Perfect timing for Imaishi to announce his new piece of shit.

Realistically, what can the new Imaishi mecha series do to justify its existence when TTGL exists?

>>155264115
It's going to be the real robot series to finally take down Gundam.

>>155264172
Never gonna happen

>>155264172
>Imaishi
>not cartoony as fuck
Not happening. And the "realrobot" arc of TTGL was by far the worst.

>>155263801
People who say Kamina shouldn't have died are retarded.

Also the show should have ended after defeating Lordgenome.

>>155264115
It can be better, not like TTGL is any benchmark of quality. Not even in the mecha genre is it anything notable.

>>155264172
>Gundam
>real robot
This is almost as laughable as you claiming that an Imaishi made series could topple the empire that is Gundam.

>>155265867
>It can be better, not like TTGL is any benchmark of quality. Not even in the mecha genre is it anything notable.
Nobody cares about your contrarian opinion, /m/.

>>155266190
Sorry I have seen more than one mecha show. TTGL doesn't bring anything new to the table, this is just a fact. I'm not saying its bad, I had fun with it but there are plenty of better series out there.

>>155264115
>new Imaishi mecha series
Is there any concrete source? I've been looking but can't find anything on this.

Watching people get angry over people liking TTGL is more entertaining than the show itself.

>>155266338
It's not about having watched more mecha shows. It's about having watched the shows that TTGL is borrowing from. For most people here, the only mecha shows older than TTGL that they would have watched are NGE and maybe some Gundam.

The End of Gurren Lagann

>>155266484
Okay? I've watched the series that TTGL takes from, so I know what's being referenced/homaged/aped from stuff like Getter, Mazinger, etc. Getter is my favorite mecha show and I've seen just about everything that's been put in English for it, and the amount TTGL takes from Getter almost whole sale is kinda baffling.

Just because people here know fuck all about mecha doesn't make TTGL some revolutionary series that means anything to the genre. It's a fun show that is clearly influenced by famous mecha shows, especially influenced by the works of Ishikawa.

Also to people who hear the age old bullshit of "it's a love letter to mecha" it's really not. It's at best a love letter to 70s mecha, particularly Toei, but a true love letter to the whole genre is Gun X Sword.

>>155266798
>Getter is my favorite mecha show
>show

Damn...
Season 2 when?

>His system to govern celebration of an event is based on numerology and base 10 number system

>another getter vs ttgl thread

You hipsters aren't impressing anyone. No matter how much you rage people are gonna like TTGL more because it's more entertaining and memorable. Gurren Lagann takes everything fun about mecha and shoves it up your ass on top of a surprisingly well done coming of age story. The cartoony visuals and soundtrack are also 10/10 aside from that one episode.

While Getter Robo is a good manga, overall I wouldn't recommend it over TTGL unless you got a fedora and want to pretend the shit is amazing just because it inspired other mecha.

>>155264115
>Imaishi

hmmmmm

>>155266900
I meant series, so sue me. I've seen every version of the series: Toei Getter, Armageddon, Shin Vs Neo, New, crossover films, read Getter Robo Saga, and every translated manga that includes Getter Robo.

>>155267198
How can you judge how memorable Getter is if you and majority of the west hasn't seen it? I'm not saying about which you like more or which I like more, I'm saying it doesn't do anything revolutionary with the genre and honestly doesn't do anything original with it either. You are making a lot of claim when I doubt you have seen much of Getter, Mazinger, Grendizer, Kotetsu Jeeg, Brave, or even Gundam just to name a few series. Western TTGL fans think it's some amazing revolutionary series but it's not in any way shape or form. It's a good show, but it's nothing amazing when it comes to the genre.

>>155265867
>not like TTGL is any benchmark of quality
For Imaishi, it absolutely is. It's the best TV anime he's directed and I doubt that he'd be able to surpass it now. Any new robot anime he does would have to take a substantially different approach to not come across as a pale retread.

>>155262893
Just finished this today.
Pretty great, but the ending just seemed to forget to wrap up the story.

i like the way that all people here choose to be anonymous just because they are too fucking lazy to type in a fake name.

TTGL is actually my least favorite Imaishi. It's too normalized and probably his least personal work.

Lucky Star is a better anime than TTGL

Darker than Black was the best anime of the year.

>electric batman

>>155265707
Nah

Agree with kamina dying to let other generations go

But the second adult part was pretty fucking awesome, specially the last episode and the sacrifice of Kittan

>>155262893
oh shit no way?

>>155269971
We will have to agree to disagree. I hated Kittan's death because the show suddenly wanted me to care about a heroic sacrifice of a character that was never relevant to begin with. Also cheapened it by just doing Kamina's death over again.

>>155268287
INTO THE EYE OF THE STORRRM

>>155262753
Still my all time favorite. A good old fashioned word filter would be a good way to celebrate.

>>155269971
Kittan's sacrifice alone saved the show for me. I really, really had to force myself to get up to that point after the timeskip, and even afterwards it was a boring slog. But holy fuck Kittan's sacrifice was awesome.

>>155268046
Yeah, I like that too

Anything by Ken Ishikawa is fucking amazing. Even Imaishi would agree.

You need to stop pretending to have taste and kill yourself.

>>155267198

Except the fights in TTGL all suck ass with very poor choreography from Imaishi. Very thoroughly disappointed especially when he came out with RE: Cutie Honey only a few years earlier.

It was realer than ttgl's.

TTGL went against its own themes.

Meanwhile Shin ended as expected it would.

Meh. I thought Koutetsushin Jeeg was just as entertaining as TTGL.

the only good things about KLK was character design and soundtrack.
it's sad how TTGL looks better despite being older

TTGL was boring but ok on some parts.

6/10

>>155274739
>the only good things about KLK was character design and soundtrack.
I prefer TTGL's OST, but KLK has better characters, dialogue, humor, setting and concept.
>it's sad how TTGL looks better despite being older
Looks better how? Nobody denies that it has more consistent animation, but that was a Gainax big production VS the first series of a freshly established studio, the year hardly matters.
Regarding backgrounds design, storyboards, use of layers, KLK is superior.
