Happy 10th. I'll always love this show, fuck the shitposter brigade.

lewd

Time flies when you're watching overrated shows.

Did this anime not do well in Japan? The IP seems to be dead.

>>15383022

No it did great and is very popular. There just...isn't anything else to do with it. They left it at what it was rather than try to pointlessly milk it forever.

The character's story all wrapped up for better or worse and they probably figure the characters sold it so just reusing the setting with different characters wouldn't work as well.

> rather than try to pointlessly milk it forever.

Wow that doesn't sound like the Japanese anime industry I know and love/hate. Not even pachinko?!

>>15383305
It's telling that only Bamco does anything for it now, and it's for SRW.

Hell, even the Double K fancomic is dead.

Posting in a sticky.

>>15383305
They announced pachinko machines last year actually.

I only watched this about 4 years ago myself. A really fun ride even if it clunked along a bit.

Never got around to watching it with Japanese audio so I might use this as an excuse to. Happy 10th, TTGL.

Just finnished the sjow yesterday. It was quite nice. The ending was kinda disappointing though.

>>15384101
It was also the first mecha I watched. I know it's offtopic but could someone of recommend me another mecha anime? Maybe something more "grown up" i.e. graver, deeper plot, grown up protagonist etc. Is there seinen mecha?

>>15382898
>it's already been 10 years

What have I been doing with my life?
Besides not building/riding a mech.

>>15384203
Forgot to quote >>15384185

Yoko was the best.

>ONE MACHINE
>EQUAL TO THE GODS

I fucking love that line and SGGL so much. Two of my favorite design elements in mecha are drills and impressive shoulders, so this is like a Reese's Cup.

I remember thinking how funny the "probability missiles" were. Reminds me of playing with action figures with friends as a kid and saying shit like "nuh uh, my guy has a shield and it sent your laser back and killed you instantly".

also fuck you /m/ I think the star shades are cool

>>15382971
This so much

I love old school mech as much as, well probably everyone else on this board, but this show was just pure damn fun.
hell, I prefer it to Getter Robo. There I said it

No /m/ series has made me feel as emotional as this.

But the end was really disappointing. I mean everyone Simon loved is dead. He saved the universe with like 21 but now there's nothing left to do. So he just wanders around in the dessert and teaches little boys how to open coconuts.

There's nothing more pitful as a hero after his adventure

>>15384200
10 years isn't as long as you think it is. The older you get, the shorter it seems.

>>15384387
Yeah man, all he achieved was personal happiness and living his life the way he wanted. If it wasn't for the whole dead wife thing he'd have gotten everything he wanted. He didn't like being the president of earth, and he didn't care about bathing in glory like people like you want him to get because apparently personal happiness is a difficult concept to grasp.

>>15384387
He plants flowers in the movie's end in Nia's honor or whatever..
Makes more sense since the Earth had been deserted for so long and all.

>>15384409
The whole plot was about to evolve, to raise, to "pierce the heavens". Fuck it's even the primary quality of all spiral species to evolve steadily.
So imo it's just not appropriate for Simon to "retire". Especially not with 20 years.[\spoiler]

I rewatched the 1st episode this morning and I STILL can't believe this is 10 years old. Even though I've watched many of the shows that have inspired this and am aware of many of its flaws, Gurren Lagann is STILL my favorite mecha series. Happy 10th, and thank you. I truly will always strive to pierce the heavens.

>>15382910
Don't worry, man, I've gotcha.

(Ahem)

WOW, GURREN LAGANN TRULY DID PERFECT THE SUPER ROBOT STORYTELLING THAT GAOGAIGAR ASPIRED TO, AND FIXED MANY OF THE PROBLEMS. IN FACT, ONE COULD SAY THAT GURREN LAGANN IS GAOGAIGAR DONE RIGHT!

Super Galaxy/Cathedral are the best solely because of the circumstances leading to their creation.

>>15382898
TTGL made me check out Getter, which led to Mazinger, then Gundam and so on.

>>15384249
Arc was cooler.

Arc was really cool, actually. Loved the design, loved its main attack, wish it got more screentime or at least an actual appearance in SRW (fucking Z2-2 making it a ONE SHOT ATTACK didn't count.)

>>15384467
And evolution doesn't happen to a single member of a species, it happens to a species. Simon created an environment for the next generation to flourish and handed off his power to them, after ensuring they could handle it (by way of giving it to someone he trusted).

Too bad she only did anything in the manga.

If the humans were sealed up in underground caverns. Where did they put the dirty they drilled to make more room?

How dare you.

>>15386440
Everyone was required by law to keep a dirt closet in their cave.

Remember that one episode that triggered people because of the animation and no one got the joke?

>>15387112
Joke? Wasn't it just that was a guest director who was supposed to take over for the animation or key frames or some shit but due to the massive negative reception he got tossed to the curb?

Shhh be very quiet I'm fishing for Clawshrimpy

>>15384901
Same here. After watching Gurren Lagann, I heard about how Getter Robo inspired it, so I checked it out and eventually I got invested in more and more mecha series, to the point where I know about obscure shows I wouldn't normally have known about. So, that's another thing I thank Gurren Lagann for.

>>15387244
A flag you made by your own hand is worth just as much if not more.

>>15384519
>Gurren Lagann is STILL my favorite mecha series
Sorry for your shit taste

Except it wasn't a joke.
If the Japanese had actually done their homework on who Osamu Kobayashi was paying his tributes to (Mr. Yoshinori Kanada), the co founder of Gainax wouldn't have thrown a fit. Honestly, both sides were at fault here.

God why isn't Bandai reissuing the SRC for this celebration

Reissues make things less rare/valuable

That said they should so make new figures

This. It's not like they don't have a plethora of designs to bring to life. Even if they were exclusives people would snap that shit up like cocaine-laced Girl Scout cookies.
