Let’s be real - a huge chunk of gurrenfags don’t actually care about the themes or the message. They just project onto Simon. It’s classic "awkward loser becomes hot, confident hero" fantasy. The proof is in how obsessed people are with shipping him with Yoko - even though the show literally tells you it’s not about that.It’s not "inspirational", it’s just wish fulfillment dressed up as a mecha epic. People only call it deep because it makes them feel better about their own glow-up fantasies.
>>283085737Uh...NahStupid people like things for stupid reasons, but that doesn't mean the show is undeserving of more intelligent praise
if it was a self-insert wish fulfillment show then simon would have fucked yokocheckmate
That's a lot of yapping to say you're gay and retarded
The word self-insert is nothing but a meaningless buzzord now.
>>283085814It's such a useful word too, real shame it's been ruined
People ship Simon with Yoko because he's the protagonist and she's the main heroine, don't make a retarded schizo theory for something that's just natural.
tldrlook at this 14yo crotch
if it was a self-insert wish fulfillment show then simon would have fucked kamina and viralcheckmate
>>283085737no one do self-insert faggotry, retarded op. what does it even mean? if i liked a show, i liked it. simple as
>>283085814>t.self insert fag
>>283085737anons are right, yoko didn't simp for the mc out of the blue, so he is not a self insert.
>>283086119Not only that, but she loses interest in Simon after a bit and sets her sights on Kamina. That would never happen if Simon was meant to purely be a self-insert.It's very clear each character was meant to be their own person from the outset, not a vessel for the viewer.
>>283086415Did she ever have any interest in Simon? I don't remember her showing signs of that.
>>283085737yes, and nigga?
>>283086501It may just be me reading into things, but I always took this scene from the first episode during the fight with the first Gurren as Yoko flirting with Simon after he lands in her tits.
>>283086555Looks more like an older sister younger brother interaction
>>283086619Yeah, which is why I said I might've been reading into it too much. It would be kinda weird to write that into a story in the first place. Plus, it never comes up again even though Yoko and Simon remain good friends until the end.
>>283085737Bait but TTGL is trash anyway
>>283085737>The proof is in how obsessed people are with shipping him with YokoWho the fuck does this??? He has Nia.
odd bait, but ok
>>283086709Nia doesn't walk around in her underwear The more lewd minded take that as reason enough to ignore her existence
>YO FIGHT DA POWA NIGGA, ACABThey like it because it's westernized garbage. That's why the chanology tourists liked that trash so much.
>>283085737Correct. In terms of the IQ distribution, it's a midwit filter. Retards love it because of Yoko boobs and robots and cool action scenes, high IQ individuals love it for the themes and messages in it (and also for boobs and robots). Midwits don't understand the themes, and think themselves above having fun looking at boobs and robots, so they think the show is bad. A midwit not understanding the ending is the ultimate example of this, they avert their eyes from boobs so much they actually miss the quite obviously laid out themes
>>283086793>high IQ individuals love it for the themes and messages in itIt's middleschooler "mature anime for mature grown-ups like myself" pseudointellectual trash
>>283086855t. midwit
Or worse, when the anti-spirals attack and destroy Kamina City! Who's to blame is Simon, even though the spy tricked them all. It was worse in the original series because the wretches dared to fight the anti-spirals first. If he tries to escape, the jerk planted bombs with the secretary who loves him so much, so that Simon fulfills the mission, but even so, when he returns to save the day, he only sends her to prison at the end of the day! And then again, Simon saves the day and frees the planet, only for the idiot who was manipulated to rebel against the protagonist to show us that he was a person with many backgrounds, and that he carried a great weight, because of his lineage, and just when he was going to take his own life! The protagonist stopped him, even though the guy did nothing relevant in the rest of the story!
>>283085737You misspelled My Hero Academia
>>283085737How good do you think her leather pants smell after her pussy's been marinating in them?
>>283085737Yes, I wish the person most dear to me in my life would fucking die. And then, the person who dragged me out of my suicidal depression turns out to be a traitor all along, seeking to exterminate me and everyone I hold dear.Thst sounds like some good fucking wish fulfillment.
>>283085737People like Gurren Lagann because it's GAR as fuck
>>283086949It is absolutely GAR as fuck I'd like some more of that in my life Bring on the men that will make me stand and salute the TV when they make their speeches
I have not once shipped Simon with Yoko, but I have shipped Yoko's huge 14 y/o honkers with my fat cock.
