Whats so special about TTGL?

[camus]

Seriously everybody says it is so great, I don't see what makes it so special I watched the first 6 episodes and then quit watching it. Whats the appeal, didn't seem to have that great of a story premise and the two main characters are annoying one is a freaking wuss and the other talks too much.

But I am open minded enough to hear why this anime is so highly regarded so I you guys could enlighten me as to where the hype and all the love for this anime comes from, I would greatly appreciate it.

oh, and is there any romance? i don't particulary like this genre but i prefer action anime with a touch of it.

1st Edit: wow, I guess I hit a pretty sensitive issue. I don't really care if I get neg reped, I just want to make it clear that I wasn't trolling. I really just wanted to know why TTGL was so great? That is all, something that very few have answered constuctivelly. Something that doesn't say much for its fan base.


2nd Edit: sooo..... after having watched up episode 11, I can only say thanks to those guys who gave constructive feedback and told me to watch up to episode 8, you guys did a great thing otherwise I would of missed out.

for the rest of you guy, you all are doing the series a great diservice by flaming people with legit questions, it seriously made me question whether i should watch it or not, but i'm glad there are people that can take critisim well.


3rd Edit: Well I'm done with the series. And to answer my own question, what made TTGL so great for me was that it was pure adrenile rush. Its just fun! I really enjoyed watching this series and would like to thank the true fans for the feeback I got that led me in the right direction. Although I must say, you guys got a lot of bad blood in here too, blood that isn't TTGL worthy. But for now I'm just sad its over :(.

[Paul the SK]

Only the first 6 episodes? The plot is about to take off if you just watched one more episode.

Yes, there is romance. You stopped right before the big part.

And about the characters, there will be some huge development.

[KLoWn]

Seriously everybody says it is so great, I don't see what makes it so special I watched the first 6 episodes and then quit watching it. Whats the appeal, didn't seem to have that great of a story premise and the two main characters are annoying one is a freaking wuss and the other talks too much.

Please watch till the end of episode 8 and come back and make a new thread.

[Pimp of Pimps]

Well I don't see how you couldn't like this after the first ep.

[Vino]

You fail for not liking TTGL. Lol on your disabled rep, fear of neg much?

Seriously, you should have watched one more episode, then it got interesting, the first 6 were to introuce the ganmens and beasts, and of course Gurren Lagann.

It is the best anime ever, you actually quit before the most impressive set of episodes

ever

Its the second best anime ever. Eureka 7 shits all over it

You should at least watch to ep 10 though

[Vino]

Are you fucking serious? Eureka seven was horrible beyond words, it doesn't come close to TTGL, and the plot was horrible, 60% of it was Eureka whining because she is an alien :notrust

[Vegitto-kun]

E7 was good but not as good as TTGL

[Yagami]

^^ My fav anime is Eureka 7.

I was looking forward to watching TTGL but one thing I hate is weak and Sissy main characters. Could anyone please tell me if the main char of TTGL is a sissy/Cry baby?

[camus]

well thanks for to the guys who gave constructive critisim, I will give it another shot and watch it till at least episode 8-10.

and for all those 12 year old fantards, notice I never said the anime sucked. I was just wondering as to why it was great and gave some feedback as to what I had seen.

The 6 episodes I saw had great action but thats about it, no compelling story behind or characters that appealed to me thats why I quit watching it, but the action was great. It seemed to me like it was going in a very linear directions with a fight in every episode with very little meaning to it.

But again thanks for the feedback. I will watch those episodes again and let you know if I agree with the general consensus.

[Yak]

It's a pretty good anime. But far from the best thing ever. The exaggerated hype it receives from its rabid fanboys only diminishes its reputation, sadly.

[camus]

^^ My fav anime is Eureka 7.

yeah I don't mind the main character being a wuss but only at the very begining, like hajime no ipp but only if they show rapid potential or that there is something actually strong about them.

[Aokiji]

The main character of TTGL is a failure. but later he'll change.

[ydraliskos]

Are you fucking serious? Eureka seven was horrible beyond words, it doesn't come close to TTGL, and the plot was horrible, 60% of it was Eureka whining because she is an alien :notrust

Shut the fuck up.

Get out.

:notrust

[VaizardIchigo]

It gets really good from 7 onwards in my opinion. Not that the first 6 weren't good. It's really up to you. There is romance though it doesn't become big until the second half of the series.

And I find it hard to compare this to E7 so enough with the arguing.

The main character starts off kind of a wimp but becomes awesome later on.

Really, it's your choice whether you like it or not, but I would recommend at least going up to 15 before you decide to drop it.

[Paul the SK]

TTGL is the best anime ever.

[VaizardIchigo]

Well, I for one won't argue with that, but really it depends on the person.

[Prince Leon]

I certainly wouldn't call it the best anime ever.

There's more than enough competition to make that an arguable claim.

[PradaBrada]

Its the second best anime ever. Eureka 7 shits all over it


l o l
E7 was good but TTGL >>> E7

and if you haven't seen TTGL yet, don't read into the hype, experience it yourself

[Blind Itachi]

Well.. stopping right before the story starts to pick up the pace (both action and storywise) isn't a good reference to make a bashing thread at all...

trust me... i don't like mechas at all... i "endured" eureka seven just because i was reading the manga (wich is more insightful and violent) but you know... what makes me enjoy TTGL is the feeling it leaves when i watch it...

i'd say it's like adrenaline... to say something...

[Paul the SK]

I certainly wouldn't call it the best anime ever.

There's more than enough competition to make that an arguable claim.
Well TTGL is the best anime I've seen. Plus all the animes that people have said are better than it aren't in my opinion. So to me TTGL is the best anime.

[~Shin~]

In terms of pure entertainment factor, TTGL is by far the best I have seen. No other anime has given me the same appeal or feeling than what TTGL has done. But if we go in terms of plot, character development and all that other stuff, then TTGL isn't that great. As I have said many times to others, watch TTGL only for fun. Don't go digging into it for some extravagant and intriguing plot.

The show has a lot of cliche elements but the way it's executed is simply astounding. The animation is superb and the characters are also some of the most likable I have seen. On top of this the music really sets the mood. I'd give this whole series a try but don't watch it if you are the one to look for seriousness in anime.

[Robotkiller]

I still don't get why people don't like the first few episodes, hell, I even enjoyed episode 4. It's just people trying to poke holes in a bucket that already perfectly carries water.

[L O V E L E S S]

Okay, you seem to have put whatever you wanted to say properly, so I'm not going to eat you alive, and I'll answer you.

If you quit after 6 episodes, then you can say that you haven't even seen this series at all. I would say those first 6 were just introductory episodes, with a hella lot of kick-ass fun fused into them. I would say the real story starts after that, which you have no idea about.

Episodes 1-15 is really straight-forward, almost non-complex and really gets to the point - so you don't have to understand stuff and really concentrate on the animation and the greatly done fight scenes.

And well, the main theme for 17-27(final episode) I would say is definitely ROMANCE. I'm sorry if that isn't good news for you. I could tell you however, that even if the main theme for that story arc is romance, it's almost impossible to see it clearly since it'll be overshadowed by something much, MUCH bigger. So maybe that's better for you.

