Not him but TTGL is an extremely overrated series that just has a lot of eye candy. The first half is a very good, fun anime with the second season being a steaming pile of meandering shit with only a good ending to its name. What weakens the series even more is character designs aside, no one actually develops outside of Simon and even then he finishes his entire development by the end of Season 1 so he doesn't do much in 2 growthwise.

Personally I do not think its bad, but I only think it ranks at like a 6 maybe a 7 out of 10. Good, but very VERY overrated.

Becoming a lamer Kamina is not meaningful development, Rossiu only developed by unbecoming a terrible person and it just felt like her returned to being who he was in the first season, LordGenome had some interesting things to say but ultimately accomplished little and really added nothing to his character. I would say LordGenome would have been better developed if he never came back and they merely pointed out that he objectively was just in what he was doing, having to realize that maybe their actions were not the smartest.

On rewatch I feel like the first few episodes aside from 3 are boring and don't have much intrigue. 5 (Rossiu episode) is when it really starts, and 7 onward is very interesting. After the moon, when they leave to go to the anti spiral homeworld the movie does everything better and is solidly the best part of the whole thing. Would say watch the movies first, then the series for more details

That sums it up pretty well. TTGL has a good first episode, 2-3 really bad episodes, and the rest of the first season is rather good. Season 2 is shit until they go to space, the movie executed season 2 much better.

>>142476651
I put as much effort as you did saying a name, you wanna claim someone developed meaningfully you better give me a reason because I stand by everything I said. Viral's only development is the one scene where we see he wishes he could have had a family, Kitan is just a budget Kamina down to redoing his death, Rossiu literally just reverts to season 1, and LordGenome was already the most interesting character with his development as just a footnote and would have been executed without him there. If these flat characters and their nondevelopment is as good as you claim, please elaborate.

>>142476812

Viral wants to surpass kamiya, learns he's dead and some kid beat him, learns he has an immortal body, joins with Simon.

Rossiu doesn't get much screen time after being punched but he's not a child again.

Yoko struggles a bit to get over Kamina's death, and has issues with Nia before reconciling.

Kittan is if Kamina were his own character and not merely supplementary to Simon. Kamina is eccentric but constant, except for his postmortem monologue in Yoko's flashback

>Viral wants to surpass kamiya, learns he's dead and some kid beat him, learns he has an immortal body, joins with Simon.
These aren't examples of character development, these are just things happening. The only thing that changed him as a person was his side change and thats pretty superficial.

>Rossiu doesn't get much screen time after being punched but he's not a child again.
He reverts as a character to season 1 in his mentality and actions. He is physically older, but after he gets off his "sacrifices must be made" kick he becomes the same person.

>Yoko struggles a bit to get over Kamina's death, and has issues with Nia before reconciling.
Yoko never had a personality other than she wanted Kamina dick. She never meaningfully contributes to the show other than shaking Simon to the point of causing Kamina's death, being the forced reason that Kitan redoes Kamina's death, and eye candy.

>Kittan is if Kamina were his own character and not merely supplementary to Simon.
Kitan is Kamina except he is supplementary to Simon AND he is just a shadow of Kamina. They literally just tried to make him into Kamina 2.0, his death is him trying to become Kamina.

>Kamina is eccentric but constant, except for his postmortem monologue in Yoko's flashback
Kamina didn't live long enough to develop. He was a fun, eccentric character but absolutely no growth happens partially from the whole series trying to paint his mentality as being the correct one and they idolize him to the point that even if he didn't die he wouldn't have grown.

Let's not kid ourselves; most "god-tier" character designs come from shounen. Why? Because seinen is supposed to create "depth" and not "style", so they don't bother with cool character designs. Shoujo and Josei give even less of a fuck. Although video game characters (JRPGs in general) probably top a lot of anime designs, this is /a/ so no point to post those here.

Kittan is not supplementary to Simon. His actions assist him but he has no affect on the growth of his character.

Characters change subtly in anime, it's important to understand the cultural context to read between the lines. Do you also think Yoko's interest in Kamina was sudden?

That really depends on what you classify as a "good" character design. Shown may, because of the subject matter, usually have more room to get crazy and have really different and wild designs, but that isn't something that appeals to everyone. A design can be simple but still be good.
A well-known example of a simple but effective design is Johan from Monster.

>His actions assist him but he has no affect on the growth of his character.
Because Simon does not develop in the second season so he just serves as a poor insert to help Simon like Kamina did minus what actually impacted Simon as a character.

>Characters change subtly in anime, it's important to understand the cultural context to read between the lines.
Change =/= develop. As people, pretty much everyone not named Simon are more or less exactly how they started. TTGL's characters are very flat and one dimensional, most not really having anything to be developed. It is very much the Simon show, and he finishes his arc in season 1 so season 2 is pretty much entirely bereft of anyone developing and instead just has circumstance changes and a conflict.

