Not enough anons actually talk about how great the show actually is beyond its increasingly absurd scale and flashy visuals. It's underrated in certain ways. I'd watch an entire god damn prequel about Lordgenome, even knowing it'd suck all the mystique out of the previous Spiral Warriors.

I'm not saying the show itself is underrated, anon. I was here in the late 2000s. I'm saying now, years later, any nuance in conversation about it has been lost and aspects like the compelling characters, excellent soundtrack and mysterious setting are mostly ignored in favor of 'muh drills' and Yoko's tits.

Somebody has got to explain to me what about the Japanese makes them do this shit. What's especially insane is that it happened the very same season in Code Geass R2 with Ougi, too.

>>286686480
Same. I'd share it with the better young ones but Gurren Lagann is definitely a show that exudes a youthful hope that zoomers wouldn't get.

>>286687620
They still do which is the crazy part.

>>286688372
It's more of a Trigger show than a Gainax one in my opinion. Even by then, Gainax was carried by the new blood that left for Trigger.

They entered adulthood during a time where the world was and still is going through an economic and geopolitcal decline. There's a reason why nihilism, anger and anxiety defines Gen Z. It's horrible to see and I want it to be over, but no one knows how long it'll be.

I'm a zoomer and I've never lost hope that things will get better, and that we can work towards making that future a reality. That's why stories like TTGL resonate with me so much.
>>
>>286691226
Rossiu is just a misunderstood guy. The only thing he did wrong was not having blind faith in what from his point of view was essentially just magic. He couldn't make decisions about the future of the city or the human race by banking off of that. He wasn't a traitor he was just close minded. Additionally he was correct in that Simon was not a peace time leader, he is a war time leader. Rossiu just made the best of a shitty situation he was put in, it's easy to say in retrospect that "oh of course Simon could just generate enough spiral power to blow holes in dimensions so he should have left it to him" but he did not know that at the time.
>>
>>286698459
Oh also the whole thing of him having Simon on trial for execution and then almost killing himself is the completion of his character arc. The whole point is he's still ingrained in that mindset of his village of sacrificing a few to save the whole, while from Simon's perspective you should strive to save everyone no matter the cost. First he wanted to sacrifice Simon, then after he basically wanted to sacrifice himself. Simon snaps him back to reality and makes him see the truth. A character is defined by their entire arc not just one bad action they do, especially if it's important for their arc

Every important member moved to Khara. Gainax was a tax fraud company by the end of its lifetime.

What you should be sad about is the hacks at Adult Swim buying the FLCL IP before Anno could redistribute it.

Rossiu had no inherent hope. He fundamentally misunderstood what everybody around him in the resistance knew in the most instinctual level. Even when the evidence stared him in the face. Multiple times.

Is he explainable? Yes, absolutely. Does that excuse him? No. Does that mean his responsibility is abrogated? Also no.

watching lagann hen in 4d was one of the best experiences of my life
>>
>>286702906
Lagann-hen is straight up better than the second half. The fat wasn't really very good and was worth cutting, unlike the first half.
>>
>>286703142
This isn't that relevant but since we're talking about shit that was cut from the first half:

My one gripe of Gurren-hen is that they redid Thymilph's voice acting during his fight with Kamina. There's that one specific line he says when he shoots Kamina through the floor and jumps out. In the TV version, he says it with a deep bass/growl, like a boss coming out to end the whole thing by himself.
>sooouu kantan ni wa TSURUZOOOOOUUUU
Once you hear it, it instantly establishes that he is a real threat.
In the Gurren-hen version, he basically speedreads it with zero oomph. I don't know why they felt they needed to redo it except make it shitty. Thymilph barely gets any screentime but that one line gives him enough presence to last and makes everybody take him seriously, and they take it away from him. Can't even accuse them of forgetting which filters they used because it definitely sounds like a new recording version instead of the original line without filters. Probably to justify paying the seiyuu or some nonsense and they were rushing through production. The rest of Thymilph's lines were relatively the same, they just changed the one line. It's really bugged me all these years that they messed with it. I don't even care about Thymilph or anything. I just thought that one line was a key part of episode 8 that added to the episode as a whole.

If I had editing chops, I'd make a fancut of the first half that puts the TV version line back and that's about it. Well, there's also other shit that I wish they didn't cut but I can't reconcile including those bits with the Gurren-hen final fight without redoing a chunk of the story so I'll just settle for the one voice line.

This is my one autistic gripe I'll seethe about for the rest of my life because I'm probably the only one who gives a shit about this. I know nobody asked, but I wanted to bitch about it at least once in my life somewhere before I go back to never mentioning it again.

It was a lesson in sacrifice and how humanity needs to keep moving forward while those at the front have to get out of the way for those that are coming up. It foreshadowed hobo simon stepping out of the spotlight. It was sad but it was a lesson necessary for humanity to eventually win, Simon couldn't have gotten where he did if he lived in Kamina's shadow his whole life