Hopefully you'll carry on. Since it gets better. ALOT. It's definitely one of the better things I've seen in anime, and I don't regret having watched it a little bit.

Well Put. Though I didn't think the final episodes were romance. More like...nevermind...spoiler for the OP.

[~Shin~]

The final episodes are driven by romance but not just completely composed of romance. All I can say is the last few episodes were just EPIC.

[Xell]

I gained a six pack from watching TTGL. It's just that awesome.

[Ennoea]

Your lucky you disabled your rep.

Anyway ep 8 is a turning point for the series so watch till then and then say if TTGL is special or not.

[erictheking]

It's a great anime series. Everyone has already said that you need to watch more, but personally after the first few episodes I felt like watching it all. You probably won't enjoy it as much as some other people but it's a good anime without doubt.

It actually increased my menstrual cycles. So I get my periods moar often then I use to. Thanks to TTGL, of course!!! :awesome

[Legacy_Warrior]

I for one, never liked it, and dropped it around episode 18. I really don't get the hype. It was just so average..

Please give me a better explanation to why so many love it so much.

[dilbot]

no doubt TTGL IS a great series, better than naruto currently and probably will be for a long time. Though one thing that has crossed my mind throughout watching the whole series is that gurren-lagann is a bit too overpowered... even though most of the enemies are beastmen and

Beastmen can never compare to humans

maybe i didnt find it AS great as some other people do because i dont really enjoy mecha animes as much or maybe naruto sucked out my adrenaline T_T. Also i got some huge spoilers from ava's and accidentally going to the last page of the TTGL thread and reading the first post on that page.

really dont click this spoiler if you havent finished the series:

Nia dies, i wasnt even at the part where they met nia!

[L O V E L E S S]

We don't have to explain ourselves to you. You're beyond help.

If you've watched till episode 18 and don't like it, then we can't help you anymore. Not to be harsh or anything, but get the fuck out of here.


I don't know what series you're currently watching - but please, enlighten me of what they are and tell me why it makes TTGL 'so average'. I don't know what could possibly top TTGL for this year, Gundam 00, Dragonaut and possibly some others - but they're all new and recently just started, so we don't know.



If you're just trying to troll and get some anger from us, then you certainly got mine. But still, stay away from here since we try to take this series very seriously while having lots and lots of fun.





EDIT: dilbot, I'm sure we all noticed that. This series has more plot(GAR?)-no-jutsu than Bleach and Naruto combined. You just have to deal with it. =)

[Razza]

There are no plot devices. There's just Spiral power and KICKING REASON TO THE CURB!

And as you said, the only things thus far that seem to have any potential to get anywhere near TTGL this season are Dragonaut, gundamoo, and Clannad though I base that last one on the popularity it seems to be holding with others.

Well TTGL is the best anime I've seen. Plus all the animes that people have said are better than it aren't in my opinion. So to me TTGL is the best anime.

That's what I meant. It's more appropriate to say it's the best anime you've/I've seen in a while but just saying "ever" would automatically bring about discussion and comparison to other anime out there that have also been called "the best ever". That's all I meant by "I wouldn't say it's the best.". :laugh

I for one, never liked it, and dropped it around episode 18. I really don't get the hype. It was just so average..

If you got that far and dropped it then I suppose this show just isn't for you. Though usually a person doesn't wait until 18 episodes in to drop a show...that happens while the show is still in the single digits.

[ezxx]

It's just, for the most part, a universally enjoyable show. It's very easy going, action packed and has memorable/lovable characters. Aside from that, there's nothing that's amazing about it. The plot...well it's not there :laugh

I like it quite a lot but it's far from the best i've ever seen, nor is it on my top 10 list. That said I can understand people saying it's the best thing they've ever watched, it is after all very enjoyable.

[RacheT]

I honestly think what makes the anime is the adrenaline rush it gives you. It's a full-throttle exaggerated anime; which makes it good! It has a very positive theme to it, something you don't find a lot in any type of entertainment.

The storyline, character development, theme, etc.; are all good, but I think it's the "power" the show emits to the viewers that makes it such a great anime.

[Taleran]

Seriously everybody says it is so great, I don't see what makes it so special I watched the first 6 episodes and then quit watching it. Whats the appeal, didn't seem to have that great of a story premise and the two main characters are annoying one is a freaking wuss and the other talks too much.

But I am open minded enough to hear why this anime is so highly regarded so I you guys could enlighten me as to where the hype and all the love for this anime comes from, I would greatly appreciate it.

oh, and is there any romance? i don't particulary like this genre but i prefer action anime with a touch of it.

you obviously lack courage


and the idea of someone liking Saint Seiya and not liking Gurren Lagann is laughable


Kick reason to the curb, open your mind, eyes and ears hold onto your seat and get ready to ROCK


oh and Slip that comment about E7 saddens me greatly

[secret_toad]

What i liked best about the anime is that it had everything romance, saddness, action, science, and anti emoness.
The have quick excellent character development,
the show the main character grow and become stronger,
bad guys becomeing good guys,
what happens to the characters after their adventure,
and it even has characters you love soo much dying.
It is truely Epic.

[raibbhani]

Yoko's alone was enough for a reason to watch it.

[golthin]

Yoko's alone was enough for a reason to watch it.

I agree with this! I was ready to quit watching the show if they had killed her!
Good thing they didn't though the way she ended they might have. Still I was relieved she lived. Gainax only killed two "Woman" in TTGL and as far as I know only has killed 4 women in all their shows. two of them were robots, one was a beastman and the most recent one was a Virtual being. IT is safe to say that any woman that is human in a gainax's show will live.

[Sagara]

I like the anime, but one point really perturbed me. Kamina is very GAR-ish but i kinda sympathize with Simon.Nobody seems to like or appreciate him. Neither do they realize that he too plays a part. I'm on episode 4 so my opinion may be some what base-less, but does this change later on?

[Amatsu]

Nah I felt the same way about Simon... It led me to disliking Yoko a little around episode 8.

Still Simon get's better. He's not Shinji,

This is a great anime. TTGL is what 300 would be like if the Spartans fought the Persian army with Mecha

[Kyuubi Naruto]

I'm debating about watching it considering the massive amount of hype it has along with the constant references and sigs I've seen of it. I'm usually turned off of new anime after seeing it have this much hype, this surpasses E7's hype it received but that was definately enjoyable. So far I already dislike Kamina and I know the longer I watch the more I'll dislike him.

I'm wondering should I jump on the bandwagon and download it or just stick to the side. If so then is there a way I can download every episode at once.

And since when is 'anger' equals to 'emo'? That's funny.

You're right, probably nothing. 2007 sucked, lolz

See? So how is TTGL 'so average' when you think series from 2007 sucked? What series could possibly be out there that TTGL fails to compare to? There must be something.

Though I would've loved to see more plot development for Yoko after Nia's arrival, the plot was changing.

The main male went from Kamina -> Simon and the main female went from Yoko -> Nia. It was a natural switch.

Yoko still had her moments (THANK U!) ~21 my favorite episode in the series.

Am I the only one who feels as if TTGL is another typical mainstream anime?

It has the hot chick
It has the cool guy who never gives up
It has the coward as the main character
It has the main character's lover who appears out of no where. In a box too!
It has cool transforming mecha!
It has the badass bad guy who turns good
etc. etc..

