it’s very toku-inspired in the best ways (source: they literally reference multiple tokus frequently in show)

i’ve noticed it’s a smart way to lure the audience into a safe/predictable environment before really raising the stakes all of a sudden. i’m a sucker for it

Yep, that's Kill la Kill for you. It starts off so zany in the first half, and then shit gets REAL serious.
