The story of Lord Genome... now that was awesome. Somehow I am unable to set this to Complete? It's 8/8 but it won't let me set it to completed.

Yeah, it was not bad and I like this song too. Shame no Nia in this though.
You can't set it to complete cause its status is still Currently Airing. Reported this already.

This was really the only one of the set that gave off the same epic feel as the series imo.

So the anti-spirals convinced him to turn on the rest of his group? Or am I misunderstanding this...

It was the best one by far though...

That's also what i concluded(could have misunderstand it as well). I'm guessing they showed him the effects of the spiral power leading towards Spiral Nemesis and then he changed sides.

Hmm now that you mention it Nayah, it does make more sense.

Looking at the vision they showed him, it makes sense that it was probably of the spirals going out of control, smashing the other planets around them and then everything being destroyed. I mistook it for them like twisting his mind and breaking him, thus having him change sides. Thanks :)

Just rewatched it a second time and noticed something..

Lord Genome's pet closes resembles an armadillo which leads me to believe that it could have been a much younger Guame. I didn't bother much about the pet during my first watch >_>

Yeah, Simon is so getting sued for copying Lord Genome's awesome mecha design. I mean, even the spirals on the shoulders look the same..
Bad Simon, bad!

EPIC WIN.
GAINAX finally understood that we, fans, want more GURREN LAGANN, damn it. Not beautiful cloudy skies, not stupid wagging penises, and NOT an alternate reality we don't give a fuck about.
We want pure, epic Gurren Lagann, and this is what we got with this AMV.
REAL, bloody perfect animation, epic music, numerous references to further events in the storyline (and even to the golden age of Super Robots, anybody recognized Mazinger or Gunbuster ?), and even a scenaristical link to the series.

This AMV gave me MOAR than what I asked to such a project.

I'll say it again : EPIC WIN. PURELY AND SIMPLY EPIC WIN.
They are neither plants nor animals.
They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them.

If you look at the beginning where he's sitting on a spiraled rock surrounded by animals, there's also a scorpion (Adiane), a bird (Cytomander), and a gorilla (Thymilph). That armadillo thingy is definitely Guame.^^

that was...uber....absolutely amazing.

it was neat to see lord genome in an actual battle, instead of acting macho and dyig (tho that was still a sweet battle :P)

it was a good end to that mini series-esque thing, especially after a couple of those movies....:(

Why would you need them? There's only lyrics, which you can read, for example, at animelyrics.com.

This is not something to pay attention carefully about.
This is just something to sit back and watch the show and not care too much about what happens.

This wasn't the only video with story in it. It's the only video with story that is somewhat canon.

Having already completed TTGL, seeing videos like the one where the characters are grouping up to rescue Nia or where Viral is the "good guy" in a spaghetti western fighting against the evil Kamina were cool. But this video was great too, not just because of the story but it was just pretty to look at.

On the whole, I enjoyed all the videos because I like the soundtrack. Some of them, the videos themselves weren't great (Libera), but even then listening to an extended song is nice.