[Pandaza]

E7 was good while it lasted but TTGL...it was just great through out the whole anime

[Felix]

Its supposed to be a homage to many of the Mecha series of the past fucktard.
Anyway, you cant criticize a series if you havent seen it all. So shut up, and come back when you have seen the 27 episodes, then you have the right to say "It isnt good, because of X,Y,Z"

Until then, your opinion is worthless.

I haven't posted in any of the Naruto sections for like 2 years!


Am I the only one who feels as if TTGL is another typical mainstream anime?

It has the hot chick
It has the cool guy who never gives up
It has the coward as the main character
It has the main character's lover who appears out of no where. In a box too!
It has cool transforming mecha!
It has the badass bad guy who turns good
etc. etc..

?????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????

I can do the same thing for every anime. Hell I can do that for very fucking shounen out there.

For example, Naruto:
Main character who wants to be the strongest
Typical anti hero who rivals the main character
The main character always want to rescue others
Add in a perverted teacher
Then the battles which are complete plot induced stupidity
The bad guy turns good with a "JUSTICE PUNCH!!!1111"
Also the girl who literally has an orgasm over the anti-hero.
etc. etc. etc.

It doesn't take much to make anything as cliche as you make it out to be. It's all about execution. Even the most cliche elements can be done well if the execution is perfect.


But seriously do you really fucking think that people would all just be calm when you come in here and basically say TTGL sucks. Use a little common sense.

[xpto]

Anyone who bashes TTGL must be GIGA ROCK MAXIMUM'D FUCK! :yell

Now really, everyone is entitled to their opinions and people have different tastes. Try to get atleast to episode 8. If you still don't like it, there's nothing we can do now is there? Go and watch another anime instead of bashing one you don't like because that's bounded to get you negged and hated.

MINNA NO PEACE IT'S ALRIGHT, LOVE AND PEACE ROCK MY SONG! :gar

[Dio Brando]

There is nothing special about it other than the enormous amount of hype and wanking that happens on this forum.

[Ciupy]

It's a matter of tastes..we like it because we like it..a huge number of people will like it because of "x,y,z" reasons,while some will not like it.

It's how it goes and it is called personal preference..

There have been many great shows that people have reccomended me and said that they are great (and I don't doubt that they are great..but they are great for them),the most recent being Code Geass..couldn't get into that one at all.

You just don't like it and that is that,while we like it and that is that..it's a matter of heart and soul actually..:oh

So I don't really think that somebody will be able to convince you or change your mind or even give you 100% sound reasons..we just..adore TTGL..:iria

[Doggie]

Sorry, but E7 was the worst series I've ever seen =/

Okay, now you're just trying to piss people off. Plot wise, and in terms of character development, Eureka 7 is a hell of a lot better that TTGL.

TTGL is a great series, there is no denying that. But what started out as fun on this forums has turned into a mindless group of TTGL fanboys who go crazy the second they hear it criticised, and bash anyone who doesn't think it's "OMG BEST SERIES EVAR"

It's become overhyped to the point that it's starting to get annoying.

[Nexas]

Come on guys leave the OP alone. He isn't bashing TTGL. He just wondering whats with all the hype. And you shouldn't be surprised by this. Seeing how huge the hype is on the forum it should come as no surprise that some people will be disappointed when it doesn't live up to the hype.

So you hate it because it's popular? It's funny how the people who actually hate TTGL base their reasons on the fandom instead of the actual series. What? You don't have anything to criticize from the actual series you're hating on?

[Red]

Hey I have an idea why not all the haters come together and circle jerk while BAWING.

But no one bashes E7 while I'm around and gets away without at least a shut the fuck up :amuse


TTGL is still awesome tho.

you see! that is where you are wrong, maybe E7 is the worst series for him.
Does his opinion matter so much to you? It is just one opinion. Lets say they made a poll and 70% of the people polled said E7 was the worst show ever. Will that change the way you think about the show? We are in community that if people don't agree with what you like you have to try to argue with them till you convince them. This is the only thing I don't like about the internet anime fandom. I never call a show to be the worst thing ever even if it was, because there are people sensitive enough that will feel hurt by this. The shows I rarely don't like are very few though.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

Has the OP seen ep 8 yet?

[Pandaza]

if im bashing on E7 then my bad, but compared to TTGL, E7 didnt really give me that excited feeling, like E7 is just way too serious about this and that (sorry cant remember what its about, havent watched it in over a yr)

Yes, everyone has different opinion, there are common thought but no similar brains. We all have different opinion and tatse. If someone like this and that let em be, they arent you, your brother, family or w/e. who gives a crap. Maybe try watching the whole anime, try to see and understand why they like it so much, dont just think one sided.

first time writing this much, guess its time to go eat some oreos~~

[Razza]

... I liked E7... one of my top 5.

Had to say it.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

lol, theres nothing wrong with liking Eureka 7 more than Gurren-Lagann. ROFL. I kinda like FMA more because i saw it long before Gurren-Lagann existed and because i loved the story,animation and characters alot! I love Eureka 7 too but i like Gurren-Lagann much more because its more action oriented and the story doesn't feel confusing.

[L O V E L E S S]

Has the OP seen ep 8 yet?
Who cares anymore? It's like the OP posted this and never came back.


This thread is falling, it'll die soon. I think it's gone waaay out of topic. :arg

TTGL IS THE BEST ANIME EVER! :yell

no anime had ever made me cream my pants every single episode! :spaz

I don't hate the series . Did you read my post? I love the series. I just don't think it's the best series ever. See, you're a prime example of the Gurren LAgann fan I'm talking about, jumping on my post because I don't think it's "BEST EVAR"

TTGL is a great series, there is no denying that.

Yeah, that sounds like someone who hates the series alright. Try reading through posts before making shity conclusions.

[KLoWn]

He did edit his first post actually, and i kinda agree with him.
Lots of people here started being fanboy over his questions, can't even begin to see how they took it as bashing. And i really don't see why he needed to be neg-rep'd for that post.

[Souten Kishun]

Humans are built to voice their opinion. If we don't communicate it then it gets bottled up inside and the person suffers.

Therefore, when people say they don't like something (an anime in this instance), a war breaks out like this because the other people (who are for the anime) want to voice their opinion.

As sad as I am to see that some people don't like TTGL as much as I/we do, I find these kinds of topics quite entertaining xD It raises a lot of good points and usually only helps to strengthen the bonds between the people who like it =)

nobody is hating on him for having an opinion. It's his right. It's the fact that he made a TTGL bash thread where he says that the only reason he doesn't like the show is because it's overhyped. He then stated he was going to watch an even more overhyped series ie Lucky Star. Basically that right there made him a hypocrite.

If he was making this thread and was saying he didn't like it because of the story and characters. As well as make a good argument for that. I doubt anyone would be on his case. As far as I'm concerned you reap what you sow, and what he sowed was a big pile of shit.

Heh, I just checked and I didn't notice that there was an edit right there. :O He seems to have been negged alot too, hopefully he didn't get ravaged much. Not like it matters, he has his rep on hide anyway.

I can't see where the bashing was either. He was asking a question, and that about it.

