The ending was so dumb
Yeah the whole tech and power system runs on themes and bullshit but they didn't have to go so hard on it
Why did they lean so aggressively on characters being different than you'd expect after the time skip? That didn't need to happen
Why did Nia die? Thematically I don't get it, the narrative structure doesn't benefit from it either unless the entire goal was to just not have a happy ending, and even with the constant "themes and bullshit" trend it still felt like there was no fair explanation for what caused it to happen.
And there was simply no counter to the anti spiral ideology. Just "oh shit you're right. Eh, we'll figure it out"

I will never understand why Yoko became less of an active player in the plot as the show went on. They even spent an entire episode making up some bullshit about why she can't be the Gurren's pilot. What the hell.

Creator favoritism, probably.

In favor of Rossiu? If that's the case, then I officially declare Gurren Lagann to be actually shit.

Rossiu was such an irredeemable pile of shit. Is there any more jarring example in anime of a character the author is clearly telling us we're supposed to forgive and like despite them being total garbage? Fuck this faggot

Well, him or Nia.

My favorite part was they were specifically told that once a million people were on the surface then the moon would kill everyone

Wufei. I still don't understand why that twat exists.

>>283123003
>>283123039
On paper, Rossiu is supposed to be the guy who takes logic and rational calculation too far and forgets that compassion still matters. Because if we stop caring about people, and just see them as numbers, how are we better than the Anti-Spirals? The problem is that none of his actions are actually logical. He's just being a cunt.
>>
>>283123232
Yeah it's clear what they wanted to do with him, they just wrote him like a retard

Kinon willingly strapping a bomb to herself to keep Simon on a leash he didn't need was also a masterclass in writing. I know it had been seven years but they were basically treating him like a stranger

Not gonna lie, I do like Gurren Lagann a fair bit less in hindsight.
>>
Do people even still like Gurren Lagann or do they just like Yoko
>>
>>283123296
It hadn't even been seven years in universe since the characters had seen each other. They had been working together the entire time. Rossiu is just a powertripping faggot
>>283123336
It's a very good show, 9/10. The ending is just bleak for no reason, contrary to the rest of the show. There were other solemn moments don't get me wrong but the author was depressed or something when he wrote that ending.
>>
>>283123386
>It hadn't even been seven years in universe since the characters had seen each other.
Yeah but I was talking about how it had been 7 years since we'd seen them interact so the relationships could change since the original first half of the series probably didn't even take a year
>>
>>283123448
Pretty sure Rossiu just didn't want Simon running away or going out in a blaze of glory because he wanted him to play scapegoat to win him some public support and morale
>>
>>283123336

Yes

>>283123296
>Kinon willingly strapping a bomb to herself to keep Simon on a leash
I forgot about the shit. What the actual fuck were they thinking? That is not how you make heroic characters into anti-heroes.

Second time skip was a mistake. Show should have ended on this frame

>Yoko
Simon's soulmate.
>>
>>283124720
Alternatively they could do something set before the second time skip so they could undo a lot of the retardation introduced right in the end. Preferably a story where Simon gets to play the role of Kamina and pass the torch to a new upstart, maybe he finds a way to bring Nia back along the road. Would certainly re-contextualize the post time-skip ending.
>>
>>283124720
The only sentitive option is rebooting but this time with confirmation of Yoko x Simon.

Nia/Kittan/Kamina all still die as cucks.

The fuck are you talking about, he took up the mantle and surpassed him the moment he got his shit together in episode 11, their short reunion in 26 just makes it all the more obvious
>>283122526
I've said it before but I am like 999% convinced Yoko was a design floating around the office that they slapped in hoping she'd take off as their next Rei/Asuka. It pretty much worked but it's painfully clear they only ever got as far as "personable big tiddy girl with a gun", like she is a literal artifact of the earliest episodes when they didn't actually have the plot planned out yet
>>
>>283125463
Why would you ever want that
>>
>>283128900
Anon his first battle post time skip he accidentally got the city carpet bombed then gets locked up. The very next battle he fails to take out the main ship so Gimmy and Darry have to clean up for him (he's then immediately thrown back into prison). It's not until the final battle that he actually embodies Kamina and pulls through.
>>
>>283128967
I personally think the two not ending up together as a mutual survivor thing is lame, Kamina and Nia would would want them both to be happy
>>
>>283129369
having an arc where he has issues adjusting to changing times/tactics has nothing to do with the fact that he became their defacto leader and succeeded beyond Kamina's wildest dreams, and then did so again and again
>>
>>283129416
He absolutely succeeds Kamina in skill you're correct but it's not until the final fight that he fights with full confidence. We get that single fight then he fucks off to be a traveling homeless man
