I lurked 99% of the time exactly because of the fact that I was an underage b&.

Watching GL was fucking magical and /a/ was so much more fun back then with all the OCs. Too bad I was unable to join Geass Sundays the following year because my PC somehow couldn't open 4chan for almost a year.

And man, I fucking hate STTGL's design. Looks nothing like a mecha at all. The other Tengen Toppa ganmen all have some mechanical semblance to their design, but STTGL is just a boring humanoid gigantic green energy with sunglasses and a cape.

One week from now, it's 10th anniversary of Lucky Star anime. You now remember the moe vs GAR civil war on /a/.

The movies weren't very good, fight me.
It's just TTGL all over again but worse. The only thing that was improved was the fight against anti-spiral.

>>155293345
That's a pretty common opinion, really.

Did anyone here actually buy the super expensive BD box set?

Don't agree. The second movie is the definitive post time skip story... flow and pacing is great. I only miss is the pre-moon politics and Rossiu drama which solidify the "heart trumps logic" theme and gives Kittan stronger characterization before his sacrifice. Still it's a steady ride from start to finish and focuses the perspective more on Simon who the story revolves around anyway.

>>155293345
Hey a very underrated point about the movies is the improved voice acting

Those fucking Anti Spiral lines are chilling

I actually thought they tried too hard for the movie, for example the Lord Genome and Kittan final scenes were much better in the TV series.

Anti Spiral was fucking awesome all around, pity his VA doesn't do many roles.

I remember being up until 2 AM waiting for the subs to come in with /a/. It was the most intense episode of any anime I'd seen ever and I think I have yet to experience that level of hype with any media, really.

It was great times.

I haven't seen the movies in a while, so correct me if I'm wrong, but did STTGL even do anything?
If I remember correctly it just went from right from STTGL transformation to the final clash.
It kinda also devalues TTGL how suddenly everyone has their own Tengen Toppa mechs.
Everyone always points out how the movies have the definitive final fight, but I don't really agree.
Maybe I just hate STTGL.

I don't think it had any deeper meaning than to be bigger and more over the top, honestly.

>>155300240
In the end the whole fight comes down a fist fight.
None of the mechs do something of importance.
But they don't back down against an basically invincible foe but grow stronger and stronger and that's why it's so awesome.

>>155300307
Yeah, I think that's my problem with it, they kinda went too overboard with that.

And yes, I do realise how stupid that might sound when we're talking about TTGL.

Also, I don't think "galaxy sized to 100 galaxy sized" is as significant as "planet sized to galaxy sized" if that makes any sense.

This anime was my obsession for a long time.
My friends in highschool even got sick of it.

Lucky Star also turned 10 years not too long ago I remember the war between the two anime.

>>155294856
The only way I could see a sequel series working is if they pull a Diebuster and set it so far in the future that the events of the original series are all but forgotten, and then Spiral Nemesis starts happening.

>>155300396
Yeah, I get that point of view.

Maybe I just hoped STTGL had done more cool shit before they went into the final clash.

Notice how the final fight ends on the TTGL dismantling itself, foreshadowing how Simon will not abuse Spiral Power and refuses to use it to revive Nia

I used to think that but I'm not so sure now. There's a lot of cool shit added like Antispiral tearing through the universe and some scenes are better but some cools scenes were taken out, some of the added stuff is pointless (Gurren brigade getting their own TTGLs turn by turn just so everyone could get a turn was lame) and the Gurren brigade sacrifices are not there

Perfect edition when?

Movie 2 added a good scene where the Antispiral tells the protags Nia will die along with them and trashes/criticizes the protags for not understanding this much

Antispiral wasn't a villain in the end, just an universal law that became obsolete

>>155302832

I agree with Kittan because it somehow seemed rushed in the movie, but Lord Genome's was pretty much the same.

>>155302976
>(Gurren brigade getting their own TTGLs turn by turn just so everyone could get a turn was lame)

I disagree. Sure, the movie having them survive could undermine their sacrifices in a way, but in the TV version it seemed way too much like Imaishi went "oh shit, I have to kill someone to show shit going down", and then went on to kill the secondary characters with cardboard personality. At least in the movie they got to do their part in the final fight, showing that they're also worth shit more than cannon fodder.

Rossiu's attempted suicide was pretty lame in the movie, though.

>>155300240
>>155304370
Nothing wrong with the Combat Breakdown trope, though, it's usually used to show that shit went too far and for too long.

>>155311035
Most subs are hit and miss, some either translate names in other ways(Attenborough/Aretenborogh), and other just don't add enough weight to the moments.

My favorite sub was a spanish one that had the usual names, used a special colorful font for the attacks, and even had the lyrics for the songs in crucial moments showing up above; all that shit made it way better.

I'm sad that there are no celebrations or tributes at all, while everybody is talking about AoT season 2. I'm also sad that in 10 years TTGL didn't have any successors.

Speaking of that, didn't the Trigger guys says that they were going to do 3 anime, of which one was Luluco and another a mecha series that was going to be a homage to TTGL? Or am I imagining things?

Killing people close to MCs at least showed the Antispirals meant shit and they had to accept some losses. You know, the whole hope/despair thing. Gurren Lagann is often about men accepting their deaths and choosing to walk to it the head high, so taking out this part is a bit of a problem. Kittan did it better than them, but it's not the same.

I saw a "Welcome to the Black Parade" AMV on Youtube the other day and watched it, I genuinely felt like crying. I can't believe it's been 10 years.

Didn't think it was well liked, along the lines of it was a disappointment after Haruhi/Full Metal Panic

while it has similar scale it's nowhere near as interesting as TTGL, keep in mind we like the show more for it's characters than all of the super robot action

It didn't had the same amount of characters, but the few that actually got some fleshing out(see, pretty much everyone but Wyzen and Kalrow... and I guess Olga) were pretty compelling.

And for someone who's really one-dimensional, Asura ended up being a great MC.