I wonder if he's still watching the series, or quit. :/

Yeah, it'd be great if he continued all the way. It probably wouldn't matter to me if he didn't go 'hide-the-knives' crazy over it as the rest of us do, as long as he just gives the series a chance and likes it moderately - that'd be enough.





And there was someone with a Sasuke avvy!?! WHAAR??? :yell

You fail for not liking TTGL.

Get over yourself

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with most GL fans. There are a few around here that get on my nerves, big time.

Of course I have a problem with stupid opinions.

Personal preference is one thing, but objectivity hasn't yet dissapeared from this world, and because of that, I can safely say that your opinion is full of shit and that E7 is in fact a great series and not a bad one or the worst.

Until you realize that opinions can be wrong too, despite not wanting to admit it, there's not much point in this conversation.

[Vino]

Bingo, I post my personal opinion and you can't do anything about it, I think E7 is the worst shit I've ever seen, yes more than Pokemon, so stop bashing me for not liking it because it will drag forever.

@Doggie: That part with the "you fail for not liking TTGL" was a joke, I said "Seriously" later and told him to watch more episodes and than decide, apperantly you have understanding problems.

[Doggie]

How does saying "seriously" change anything? Obviously people are going to have trouble understanding you if you can't even say things clearly. I guess saying seriously makes everything okay now.

You're a fucking idiot, seriously

Am I doin it rite?

Ah, that explains why you came back to the thread :hehee

I have no problem with your opinions, the only thing that bothers me is that you can't even express your opnions without being a total asshole.

When you don't like an anime, just say it. You don't have to start spouting shit like "It's the worst anime ever, worse than pokemon"

Thats what I did!!!

Dude, I don't like E7, its my opinion, I don't like the story at all, and I think TTGL is light years better than it. I wasn't asshole at all, I just said the truth about how I think thats all, its not my problem that you get pissy because of it. This is the Internet and I can express my opinion however I want, there is no rule to be nice when you express your opinion about an anime. I tell you to get over yourself because you keep bashing me just because I hate it, so yeah if you don't like my opinion, hit CTRL+F4 and go to somewhere else :amuse

[Doggie]

Yup this is the internet, you have the right to say whatever the fuck you want. I think everyone knows that by now, to be honest. I also have the right to tell you that I disagree, do you understand? I've already told you several times I have no problem with your opinion, but it appears you keep missing that.

You said that E7 was "horrible beyond words" and that it was mostly just "Eureka whining about being an alien."

If someone made such a criticism about TTGL, they'd be flamed out of here, and you know it. It's a pity we're having this arguement, I don't want to seem like an asshole, believe me. But I don't agree with what you said, and I'm exercising MY right to tell you that.

Yes you are, you can disagree with my opinion, but its pointless to fight over this. You DO have the right to tell me that, but you don't have to be an ass about it and flame me, you can say that you disagree with me in a normal way and I will understand. I bashed the OP because he only saw like 6 episodes of the total 27 and he had no right to judge it. I watched the whole 50 episodes of E7, and thought "hmmm...the story wasn't good enough for my liking" and expressed my opinion. It is pity, thats why I want some mod to lock this thread since the OP won't come back.

[camus]

sooo..... after having watched up episode 11, I can only say thanks to those guys who gave constructive feedback and told me to watch up to episode 8, you guys did a great thing otherwise I would of missed out.

for the rest of you guy, you all are doing the series a great diservice by flaming people with legit questions, it seriously made me question whether i should watch it or not, but i'm glad there are people that can take critisim well.

oh a side note WTF episode 8, I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! just when I was starting to like the guy and he freaking dies, wtf that seriously sucked I feel sorry for his girl too, :(. but looks like this experience will jump start simon into hopefully becoming a bad ass himself. I seriously didn't see anything like this coming.

Yeah veho and churchill don't do this type of animes much justice so I'm going to have to download the rest, Its hard not to watch the whole thing in one sitting.

And don't watch TTGL online, you should download and watch it in full quality, because online episodes shit down the quality :(

As for Kamina, well....:(

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

Glad you finally decided to continue and now you enjoy it. Its a show thats epic and made of win. I'm susprised one person saw up to 18 and didn't enjoy it. I think they were lieing. ^_^

[Denizen]

Wow, this thread is ZETSUBOU

I actually find it hard to understand why you wouldn't like Gurren-Lagann unless you're a really negative person and only sees faults, or expects omething different and gets dissapointed.

Gurren-Lagann is probably my most favourite anime. The only thing I liked as much was Naruto, but that was like....my first real anime I actually watched, so it doesn't really count.

But I do have to say, G-L was much better when you were getting hyped up for each episode. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if I marathoned it.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

the best part about Gurren-Lagann was not knowing what to expect next, it was pretty unpredictable. Also you never knew who would die next either. Everyone always faced death, no one was ever safe! This is what makes an anime great, anticipation for the plot unfolding and waiting to see if your favorite characters survive or not.

[Lo$tris]

I can't wait to see TTGL, the feedbacks it recieved are very encouraging but I hope -from the bottom of my heart- this wouldn't be similar case to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, where many shouted out how great this anime was and when I watched the WHOLE series I was close to tears with boredom and disappointment.

In terms of pure entertainment factor, TTGL is by far the best I have seen. No other anime has given me the same appeal or feeling than what TTGL has done. But if we go in terms of plot, character development and all that other stuff, then TTGL isn't that great. As I have said many times to others, watch TTGL only for fun. Don't go digging into it for some extravagant and intriguing plot.

The show has a lot of cliche elements but the way it's executed is simply astounding. The animation is superb and the characters are also some of the most likable I have seen. On top of this the music really sets the mood. I'd give this whole series a try but don't watch it if you are the one to look for seriousness in anime.

emmm..this is kinda put-off post, since I like anime with solid plot.

[Denizen]

emmm..this is kinda put-off post, since I like anime with solid plot.

What's a "solid plot"?

Anyways, plot-wise, Gurren-Lagann is very simple and linear. If you're looking for amazingly clever, complicated plots with intelligent stuff, then G-L isn't that. G-L's storyline isn't dumbed down though, it still has enough interesting things happening to prevent it from being one of those shows with a mold for each episode

G-L isn't plot, it's action - which essentially, is what I want from anime. If I want a deep plot, I'll read a novel or manga.

[Amatsu]

Are we having some kind of Naruto vs TTGL holy war in here?

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

No. I don't think Naruto ever came up. It would be horribly raped in a confronation with Gurren Lagann anyways.

[Amatsu]

Well I'm just making sure.

[~Shin~]

emmm..this is kinda put-off post, since I like anime with solid plot.

It's not that TTGL has no plot. It's more like plot is not its key point. It's character driven meaning that plot goes the way of the characters not vice versa.

That said the plot is much better than your average shounen but it pales in comparison to really good seinens like Berserk, Vagabond etc..

[Legacy_Warrior]

You guys are scarier then your average Narutard! :[

TTGLISM! Surely you would surpass Haruhism!

[Barak]

TTGL's plot is kinda wierd. The show starts out being something really simple, and then as time goes on, the scale of the plot gets exponentially larger. Not necessary more complicated until they elaborate more on lord genome, but the series scope definately expands at an incredibly rapid rate. I mean, c'mon, at the end of the show, they are throwing galaxies and fighting for the fate of the universe.

