TTGL changed my life when I was a pustulant shy virgin teenager, it was incredible. And honestly it still kind of holds up, the ending is unbelievable. KLK didn't live up to my personal hype but it was fun at least.

I do hope their next production holds up to TTGL though.

Do you think that Imaishi crys at night because he knows that he'll never ever top Gurren Lagann? You can tell how hard he's been trying.

TTGL seems really amazing until you watch a lot of older mecha and realize just how unoriginal it is. Especially Getter Robo; they stole so much shit from Getter Robo.

I mean it's still a GOOD show. Fun to watch; very exciting. Just nothing revolutionary.

>>162255688
He didn't contribute to anything though. Could have written him off (actually should have, like the movie did).
Giving spiral energy to Viral is okay. The rules are barely defined anyway, it's not like you can break them.

>>162255803
Getter Robo is shit though.

>>162255688
It's foreshadowed all the back in episode 4 when Boota feeds his tail to Simon and Kamina. Human Boot is also shown in the very beginning of episode 1,so it's not like it's something they came up with on the fly.

Movies>Series, and the movies would be the undisputed best if they hadn't cut so much of the Viral and Rossiu content. As it stands, the superior direction in Evangelion (original series + EoE only) allows it to tie TTGL for best anime of all times.

Hey now,Shin Getter Robo is one of if not the best super robot manga ever published.
>>162256011
He was one of the Spiral Warriors that went toe to toe with the Anti Spiral and survived,so I don't see why not.

>>162255964
Why not? It fits the themes of evolution. Besides it didn't change anything to the plot, it only made Simon's work easier during a single scene. What mattered was Kittan's sacrifice. Now if Boota had given Spiral Energy to Kittan, that'd be another story.

>>162256011
Of course it isnt.
>complaining about that in a world where human powered mechs bust galaxies

It didn't move Chouginga Gurren Lagann. They were moving towards the antispiral machine before Boota gave his energy. They were doing the exact same right after that.

Wrong again boi,humans are just natural perfect conductors for Spiral Energy.The Anti Spiral race weren't human and they had to make the conscious decision to stop using Spiral Energy.

>>162256477
It's literally explained why he can do it and it does not contracted or make up new rules. Spiral energy has been explained, in the very show, to be the driving force of evolution. Bunta chosing to become a humanoid and boost his sentience is absurd but so is a galaxy sized piece of metal. Bunta using spiral power through years of observation and choosing to help is completely believable as even a family dog with average dog intelligence would want to help it's master / friend. Since the only requirement to help is to "get fired up" it would be absurdly easy for this to happen.

>>162256733

There's still this one thing, how did that faggot Simon defeated his king by just putting that key in his chest?
That's an asspull if you ask me

>>162256740
>galaxy sized piece of metal
It only makes it slightly less absurd, but everything that happens after they break out of the multiverse labyrinth takes place in a metaphysical space. They were only represented as being galaxy sized mechs due to conceptual recognition.

>>162257271
Lord Genome stopped evolving due to despair induced by facing the Anti-Spiral and learning of the Spiral Nemesis, Simon broke past his limitations. This mirrors what happens with the Anti-Spiral in the finale.

>>162257419
>Simon broke past his limitations
If he really did broke past his limitations, then why the king was much stronger than him when they fought?
Why didn't he become physicals Stronger like the king? Why did he had to put that key in his chest to win?

>>162257550
Physical strength is basically meaningless. Simon drilled through him, because he's Simon the Digger. Just rewatch TTGL, all of your questions can be answered by doing that. There's a lot to parse in the show, but there's nothing that should be out of reach.

>>162256589
Let me add that I, as a much esteemed connoisseur of Japanese Animation works, only indulge in the finest of series. Adult themes are a must, and there had better be at least five characters so deep and multi-layered that their characterization can fill an entire anthology. Indeed, my taste is very defined and only the most complicated works may shine their lights on the superior retinas of my brooding, intellectual self's eyes. Be aware, vermin, that any and all anime you like is utter trash and disposable drivel aimed at the lowest common denominator, and my critique, analyzing every mistake with utmost care and attention to detail, no matter how glaringly obvious or barely noticeable it may be to your inferior selves, shall reveal wholly the foul stench of these inferior works. And do not bother to ask whether I dislike "fun" or "entertainment". I have abandoned such childish concepts long ago. I hunger for intellectual stimuli, for something that I'd satisfactory to my complex thoughts and perception.

>>162257271
It has been shown many times that spiral energy can be given mass and direction. Simon fired the energy blast from the drill like a magician fires a spell from a wand or a dragon ball character fires a ki blast.

