I don't get the hate for this as well. It's basically a love letter to the super robot genre, you think this would be loved here.

>>14793559

it's because asshole fans like this try to act like they deserve some kind of special protection from others shit posting on them.

>>14793559

No seriously WHY is this hated here?

There must be a reason.

Is it Simon?

Is it Yoko?

Is it Kamina dying?

Gintama is a love letter to contemporary Japanese culture, so is South Park for the US.
Neither /a/ nor /co/ suck the respective series' dick because they are basically just naming out things that happened and are therefore only slightly above-average shows.
TTGL is exactly the same for /m/ yet even on /tg/ people will tell you that they don't need to touch anything mecha related because TTGL took it all and made it better, which is a load of bull.

>>14793607
Wait, this is hated because of it's Fans?
That's a load of bull.

Besides it doesn't touch everything in mecha. It doesn't even have aspects of real robot. So that can't be the only reason.

>>14793606
>>14793611

Because ttglfags make bait threads like these instead of actually making threads that talk about the show.

Any show would be hated on /m/ if you start with "why do you hate x?"

Because it means TTGLfags are too thin skinned to allow any criticism of their favourite show, even when every other show on /m/ is shat upon, from mazinger to gundam to eva.

Because it means TTGLfags want /m/ to become their personal hugbox.

Pic very related.

>>14793617
Oh right, i forgot about that one. Though that was mostly solved in a super robot way.

Its not as fun when Kamina leaves. The main character cast is very mediocre and unambitious, and the antagonists are boring one-note jobbers.
Even if Kamina was extremely annoying at times, he was the heart of TTGL. It seems as if Imaishi noticed this, as he put Kamina into fucking everything in the second half, from statues to his finishing moves to him showing up in that dream.

>>14793559
>It's basically a love letter to the super robot genre
It's an overrated poorly made one that borders on plagiarism at times more than homage. Take the fact that no one in its fanbase accepts criticism and only make shitposting threads/play the victim as some unjustly bullied sect of /m/ breeds hostility. If ever an actual thread was made about TTGL where real discussion was welcomed and started with something like "how would you improve TTGL?" there would be no issue.

Also in my opinion Gun x Sword is a much better love letter to mecha than TTGL.

This is like wanting to discuss Naruto on /a/

So I see the shitposter is back and acting like we hate TTGL again

Characters are not memorable, Kamina remains the only one who can scream well.
Animation is shit, finishers are shit, choreography is shit.
Music is also shit, fucking rap music.
Story fails at its own ass (lol spiral energy is gonna ruin the universe, so let's kill the only guy who keeps that shit in check and continues to use it instead)

>>14793495
While I agree that the bitching about TTGL is pretty tiresome, especially from the "le cancerous fanbase" faggots, this kind of thread doesn't help.

Make a thread about TTGL that talks about the show, not whether or not /m/ collectively hates it. It doesn't even have to be critical, just make a nice thread about the show/characters/robots.

1) it's 27 episodes and two OVAs. At the end of the day, gurren lagann in both depth and quantity is simple and clean.

2) it's nearly 10 years old, and most importantly...

3)Was, is, will always be EXTREMELY well known/loved/liked.

I remember being around when it was airing. /m/, /v/, /a/ all had episode threads as they aired. Moot made fight the power background music for a fucking week.


The problem is, with anything popular - it's open to more criticism and people who feel it isn't the best example of their genre. Best action movie, rock album, drama film or rap LP? If it's popular, someone has a list of 27 reasons why you're fucking wrong and it's shit.

Take a look at the recent ANN poll of strongest pilots. Simon is at the you with 27% nearly ten fucking years after the show ended. The rest of the list is peppered with mainstream Gundam pilots and fucking shinji.

Ryoma, Kouji, Gai, I think even amuro are largely absent from such a list. So TTGL gets that rep of being The Dark Knight on the top 100 movies via IMDB.

rest assured I fucking love it and was a little dissapointed to see it on the chopping block for SRW V, but the main thing is people want you to learn to take criticism against it and that there are tons of great mecha anime out there besides the most popular.

The reason TTGL can't be discussed on /m/ is because the show is so shallow there's literally nothing to talk about.

I really like it but what can I say aside from "it looks good"
It's all style and no substance.

Evangelion has room for theories and discussion, Gundam is vast enough for all kinds of debate - which shows are good/shit, etc
Other mecha stuff is niche enough to get passionate threads from small groups of fans

But TTGL leaves you with nothing, nothing to talk about. I've met other people who like it and it's always just been painful because they've had nothing to say aside from ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH xD and all the other memes. It's just flash and shouting. The characters are 1-demensional and simplistic. The plot is "shout until you beat the bad guy" over and over. That's it.