[Amatsu]

You guys are scarier then your average Narutard! :[

TTGLISM! Surely you would surpass Haruhism!

Says the guy with the Sasuke avatar. I've seen UchihaTards more scary than you're claiming us to be.

Go read Seiko and Jizz's posts. That's all the proof I need.

It was a joke.

I've had this avatar for like 2 years! Too lazy to change.

That wasn't a very funny joke

What ep of Gurren-Lagann are u on?

[Legacy_Warrior]

I finished episode 18 the day it came out.

Haven't watched it since, due to Nia who seriously is 0/10 in looks and personality (lol neg reps) and TTGL just being average to me. Maybe I'll finish it later..

TTGL = 7/10 !





Yoko = 10/10

I honestly find it truly astounding that a guy with a Sasuke avatar still doesn't rate this series even after 18 episodes, as you are claiming anyway..


As someone else already stated earlier, you are beyond hope.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

Atleast he likes Yoko.....theres still hope for the guy.

7/10 = Decent, which means not bad. Not once have I said TTGL sucks, or is lame or is boring.

Beyond hope? Just because I'm not appalled by this series as much as the majority? Maybe your beyond hope, because you believe everyone must love TTGL, or they are simply "beyond hope"..

The stanism in this thread is record breaking.. Throwing personal insults at me because I don't love TTGL.. Want to debate? I'm all for it, that's what forums are for, but not even giving valid arguments to why its the "best evar!@!" and instead calling me hopeless, makes your whole post fail miserably.

And once again.. my avatar is 2 fucking years old. What does it have to do with anything.. The way people bash on Naruto is sad, because the majority wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for that series.

[~Shin~]

Yeah the majority of us came here because of Naruto but I definitely know that most people don't stay because of it.

And the avatar has to do with something because I really don't understand how one could praise Naruto so much but bash the fuck out of TTGL. (I'm not referring to you. I'm referring to recent bashing on TTGL)

Where has anyone bashed Gurren Lagann?!? WTF, i can't find this anywhere on the forums not even in the Naruto forum part.

There was a recent TTGL vs Naruto thread. Not to mention all the bashing in the Outskirts Battledome.

I think people considering it bashing because these people are only hating on the series because they claim it to be overhyped, which is a damn stupid reason to hate any series.

people bash popular things to make them look cool.
its a trend.
its reality.

some people dont like the series.. thats ok.
some caught GAR fever.. thats also ok.

lets just move on

sooo..... after having watched up episode 11, I can only say thanks to those guys who gave constructive feedback and told me to watch up to episode 8, you guys did a great thing otherwise I would of missed out.

for the rest of you guy, you all are doing the series a great diservice by flaming people with legit questions, it seriously made me question whether i should watch it or not, but i'm glad there are people that can take critisim well.

oh a side note WTF episode 8, I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! just when I was starting to like the guy and he freaking dies, wtf that seriously sucked I feel sorry for his girl too, :(. but looks like this experience will jump start simon into hopefully becoming a bad ass himself. I seriously didn't see anything like this coming.

Yeah veho and churchill don't do this type of animes much justice so I'm going to have to download the rest, Its hard not to watch the whole thing in one sitting.

Yay, my wish came true :iria

I hope we have all learned much from this thread =D

Anyone who needs convincing does not belong in the Brigade anyway. Shoo.

As for the plot. It isn't a bad plot. It just isnt ZOMG SO DEEP AND I CONNECT WITH IT!!!1. It's just a straightforward plot which makes you say, well that's neat.

Pandaza you can't say much - either. As sad as it is, I'd say you weren't here with us week-in, week-out when TTGL was still airing, so you wouldn't know how to feel when TTGL gets attacked now. I'd read Denizen's post if I was you. Doing a marathon on TTGL probably wouldn't get you feeling anything anywhere, and I would say that participating with the community that you're in plays a really big part of liking this series. We all had lots of fun weekly here - waiting for the airtime, RAWs coming out, SUBS coming out, a week's worth of discussing the episode and repeat. It'd probably looking boring now as I say it, but you would know how it actually is if you were there.

I want to say I was part of those that actually helped, but if I'm not - it's okay. It doesn't matter either way, I'm just glad that you're giving the series a chance. Hopefully now you won't make a similar thread if you should go all the way to the end, because you'd probably hit another dangerous spot and we'd get a bigger conflict thread than this current one. Just go all the way, hopefully you'll like it. If you don't, I guess you can vent your anger out here, just put it in a way that wouldn't get most people confused.

Kamina dying really was a sad day. Eventhough I wasn't even here when it happened. But I guess he almost had to, or else he would always overshadow Simon.

I also agree - you should download this series and archive it. It's too good to be watching online. =)



Anyway, keep watching till the end. Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon, saying how awesome this series really is.

Its true that i havent been here through out the whole series due to the fact that during the time first few episodes of TTGL, i was in school, it was my junior year, i had no time to fool around although i did play games. During that time i wasnt into animes due to lack of good animes, i read mangas. Then till recently, a month or so ago? i started watching anime because i have time again. I know i dont really have that kinda passion for TTGL but then again I still love TTGL. I mean i was there for the last few episodes, it was really fun I have to admit, trying to guess whats going to happen, this and that. If i could like travel back in time and watch TTGL on the first time its aired, i'd definitely watch it, seriously.

Only reason why i dont bash ppl back when they bash on TTGL is because i rather not make enemies and its their opinion whether they say 'this sucks...worse anime ever.' I tend to think things through out why they would hate TTGL but then in the end its still comes down to the fact that its their opinion, everyone have different taste in anime. Its their opinion, you cant force someone to change their opinion unless your beat them up then ok. Everyone is different you know, the people that are bashing are probably just jealous that the anime they watch dont get as much attention. When you cant convince someone and your going to keep trying? your just a wasting your time, seriously.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

Seriously the plot doesn't need to be like "WTF DEATHNOTES!" to be good. Besides i know alot of people that hate those types of anime anyway. They say they're too boring and the unpredictability is lacking. Where as Gurren Lagann lacks predictablility and i can't find a single episode that was boring.....lol not even Ep 4. XD

[slapdoll]

@ S.A.F.-
GHEY?? haha. havent heard that word for a long time now..

@LOVELESS -
yeah.. discussing it week after week as each ep came out was what made us love the series more.. although i wasnt here for the whole ride (started when ep 20 aired or so) its been fun..



polt-wise.. it was complete.. theres really no need to compare..
and you shouldnt watch somethin just to look for its flaws..
thats just dumb..

just sit back. relax.. and enjoy the gar..

This is completely true, especially because there was no manga before the anime. We were pretty intense with waiting for the new episode. In fact, I think Shrooms once made a thread in the blender (I think he was serious, too), saying that anyone who spoils the next episode for someone who didn't want to be spoiled could end up banned for a few days.

And getting episode 8 spoiled was just god awful. Fuck you, Sunny.

And fuck you, Sepher, if you ever read this.

Mediorce Anime, to childish, to punk and to damn colorful.

