Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann turned it up to 11; Kill la Kill takes things "one louder" (to quote Nigel Tufnel).
It is everything one could expect from the team who brought us Gurren Lagann. It presents a show about the bonds of friendship, and pursuing one's goals to the very end, against any and all odds.
Ryuko Matoi brings us a synthesis of Kamina and Simon, with Mako Mankanshoku as her companion (not quite Simon, but with many of his characteristics as a youth), as Ryuko faces off against Kiriyuin Satsuke and her assembled team of Super High School Student Council Members.
And there are very complex character interactions, as is common for Imaishi and Nakashima. The interplay between Ima Gamagoori and Mako Mankanshoku is an endearing and compelling interplay between the two.
The action is even faster and more chaotic than in Gurren Laggan, with some darker themes as well.
And, like Gurren Laggan, there are common jokes that run throughout the series, such as Mako's frenetic exposition during times of moral outrage at the wrongs of the world and people's behavior.
Invest the time in this show. Watch it more than once. The things you pick up on the second viewing will be worth it.
