“Fuck authoritarianism”
Xavier Brown
KLK is above all the most extensive exploration of the dichotomy between chaos and order that is at the centre of all Imaishi's work, both in his stories and his craft.
While other works are either too goliardic and not interested to go in depth (Dead Leaves, PSG) or focus on lesser contingent aspects (Luluco's artistic manifesto of the studio, TTGL that is more Nakashima's child and leaves the topics care to Imaishi in the background), everything in KLK is service to this theme, exploring it though lenses both sociological, psychological, philosophical and stylistic. Every other theme, from family to identity to growth to community to evolving customs to commentary on japanese history to high school and adulthood satire, are all part, in function, and subordinated to this greater all encompassing frame.
It's even possible that Imaishi has exhausted the topic with KLK, which is way Luluco was a welcome change and leaves me curious for Promare next.