Only thing thats makes it worth watching is Yoko, she's hot, badass and more complex than any shonen female lead ever concieved.

Her hentai is orgasmic, but I'm getting tired of that.

Kamina is so damn annoying, don't know why he's so popular, if people needed another reason to be a punk ass this is it.

Simon is just Shinji and Renton combined into a fanboy of epic perportions, he's like Rock Lee, then after he met the fag Kamina he just started to suck and be a ripoff.

Fighting scenes you would see in any mech anime.

Plot, cliche and One Piece like, I hate One Piece.

I fucking lol'd at that. Tell me some things that makes her complex, then. List ten.

Seriously, when you post like that you sound like the typical, superficial male. I could probably slap any female character with very little personality and huge pair of breasts in your face and you'd probably say that she's worth watching a series for too. Oh yeah - and "complex", right?

lol childish. It's a Seinen anime. It was about a man facing any obstacles that blocks him to save the love of his life. He was practically the defender of the universe. How on EARTH is that childish, it's really mind-boggling.



And none of this is even remotely possible if you pair it with daily life. Both TTGL and One Piece are supposed to be fictional. If you want to be more realistic, go back and stick to your Highschool life, shoujo anime. Never you will find a slice of realism in both TTGL and One Piece.

Yeah you have to find it funny when people go around bashing the good series because they think they're automatically cool for jumping off the bandwagon. It's why people bash both series respectively.

Honestly if they want to stick to crappy series like Shitpooden and "Bleach-are-we-still-on-namek?" Then it's their lost. They just obviously don't have good taste. It's not their fault they don't know what good series are.

I'm sorry but I can't take someone serious who bashes TTGL yet at the same time ranks that piece of shit called Naruto with masterpieces like Cowboy Bebop. Just like I can't take the same idiot serious who bashes Gutts and defends Sasuke at the same time. Contradictions much?

Ramen god you fucking pussy. Thanks for removing your rep.

[uncanny_sama]

Seriously everybody says it is so great, I don't see what makes it so special I watched the first 6 episodes and then quit watching it. Whats the appeal, didn't seem to have that great of a story premise and the two main characters are annoying one is a freaking wuss and the other talks too much.

But I am open minded enough to hear why this anime is so highly regarded so I you guys could enlighten me as to where the hype and all the love for this anime comes from, I would greatly appreciate it.

oh, and is there any romance? i don't particulary like this genre but i prefer action anime with a touch of it.

edit: wow, I guess I hit a pretty sensitive issue. I don't really care if I get neg reped, I just want to make it clear that I wasn't trolling. I really just wanted to know why TTGL was so great? That is all, something that very few have answered constuctivelly. Something that doesn't say much for its fan base.


watch every single episode and then try to make this thread

what was that? you cant?

naruto has definetly dropped in its quality both anime and manga

its just not what it used to be, its lost its touch and thats just a waste

Understandable, but most people have their reasons for being bitter. Especially those who come from the OBD. Heck in the OBD right now people are pushing for TTGL threads to be auto moved into the joke battledome. Seriously that's just wrong.

After all I haven't said that when Naruto fans who agree with Fuujin go around stating that Naruto characters are faster than light and crap. Heck if TTGL get's moved to the JBD then all series should.

Not necessarily true. =p

The Gaara Arc is actually pretty good in the manga. So here's how it should go:

Crappy animation, fillers, MOAR crappy animation, GOOD story - but presented in the worst way imaginable.

IMO it's all about execution these days. Heck, I'd GLADLY sit through any kind of filler from any series if it was executed as GAR as TTGL episodes. :love

[Amatsu]

Manga wise Naruto was good up until the end of the rescue Gaara arc... From Sai's introduction on the series just began to suck for numerous reasons. Most of them being Sasuke.

QFT and loveless, i would defend the stuff i like when i have too but the ppl bashing TTGL is not worth the time.

for naruto, manga > anime any time. The manga is just so much better i dunno why, like... it feels like as if it goes more into detail but thats just me.

I don't know about Naruto manga. It's really up and down, it's worrying. XD

Gaara Arc = UP
Penis Arc = DOWN
Oro vs Kn4 = UP
People pointlessly dying Arc = MASSIVE DOWN
Sasuke Arc = both, it's mixed. It won't stop concentrating on different people. Sasuke, Naruto, Jiraiya, Itachi(?), Konan and Pain ALL AT THE SAME TIME >.>

As good as it is that Kishimoto is leaking out so much material, I think it's executed quite poorly, thus giving me mixed feelings.

QFT and loveless, i would defend the stuff i like when i have too but the ppl bashing TTGL is not worth the time.
Well, that's not how the Dai Gurrendan do things, is it. Kick reason to the curb and certainly defend what you believe in!

That's quite obvious, isn't it. No matter how poorly executed the manga is, it's always canon.

Exactly.:wink

@Loveless: good point, defend in what i believe.

when ichigo was fighting all those shinigamis during the rukia rescue event he shouldve lost but he didnt...its like as if he pumped steroids out of nowhere...like he cant lose no matter what...as least naruto lost to sasuke, kamina died n i would consider him as a main character during that short amount of time

[mfair4d]

Hmm, people were bashing E7 here so i thought i'd join in
E7 sucks

I can't believe the same people that made it also made Darker than Black, and the anime version of FMA, just like i can't believe the same guy that was behind Evangelin was behind flcl (my current belief is that he got a lobotomy after Ending Eva)

About TTGL, I'm not having a great motivation to watch more of it, but I must say that kamina is really freaking awesome.

About naruto: I allways disliked naruto, hated sakura, and wanted to personally murder sauske (actually i have just about everyone voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama, except for shiro, but only in heaven's feel)

Now back to catching up on stuff I that came out before I started watching anime.

Seriously, you should have watched one more episode, then it got interesting, the first 6 were to introuce the ganmens and beasts, and of course Gurren Lagann.

The people who neg rep him for disagreeing that it is a good anime are very childish.

Hey, since you're making general statements about the absolute and objective worth of an anime show, you must have a ton of facts to support this and be able to prove it , right?

Because, I notice that you said it sucks, not that you didn't like it, so that begs the question how is it possible for other people to like it, since it sucks and all.

Please elaborate on the subject

Learn to read fuck tard, I have replied multiple times but I guess your brain can handle reading more than one thread at a time. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I AM?!!! Seriously people like you can make such a great series look like shit.


...why don't you go ahead and take good long ass look at who I actually quoted? :notrust

[camus]

...why don't you go ahead and take good long ass look at who I actually quoted? :notrust

LOL well looks like I'm the only Fuck Tard here, my bad. Sorry I'm kinda in a defensive mode if you will and since you were the last person who had posted I flamed you for it. My apologies. I will edit that out. I meant to flame somebody else but I can't find his post so I will just leave it at that.

[Amatsu]

Please. No TTGL fan here is making the fandom look bad. Now if we were going into other sections and preaching that TTGL was the greatest thing ever and all other series suck then you'd have a point.

We're just being defensive here. Which means no one here has gone into an offensive position except for the "we hate TTGL because it's overyhyped and anyone who doesn't think the same as us is a Tard." people.

Not saying that retaliating the way we did was right, but hey you should have expected this kind of retaliation for just coming in here to diss TTGL and it's fanbase. Especially for no reason.

