by You Yamashiro. Has striking similarities in animation, editing, as well as general art direction and both shares TRIGGER's wit, quick cuts, and clever humor. Both involves an underdog story with a female lead centered in an academy specialized in the peculiar (school uniform ability enforcement and witchcraft/wizardry) in which the main villain/conflict becomes apparent starting the latter half of the season. 
report Recommended by DimDito
The most obvious similarity comes from the fact that both shows put their own twist on the "mahou shoujo" genre. But while Madoka Magica explores this theme in a serious tone, Kill la Kill jumps around the comedy and parody territory, with some drama gems in between. Both have very unique art styles. The true main villans in both anime share a very similar goal and origin. Both have really intricate stories with lots of plot twists. The main diference is the pacing and overall atmosphere, Kill la Kill being more slap-stick comedy and ecchi, Madoka having a more well-paced story. Both were great shows to watch.

Both are Ecchi animes that have really good action where fanservice is used as a superpower, both are also really funny animes and are just a blast to watch.  
report Recommended by Jayage
Great shows chocked full of in-your-face sexual euphemisms and great action sequences. Both deal with self-expression and the desire to break free of societal bonds regarding sexuality. For your high-octane action needs, you have Kill La Kill. For a more somber, bittersweet series you have Darling in the FranXX.

Emotional! Intense! Amazing characters with an intense will to become something greater! Incredible way of manaigng the story and charismatic characters with a fully comical and very reliable sensis. Incredible but similar art styles, which flow amazingly with simple but very eye-candy animations.

Having the much alike backdrop of a divided Japan with different factions vying for more territory, it's quite easy to compare "Kill la Kill" to "Rolling☆Girls". To expand more on the setting, within both of their hierarchal societies, there exists leading combatants who don on costumes as well as standard uniforms for their subordinates. Additionally, the over-the-top nature in the action scenes of these two shows make them stand out from many other series. The lively colour palettes of both these shows also add to their seemingly randomness. "Rolling☆Girls", though produced by Studio Wit, is very reminiscent of a Studio Trigger production, as its

They both have: -2 great main characters with wacky personalities - A really fun animation style - A mix of being confused and baffled through most episodes - A pretty cool plot that doesn't make actual sense but is still pretty awesome - Awesome fight scenes with similar animation These two anime have a really similar feel and are both really fun to watch. If you like one I am sure the other you will enjoy a lot!

There are a few superficial similarity that can be drawn with both shows. One being that they both have a female antagonist being the top of a their respected school or academies. And also that their mothers have even more control then the daughters. In kill la kill, it could be argued that show's antithesis are fighting about clothes and fashion, while Shimoneta, they are fighting for the suppression of anything sexual or promiscuous. Also both shows are incredibly ecchi and lewd. They differ from being a fighting show and the latter strictly being a comedy.

Both have a crazy gainax inspired flare that is shown off in the extravagant fights and flashy characters

OP female MC enters a new school and challenges the students, one by one, making her way up the student council; Kakegurui's conflicts are based on gambling and mind games, whereas Kill la Kill's conflicts are based on fighting and determination, and also outwitting the opponent.

Both series include scantily clothed women, a girl with long black hair who berates the main heroine, a dysfunctional family, a helper character that you wouldn't expect to talk, transformation sequences, a female antagonist that wants to destroy the world, and a main character with odd hair.

- Over the top music - Over the top designs - Over the top art - Over the top actions - Over the top reactions - Over the top movement - High School setting Stylistically they're very similar, but they have very different plots and characters.

Both involve characters who spend their time fighting bad guys by using blade-like weapons. Both also include very absurd and raunchy humor, and really fun and great animation.

The series have similar artstyles (although Akiba's Trip is lower quality but still fine), both involve fights in which clothes play an important role, both deal with nudity although in unusual way despite being tagged as ecchi (due to the unusual artstyle), even the main antagonists have some things in common. Both shows are really enjoyable so if you liked one you might like the other.

While the stories are considerably different, I believe that if you enjoyed one, you will definitely enjoy the other. Both shows are concentrated fast-paced fun with a knack for over-the-top craziness. Another common element which immediately made me think of the other anime is creatively used ecchi. The shows use eye candy in a way that is usually appealing or at least excusable even to people who usually avoid it like a plague. Lastly, there's a similarity in the setting (school) and the rough plot outline (rising through the ranks to fight the main antagonist, an arrogant young girl).

