Title: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 2 December 2007, 23:35:44 Best anime ever, it's overloaded with epic lulz. Has anyone seen this? I know CV has.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!? WE ARE MMM!" Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 2 December 2007, 23:37:25 Yuh. I'm watching Episode 19 right now. I've never been this excited since I started watching Haruhi.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 2 December 2007, 23:43:15 Can't watch anime anymore. Can barely watch North American cartoons without getting angry at crap animation.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ASR on 2 December 2007, 23:45:06 LET'S SEE YOU DO BETTER, MIKE
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 2 December 2007, 23:46:54 Can't stand it or the hype that follows it, honestly. I can't wait till it's old news so everyone'll shut up about it finally. >_>
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Abominator on 2 December 2007, 23:47:29 Never heard of it, but I could never watch anything called that.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 2 December 2007, 23:49:02 Never heard of it, but I could never watch anything called that.I thought the same thing, especially when I saw that all the mechs have giant faces.. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 2 December 2007, 23:49:35 LET'S SEE YOU DO BETTER, MIKE I do it daily, actually. You have no idea how crudly made shows are until you're in this. Except Avatar, which costs at least double each episode compared to a normal show, and wether you like it or not (I do) it is animated excellently. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Lunchebox on 2 December 2007, 23:53:43 Avatar is a pretty damn good show. I stay away from Anime now, myself.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ASR on 3 December 2007, 00:45:43 I was joking, Mike, and I'm sure you do. I know what you mean, though, or at least understand what you're saying. I'm sure you start seeing and nitpicking every little nuance or animation problem.
I've wanted to get into Avatar, but I don't have the time. All I hear about it is how good it is. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 3 December 2007, 00:51:25 You all suck. Gurren Lagann is amazing, everybody that watches it will love it. As depicted in this picture.

Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 3 December 2007, 01:06:29 And I'm sure I'd care if I actually... cared. No really. The show isn't great. It's not even that good.
The Super Robot shows of today are seriously lacking. That and Real Robot is superior. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 3 December 2007, 01:11:18 It's an amazingly huge step from the giant robot animes, especially G-Seed/Destiny. Well, it's all a matter of opinion, if you ever get the urge, go watch it on Youtube.
Get the urge. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 3 December 2007, 03:38:39 It's an amazingly huge step from the giant robot animes, especially G-Seed/Destiny. Well, it's all a matter of opinion, if you ever get the urge, go watch it on Youtube. *cough* SEED/Destiny is uncompariable actually. You don't know much about Mecha do you? Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a Super Robot show. SEED/Destiny is Real Robot. Totally different spectrums, that's why I don't care for it for the most part. Then I also found out it more or less betrays most Super Robot shows aswell, being some kinda weird thingiemajig. I don't even like Super Robot shows, so I doubt I'll bother with a knock off of the genre too. >_> Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 3 December 2007, 03:52:38 *cough* SEED/Destiny is uncompariable actually. You don't know much about Mecha do you?It doesn't matter if it's a "real" robot show, it's a cartoon. So why should someone care if it's some kinda weird thingiemajig? If you don't expect something from a series, don't watch it. :\ The reason I thought Seed/Destiny was crap was because it was too damn touchy feely, I don't give a crap if they'res teenagers in war and they need affection, the only affection I want is something with a knife and gun. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Slugkid on 5 December 2007, 19:48:29 Is that "WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?!" thingy both you and chaos have below their pics at profile from this anime, WIND?
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 December 2007, 19:50:56 Yup. Occasionally reworded to "Who the hell do you think I am!?" or "Who the ##### do you think I am!?"
