Kill la Kill is a series that tells the tragic tale of one Ryuuko Matoi and her quest in search of her father’s killer. After entering into a prestigious high school, Ryuuko finds herself facing against the competitive hierarchy ruled by the powerful Elite Four, a group who gives certain students clothes called “Goku Uniforms.” Though Ryuuko ended up soundly beaten in a battle by one who wears such a uniform, she discovers a different kind of powered suit. With her own sentient and powerful suit “Kamui” by her side, this marks the beginning of Ryuuko’s path to the top and uncovering the mystery of her father’s death.

One of the main things that has the two on the same line-up is that they both an eccentric style of art to them and how much of an independant figure the main protagonists are. There are also the hierarchal ruling to take into consideration along with the fact that both protagonists ride motorbikes, seeing as it is part of the main themes of the series.

Here we have a rather wacky tale that tells a young boy and his wild ride of a journey into a world previously unknown to him. His name is Naoto Nandaba and he is a sixth grader who somehow manages to get himself into not so normal situations after a not so pleasant meeting with a pink haired, bass guitar-wielding psychopath by the name of Haruko Haruhara. Though the young boy wants nothing more than to live his life as normally as possible, such a wish is pretty much out of the question with Haruko around. Add to the fact that he has also been apparently dragged into a battle for supremacy and the idea of a normal life might as well be a dream for him.

FLCL is pretty much a much wilder and wackier version of Rolling Girls with a different setting to them. While FLCL has a more sci-fi take on things, both take on a battle for territory. In terms of art style there are some slight lines that can be drawn between the two. The fact that the main characters both having a motorcycle is a clincher for the two series. While FLCL doesn’t really focus on the idea of traveling and meeting new people it does take on the idea of adventure and the people learning new things and getting into different kinds of trouble.
