Gurren Lagann is a good show

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-31 22:06:23

I don't know why I made this thread.

Crystal · 2016-07-31 22:07:58

Yeah.

I only watched the first third of it

Imipolex G · 2016-07-31 22:52:05

doesn't seem like my kinda thing

it does have some boob, though

glennmagusharvey · 2016-07-31 23:24:26

i watched the last two episodes and the first one and I think it's probably a good show.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-07-31 23:29:19

Still haven't seen it but I feel like I'll still prefer KLK once I have. It's probably great and I love Imaishi but I'm just not sure.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-31 23:29:50

I actually haven't seen it in years and don't know if I'd still like it or not.

Crystal · 2016-07-31 23:49:40

I've seen it twice, albeit around high school both times. I reckon I'd still like it, just not as much the third time around. No comment on KlK since that show is for weebs and also I haven't finished it yet.

I also haven't rewatched it but the things that made me like it are still things I like, so.

Hah, true.

Gurren Lagann feels like a practice run for Imaishi more than anything, which is not terribly surprising considering it was his first series.

Macross Plus was the same for Watanabe, IIRC.

Obā-san · 2016-08-01 04:29:25

the worst thing about the Don't Lose Your Way song is that you get the DONT LOSE YOUR WAAAAYYY stuck in your head, but none of the rest of the song, so it can never resolve itself

source: ever since making that post i've had DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAYYY stuck in my head on loop

I still need to give Macross Plus a watch.

And now you've got it in my head.

Obā-san · 2016-08-01 04:32:56

oops

glennmagusharvey · 2016-08-01 04:35:29

I don't think I enjoy making such a big deal about "manliness" but ttgl appears to focus on it in a way that is endearing

Crystal · 2016-08-01 04:40:15

That was my experience with it too, though really, more than anything the manliness felt like a vehicle for a dramatic and hammy coming of age story.

The rest of the main refrain gets stuck in my head, but the words mostly elude me.

this.

Also worth stating I've got a serious soft spot for those sorts of stories, so I can definitely see TTGL still being relatively awesome in my eyes.

Imipolex G · 2016-08-01 05:18:29

I find the "manliness" thing rather off-putting unfortunately.

Bee · 2016-08-01 05:36:49

I mean the manliness was just a vehicle to start getting into how shit actually worked, which ended up having nothing to do with manliness and everything to do with Kamina being Kamina. It was quite usable by women.

Tatterhood · 2016-08-01 05:40:47

I think the MANLINESS stuff was mostly from the first arc anyway (and also exaggerated by the fandom, the show is not actually about gender). I guess there was some level of it later on, but Simon ends up being a pretty different character from Kamina, and that affects the overall tone of the series once he becomes the focus.

Though, it's been long enough since I watched it that my recollection could be distorted here.

Same. I got it on DVD for Christmas years ago but never watched it. >_>