>Do you also think Yoko's interest in Kamina was sudden?
No, it was well setup by having Simon show such blatant crush on Yoko while she had an antagonistic near flirty relationship with Kamina. Again, the first season is a lot better than the shit show known as the second season.

I'm considering watching Kuma Miko solely because of her design.

>>142478836

Yes, but the number of characters and how they interact is good, which is what's missing in the first few episodes.

You're completely trivializing Nia and Simon's relationship which is the crux of the point of the show. Personal tradegy for a greater good. Nia betrays him, his will fluctuates then shatters, he learns the truth and is more determined than ever, death spiral machine tests this will and he loses an ally in the process, learns saving the universe kills Nia but accepts it has to be done.

It's not complicated but you talk like you missed the point entirely

>>142479385
I didn't miss the point, its just incredibly shallow and is stretched out over many episodes. Yes there is about a 3 episode stretch of weak aimlessness in the first season, but the opposite is season 2 where only the last 3 get to any point or attempt to achieve anything. He didn't seem "betrayed" or "shattered", he was pretty sure something was up and never really lost faith in getting to Nia because of his prior lessons to follow his gut and convictions. Simon never has a low point, even when he is sent to prison he is depicted as the entirety of the events being in the palm of his hand. Simon leaves season 2 the same how he came in, unlike Season 1 where he is drastically different. Small moments that have little impact on the character outside of in the moment are not character development, they are just more action/drama with little meaning which is what plagues the second season.

>but the number of characters and how they interact is good, which is what's missing in the first few episodes.
Character interaction is good and all, but a sheer sizable cast doesn't mean anything especially not when no character has meaningful development. You get scenes with no true depth, a lot of scenes between characters are just to move the plot from point A to point B. X did this and then Y happened and then Z happened, rather than X happened causing Y to happen resulting in Z. It feels more like a string of events rather than a meaningful story.

>the second season being a steaming pile of meandering shit

What do you mean "meandering"? It had a pretty straight trajectory which didn't take much time to get going at all. I keep hearing people say the second half dragged, and I don't get it at all. There was exactly one episode that might have been slow, which was the first one of the second cour, which was used to introduce the post-timeskip setting. After that it moved on at a steady clip.

If anything, the first half is meandering. There were a bunch of side stories that didn't really advance the plot (the onsen, the entire episode about Rossiu's boring village, whatever the fuck episode 4 was).

How about his devotion to Adiane? How about when he realized Lord Genome was just using him? How about when he decided to help the humans who wanted to remain underground? Did you even watch the show?

You mean the momentary signs of disbelief that are discarded once the scene changes because Simon took the lessons he learned in season 1 to heart and went with his gut and intuition, believing that things are the way he believes or else he will manage for it to be that way? Nothing carries any weight in the scenes in the second season because emotionally nothing is carried over, no development happens just they move onto the next scene.

>>142480406
The content of the episodes are what meanders. Nothing happens for large stretches in every episodes, even the space episodes which are a lot better than the rest of the season are filled with stupid shit that adds nothing (ie Boota). Things meander because a lot happens with no substance, everything that takes place in the city is ultimately needless and just comes across as padding. Things happen but no one develops, we see at the start Simon is right and irrationally a bunch of people think he isn't despite in the previous season they would have agreed then a few episodes later they admit they were wasting time and go forward.

>If anything, the first half is meandering. There were a bunch of side stories that didn't really advance the plot (the onsen, the entire episode about Rossiu's boring village, whatever the fuck episode 4 was).
Yes, there are bad episodes in the first season because this series is heavily flawed with Onsen and episode 4 being specific examples. But if you think Rossiu's "boring village" was meaningless then you are showing your misunderstanding. The reason why that episode shows impact is it showed how wrong keeping humanity underground is, the effects it can have on people, and that ultimately even those who claim to be happy underground are living the lives of dogs not humans.

>>142475744
I love the style of TTGL, but my biggest pet peeve is how the slightly more cartoony/unique faces become more typically bishonen as they get older (Simon and the red-haired boy) if they're more important characters. It's kind of chickening out if you ask me.

>>142481010
I have watched the anime first, and just after finishing the first season I picked up the manga, so I might be biased in that perspective. but still, especially the character design of Rize and Tsukiyama, seems off in the manga.
with the addition of :re the tables may turn, since the remarkable improvement in the art

You mean those who had the same end goal as him?

I saw the show, nothing you said is character development and are explicit examples of how he stays exactly the same as a person throughout the show. He changes his circumstances, but he does not change as a character.

Please tell me, what do YOU consider character development? You've already said change in a character isn't development. And apparently the revelation of character traits is also not development. So, what exactly would constitute character development in your mind? Because it's beginning to sound more and more like you're disagreeing with people just to be contrarian. Multiple people have pointed out how various characters in the show developed, and you've dismissed it all by simply saying "that's not character development."