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 5 December 2007, 19:51:51 WHO DO YOU THINK I AM KIIIIIIIICK!!~
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 5 December 2007, 23:17:02 Dude, nobody listen to Ares, I just got him to start watching it last night, he'll come around soon enough.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 6 December 2007, 02:50:33 Dude, nobody listen to Ares, I just got him to start watching it last night, he'll come around soon enough. Nope. Not yet. I bet I'll end up not liking it. >_> Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 7 December 2007, 00:40:25 Well watch it... Or get on Skype... Or kick SB's booty off of WoW, friends don't let friends play WoW.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 8 December 2007, 14:41:38 *cough* SEED/Destiny is uncompariable actually. You don't know much about Mecha do you?It doesn't matter if it's a "real" robot show, it's a cartoon. So why should someone care if it's some kinda weird thingiemajig? If you don't expect something from a series, don't watch it. :\ You are officially an idiot. One, you don't even know the difference between Super and Real, do you? I like Real Robot because it's usually set in a form of warfare with technology and logical weapons. You watch things for action and overacting characters with over the top abilities I assume. You probably watch godawful ##### too, like DBZ. Secondly, I'd like to see you get tossed into a war at a young age. Being someone who knows what it's like to have to fight for your life on a daily basis... I can atest "somewhat" to that myself. I've had enough near death experiences and being forced to defend myself countless times... sometimes with very very negative side-effects, especially on my psyche. So no, I doubt I'll ever respect your opinion ever again, since you are like every other dumbass who casually talks about actual serious subjects as if they are nothing, just the same, "people like you" also happen to have gone through next to ##### in their lives and amount to nothing, as the typical human trash that we are forced to associate with on a regular basis. It's either people are overly emo these days, or utter jackasses you think it's "cool" to be insensitive. Incidently, my son, I watched episode one. I regret to say, but I wanna see episode 2 and 3 atleast to see where this is going. It wasn't half bad. Not enough Loli though. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 8 December 2007, 17:40:30 Don't worry, there's Loli when Nia shows up, or at least she's Loli till the time skip.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 8 December 2007, 17:44:02 Don't worry, there's Loli when Nia shows up, or at least she's Loli till the time skip. Time skip makes Ares sad. Oh well. Episode 6. Shows pretty damn decent, I may have been wrong about it. Still hate the fans though. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 8 December 2007, 18:05:48 But, don't we all hate Anime fans?
It's okay to like something even if you don't like the other people who like it. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 8 December 2007, 20:13:37 Ares is even more sad now. Episode 8.
Yeah. ;_; Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 8 December 2007, 21:14:10 Yay! I made Ares like another show!
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 8 December 2007, 21:20:32 Yay! I made Ares like another show! Rejoice my son, it is a good show. I still don't say it's all the hype but it's good in it's own right. It's just... episode 8 man... the series just won't be the same now. ;_; Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 8 December 2007, 22:04:35
Actually in a way yes I do, I watch things that match my interest and Seed/Desitny did not, no I don't watch stupid things just because they have action and overacting characters, you're being biased just because I like this one show and don't like the other. I really don't see how all of this "technological warfare" and logical weapons etc. in the shows can really help me see. I'll stick with learning about what actually goes on in real life thank you. Secondly, I'd like to see you get tossed into a war at a young age. Being someone who knows what it's like to have to fight for your life on a daily basis... I can atest "somewhat" to that myself. I've had enough near death experiences and being forced to defend myself countless times... sometimes with very very negative side-effects, especially on my psyche. So no, I doubt I'll ever respect your opinion ever again, since you are like every other dumbass who casually talks about actual serious subjects as if they are nothing, just the same, "people like you" also happen to have gone through next to ##### in their lives and amount to nothing, as the typical human trash that we are forced to associate with on a regular basis. Once again you are being biased, thinking you know what I've gone through. I'm not saying I've gone through a lot, I've gone through just about as much as a regular teenage has. So, just because I don't like seeing the "wars" and "emotional" crap doesn't mean I don't care for the wars that are going on right now, infact my friend is about to go to war, I don't want him to go but if it helps him defend his country so be it. You're the dumbass for thinking all of this, stop being so #####ing over emotional. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 8 December 2007, 23:36:15 Yay! I made Ares like another show! I know man, Kamina was so awesome, but don't worry, he appears again later, and not just in some lame flash back. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 9 December 2007, 03:58:47 Hawaiian-shirt-wuss Kamina FTL : (
And it's good to see you like the series Ares. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 9 December 2007, 04:32:38 Yeah, but the real one comes and kicks his ass.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Zenaku on 9 December 2007, 04:37:42 GL = character development WITH super robot elements
You'll get over the constant boners for it. I hope :( Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 9 December 2007, 05:25:18 I remember when I first got into the anime. I said "Kamina is getting cooler by every episode!"
WIND replied: "You poor, poor fool..." After watching episode 8, I paused the video and yelled: "GOD DAMN YOU WIIIIIIIIND!!" Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 9 December 2007, 05:56:25 Then you should act accordingly to what you really think. Over emotional, perhaps, but emotions are all humans really have going for them in the end. Emotions is what makes us interesting and I happen to have very strong ones.
As such, I take emotions very seriously. Where you see "just a cartoon" I see another world, a place of equal standing of our own. My mind works differently from yours, so just the same you cannot have assumptions that someone might not take offense to your words aswell. Alas, I have no further reason to argue with you. You proved my point at more than one point and also equally called me on an error of mine, so I'll simply call this a draw, for your sake and the sake of this topic. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 9 December 2007, 06:43:44 In other news, the worst part about Kamina dieing is that Simon turned into a whiny, little emo with a bizare obsession for making carvings of Kamina.
