The main guys girlfriend was really stupid.
The scene where they break up because she is so mentally retarded that she thought that it was impossible for two people to become one person or some mentally retarded thing and he just accepts like like it was perfectly natural for his waifu to have 40IQ instead of explaining to her that she is actually mentally retarded and that's not what marriage means.

Episode 4 is not only a bad episode but also a botched introduction to Kittan and his sisters. The Kittan Zero OVA is a way better intro for them them.
Post timeskip takes a few too many episodes for the show to get back into its groove.

Episode 4
The Kamina waking up people from the endless dreams was rushed as fuck, Only Simon, Yoko and Viral gets a nice scene but everyone just "Oh look someting in the sky, Guess I'm dreaming"

for many years I liked gurren lagann, would recommend it to others, and what not

but when I really think about the morals from the show, I can't find any. It's just toxic positivity. Just keep your chin up bro. Never give up broooo! and things will magically work out

is that really it... In the end there's nothing interesting about it. It's just empty.
What was your takeaway from the show?

Some actual faggots will claim it's their favorite anime then aggressively misunderstand it.
>>
>>291350177
Simon ends miserable, so the moral is that even if you never give up, things won't always magically work out. Life can be a bitch and kick while you're down, but it's worth living anyway.

I didn't like Simoun, and Kamina carried the show for me, after Kamina stopped carrying I stopped caring.

It's just entertainment bro. Sometimes giant robots punching each other is just giant robots punching each other.
>It's just toxic positivity.
The show itself isn't positive. The positive guy dies in episode 8. The negative guy is legitimately selling himself short. After the positive girl comes in, the negative guy changes the world for the better and after she dies he loses all drive to use his awesome powers for good even though he has proven that he can do defy the laws of the universe if he puts his mind to it.

There's a wild amount of quality fluctuation, especially episode 4, which is weird because it introduces 4 major characters.
There's a couple of slumps in the plot that make me want to skip episodes or watch at 2x speed on rewatch, but I could easily watch the entire show front to back without skipping in a single day if I were inclined to.

They're about equal for me. Yoko is peak sex but also cute while Nia is peak cute but also sex (post timeskip). Yoko wins out because her cuteness levels are higher than Nia's sexness levels.

I think you can take it as either being the memories of Kamina and the other dead dai-gurren members that he keeps in his heart or the actual characters coming into his dream as spiral ghosts. Kamina's comment about Simon getting taller has always made me lean towards them being spiral ghosts.

It ended
>>
The political plot after the timeskip is super contrived. Rossiou having Simon executed and the GL decommissioned to appease to some angry peasants that he was going to leave to die anyway was retarded. His bitch threatening to suicide bomb if Simon got away was super retarded and pure ragebait. Rossiou being revealed to actually feeling guilty and suicidal over his utterly unnecessary hostile actions in order to guilt trip the audience that was duped into hating him over the last two episodes was blatantly manipulative and cheap.

The only thing more contrived was Nia randomly being the anti-Spiral expy out of a million humans just to give Simon more motivation to fight.

>>291327746
The ending that most people already mentioned. I also think the movie’s final fight is significantly worse than the show’s in terms of pacing, with the fist fight being the worst part.
