But it's very much a show with GREAT standalone episodes and Ryuuko and Senketsu are GREAT central protagonists who honestly deserve a much better show to star in.

I'm going to strongly disagree.

Kill la Kill is basically Gurren Lagann if Trigger could just go all out with it. Its plot in nonsensical yet easy to follow and engaging, its characters are all colorful and interesting, its scope constantly increases as time goes on, shifting gears halfway through, it has fun with its pacing and tone by mixing serious moments with humorous moments, its animation can be just as fantastic as it can be wacky, its soundtrack is wonderful, its acting is great, etc, etc, etc.

Is it a victim of being over-hyped? Yes. Just like SAO or Attack on Titan. Though in Kill la Kill's case most of its hype comes from the fans who are excited to see where it's going to go and how crazy things are going to get, which is warranted IMO.

Honestly, you have to watch the show for yourself. It's serious/slapstick tone is mostly constant throughout the series, so if it doesn't grasp you by the first few episodes then don't bother continuing.