Has anyone noticed anyone Yoko kisses dies shortly after? Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 9 December 2007, 07:52:05 Yeah, and just when Kittan was begining to seem as awesome as Kamina. Oh well, that one part was probably one of the most epic of them all.
[spoiler]His death scene[/spoiler] Alas, I have no further reason to argue with you. You proved my point at more than one point and also equally called me on an error of mine, so I'll simply call this a draw, for your sake and the sake of this topic. If you'd like we can go ahead and PM each other, because I'm not gonna let an arrogant jackass get away with thinking they're so much better than someone else just because he doesn't share the same lifestyle. Let me clear a few things up, I don't know much about mecha anime, I don't even see that as a bad thing because I could care less. I see anime and cartoons for what they are, cartoons, and while they do have some truth in them, they're still cartoons to me, they may be different for you, and that's cool, think what you want about it I'm not complaining, I don't like all of that drama in Seed/Destiny, plain and simple. You then say I'm an idiot for this and say I don't know the difference between "super and real", and biasedly say I care for stupid action and flashy lights, FYI theres plenty of things I like in a series that don't involve explosions and death, big surprise! You then tell me I have #####ty opinions and compare me to "human trash", like I said before, that's really biased because you can't really tell jack ##### about me from my posts. So please don't compare me to the humans out there that think that way, because that makes you yourself seem like human trash for having such prejudice thoughts. Which brings me to one major question Aresian.. WHO THE ##### DO YOU THINK I AM!? Sorry, I'm being serious, but I just had to put that in because of this topic. So now that I cleared a few things up about myself, I'm sure we can manage to understand each others opinions and thoughts. If we can't, well then that's too bad. And I'm sorry for ranting on like this, didn't want to spoil this topic with a random flame war. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Aresian on 9 December 2007, 13:52:36 Actually, that's the whole point of what I said in my previous post. None of that was necessary since I was done.
Alas, I suppose it is fair for someone to get in their last 2 cents on the matter, so I'll simply take what you said and leave it at that. Though, truth of the matter, I started arguing with you on a day with no sleep, so I probably didn't even provide a decent arguement. XD Oh well, never the less, arroganct jackass... interesting. Do I think I'm better than everyone? Hardly, most, maybe... but then, I've been jaded to feel that way due to the scum around me. Oh well, life will continue to go on, with or without. *shrugs* I'll have to refrain from the rest of this topic however, to avoid spoilers. *glares at Sano* Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 10 December 2007, 03:15:53 Blah, whatever.
Just finish it. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 10 December 2007, 04:45:41 Anyways.
(http://www.ncsxshop.com/images/products/large/1007/tengen_toppa_ds.jpg) ##### YEAH. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 10 December 2007, 05:18:38 Well, it's better than the Gurren Lagann PC game that killed entire computers.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Zenaku on 11 December 2007, 05:50:46 literally fell asleep playing that game
LITERALLY. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 11 December 2007, 05:53:21 Yep. I just got it as well, it's quite repetitive, and hard to understand..
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: MOX on 11 December 2007, 07:06:45 I never seen the series but that robot reminds me a lot of Mazinger or the like. >______>
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 30 December 2007, 16:26:43 I got the urge to watch the first episode, so I did.
It's neat. This thread spoiled some major crap for me though. I'll watch 2+ later. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 30 December 2007, 17:22:36 I still haven't watched episodes 26 and 27. I'll get around to it.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 30 December 2007, 20:34:53 Somebody said something about it being like FLCL is style, and as I watched the ending credits I noticed it was made by GAINEX, who also happened to do FLCL.
This anime just got even better by being made by them. Posted on: December 30, 2007, 03:15:50 PM WHO DO YOU THINK I AM KIIIIIIIICK!!~Friggin lol. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 December 2007, 00:23:48 Sorry I didn' catch a new reply man! JOHN WINS NAO!
All of you aren't as cool as JC here until you start watching. He's superior to y'all. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 31 December 2007, 18:10:31 Episode 8 was beautiful. I'm almost crying right now.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 December 2007, 18:50:51 I didn't cry on episode 8.
... Episode 9. [spoiler]Damn Youtube thing stopped loading and the video paused in silence right when Simon said "If only my bro was here...". Hit me right there.[/spoiler] Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 31 December 2007, 21:09:08 Use Veoh.
They have high quality stuff right there. Posted on: December 31, 2007, 02:07:55 PM Except, I can't find episode 10 anywhere. At all. Anybody know a good place? I tried Veoh and Youtube, and tried downloading the file off 'animestash' but I don't have an mp4 player. If somebody can find a good streaming video or .mpeg or .mov file, I'd be very grateful. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 December 2007, 23:11:19 Use VLC Johnay.
