jesus christ.
the dvd of this movie was one of the best looking animated things ive seen
the bluray...
damn. they actually found a way to top series TTGL's ending. this shouldn't be possible.
fitting, considering the catchphrase of the show though, 'Go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb'

if you havent seen it, get right the fuck to it, right now

Nice set of STTGL images man.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Movie was really good as well, I'm sure they were itching to animate yoko's bare tits lmfao, they also kept most of the cast alive this time, but it setup a pretty epic scene with all of them having their own powered up scene. It was just too damn epic. One of the best looking shows out to.

subbed, in 1080, currently doesnt exist (outside of the blurays)
unless youre handy with remuxing, youre going to have to wait an undetermined amount of time till a subgroup does it, or buy the blurays

you can only find it raw currently, and only in the BD batch release.

either download that and remux off the old release, or you're going to have to wait.
unless you buy the blurays which are 1080 subbed. if you do download it raw, (good luck with that, 30+ gb per movie) i dont mind ripping the subs ive got if youre interested straight off the blurays

So, just checked. Out of a two hour long movie, an hour and a half is spent on the climax.
And what a fucking spectacle it all was. Seriously.

Kittan's Giga Drill Breaker, catching a glimpse of what the Spiral Nemesis would look like, Nia finally doing something, the Super TTGL, the fist fight at the very end...

There are just too many motherfucking highlights. Even though I still prefer the original ending, it would be downright criminal not to give this film a perfect score.

The way Lordgenome "hacked" the enemy was hilarious! Definitely some changes from the animes series. Only Kittan appears to die and in the final battle everyone fights instead of just the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Didn't not expect to see Nia's breasts bare. Nice! But she still disappears! FUCK!

Great condensed version of the second half of Gurren Lagann.

Great movie,but I definetly prefer some scenes in the tv version.The farewell scene with Kamina was kinda underwhelming here when it's one of the best scenes in the tv series.Also the pre-credits ending just doesn't feel right without ED2.
The ending fight was epic and even crazier though.

that was overpowered shit ever, combining and more combining. Although its a recap and a bit tweaked it was awesome and mind blowing. But it does pain me a bit that Rossiu never got death in the end, after the way he treated Simon.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! BEST. FUCKING. ENDING. EVER! Most balls to the wall, most BAD ASS thing I have ever seen in my whole life!!! Simon is a fucking MANLY BEAST!!! You get the girl bro!!! Peasants, thinking the original ending was epic, WAIT TILL THEY FUCKING TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!

Here I spent all these years thinking anime couldn't get more EPIC and PERFECT than the original ending, they go ahead and do this. I thought Gurren Lagann couldn't be more perfect that it already is. In fact I avoided these movies thinking they were just recaps, but GOD. DAMN. I'm so happy i watched them, falling in love with the show all over again. The very end still makes me cry all these years later, when Nia dies and Simon walks the earth alone. Heartbreaking but so beautiful. Simon and Nia forever!!

The fight may be the smoothest, most fluid, most stylish animation i've ever seen. Fucking badass, I was literally cheering at the awesomeness i was witnessing!! One of the best one-on-one fights in cinema history!!!

It was cool seeing Rei ... uhm I mean Nia have her own Gun(wo)men for a little bit.
Despite feeling a little bit rushed over the original series the final fight made up for all of it.- Truly epic.

9/10 because of the new ending for sure.

Best final fight in anime. Period. No contest


Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything…
Wouldn’t that be great?

This whole movie was just an excuse just to show Yoko's boobs in their full glory. But to not make it obvious they also showed Nia's. Just kidding... Don't hurt me.

On the movie; while not as tight as the previous movie it was enjoyable nonetheless. I think the new ending is close to the origina. There are new changes that I appreciated a lot but the way they cut the political stuff was meh. I wasn't a big fan of it in the anime but seeing it being cut here just shows how important it was.

6.75/10


Also, Libera Me From Hell and the opening song are phenomenal...

Overall liked this less than the show but good God that last fight. Moving past the pure awesomeness of super TTGL the last fistfight between Simon and the antispiral was just perfectly done.

I had mixed feelings WHILE watching this. Sure it has to cut nearly half the scenes to be able to fit the story into a movie, but I found myself longing for those moments that we had from the original series. Like Kamina's death in the first movie, I think they should've spend more time surrounding Simon's arrest. Also they cut the after credits scenes where it shows our characters when they're much older, instead focusing entirely on Simon and giving him an extra scene, which made me sad. Seeing old and jaded Rossiu was something that got me in the feels the first time I watched this.

HOWEVER, I immediately went to the original series to do some comparisons, to see roughly what scenes they left out and how much the final battle and the ending changed. And first thing I noticed is holy shit, the visuals in many scenes definitely got a massive upgrade. It looks so much better. A lot of it is still the same of course, but where they did change the visuals, I didn't realize it looked so good. Visuals = check. This movie is far more polished in that department.

So in the first movie, they sped-run through most of the journey when travelling to face off the spiral king. I was perfectly fine with that except I think Rossiu's part should've have a bit more time to flesh out since he's a pretty integral character. But I understand that's difficult to do since his story was pretty long if I remember. In this movie, I remember us spending more downtime in Kamina City, seeing how all our characters settled down and enjoying normal life. I would've love to see more of that here again, but again, we have limited time. I'd like to focus more on the final battle.

One thing I wanna say right away is that the moment where they defeat the anti-spiral in this movie is the shining moment for this film and is what puts it above the main series. You know, the scene where each mecha is ejecting out of the other until Simon in his little lagann drills a hole through the anti-spiral. But in the series the anti-spiral is just sending out tentacles at him as he continuously ejects. Here, however, it's a massive DRILL FACE-OFF and it's awesome. The pink and green just shine so brightly. And when he does finally come face to face with the anti-spiral, they have a fist fight in dead silence, compared to the series where he kind of just drills the hole right away. Here Simon has an extra moment that makes it all the more worth it, "the drill is my soul" or something like that. It works, and makes it better. Each of our side characters getting into their own mechs and facing off the anti-spiral was a nice touch as well.

If I kept comparing I could probably ramble on, but I've done that enough. I'll just mention one last thing that caught my attention, after the wedding, when Nia disappears, Simon is asked a question, but is in silence for a moment before answering, his back to us, we are a bit unsure of his emotional state. But then he reveals he's alright, he's going to keep moving on. That's THIS movie, however in the series when asked the question, he answers right away and we can kind of see his face, there's no pause, no silent moment for dramatic effect. For me just a small thing like this made the ending just a level above the original ending. There's probably a couple more things, but I just skimmed through the ending of the series so I definitely missed some stuff.

Overall, if we could put THIS ending and THESE visuals into the MAIN series where we get the FULL story of all our characters, that'd be perfect. Oh and add back the scenes where it shows our old characters in the after credits scenes.

Still going to give it an 8/10 like the main series, it has a more solid ending with better visuals, but I still miss all the little moments from the main series that they had to leave out.