A mixtures of calculative unique genre and plots would bring wonders to those who appreciate them which is what these series have accomplished. Some of the common similarities would be the use of blood to one's advantage, bizarre fonts in battle, and exceptional vibrant colours throughout the series. However, the most important aspect is the commendable 'idea' implemented in these series that have made them a success. 'Kill la Kill' has its story in motion way long before anyone noticed and blends in a variety of unique twist to keep you on the edge on your sits. Armed with crazy story settings in a slightly older

As different as they are visually and narratively, it's astonishing how many things these two series have in common. Both shows dress up a heavy story full of existential themes in extremely quirky and occasionally perverted comedy trappings, both have a penchant for rock music and flashy transformation sequences, and both are really well made and creative in general, knitting a lot of emotional ups and downs together into an impressive and convincing whole. If you love one, you're gonna love the other.

Very Exciting anime with a lot of action, comedy, and craziness A few episodes of Kill la Kill have a SOL feel to them Like Part 4 of JoJo and have Villain of the week formula although seen less often in Kill La Kill. Both have Exciting and fulfilling endings.

School setting with a very strong hierarchy and frequent battles? Plenty of fanservice and action? Characters screaming at the top of their lungs most of the time? You've got them all in these two anime.

Very similar tone, with a young driven female lead, with lots of comedy, action and a very similar animation style. Kill La Kill is a little more over the top than Deca-Dence but they are very similar and Deca-Dence definitely brings to mind a Studio Trigger animation.

Both have a lot of fan service. Both have a girl who is out for revenge against an authority figure. Both try to overdose on comedy. Lots of perverted, and cheesy jokes. The action scenes are pretty good, but sometimes either overdoes is or under does the action.

Both are action titles with main girl protagonist, who is kinda scantily dressed. This girl fight with second girl and have supernatural powers and guns, of course. In both we can see relationships like friendship between main girls. Those titles are both good and at the same level for me.

Similairites: + Over-the-top action with gradually upgrading weapons + The main protagonists are similar (though the protagonist of Nobunagun is kind of like a combination of Ryuko and Mako from KLK) + Strong friendship aspect Differences: - The settings are very different (KLK is an intense school setting, and Nobunagun involves an organization fighting on a global scale) - KLK has much more fanservice, but also better characters

Both are action series and have main leads who are fighting for JUSTICE while wearing super-uniforms. Both shows are aware of the cliches of their genres and mixed it through their episodes, creating random and chaotic conflicts in their story. Both stories are quite a trainwreck and have twists that might make you feeling "WTH" through the shows.

Main characters in both animes are tomboyish schoolgirls fighting with evil and injustice in schools they attend to. While their goals and motivations differ, these two characters also have in common one more thing, which is the usage of original weapons during many action scenes present in both shows (yo-yo in Sukeban Deka and clothes in Kill la Kill). In both animes the main character is a tomboyish schoolgirl fighting with evil and injustice in the school she attends to. While Saki and Ryouko

Black Fox and Kill la Kill have a similar premise. A girl seek justice against the murderer who kills her dad. Both series are set in a futuristic society where advanced technologies is widespread and can even grant or enhance super powers. Black Fox includes investigation whereas Kill la Kill is straight confrontation until the truth is revealed to the main character. Kill la Kill is arguably more entertaining.

Both are focused around high school and have a focus on comedy and lewd elements. Kill la Kill is more action based, while Prison School focuses more on characters.

Both series have brutal non-stop over-the-top fighting, are more like classic shonen than modern shonen, have a similar main protagonist (Ryuko Matoi and Jotaro Kujo) and main antagonist (Ragyo Kiryuin and Dio Brando), and have similar powers (Kill La Kill has Goku Uniforms and Kamuis and JoJo has Stands).

Protagonist is an angry avenger, the aim is to beat who killed the own father. The protagonist mainly uses a melee weapon against many enemies. Really epic fights, in a show where almost all are against the protagonist, who have mainly just one weak friend.

Both of these shows embody a trend prevalent (but not universal) in recent releases, highlighting a gulf between sexualisation and objectification. Despite being portrayed with sexual motifs, both female leads in these shows (Ryuuko in Kill la Kill, Kate in Sekai Seifuku) are wilful, determined characters who are never reduced to helpless plot devices. They can hold their own in a fight and are emotionally vulnerable without being subjected to typical feminine stereotypes (such as a hopeless infatuation with the male lead or an inability to cope with stressful situations). From a genre perspective, Kill la Kill is action-heavy and intense, being permeated with huge battles