[Undercovermc]

The conclusion I came to when reading the OP is don't judge anything until you've seen it in its entirety. camus, by your third edit, you realised what was so special about TTGL. Had you watched the entire series before posing that question, you wouldn't have had to make this thread in the first place.

well thats the thing tough, the kick ass aspect of the series didn't kick off for me until I watched episode 8. Thats why I came here to ask why TTGL was great in order to find out whether this series was linearly boring and predictable but it was anything but that. I meant no disrespect to TTGL thats why I haven't edited my original comment.

I just trully wanted to know what made it so great cause I knew I was missing something. I normally give animes 3 episodes to hold my complete attention and in this case i gave it 6 since i heard so much about it, but for me 8 was that magical number, its like it went into overdrive after that.

[Undercovermc]

I agree with you, the "incident" that occurred in episode 8 really gave the anime a boost and a different dynamic. Only in retrospect would you have known that you made this thread too soon.

Either way you really didn't give the series that much of a chance when you made this thread. I mean, 6, 7 episodes? Come on.

If you're planning to watch more series in the future, your leeway should be much, much bigger.


8 and a couple of the following episodes was actually a downside for me. I thought it'd never be the same again because of what happened. I'm glad to have been proven wrong.

[Undercovermc]

I kept thinking that character is definitely going to return, so his death didn't actually hit me that hard, until the anime was already in its epicness. By then, it didn't matter.

Ok I have a question...xD

I've been watching Cowboy Bebop and I think it's one of the most boring/annoying animes I've seen. Faye annoys the crap out of me as does Spike every once in a while. Ace is the only cool character. I've seen through episode 18 and I'm curious whether it changes much in the last 8 episodes.

Did I give it enough of a chance? >.>

Yeah you did. Cowboy Bebop's only good episodes were the last two.

and by the way. You are awesome. XD

[Undercovermc]

The last episode is one of the best in Cowboy Bebop, but in all honesty if you don't like it after 18 episodes you probably won't by the end. I'm surprised by that though, Cowboy Bebop is one of my favourites. Spike is amazing.

The last two were really the only episodes that had anything to do with the plot. It's like the rest was just episodic filler.

[Souten Kishun]

:laugh

Thank you ...and thank you!

Sorry to interrupt the thread, though it seems to be coming to a close. Everything ends as it should ~+1 fan of TTGL :nod

edit oh and Spike isn't that bad. He just annoyed me in the video tape one >.< The attempt at humor was kinda pitiful :apathy

[Amatsu]

welcome and yes it seems this thread is over.

[Undercovermc]

I was disappointed that the events in the former episodes didn't tie into the plot, but they were good nonetheless. /End of off-topicness :P

[Ramengod]

I like how people constantly defend a cartoon and insult me personally because they can't stand the truth.

And I didn't even say Naruto is a better anime, I just said I prefer it over this crap.

LOL geeks.

[Ramengod]

Oh and to end my post.

Naruto > Simon.

Gai > Kamina

Yoko > Sakura.

[ydraliskos]

You didn't say Naruto is a better anime but prefer it over TTGL? That's the same thing fucktard. :amuse

I'll admit it, i watch Shippuden and i don't mind it, atleast i'll have something to watch but TTGL is so much better in epic scale.

Ramengod fails so much in an epic scale, he has surpassed Anti-GAR fail. He is now just and simply jackassery-fail. :gar

[Piekage]

^I don't like Kamina and Simon, oh fucking well I have problems.

Nothing wrong with disliking Kamina or Simon, mind explaining why?

Mediorce Anime, to childish, to punk and to damn colorful.

I was unaware that fighting for your right to exist was childish...

What does punk mean?

Only thing thats makes it worth watching is Yoko, she's hot, badass and more complex than any shonen female lead ever concieved.

That's a matter of personal opinoin, but she is hot.

Her hentai is orgasmic, but I'm getting tired of that.

Agreed.


Kamina is so damn annoying, don't know why he's so popular, if people needed another reason to be a punk ass this is it.

In what way is Kamina a punk ass? Kamina is a strong minded character that's not afraid to say what he wants and is ready to put a foot in the ass of anyone who fucks with him. I don't see how you can Kamina annoying, but like Naruto or Gai, considering how neither of them can shut the fuck up.



Simon is just Shinji and Renton combined into a fanboy of epic perportions, he's like Rock Lee, then after he met the fag Kamina he just started to suck and be a ripoff.

What? He has a few similarities to Shinji during the first few episodes, but in what way shape or form is he related to Rock Lee?


Fighting scenes you would see in any mech anime.

And how many Mech animes have you seen? 2? Mech fights vary greatly anime to anime.

Plot, cliche and One Piece like, I hate One Piece.

For one, it's a Shonen, and every shonen has the same cliches. Someone who likes Naruto really shouldn't be calling anything cliche.

Naruto - Hot-Headed Youth with below average IQ and an Uberpower
Sasuke - Polar opposite of the main character
Sakura - Typical female manga character

Plot - Main Character struggles for a goal of sorts, be it acceptance, power or money.

Enough cliches for you?

And for two, I don't know many animes that involve going to space and fighting on galaxies, or evolving because you want to, or kicking ass with drills.

Music, weird and to techno.

Music is really a matter of personal opinion. I kinda liked a few songs.


Funny One Piece was once proclaimed the best, till this crap appeared.


I don't watch or read One Piece, so I can't comment on that.

[Doggie]

Lawl at people comparing Naruto/One Piece to TTGL. I mean yeah, I know it's a matter of opinion which one you prefer, but in terms of quality, TTGL is lightyears ahead of Naruto. The art and animation in Naruto has been appaling lately.

[Dimezanime20]

Seriously everybody says it is so great, I don't see what makes it so special I watched the first 6 episodes and then quit watching it. Whats the appeal, didn't seem to have that great of a story premise and the two main characters are annoying one is a freaking wuss and the other talks too much.

But I am open minded enough to hear why this anime is so highly regarded so I you guys could enlighten me as to where the hype and all the love for this anime comes from, I would greatly appreciate it.

oh, and is there any romance? i don't particulary like this genre but i prefer action anime with a touch of it.

1st Edit: wow, I guess I hit a pretty sensitive issue. I don't really care if I get neg reped, I just want to make it clear that I wasn't trolling. I really just wanted to know why TTGL was so great? That is all, something that very few have answered constuctivelly. Something that doesn't say much for its fan base.


2nd Edit: sooo..... after having watched up episode 11, I can only say thanks to those guys who gave constructive feedback and told me to watch up to episode 8, you guys did a great thing otherwise I would of missed out.

for the rest of you guy, you all are doing the series a great diservice by flaming people with legit questions, it seriously made me question whether i should watch it or not, but i'm glad there are people that can take critisim well.


3rd Edit: Well I'm done with the series. And to answer my own question, what made TTGL so great for me was that it was pure adrenile rush. Its just fun! I really enjoyed watching this series and would like to thank the true fans for the feeback I got that led me in the right direction. Although I must say, you guys got a lot of bad blood in here too, blood that isn't TTGL worthy. But for now I'm just sad its over :(.