And I'm donwloading everything from Animestash, when I do, I'll upload it privately for all y'all. *sniff* cuz i luv u guys!!!!1 Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 1 January 2008, 00:07:11 OHMYGOD I forgot how amazing versiontracker.com is for old systems, you can find the obsolete versions of everything for obsolete computers!
...for Macs.... Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 1 January 2008, 01:35:45 I've begun the uploading on youtube, I still have to check if it runs well without laging, if all goes well, the first couple of episodes will be uploaded today. : D
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 1 January 2008, 02:09:44 NEATO!
I FINALLY got a really old version of VLC (from 05) and am now watching the episodes from animestash.info , though it's the only thing my computer can handle. All 600MHZ into pushing that video. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 1 January 2008, 02:43:31 How odd, I can't upload the videos, it says it's too long. Even though I split them into 3 8 minute parts ;_;
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 1 January 2008, 02:58:17 D:
GAY. Well, the giga drill breaker is awesome both times I've seen it. I'm up to 13 now, and my VLC player is much more stable now (didn't crash a single time for the whole episode, just froze for a few seconds here and there). Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 1 January 2008, 03:17:53 You really need a new computer..
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 1 January 2008, 05:57:26 NO CRAP, I can't even watch it full screen, only 1.5x the regular size, until it gets bad.
It's good enough though. I'm downloading 14 now. 13 was decent, Simon is getting more badass by the minute. ALSO, that spoiler video you posted earlier, I can see where Viral is going now. Is it me or does he sound like Link when he's doing one of his attacks? When I first heard him attack Kamina in episode 3 (I think) I hoped he would sound like Link after I heard him initially. Posted on: December 31, 2007, 10:46:44 PM Episode 16 was pointless, why didn't somebody tell me to skip it? It's ONLY a summary. I figured there might be something neat in there, but nooooo. Time=more wasted than DZX9 and Mikero combined right now.. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Zenaku on 4 January 2008, 02:56:20 Links VA = Virals VA
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 9 January 2008, 20:00:17 No friggin way.
Seriously? If so, no wonder... Viral= Link with a hoarse throat. Cool. Posted on: January 03, 2008, 10:01:50 PM Ha, I get it now. VG Cats Gurren Lagann (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=248) Posted on: January 04, 2008, 06:11:30 PM So, I'm on 20, and I HATE Rossoiu or whatever it is. What a dousche. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 9 January 2008, 20:11:17 Yeah, by that time, everyone that watched it, hated him as well. He gets what he deserves though.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 9 January 2008, 20:22:45 [spoiler]Emo Rossiou is emo.[/spoiler]
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 10 January 2008, 00:04:23 I REALLY hate being 3/4 of a way through an episode on Veoh and the video is deleted.
*sad* Posted on: January 09, 2008, 04:17:12 PM I'm up to 24 now. [spoiler]HOLY SHIP HUGE FRIGGIN SHIP FROM THE MOON WAS AMAZING![/spoiler] This was hilarious. I fell out of my chair laughing, a literal rofl. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 10 January 2008, 00:07:05 He has boobs instead of eyes, an x-belly button for a nose, and a saggy vagina that's supposed to be a tongue?
I don't see what you like about this show. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 10 January 2008, 00:22:13 Oh, it was a split second shot.
I find it hard to not like... If you EVER get a straight 15 hours of free time and you're bored, watch the whole series. Wait... nevermind, you'd hate it. No offense, but I realize that some animation in it is not awesomely cool, but it's decent. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 10 January 2008, 00:26:09 I can get past bad animation if the show is good. Like Home Movies, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
If you EVER get a straight 15 hours of free time and you're bored, watch the whole series. So April/May. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 10 January 2008, 01:10:47 Or 8 feet of snow that doesn't shut down the power or internet.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 10 January 2008, 01:23:51 It's been raining the past couple days, so our snow is going which I'm SO happy about. It was really high though, so there's still a lot left. But man, just this past Sunday my jeans where riddled with salt stains at the bottom, but now there's so much less.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 10 January 2008, 01:25:08 Stop whining and watch the damn show Mike. Damnit, I almost got excited when I saw you posted here.
GODAMNIT. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 January 2008, 01:59:52 Your epectations are too high. Try lowering them.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 10 January 2008, 02:13:18 Hell, we had 3 feet of snow total in untouched areas and with it being 55 yesterday and raining at 45 today it's damn near all gone.
This week has been like March. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 10 January 2008, 02:19:48 Stop whining and watch the damn show Mike. Damnit, I almost got excited when I saw you posted here. A) No time. B) No sound on this computer. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 11 January 2008, 03:51:08 Just finished it.
