With growing popularity of anime, most streaming platforms have updated their catalogue with the availability of the latest anime titles. A single show can be found on different websites, which at first seems like a good thing but isn’t really. Especially when you consider that sometimes a show could be scattered across platforms.Kill la Killwas first released in 2013, and to this day, the anime enjoys a dedicated fanbase and substantial popularity across the world.
Despite the demand, it’s nearly impossible to watch the entirety of the show legally. This problem isn’t unique toKill la Killbut it highlights a key reason behind the persistence of piracy.
The Charm ofKill la Killand Its Unavailability Online
Studio Trigger’s first original anime,Kill la Killis a fun mix of action and amusing bits. A classic shonen with a female character as the protagonist. While that alone is enough to pique the interest of many fans, the anime has a lot to offer. The writing is clever, and the fights are adrenaline-inducing. There’s a good amount of fan service as well, but it contributes to the storyline, which makes it less questionable but problematic nonetheless. With its flaws,Kill la Killis still a must-watch for shonen fans who just want to have a great time.

The anime is listed with twenty-four episodes and an OVA episode, which is also considered the twenty-fifth episode of the series. The story of the anime wraps up by episode 24, but the OVA serves as the proper epilogue. Kill la Kill is availableon Crunchyrolland other platforms, but only up to episode 24. There’s no way to watch the episode legally online, besides the Blu-ray.
The Vicious Cycle of Piracy
Kill la Killshows that even after investing in streaming platforms, fans are unable to watch their favorite shows. For fans, the unavailability of the final episode is off-putting. The episode is impossible to find online, so much so, that some fans aren’t even aware of its existence.
Not a single streaming site got that episode? Damn. 😭
You mean to tell me I never actually finished Kill la Kill in 6 years since my first watch? 💀
i didn’t even know about this, i also wanna bring up just all the stuff aniplex has that is not on any streaming services. (madoka movie, bunny girl senpai movie, saekano movie. there’s prolly more out there and these are crucial parts to the shows they from)
There is also no legal way to finish bakemonogatori all the way through
There’s a 25th episode? No shot I just missed that all this time. Definitely gonna yo ho ho that shit
The OVA episode ofKill la Killnever aired officially, which might be the reason behind its unavailability. However, this problem is not limited toKill la Kill. Many popular anime are scattered across different streaming platforms. As fans mentioned, that theBakemonogatariseries is impossible to find at one single place, even some episodes ofOne Pieceare also missing. For instance, different parts of theGundamseries are available on a variety of platforms. There’s no way to watch the entire series with a single subscription.