I don't like this poster. It was wise to shut off your rep,

[Amatsu]

You just contradicted yourself in the same post. :laugh

[~Shin~]

Anyone who defends Sasuke while bashing Gutts fails hard.

[Amatsu]

RamenGod can't even properly insult anyone either. Seriously this guy reminds me of that Jizz guy from the Konoha Library.

[Supa Swag]

Belligerent shit smelling post

Yes of course you're right.

[Amatsu]

I don't really remember anyone comparing TTGL to Naruto or One Piece. I just find it funny that RamenGod can claim that Naruto is the best series ever while he claims TTGL is shit for no reason. Oh and he also claimed One Piece is shit too. Which pretty much tells me RamenGod doesn't really have good taste if he thinks Naruto is superior to actual good series.

[Pandaza]

naruto is ok-ok but compared to One piece and TTGL, naruto fails

[Blaze of Glory]

This thread is the ultimate failure.

[Ramengod]

Nothing wrong with disliking Kamina or Simon, mind explaining why?There cardboard and don't have any depht to there characters, except for being the best, like thats new.

I was unaware that fighting for your right to exist was childish...It's a fairy tale type of childishness. Anyone can fight for their right to exist, even Azumanga Daioh characters.

What does punk mean?A Arrogant, Cocky, Over Exxagereted dumbass that thinks he's all that.

That's a matter of personal opinoin, but she is hot.She's also more overrated than any DOA chick

Agreed.Kay.

In what way is Kamina a punk ass? Kamina is a strong minded character that's not afraid to say what he wants and is ready to put a foot in the ass of anyone who fucks with him. I don't see how you can Kamina annoying, but like Naruto or Gai, considering how neither of them can shut the fuck up.Any character who can fight, can stand up for there selves and has a will of steel are just like Kamina, even Coby from One Piece is that definition. Kamina is just a un realistic piece of crap that only inspires more defiance and more ignorance towards real life problems. He's a punk and a arrogant sob, more so than Uchiha Sasuke. He's annoying and he's a hypocrtical faceless image. Anyone who whorships him and doesn't have any self independance in this show is a fag. Naruto and Gai are down to earth. Kamina is borderline Gary Stu.


What? He has a few similarities to Shinji during the first few episodes, but in what way shape or form is he related to Rock Lee?He worships Kamina, and he dress like him, he's lee minus the eye brows.


And how many Mech animes have you seen? 2? Mech fights vary greatly anime to anime.I've seen tons.

I don't watch or read One Piece, so I can't comment on that.Bah this anime is to overrated.

Insult me all you like it still won't matter since your precious anime will never be a classic like say Evangelion.

[Pandaza]

last time i checked eva was one of the most weirdest anime ive ever watch and who cares if its classic as long as you enjoy the anime

[~Shin~]

I pretty much ignored you when you said Gundam isn't cliche.

[Apollo]

its the best anime since EVA
the characters are flawless and the main one, Simon has everything you could hope for in one

[Amatsu]

Bah this anime is to overrated.

Insult me all you like it still won't matter since your precious anime will never be a classic like say Evangelion.

Too bad it's already surpassed Evangelion. You fail as a troll.

[Dogma]

It's a good question.

This anime is overrated, and probably won't be a classic, seeing as it's ended already. And doesn't have the current momentum to propel it for more then a year.

But it's by no means a bad anime, I just think it lacks the same elements that would propel it into the "Classic" category.

When you boil it all down, I have trouble finding out just what's so special about TTGL.

[xpto]

In 10-12 years time, you will see TTGL: Death and Rebirth, The End of TTGL, Revival of TTGL, TTGL Battle Orchestra and the new film series, Rebuild of TTGL. :LOS

[Adachi]

Did I just hear the word "Evangelion"?? :LOS

last time i checked eva was one of the most weirdest anime ive ever watch and who cares if its classic as long as you enjoy the anime

My friend, that's because EVA is one of the most complicated, psychological, mindfuck type of anime, EVER produced. That's the reason why it's so popular. You can't just watch it and expect Superman saving the world kind of stuff.

[Piekage]

[/QUOTE]

Bah this anime is to overrated.

Insult me all you like it still won't matter since your precious anime will never be a classic like say Evangelion.

I never insulted you.




It's a fairy tale type of childishness. Anyone can fight for their right to exist, even Azumanga Daioh characters.

Of course anyone can fight for there existence. What does that have to do with what I said? Regarding your Fairy tale comment...

A fairy tale or fairy story is a fictional story that usually features folkloric characters (such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, witches, giants, and talking animals) and enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. In modern-day parlance, the term is also used to describe to something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy tale ending" (a happy ending)[1] or "fairy tale romance", though there are notable examples and genres of fairy tales that do not end happily. Colloquially, a "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story.

By this definition just about every anime ever is childish. And TTGL wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows most of the time. Even after the enemy was defeated there were still problems to deal with. Not exactly "Happily Ever After"


A Arrogant, Cocky, Over Exxagereted dumbass that thinks he's all that.

By that definition, yeah Kamina's punk.

She's also more overrated than any DOA chick

Probably.

Any character who can fight, can stand up for there selves and has a will of steel are just like Kamina, even Coby from One Piece is that definition. Kamina is just a un realistic piece of crap that only inspires more defiance and more ignorance towards real life problems
Mind explaining that one? For one, TTGL wasn't meant to be realistic. It's not the news. And for two, I sincerely doubt that fans of the show start quoting Kamina when someone asks there name. I have great pity for anyone who takes anything on the show to real life seriously.

He's a punk and a arrogant sob, more so than Uchiha Sasuke. He's annoying and he's a hypocrtical faceless image. Anyone who whorships him and doesn't have any self independance in this show is a fag. Naruto and Gai are down to earth. Kamina is borderline Gary Stu.

How is Kamina a hypocrite? And Naruto and Gai? Down to earth? For one, Naruto is/was either really arrogant, or really stupid. He challenged Lee, thinking that he'd kick his ass. He challenged Tsunade, despite her decades of experience and skill that was vastly ahead of his. He thought he could solo Kakashi for crying out loud. Not to mention that he's still got that fairy tale-ish thought that he can take Itachi, who's a master in Genjutsu, Naruto's greatest weakness.

And Gai's far from down too earth. Most people don't randomly shout about the springtime of youth and hug you while shedding manly tears.

He worships Kamina, and he dress like him, he's lee minus the eye brows.

Around the begining he worshiped him yes. But he changed quite a bit from the quite kid from episode one. And personality wise, he's quite different from Lee.

I've seen tons.

Then you'd know that Mecha fights vary from anime to anime. Take TTGL's mech fights are quick and action packed and quick, while some Gundam fight and Big O seem slower and more detailed by comparison.

TTGL is just one of those animes that tries to be cool but simply isn't.

That would depend on one's definition of cool. Just beause you don't like something doesn't make it fact.

Ever read Gundam or Akira?

I haven't seen every Gundam, but I don't remember any of them going beyond the Solar System. Or fighting with drills. I haven't read Akira sadly.

Music is really a matter of personal opinion. I kinda liked a few songs.

I don't

Nothing wrong with that. But that doesn't make it bad or anything of the sort.

[Toffeeman]

I've said it once, and I'll say it again..


Non-believers suck.
