Just like the entirety of Turn A. The only explanation for why all the mobile suits are buried in mountains near the surface and in near mint condiationis a vague brush-off saying "Eh, ancient civilizations" that doesn't mean anything. Mecha is generally incredibly shit and poorly written, don't try and think too much about it. Just enjoy the mecha porn and you'll have a good time.

Well, Masketta-jin, have you ever considered that the people who say the show's good don't care where Lagann comes from?

>>13701826
>This thing is shit therefore it doesn't matter
No, all you did was point out another garbage mecha that relies on plot holes.

>Just enjoy the mecha porn and you'll have a good time.
Except none of the shows I've mentioned or you've mentioned have any quality of animation to justify it. It's fucking Transformers level garbage of bright flashy colors.

Just admit that Gurren Lagann is pure fucking shit.

>>13701841
They need to stop saying it's good then. They need to accept that it's shit.

They're acting like rabid G-Reco fans by not doing so.

>>13701842
What the fuck? I never said Lagann was good, where the fuck did you get that?


I was agreeing with you on both Lagann and G-Wrecko being shit, which is why I wrote
>Mecha is generally incredibly shit and poorly written
I gave another overrated piece of shit as an example with Turn A, which gets praised to hell and back everything, despite its whole premise of conveniently finding mobile suits buried near the surface in mountains being a gaping plot hole that shows the entire show is fundamentally flawed on a conceptual level.

You're trying way too hard, btw.

>>13701779
Greg?

>>13701863
Ah, I was confused because your statement said "Turn your Brain off and enjoy it"

So you agree that Turn A, G Reco, and Gurren Lagann are all shit, shouldn't be watched and fans should be punished for saying they're good?

>>13701871
>So you agree that Turn A, G Reco, and Gurren Lagann are all shit, shouldn't be watched and fans should be punished for saying they're good?
Absolutely, I'm glad I've never seen any of them, and only read up on them on their wikis and anime review videos. That was more than enough to know that they were shit.

>>13701871
>>13701879
Samefagging really hard here

See Parallel works 8 for this:
The Lagann types were precursors of the Ganmen from meteorites, presumably from another space faring civilization that tried to attack the anti-spirals
That particular Lagann either has one of 2 reasonable origins.
A: It impacted the ground in a way which would bury it far enough beneath the ground for Simon to encounter it, the humans aren't buried that far underground
B: It was one of the Ganmen used to build the holes the humans were placed in, someone accidentally left it there as the place was being covered over

>>13701879
>>13701871
Also, there literally aren't any mecha worth watching for the story, save maybe EVA, which is why I said if you're going to watch mecha, just watch the ones that actually look realistically and well-drawn, and just enjoy the visuals, and try not to think about the glaring flaws in the writing and direction.

>It's never explained where Lagann came from in the show.
It's just a robot left over from the war. What's there to explain? It doesn't even matter. Besides, out of all the glaring plotholes, that's the thing you're worried about?

It was an old mech from the time of Lordgenome similar to the Lazengann, what's not to get? It could been buried in a fight.

Ever?

If not, it's just headcanon and it's a failing on the shows part and is a plot hole

>>13701779
It's actually a lot deeper that that. It was addressed in the Parallel Works.

Genome actually found the Laganns as a child, *before* he warred against the Anti-Spirals. It's not left over from him defeating all his allies.

They were there even before.

There's even lots of Laganns within the Galactic Spiral Abyss.

>>13701952
I remember the guy saying that they were forced to bury them to prevent an uprising or die, but I might be remembering wrong.

>>13701952
Yes.

Gurren Lagann Parallel Works are part of the show.

It's like watching Seed Destiny and claiming all of the shit Kira did in Seed is headcanon because Seed isn't Seed Destiny and they're two different shows.

>>13701952
Yes. It was. Pay attention next time. Also the Parallel Works went into further detail.

Why is it essential that we need to know where Lagann came from?

Why do people assume that Lagann is some godlike mech? It's just a somewhat powerful one the likes of which could be found scattered throughout the planet TTGL is set on. It is the cast's FEELING and EMOTION put into Lagann that make it so powerful.

Lagann wasn't buried, nigger. It struck the earth like a meteor and Genome used it to backwards engineer spiral tech.

The one Simon finds could also just be a meteor.

>>13701991
So, you can't prove that it happened

Typical shitposter. You don't understand. I am saying that Lagann's origin was never explicitly stated or said in the show. You guys can only make conjecture based on events and have no hard evidence detailing why it was there.