>>162256870
>>162256733
>>162256558
I was just watching this. Species evolved into more suitable conditions for using Spiral power which anything can use but humanoid forms do it the best. That's why Boota turned into the disgusting human thing to combat and use Spiral power better

>>162257829
Human Boota is a cuteboi though

>>162257917
I try to block it out of my mind more than anything tbqh. Iirc the first episode shows off an adult Boota in the "future" section, I wonder if that means anything

>>162257349
The writer confirmed that Tengen Toppa could make spiral space around him so he could exist in most universes or lack of. And also I don't understand the point you are trying to make, in a show about overcoming impossible limitations you find it impossible to overcome a limitation that you think is too big to overcome?

>>162258041
Supposedly,Imaishi said the first scene is supposed to be the "bad end" of Gurren Lagann where team Dai-Gurren fully embrace Spiral Energy instead of Simon chosing the "Save Nia and the Universe" route. It's basically Getter Robo. At the beginning Simon says that all the lights(the other spiral races) in the sky are their enemies,and in the last episode he says that all the lights in the sky are their allies.
I don't have a source for the interview where he said that,though.

I'm grateful that you pointed this out. It's really annoying seeing anons talking about how GL ripped from Getter, and using the anime for their example. It often seems to be an attempt to get "street cred" and it makes Getter fans look bad to people who actually examine the series.

I didn't read Getter Robo G so I can't say much about it, but the starkest similarities seem to come from Getter Robo Go. The comparison seems more superficial in the earlier works.

Anti-spiral did nothing wrong

>>162262539
Anti Spiral were a collective of lil bitch bois who let a theory get in the way of progression. They represent people who fear growth and change.

>>162262456

Yep. I read Go mostly on a whim, and I got hooked. My biggest exposure up to that point were memes, New Getter Robo, and Getter Armageddon. I ended up liking New more than Armageddon as well as confused as to why "Bat-shit Ryoma" was a meme when Hayato exists. Even when Hayato is sane he's bonkers. Go blew the other two works completely out of the water, it's kind of unbelievable the gulf in quality between the comics and animations are.

But I guess I'm being a bad Anon by not reading in order, eh?

>>162262807
Have you read Arc yet?That's where the parallels between Getter Rays and Spiral Energy are most apparent.Make sure you read the Anthology when you're done,too.It has a couple of good stories.
Getter Robo Hien translation soon,hopefully. It was recently translated fully into baguette,so maybe someone can translate and typeset that into english and release it.I hope it doesn't suck.

>>162262807
Its not really a make or break it kind of thing if you knew the characters and just jumped into Go in my opinion, but you'd probably should have read the original and G before Go.
Especially in the original where Ryoma is just a boxer but Hayato is an evil violent gangster who straight up doesn't hesitate killing people who cross him. Hayato's transition to a leader role is actually really interesting.
G also had my favorite fight in the series, but as a whole Go is still the best.

>>162262963
Not to mention Shin, which is read after Go if I do believe. I think it was then where they establish Getter Emperor.

>>162263008
I would reccomend reading Shin before Go to most people.It's the chronological order,reading Shin first doesn't spoil anything in Go(in fact the opposite is true),and it makes it feel less like something Ishikawa came up with on the fly when editor told him that he needed to foreshadow Getter Emporer before starting Arc.

>>162263155
Was Shin Getter itself in the manga before Go? I just remember that when they whipped it out at the end of Go it was a huge "Oh shit" moment due to being so powerful that it turned your body into pure energy. I feel like reading Shin before it might spoil that moment

>>162263236
Shin Getter was in Shin Getter,if that's what you mean.It might spoil that.That moment didn't have much of an impact on me during my read-through,and I (accidentally) read Shin before Go,so you may be right.
Shin Getter is best giant robot

Like the other guy said, Boota part is foreshadowed several places, in the very first episode even, people interpret it in several different ways, but my personal takeaway is that he stored Simon's own spiral power, as he too is an evolution-powered spiral life form.
The Viral bit I interpreted as a side-effect of having to break out of the anti-spiral dream matrix or w/e it was. It literally took them all to idealistic realities for each of them, and Viral wanted to be able to live, adapt, and thrive like Kamina and later Simon, so in his universe he would have been a human instead of a beastman.

Not exactly. The Toei animes were shit. If you take the older robot IPs and make new series off them, then TTGL's weaknesses show.

Armageddon is better. Shin Mazinger is better. Giant Robo is better.

TTGL lost its way after Kamina died, it would have had a lot more potential if it stayed with Simon turning into Harlock rather than fighting a sketch man.

I can assure you, that the greatest anime ever made is a show made by Gainax that features robot fights and a bitch boy protagonist who's name starts with S. He also has an iconic sidekick with red hair, and another one with blue hair. The show is about him growing up.

Okay, if you fuckers are saying Gurren and Code Geass are trash you're obviously fucking lying. I might not be up to date with all new shit but I've been here when these shows were airing and this entire board was focused only on them, enjoying every second of it and posting about how hype it is.