What the fuck do you think character development is?

Always found the outfits on Zeta to be pretty dope. I'd say my favorites are Quattro's and the Titan uniforms, with Kamille and Fa's being close behind.

>>142481757
>You've already said change in a character isn't development
I said that IS development, everything you just listed was Viral being the same person he started as. Development is a character learning from experiences and their actions/personality reflect this. The only person in the whole show that is a different person from how he started is Simon. Viral is still a soldier who just cares about piloting and pleasing his superior, Kitan is a hothead who wants to prove he can do things, Yoko is a pair of tits, and Nia is cute. Simon started as a meek little dork who would never fight for what he believes in and would allow for his own beliefs to be shaken, he develops into a man that stands on his own two feet and believes in the future he can potentially achieve willing to brute force the world to change if he has to.

The only character in TTGL that develops is Simon. A change of circumstance is not a character development, character development is learning more about them as a person and seeing deep motivations and their thought processes and how their experiences change from them. Its a very shallow cast of characters, many are fun but are almost all one dimensional.

>> Simon never has a low point
Do you have a brain?
Simon has a HUGE low-point after Kamina dies, becoming reclusive and violent to the point of being unwilling to live. Overwhelmed by guilt and loneliness.

>> characters don´t develop
First: you´re wrong again.
Second: The only characters with Zero development (like Attenborough and Jorgun and Balinbow) are established as one-note sidesters from the very beginning.
Third: Do characters really NEED to develop for a series to be good? Isn´t just as good sometimes to get a fully-formed character and slowly learn more about them as the show continues?

TTGL is the best anime ever made. Deal with it, MAL.

>>142482016
Viral learns to be his own man and find his own honour outside of the Empire.

Kitan struggles throughout the show to be Kamina´s equal, despite lacking the innate willpower and charisma that made people forgive Kamina´s many flaws.

Yoko finds and loses love twice and is left a strong, but sad person by the end.

Nia stays the same, but is really only there for Simon´s development.

On the whole, the show is explicitly about Simon´s coming-of-age and through him symbolically the coming-of-age of all Men, the Mecha genre and Humanity as a whole.
This series has depth if you like it enough to look

>>142482763
>Do you have a brain?
>Simon has a HUGE low-point after Kamina dies, becoming reclusive and violent to the point of being unwilling to live. Overwhelmed by guilt and loneliness.
Yes. In Season 1. Which I am saying exclusively is when Simon develops.

>First: you´re wrong again.
Name some who did and how they developed
>Second: The only characters with Zero development (like Attenborough and Jorgun and Balinbow) are established as one-note sidesters from the very beginning.
Pretty much the entire cast is one note sidesters
>Third: Do characters really NEED to develop for a series to be good?
Yes because it shows they are changing and developing giving more weight to them as a person and the actions they carry
>Isn´t just as good sometimes to get a fully-formed character and slowly learn more about them as the show continues?
Except there are a grand total of 2 fully formed characters: Simon (whom is the only one who develops) and Lordgenome. As fun as Kamina is, he is very much a one note character with little depth.

You having to ask if a character needs development shows how you yourself doubt your own stance that characters are developed. I am not calling TTGL bad as a whole, its a fun ride that is thoroughly flawed. One of the biggest, glaring flaws is flat one dimensional characters.

>Viral
No he doesn't. He literally plays the exact same role in Simon's army as he did the beastmen just essentially a bit more rank. The only moment he develops is when we see his deepest desire was to have a family and not be at war.

>Kitan
And Kitan stays exactly that, attempting to be Kamina's equal but merely being a hothead that lives in his shadow. He even dies the same fucking death except it was nowhere near as impactful.

>Yoko
Yoko is an object and is equivalent to Nia in how she is merely there for others to work off of

>Nia
She is cute cotton candy but ultimately a supplement as you said

On the whole, the show is explicitly about Simon´s coming-of-age and through him symbolically the coming-of-age of all Men, the Mecha genre and Humanity as a whole.

Which is what I have been saying this entire time? I have never called it a bad series, I sad it is flawed. The characters are by far one of the weakest points of the show and the second season is mostly trash, but it is still a fun but flawed ride which is a trademark of almost every Gainax series.

>>142482989
Kamina has depth though. It´s interesting to see how much he keeps fucking up and how little he accomplishes. He comes across as this super-badass, but in truth he´s super insecure and can only keep up his facade by getting all the other characters to buy into his own hype.
Everyone thinks he´s the shit, because they themselves grow stronger through contact with him, but Kamina himself isn´t that strong.
He´s less like Simon or Rossiu (ie, folks who get shit done) and more like Nia (ie, someone who gives others the strength to get shit done)
