>TTGL turns 10 next month Where did the time go? What's

>>154152117
It was a downhill from that point onwards for everyone and everything.
I still suck and browse this shithole for example.

>>154152117
We should celebrate Lucky Star not Gurren Lagann

Was there supposed to be a new project next month for AnimeJapan

I was actually about to make a thread about TTGL. I'll just ask here.

I love TTGL but I've never seen the movies. The first one starts so slowly and is basically just a clip show for a long time. Should I just skip it and watch movie 2? I've tried to sit through movie 1 like 4 times and only make it halfway.

You're nuts. All that shit with the Spiral King's backstory is fucking aces. The end is objectively the worst part, since it ends before the climax of the first arc. Why they thought it made sense to leave the fight with Lordgenome out of the first movie is beyond me.

>>154161847
It's neat don't get me wrong, if it was dubbed I'd have watched it 10 times by now. It's just that since I've watched both the sub and dub of the anime twice each, it's really boring needing to give my full attention to a recap of a story I've already heard a few times. I'm a slow reader you see.

HONOR. AND. GLORY.

Reminder that Yoko is directly responsible for Kamina's death. Had she not disturbed Simon while he was trying to sleep, he likely would have fallen asleep instead of witnessing her kiss Kamina. Alternatively she could have simply not kissed Kamina.

His blood is on her lips.

>>154163379
It was more the fact that all those peeps died in that fight and kittan was the nail in the coffin for that fight as well

Have you watched Kill la Kill? Imaishi directed that as well and it's even more over-the-top than Gurren Lagann. It's not as emotional and the plot isn't as good, but the action scenes in Kill la Kill are truly a spectacle.

>>154170135
Yeah I've seen Kill la Kill, I like it, and maybe I'm just biased towards mecha but I like Gurren Lagann better in pretty much every single way. Why do you say it's more over the top out of curiosity? I don't think I'd say that myself so I'm curious

The ghost stories is a bad example of why Gurren Lagann's dub is bad, GS is irrelevant in japanese. Gurren Lagann's dub on the other hand tries to be a serious translation but can't even use the right pronunciation of the fucking protagonist's name.

I just finished watching the anime for the third time, after three or four years or so.

Episode 26 still gets me, though not as hard as the first time, where I cried like a bitch, while I only teared profusely today.

Maybe it's because I already knew what was going to happen, but still, I enjoyed every moment of it. Barring ep4.

Gonna rewatch Lagann-hen tomorrow or sunday, all these emotions left me pretty tired.

Also, did the bluray release added something? I didn't remember that splash in the first arc showing Lord Genome's past version, or the Anti-Spiral's body having those changing images instead of it being entirely black.

>>154163379
>these implications about Kittan

He was his own thing, even if at times he did wanted to be like Kamina, though at the end he ended up admitting that he could never be like him.

It was exactly like Yoko said: while Kamina was hot blooded to the max and dragging everyone with him, Kittan was like that guy that WANTS to be hotblooded, and picks up on the ones who get overwhelmed by the leader's will.

>Confession time

While I did get sad, I didn't actually cried at Kamina's death. I don't know, the tone from him fighting until the very end, the lack of a proper song to accompany it unlike with Kittan's and everyone forsaking their AU selves, and the chapter ending up rather suddenly after all the action; all that left me in a state of shock rather than crying.

I did cry to Kittan's sacrifice; and to this day, everyone leaving their normal AU lives in favor of fighting the Anti-Spiral, while Libera Me is playing in the back, is the only time in all of my fiction consuming-life I actually cried like a bitch.

I was exactly the same as you guys, thinking nothing would ever relive that itch again. And then I played(as in, yes, on my PS3, and bought all the DLC even) Asura's Wrath.

If you absolutely love TTGL, you're doing yourself a huge disservice by not at least watching over youtube a complete playthrough of it. You being the one who pushes the buttons at key moments has a much better feeling, but I'm still damn sure you can enjoy it all the same.

Also, the dub for the game is fucking great, Liam O' Brien is a fucking God-tier VA.

>>154154372
If you've seen the show, I'd say the only thing from the movies that requires watching is the final fight with Super TTGL; it is imo superiror in every way to the final fight as it appeared in the series.

Oh, right; even gurren lagann means something; like crimson blossom skull or something along those lines

>>154174123
Yeah Gurren seems to be crimson, and Lagann is face or something like what you said.
Which means they're basically just Team Red, which is slightly amusing

TTGL is a great inspirational anime about the triumph of will over stacked odds.

>>154172273
they really should've pronounced it "sai-man" in the original Japanese, they totally have all the sounds and syllables needed
pronouncing it Simon instead of sea-moan sounds wrong to you because you got attached to the other pronunciation first

>>154174549
>pronouncing it Simon instead of sea-moan sounds wrong to you
but they don't pronounce it as Simon, that's my problem; the dub uses an accent over the "o." Shimon was fine in the JP version since that's the common translation, but there's no excuse for adding an accented "o" in an American English dub.

>>154174751
oh, I've only seen a bit of it, I figured they just made it normal
that is weird

>>154173651
Aside from some lowpoints like the skydive fight and a good portion of the non-boss combat, Asura's Wrath really lives up to being a video game adaptation of hot-blooded anime.

Give me one reason the dub is bad other than "muh name pronunciation."

Honestly the name works, I couldn't imagine being able to associate the normal pronunciation of the name Simon with him. I know feeling as if See-moan fits him perfectly is just because it's how I know him, but it definitely fits him more than Symon.