This is also why all threads about TTGL are about "why can't we talk about TTGL" instead of threads about TTGL.

OP, if you really, REALLY wanted to talk about the show, as you claim, you'd have started a discussion about it. Asked a question about the plot or characters or mechs, but no, you just wanted more shitposting and you got it.

That's why you can't talk about TTGL.

just a little remainder
next year is gurren lagann's 10th anniversary, so the shitposting will be multiplied
that is, if hiro doesn't kill us because the board is taking too much money

I hate the spic posters who just want to shit post Getter discussions. It especially doesn't make sense because it all came from that one Mexican violently sitting all over Getter because it conflicted with his shitty tastes and his being upset that people kept rightfully comparing Getter to TTGL and how Getter is superior and just a more whole experience. Calling people who like Getter a spic literally makes no sense since the spic HATED Getter.

Spiral Energy was intended to be a 1-up of Getter Rays.

Comparing Spiral Energy and Getter Rays is like comparing Saitama and Superman.

The former is by essence undefeatable because the entire point of it is to be so.

Oh also,Gurren Lagann lacks a complex story however it has amazing visuals, great music, and ohhh boy the robot designs.

Yeah, the story is lackluster.

Yeah, the characters are not exactly complex most of the time.

But who cares, Super Robot anime is about giant overpowered magic robots duking it out and making DBZ look like a joke in comparison.

Also Dai-Gurren Lagann is the most underrated form.

>>14798209

No it doesn't.

The characters are barely two-dimensional, it's overly edgy, and tries too hard to drive home the whole "hurr super robotto bayd" bullshit that the depressed edgelord they had instead of a writer had made up in his antidepressant-addled delirium.

And don't get me started on the pointless christian imagery and the "haha fuck you" ending.

And the fact that EVAfags seem to think they're clever and deep for projecting onto the equivalent of a Mary Sue fused with the worst parts of Tomoko Kuroki just to find meaning where there was none intended.

Both GL and EVA have lackluster stories with cool visuals and awesome fights.

The difference is that GL isn't pretentious tripe.

For you, maybe.
But for me, its awesome characters piloting magic robots and duking it out, something that Gurren Lagann fails in.

>>14794134
This. If you praise something enough, eventually you'll run out of good things to say about it. Criticizing really popular stuff is something that happens on every board, and it's not out of spiteful contrarianism, but an interest in having actual discussion.

Not for TTGL.

>>14798235
>Spiral Energy was intended to be a 1-up of Getter Rays.
Except it's the opposite, it's dumbed down Getter Rays that simplify what they are from progress to just effort. This also removes the aspect about how Getter energy is not a force of good and can even be viewed as a force of evil, because progress can depend on perspective whether it's good or not and when you bring up the subject of morality progress can be very questionable. Spiral energy is just "effort is a good thing"which is why the Antispiral is literally just entropy as a character.

>>14799100
One question?

Why didn't they just switch to using Anti-Spiral energy and Spiral energy at the same time?

Sorta like AC?

>>14799106
Because humans have no way to create Antispiral energy, even though shouldn't being complacent and down on yourself generate it?

Eh, I think they are fine considering you literally just have to yell and believe in yourself to generate spiral energy.

>>14799133
Dude, maybe the anti-spiral is even greater than human because he manages to create anti-spiral energy.

the point of the show is about overcoming obstacles, the cast thinks they can legitimately overcome the spiral nemesis. That and their only real other option was to accept getting the earth wrecked by the anti-spiral. Granted its still a knock-off of the getter emperor plotline

>>14800784

Considering the Spiral Nemesis consists of the universe entirely filling with mass and turning into a giant black hole, yeah.

They can, especially singe unlike the Anti-Spiral, Gurren Lagann can defeat two universes of nothing but Anti-Spiral Energy SIMULTANEOUSLY.

If anything, the Spiral Nemesis will turn out to be some bullshit like Azathoth.

>That and their only real other option was to accept getting the earth wrecked by the anti-spiral.
The anti-spiral has no problem with people existing as long as they don't use spiral energy.

I tried to start a thread about Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles once.
Not a single macross character design or mecha design in the show, it's basically just a continuation of Mospeada with a couple of Southern Cross characters but it still quickly deteriorated into yet another chorus of Macross fans whining about HG blocking them from having all those Macross sequels that they downloaded anyway.

It really sucks being a Mospeada fan because the only way we'd ever get more material is through Robotech and even if it did happen there's no way I could discuss it here on /m/.

I mean, you can name shows with hip hop, you can name shows with subs, and you can name space shows, but Ryvius is like the only example of a show that fuses those elements together, let alone in a synergistic fashion.