Rediculous, biggest mech battle ever. [spoiler]Galaxies were used as friggin throwing stars. wtf.[/spoiler] Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 11 January 2008, 03:54:26 I'm not watching this show.
Because I don't bother watching most animes. :D Although, I AM going to attempt to watch Evangelion now... A rare thing for me to want to willinly watch an anime. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 11 January 2008, 04:51:27 Do it. And then watch this.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 11 January 2008, 04:54:30 Evangelion is for 4 year old girls.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 11 January 2008, 04:55:07 SO IS U!
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 11 January 2008, 04:58:10 I know, I constantly have to tell them I don't like little girls.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ASR on 12 January 2008, 04:10:54 Evangelion is art. And I'm a VERY tough critic, and an avid anime hater.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 12 January 2008, 04:18:59 I heard it gets more and more bat##### crazy since the guy had a nervous breakdown while making it but they just let him go with it.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 12 January 2008, 04:22:52 Yeah I heard that too. I've really been meaning to get more information on that, I'm a big fan..
But really, I would spazz out too if I created that brain raping masterpiece. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 12 January 2008, 04:25:00 Seen only four episodes so far (tch. And in Japanese. Oh well...) but it doesn't seem so brain raping...
Though, the first thing I thought when I saw that eye in episode two was "VagEYEna Man" Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 29 May 2008, 16:57:42 I just rewatched the whole series from beginning to end.
I still get tingles. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 29 May 2008, 21:08:32 I've YET to finish it.
WHEN WILL I EVER. DAMN I'M SO LAZY. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 29 May 2008, 21:21:26 Theres going to be a movie soon, but it's just episode 1-15 remastered and junk. Like the new Eva movies that are out.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 29 May 2008, 22:44:33 CV, need some linkage to all the episodes? (http://www.bleachexile.com/multimedia/tengen-toppa-gurren-lagann-anime-downloads/)
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 29 May 2008, 22:47:28 I'm watching episode 2 now.
It's... different. But I don't know if I like it or not yet. I'm not really into Mecha. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 29 May 2008, 22:50:49 I think you'll enjoy it.
When you finish, I doubt you'll regret watching it. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 May 2008, 20:03:37 I have a great place to download them, all in excellent quality and the BEST subbing. The name of the site is a little misleading, so I stay inside that one download page.
Here (http://daiphyer.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19448) Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 04:36:12 *clicks link and looks at title*
HELLO! Do you really think you should be linking to that? Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 1 June 2008, 04:44:19 He said it's a little misleading. >_>
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 04:58:06 Exactly, and I explored and was mislead into Rez's secret stash.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 1 June 2008, 09:00:48 Not my fault you have a perverted sense of curiosity. If you go there do what you want but don't mention it here, I'm just posting the single thread for the downloading. If it's actually breaking a rule I'll go ahead and take it down though..
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 1 June 2008, 14:18:45 ... I'm pretty sure that in less that 10 typed characters and about 6 clicks you can get to much worse.
MUCH worse. Not that I'd bother using those DL links, I have all episodes already. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 18:06:13 Not my fault you have a perverted sense of curiosity. I just thought, "You seriously linked to this? *click* *click* ... Yup. He linked to this." Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 4 June 2008, 18:07:30 I can get past bad animation if the show is good. Like Home Movies, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.If you EVER get a straight 15 hours of free time and you're bored, watch the whole series. WELL I GUESS THAT WAS A FLOP. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 4 June 2008, 18:14:25 Indeed it was.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 4 June 2008, 21:40:59 Oh yeah. I'm really not interested, but I have projects and jobs I'm working on plus shows I already like that are on.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 10 June 2008, 02:17:17 So, I'm watching it on my Zune now.
It's sick, the screen is good enough to display those tiny subtitles. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 June 2008, 02:24:59 Be a real man and learn Japanese.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 11 June 2008, 22:32:23 ...
Shut your mouth. Posted on: June 09, 2008, 09:26:51 PM : Kamina A TRUE UNION OF SOULS IS WHEN TWO WILLS COLLIDE INTO ONE! Taken literally by me. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 13 June 2008, 04:59:42 Will Smith and his wife were cheering on the Lakers tonight. I can't respect that, but I can respect his reason; He's from Philli, and grew up a Sixers fan. The Celtics have kicked the piss out of the Sixers in more seasons than Will's had birthdays.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Abominator on 13 June 2008, 17:24:57 Will Smith is rectal fungus.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 17 June 2008, 06:55:00 So, I burned a DVD of a movie that my sister wanted to watch, there was an extra 50 minutes on the disc after, so I threw on episodes 25 and 27 of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. She fell asleep watching the movie, and is now being brainwashed with anime in her sleep.