>>13702005
I see no Lagann. I see meteors. I see debris. I do not see a single shot, a single bit of spoken dialogue or a single bit of relevant material indicating what you are implying. You're just shilling your headcanon like the people who try and justify why the G-Self was tied up with tape or why the Turn A was burried in a statue revered as a god. Get over yourself. Get over the fact that Gurren Lagann is built on a massive plot hole.

>>13701998
Because otherwise it's a plot hole that the entire story relies on to even exist. If a story's fucking lodestone isn't even well thought out to the point where you have to make assumptions based on events in the show, then it's show.

This kind of lazy writing infests, Gurren Lagann, Turn A, and G-Reco where you're just supposed to accept plot holes and ignore them.

>>13702015
Did you just close your eyes really tight and start screaming at 0:40-0:42 when it shows Lagann?

>>13702015
>never explicitly stated or said in the show. You guys can only make conjecture based on events and have no hard evidence detailing why it was there.
Is this inherently a bad thing?
It is astounding how often people say things are shit because not every single bit of everything in a show is *explicitly* explained.

There's a bare onus of responsibility upon the viewer to not be a complete fucking retard. It sounds like you do not meet the viewing criterion required for virtually any form of media.

Ambiguity is a useful tool for pacing, and viewer intrigue to a show, also it is different to a 'Plot hole'.
You're supposed to be viewing this from Simon and crew's viewpoint, who are also only being given the same clues and understanding as the viewer. Padding and bloating a series with useless minor dialogue doesn't make a good series. See: Naruto Shippuden

The official explanation is nanomachine error. Some of the nanos in the Moonlight Butterfly went into "preserve" mode instead of "disassemble".

A show tells a story. A story that leaves out important info and whose fans try and hand wave it being left out as "Oh you're supposed to make something up" indicates a bad show.

Compare it something like Iron Blooded Orphans, which while no means a good show, at least has the decency to explain everything properly and doesn't need it's fans to make shit up to fill plot holes and details they failed to cover properly.

>>13702096
Simon's Lagann is the entire crux in which he narrative depends on.

Without it, nothing in the show can have taken place.

And yet the best explanation the show can give is in some side material where it's not even stated or addressed but you're suppose to assume a situation based on an entirely unrelated characters acquiring of their mech.

I'm done though, because you've all switched into the the ol Guren Lagann condescension mode. Plot holes exist, anons. The fact that you're using your imagination to fill them in does not alter that fact. You are making up your own explanation for something the show overlooked. The show isn't "challenging" me, you're just in denial about its incomplete narrative.

>>13702104
Lord Genome built it and left it behind, just as his Lagann was done for him, obviously.

It's like pottery.

>>13702108
Nothing in the show would have changed if they escaped to the surface after the Beastman broke through the ceiling, and they saw some beastmen riding around in Gunmen and they stole that instead. It is not the entire crux. And no narrative is dependent on Lagann.

>>13702108
It's not like Lagann is one of a kind mech, Lazengann exists. The real power was from Simon and the others, not the mech.

OP's thirst for dick is the entire crux in which his argument depends on.

Without it, nothing in the thread can have taken place.

And yet the best explanation OP can give is in some fantasy where everyone is supremely autistic and unable to fathom the origins of things that don't really even need origins at all.

I'm done though, because you've all switched into "holy fuck, this guy is a complete retard". Thirst for dick exists, anons. The fact that you're not putting those dicks in his mouth does not alter that thirst. You are reasonably understanding the premise and implications of a show for something so simple that no explanation was required. The show is "challenging" OP, and he is just in denial about his thirst for dick.

He's just being a pedantic dicksucker.

Lord Genome literally found a Lagann that smashed into Earth (PW8) and reverse engineered his own army to fight the Anti-Spirals, then he learned he fucked up, and destroyed all his comrades. There's probably dozens of buried ganmen from the war.

They don't need to directly say "LORD GENOME MUST NOT HAVE FOUND THIS BURIED LAGANN WHILE HE WAS BUSY SUCKING ALL THAT SPIRAL COCK, WHAT LUCK FOR US" because the MCs never even knew about that shit until way later, and it literally did not and does not matter.

Me.

I already know that a lot of stuff I like isn't particularly well written or made, but I find it entertaining and fun. I still like it.

OP is a faggot though if he really thinks something as minor and inconsequential as Lagann's origins actually matter for this show.
