My opinion on the characters

[SPOILER WARNING]

Ok, I enjoyed Gurren Lagaan, it's a pretty cool show, however, something I couldn't stand was how Simon was treated. Kamina and Simon were a dynamic duo, yet pretty much 80% of the characters failed to see that. All they did was dick ride Kamina. Now me personally, i think Kamina is a cool character, he is a natural born leader and outgoing, while Simon is more timid. Simon helped Kamina get out of sticky situations and win the battle, even Kamina acknowledges that. Unfortunately, everyone just sees Kamina as a hero and ignores Simon. The worst part was when Kamina died, literally nobody seemed to give a shit about Simon. Some of these people knew how important Kamina was to Simon, yet they didn't give a fuck. That shit was honestly insane to think about. The only people that were there for him was that little mole rat thing and Nia. Rossiu, (even though I started to hate him a lot later on in the series) actually had a shred of human emotion and acknowledged the fact that Simon was in pain, only to be stopped by Yoko. Even though it was a pathetic, halfhearted attempt, at least it seemed like he gave a shit compared to others. Absolutely nobody was there for him or tried to comfort him. Honestly, that changed my whole view on the series.


Putting all that shit aside, the fight scenes go hard because of the team work and unity, however, I still can't ignore the fact that Simon was treated like fucking shit. Once Simon did something, everyone went fucking crazy for him, even though he was doing what he was doing the whole time, even when Kamina was alive. But yeah, Gurren Lagaan is a 9/10.