LOLOLOL. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 25 July 2008, 06:23:15 Dude, Parallel Works.

Seriously don't, you'll regret it. 6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGBWdATgSWk) Oh yeah, they're also going to cram the first 16 or so episodes into 2 hours and call it a movie. Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6tKDFbB0b8) Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 25 July 2008, 06:29:39 Number 5 has 2 seconds of 2-D tits. But that doesn't make up for 3 minutes of baby dick waggling in your face.
Dunno about Sano though. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 25 July 2008, 17:33:15 Kamina spanks his ass.
I didn't look for it. WIND showed it to me. Stop looking at me like that. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 25 July 2008, 21:31:27 Gurren Dubben (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_9LfWUxjjfM&feature=related)
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 25 July 2008, 21:43:18 Ehh, I might watch it since its in english.
Its coming to Space channel, or something, right? Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Chron on 25 July 2008, 21:54:29 Kamina is not voiced properly.
Only Brett Weaver could do him justice. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 25 July 2008, 22:01:34 Sure they seem kind of bad but at least watch a couple dub episodes before drawing a conclusion.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Chron on 25 July 2008, 22:07:24 I've already drawn the conclusion that only Brett Weaver can be Kamina, and if he's not, I'm not watching.
Nuh-uh. No way. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 25 July 2008, 22:10:05 kay.
At first I thought the great saiyaman could be pretty good, now I'm not sure. My only concern is the saying "believe in the Kamin that believes in you!" Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 July 2008, 00:59:57 The person who voices Piccolo in DBZ can only be Kamina. (Chris Sabat?)
Because that person also voices Zoro from One Piece. And Zoro's Japanese voice actor is the same as Kamina's. Therefore, Piccolo = Kamina. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Chron on 26 July 2008, 01:25:12 That's nowhere near the energy and spunk required in a role such as Kamina.
You gotta have POWER. AND DREAMS. AND GIIIIIIIIIRLS Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 01:40:54 Do you post SPECIFICALLY to go with your avatar, or does that just happen?
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 02:24:17 I've been thinking of making a bunch of different expressions for myself as avatars and to randomly change them depending on my mood, and hope that the posts work out half as well as they do with Chron's haphazard craziness.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 26 July 2008, 02:25:12 Kamina is not voiced properly. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Chron on 26 July 2008, 14:53:02 Do you post SPECIFICALLY to go with your avatar, or does that just happen? I usually chose avatars that go with my current personality. So they tend to change pretty often, but I've been good about this one lately. Then again I'm normally like this SO ROCK ON BABY. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Fatso on 26 July 2008, 21:19:02 The person who voices Piccolo in DBZ can only be Kamina. (Chris Sabat?) Scott McNeil? Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 21:24:45 Xero will know, and then list everyone who should voice act every character.
Heh. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Fatso on 26 July 2008, 21:27:40 In my opinion McNeil should voice every character anyway, given the awe-inspiring range of voices he can pull off.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 21:44:02 I really could not care less, as I will probably never feel like watching this show unless the universe collapses on itself and leaves only me, a TV, and TTGL on it for eternity.
Even then, it's more likely I will just have to find a way to rebirth the universe instead of watching it. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 27 July 2008, 01:18:49 In my opinion McNeil should voice every character anyway, given the awe-inspiring range of voices he can pull off. YES! YES! YES! YES! I CAN WIN! I FEEL GREAT! I CAN DO THIS! UWAH! Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: NovaMan XP on 27 July 2008, 01:27:19 Actually, Chris Sabat voices Piccolo.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Chron on 27 July 2008, 02:52:50 The crappy one.
McNeil is awesome, it's true. But he's better for the badguy parts and the cool-yet-tough guys who never lose their composure. Hence the awesomeness of the Mega Man cartoon. I think he'd go better as that monster guy. hahaha i've seen three episodes or so of this show Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 July 2008, 03:56:47 I hope they still keep the lines in tact.
"WHO THE ##### DO YOU THINK I AM!?" Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 July 2008, 03:57:47 I'm pretty sure he didn't swear in Japanese.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 27 July 2008, 05:45:42 Yeah dude, fan subbers are notorious for adding onto the dialogue to make it seem more gritty and adult.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 27 July 2008, 06:52:00 Which is completely stupid.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: MOX on 27 July 2008, 07:19:56 Agreed.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 July 2008, 07:25:25 Ugh. Whatever.
I just don't want this screwed up royally is all. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 July 2008, 07:28:13 If its anything other than 4Kids, it won't be screwed up.
Don't like the voices and hate the entire thing because one or two voices don't match the characters exactly how you were expecting, then that's your problem. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 27 July 2008, 07:52:55 Other people than 4Kids Entertainment have #####ed up dubbing.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 July 2008, 08:02:24 Erm, well, not nearly as bad as 4Kids now-a-days.