I want to insert myself into Yoko
>>283085737>his crush falls for his brother>his brother dies trying to put some sense into him>only one girl shows interest in him>they fall in love, but she dies in front of his face>spends the rest of his life as a hoboOP is too retarded to breathe
>>283085737>Wish fulfillment>Wow! Sure is neat to be trapped forever underground and be plagued by frequent earthquakes that could leave me trapped with my only choices being starving to death, dying of thirst, or asphyxiation if the ceiling doesn't crush me instantly killing me>Traveling with a literal gay stranger who we are completely dependent upon for maintaining our giant robot or we'll be fucking stranded in a wasteland who may or may not make certain "demands" of me sure is relieving!>Oh boy I sure wish the big brother I never had would cuck me out of my first crush>What! He dies and it's all my fault?>Awesome just what I wanted!>IF only a cute girl would sympathize with me and validate my feelings.>pic related>What's that? I tried to do the only thing I knew how and ended up causing a massive riot and got kangaroo courted into prison by the people I trusted the most?>Can't wait to get revenge on th- wait... I actually fucked up? And the guy I left in charge was actually doing his job?>Woah everyone is gving their lives in this final battle against these alien invaders but at lea- T-They were just pretending to be weak on purpose and and my friends keep dying for nothing...>Damn what I wouldn't give to be mindraped by inhuman horrors beyond my comprehension>Wouldn't it be so fucking cool if my wife just fucking died the moment we got married in front of everyone and I never see any of my friends again?>It sure would be badass to be homeless and wander place to place and be forgotten by literally everyone
>>283085737...or I think it's cool and sexy.
>>283085737Self insert yourself into a woodchipper, rageposter-san.
>>283085737Yoko and Simon are the soulmates of TTGL, anyone else is a cuck
>>283085737And how exactly it would be better according to you?
>>283085737Yes. And?Why shouldn't I feel good about myself and humanity?Why does everything have to be overly negative defeatist slop 100% of the time?Are you the Anti Spiral?
Some people do get filtered by the message of the timeskip.But there is nothing wrong with someone "self-insertion", seeing yourself in a character's struggle.
>>283085737The themes of Gurren Lagann are:Hope, Belief, Bravery, Courage, Working towards a common goal, Self Sacrifice, Questioning Progress for the sake of Progress, Man's Stewardship, Older generations moving aside and handing the future to the youth, Love and Bonds of friendship.
>>283085737You must be human to understand Gurren Lagann.
>>283085737Strongest genes destined to become one.
>>283085737My wish was to have sex with Yoko and she died a virgin. That's not what i call wish fulfillment.
>>283085737>If this show with hot girls was a cuck sob story people wouldn’t like itPowerful. Thank you for making another spam thread about your gay obsession with male characters traits. Be sure to make 5 more before sunset.
>>283085737I like it because its badass and entertaining as fuckCaptcha: KDASS
>>283085737imagine the hatefuck
>>283085737"Pierce the heavens" is literally more popular than shipfaggotry though.
The series is over.They both died lonely loser virgins separated from each other by galaxies. They probably hadn't even spoken since the final battle. Their bloodlines die with them. That's it. They lost. The end.
>>283091395Umm....they actually beat the bad guy so....they like won...bro.
>>283090276So wholesome.
>>283085737Very deranged take, seek help. It's simply fun.
>>283092289"Humanity" won. They lost.
Every story is wish fufillment. The heroes journey is wish fulfillment. We wish to see the hero prevail over evil and overcome trials.
>>283085737Simon is not a self-insert character.
>>283092469Umm....sweaty....Im pretty sure Seman killed the black guy....that means they won.
>>283091395>They both died lonely loser virginsThe creators said Simon and Nia banged before she died, so.>separated from each other by galaxiesIn the epilogue, Simon (and Boota) are traveling around the world, watching how it develops, while Yoko's still on her island teaching. Both are on Earth, my man.
>>283085737Or maybe people just find it a relatively well written, highly entertaining show? Seriously, why is it always some random reason with you faggets. Are you that autistic?
i only like gurren lagann because of yoko's yokos
>>283085737>People only like Gurren Lagann because it’s self-insert wish fulfillment showSo?
I just appreciate it for being earnest entertainment at this point.
>>283093271yoko dominating simon's drill
This bait is delicious
>>283085737>They are the same age>wants the older young adult dudebroFuck this gate way cuckold shit
>>283085737I assure, Simon is so superior to me in basically every regard once he grew up, I can definitely not self-insert into that, kek
>>283091395>Yoko a virginYeah fucking right, that bitch is probably the best club partying cum dumpster whore in new kamina city getting dicked by men and beastmen alike.
>>283091395Grim.
>>283093911Wrong. Yoko keeps herself a virgin for Simon.
>>283085737
>>283090843what exactly is happening here
>>283094477Gattai
>>283085737People like Gurren Lagann, because they can empathize with Simon.People like Gurren Lagann, because it's about something everyone has to face in their life.
>>283090048No, the big shadow that looms over TTGL is loss.
