Asura's Wrath (and it's DLC in particular)

Technically a game, but it's mostly cutscenes, it's missions are called episodes, it has mid episode commercial bumpers, and it has "next time on previews", so it might as well count as an anime.

Unironically this.

Shin Mazinger deconstructed the super robot genre (and ttgl included) with the ending. Tsubasa thought she was the smartest smug woman in the world and Kouji thought hot blood was key to success, and they got fucked over hard in the end. It's almost cathartic, to see a series that has advocated brawl over brains, and over-confidence to now completely say the reverse.

Which is why Shin Mazinger is one of the most unpopular reboots with its original fanbase, which is why I think it's so great.

> You can't like both
That said, I Shin Mazinger outshines the various Getter OVAs. The best Getter Robo related thing I've experienced is the manga Getter Robo Go, which I highly recommend.

>>161867437
Shin Mazinger outshines Getter ovas overall, but Kawagoe directs better action than Imagawa. I always find myself rewatching snippets of the Getter ovas rather than Shin or Giant a Robo.

>>161865836
Basically the same show as TTGL but worse. All the "hot-blooded" action was pretty weak.

OP here, me too anon. I was going through serious depression back in 07 due to various reasons that I won't get into, but TTGL helped me get through the worst parts of it. The show was a metaphorical punch to the jaw - just what I needed during that time.

TTGL, BANZAI!

Honestly, I do think that TTGL was probably the last anime that had a ton of care put into it and caused such a storm of community. That and Geass, but I fucking hate Geass. I honestly forgot about GL since I've moved away from anime but episode 8, 15 or 16, and 26. God. Fucking. Damn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V7aUT13qtM

Watching these live was astonishing. So many good animators. So much care put into the product. So much hype from the community as it aired. It was definitely the definitive "watch as it airs in nipland time" experience.

>>161870693
i wish i could forget all the episodes just to watch them again and get the same feeling as the first time

>>161870780
Mate, I just got done watching the show for the first time in 10 years. I was surprised by how much I had forgotten. Like, I remembered the main events -- who died, when they died -- but the little things, like the hot springs episode or the dynamics between the 4 generals, were completely blanked out of my memory.

I don't know what it was but I liked KLK better than TTGL

I like this thread.

TTGL was the first weekly show I started following. Everyone kept hyping it so hard everywhere and I dropped it several times thinking it was a generic action show. Then Episode 8 happened.

I caught up with the series around episode 22, when they end it with Simon's shit eating grin saying it was their final battle. I felt like he was talking to me.

Anti-Spirals did nothing wrong

>>161870488
>>161870025

BELIEVE IN THE YOU THAT BELIEVES IN YOURSELF

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER

(if it weren't for the hot-blooded manliness genre, probably would've necked myself years ago)

When I first watched it, I felt that the ending of Gurren Lagann was one of the best moments. Simon's sacrifice for the safety of the whole resonated with me, and still does. Some folks say it clashes with the "Do the impossible" theme, but if the show was literally "Screaming fixes everything", the accusation from mecha fans of it being fake hotblood would be warranted. GaoGaiGar Final went that route, and was criticized for it

>>161871548

The issue with the anti-spirals is that the threat that Spiral Power posed was not explored at all. This plot point was lifted straight from Getter Robo Go, and it was done much better there because the Getter was portrayed as this horrifying, all consuming, possibly sentient force that wreaked havoc across the universe. The Getter was legit scary, while Spiral Power lacked a lot of that weight.
We don't see Simon and crew snuffing out entire planets worth of aliens. We don't so those aliens desperately trying to fight back against the spiral users only to get crushed. We don't see spiral users doing anything but being cool and defeating those who wrong them, so the anti-spiral's reasoning falls short.

What was everyone's favorite arc? For me it goes:

Surface arc > Anti-Spiral arc > Spiral King arc > Human Extermination arc

>>161871751

Is that the TV series? Dude read the manga. TTGL resembles that far more than the TV series. Also, read Getter Robo Go. You can read it alone without too much trouble, since it involves a different cast of characters for the most part.

>>161871879
I've seen at least 20 (20 whole animes) and Gurren Lagann is easily the best in the hot-blooded manliness genre.