But as we can see from the trailer, this anime won't be screwed up. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 27 July 2008, 11:04:56 Dude, 4Kids should totally dub Gurren Lagann.
It'd be so epic. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 27 July 2008, 12:52:59 They'd edit Yoko down to a-cups to be kid friendly.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 27 July 2008, 14:31:12 No dude, they'd edit her out completely.
They'd cover her up with advertisements for The Cramp Twins. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 30 July 2008, 08:08:16 Dubs are out, look for them on the Yootoobz.
Episode 1 http://youtube.com/watch?v=2iCxVKyGFM0 Finished the first episode, it was pretty damn good! They cut out some parts but they weren't really needed I suppose. The voice acting is actually good once you hear it, Kamina's voice isn't bad at all! Neither is anyone elses in the first episode. The catchphrases could use some work but they still keep their catchiness. overall its a 8/10 for the first episode. Watched episode 2. It was just as good as the first one if not better. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 30 July 2008, 13:14:46 I'm downloading them from the site that that guy got them from.
The opening theme seems like it's faster. I wish I had the Sci Fi channel. Posted on: July 30, 2008, 08:07:32 AM Kamina isn't as bad-ass, but half way through the first episode, all the voices fit decently. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 30 July 2008, 14:42:15 I just about rofl'd when Kamina said "shenanigans", he is now considered my all time favorite character of all time.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 30 July 2008, 14:45:10 Lee-Ron...
They did too good of a job. He creeps me the ##### out. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 30 July 2008, 14:54:11 You're a homophobe.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 30 July 2008, 14:56:20 If they act like that, I might as well be one.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 30 July 2008, 14:58:28 My uncle's gay.
..That is all. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ChaosVortex on 30 July 2008, 21:19:56 The opening theme seems like it's faster. It is. I don't like it as much. I think this is a good way for me to finish the show. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 30 July 2008, 22:30:20 So, the lasting impression, lots of the lines will seem lame in comparison, but it will be a faithful dub.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 31 July 2008, 04:41:30 Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 July 2008, 04:45:51 He's not married...
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 31 July 2008, 04:49:35 Well not LEGALLY, sure...
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 July 2008, 04:50:55 No, Mike, he has a partner and they're legally Butt-Buddies.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ASR on 31 July 2008, 04:52:29 I think they should haveficially change the term to "pardna'" when talking about gay couples.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 31 July 2008, 04:56:58 No, Mike, he has a partner and they're legally Butt-Buddies. Yeah, Aunt Maurice. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 July 2008, 05:09:03 No, just Mark.
I don't know which one is the butch. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 31 July 2008, 05:20:08 Maurice is his Hebrew name.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 31 July 2008, 06:15:21 K.
Now watch the show. It's in english. Watch it now. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 31 July 2008, 13:56:15 Wind, your signature, I didn't think he was P.O.ed as much as he was scared and sick.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 31 July 2008, 23:14:39 Now watch the show. It's in english. Watch it now. Not at all #####en likely.

Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 5 August 2008, 04:19:32 ALREADY IN THE VIDEOSHARE TOPIC A FEW DAYS AGO.
Thanks to me. It doesn't change the fact that it is the best poop ever. Posted on: August 02, 2008, 07:23:53 PM It's on the Sci-Fi channel right now. EST Too bad I don't have cable. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 5 August 2008, 04:20:13 Too bad I'm Canadian.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 5 August 2008, 04:24:21 You don't get the Sci-Fi channel?
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 5 August 2008, 04:43:12 Nope.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 5 August 2008, 05:11:39 Well, bad news.
The Gurren Lagann DVD doesn't come with the English dub. That makes me sad 'cause I'm actually pretty okay with the dub and I actually was looking forward to hearing it. So, I guess I've got to keep watching Sci-Fi. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 August 2008, 12:33:09 So, I guess I've got to download the dub.
It comes in HD, doesn't it? Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 5 August 2008, 13:52:50 If you can find somewhere to download it tell me >.>
HD? I have no idea. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 5 August 2008, 14:55:45 I searched all my 'sources' and nobody has it uploaded yet.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 5 August 2008, 15:34:00 I'm downloading them via Torrents. Go find.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 August 2008, 15:36:13 Both of my sites don't have the torrents for the dub.
Unless "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" is spelled wrong somewhere. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 5 August 2008, 15:38:10 The dub is just called Gurren Lagann.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 August 2008, 15:41:13 Ah! There we go.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 5 August 2008, 22:41:14 So glad I don't have the Sci-Fi channel right now.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 6 August 2008, 07:04:34 Yeah, but you have the internet, and thats just as bad.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Dragster on 6 August 2008, 23:09:20 just watched the first episode of the anime. Seems good actually, I'm going to keep watching. I actually though some parts were really funny. XD
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 6 August 2008, 23:17:56 AAAAAND there it is. Dragster thinks it's funny, therefore it can't be.
Yeah, but you have the internet, and thats just as bad. It's worse that YOU have the internet because you dorks can talk about this poo together! Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 7 August 2008, 08:02:36 If you'd watch it, you'd be talkin' poo as well. You'd like it.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Dragster on 7 August 2008, 12:42:59 The one thing I don't like is how much Simon reminds me of Shinji from Evangelion...
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 7 August 2008, 12:48:45 Simon kicks Shinji in the head. His transformation into a hot blooded bad ass is probably one of the best scenes in the series, thats the scene that was parodied on VG cats.
"Who the hell do you think I am?! I'm Simon! I am not my brother Kamina, I am myself! Simon! The digger!" Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Dragster on 7 August 2008, 19:40:41 [spoiler]Ok... Just watched the 8th episode... Why must my favourite character ALWAYS get killed off?! WHY CAN'T I HAVE NICE THINGS?! :([/spoiler]
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 August 2008, 19:45:14 I think I was just spoiled. D:
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Dragster on 7 August 2008, 19:47:36 Sorry... I'll edit the post with a spoiler button thingy, my mistake
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 7 August 2008, 19:51:42 Seriously, Dragster is the type of guy to like Dayakka and Lee-ron.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Dragster on 7 August 2008, 20:35:34 Lee-ron is #####ing awesome! XD He literally made me fall out of my chair laughing.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 12 August 2008, 05:08:22 Let's complain about what happened to episode 6!
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 12 August 2008, 05:34:45 OH JUNK I FORGOT TO WATCH IT.
Oh yeah I don't have Sci-Fi. What happened? Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 12 August 2008, 06:25:46 They took everything out of the episode and nothing made sense.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Johncarllos on 12 August 2008, 15:39:38 Tell me,
-were there hot springs? -was there an absurd amount of flashbacks? -Was there a fight at the end? -Does Viral show up? If all that stuff is there, I can live with it. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: preventerWIND on 12 August 2008, 17:35:12 Yes, thats probably what happened.
Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 13 August 2008, 06:42:37 Tell me, Yes, but only Kamina and Simon everyone else didn't exist. Yes. Yes. Yes. You have to see it to understand why I was so crushed by its suckage. I seriously trusted the dub. I trusted it! Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: ASR on 13 August 2008, 07:27:23 ...I ...I ...I watch ...I watched the first two episodes of the dub on Youtube.
I feel dirty. Almost don't hate it. Almost. Maybe I'll watch more later. Don't count on it. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Lunchebox on 16 August 2008, 19:58:40 I finally decided to watch this show from beginning to end.
It was.. ALRIGHT. Maybe it was too over hyped, so I was let down in a big way but... It felt mediocre. I'll admit, I liked some of the robot designs, but most of the characters ended up feeling really vague and undeveloped, so I didn't really care when 90% of them died near the end of the series. Save for Kittan, who I didn't really care for that much, since he was basically a stand in for Kamina, who I couldn't care less about either. Seriously, I just could not bring myself to even CARE about Kamina, even when he died, since it was obvious from the beginning that Simon was basically what made the whole Gurren Lagann thing work, but everyone treated Simon like he was the tagalong and Kamina like some super badass. I think the series was better before they beat Genome, afterward it was just kind of... "Okay, now get to the good part". The whole Spiral thing was kind of dumb, but the anti-spiral looked pretty cool... Save for that weird mouth thing he had going on. Also, making the molepig turn into a human being thing seemed very pointless. In the end, there were some cool, and some funny things, such as the robots designs, piloting a giant robot, which pilots an even bigger robot, which pilots one even bigger than that, which pilots one that is ridiculous in size, and the line "Screwing is manly". But there are better shows out there, there's even better shows by that studio (Gainax). On that point, why are all of their shows basically coming of age stories? And why do they have to keep throwing in that pseudo-psychological crap ALL THE TIME? Seriously, I've had enough of it. Anyway, basically it's an okay show, but I don't think it deserves all the praise that everyone showers over it, or the wanking.

The hype is too much, yes. But its a fun show, and I liked that. Title: Re: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Post by: Mikero on 16 August 2008, 23:44:11 I'd probably feel the same about it, but I'm not mood for that kind of show lately.
The only anime I feel like watching is Texhnolyze and finishing Niea_7. And rewatching Haibane Renmei, and of course Serial Experiments Lain. |
