skudoops said: For a series? Yeah, I think the only thing I like more is MSMM's surreal aesthetic. The end there was really close to OVA like Unicorn and Eva Rebuilds though.. I was like wow. funny that, first thing i thought once it got past episode 15 was that this looks remarkably close to as good or if not better (as was the case in the last few episodes) than my evangelion blurays. |

| What more can you say. GOD TIER. Galaxies as shuriken, wtf. And that bittersweet ending... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Yoko's too hot. |
 |
| Just finished my re-watch. Fucking incredible in every way. Nia disappearing may take the feels cake, but my emotions during the last few episodes were all over the place. FUUUUUUUUAOSUDHOAUSHD. |

| Bittersweet ending indeed; more bitter than sweet though. As someone else mentioned, Simon and Yoko, who sacrificed a lot throughout the series deserved something more. But then again, quite possible that they were happy with the way things turned out... And to the ones lashing out to others just because they didn't like the ending, think of it this way: when watching a series, a lot of people think about what *they* would have wanted if they were the MC. I'm pretty sure a small percentage the folks who wanted a happy ending for Simon X Yoko felt that way because that's what they would have wanted. I know, it doesn't gel with the story/progression but that's how it is. :) EDIT: My 42nd post: surely means something? ;) |

| Bitter sweet. Very nice. A fantastic end to a fantastic series. As much as I love this show, I'd hate to see a sequel of any kind because, really, how could any continuation be on par with this?! I mean, can you get any crazier than throwing fucking galaxies at each other? LOL. I know there will never be a sequel, but I just wanna get my voice out haha. |

| The show is good, however even if the last episode was epic, the last five minutes pissed me off. So much characters are gone and in counterpart they do no deliver that much of an happy ending, it's just bitter. Damn japanese it's always the same with them, they just can't let it go, it's either you die or you lose the girl... Can't they allow someone to win it all ? Bless the american comics, at leat Spiderman can save Mary-Jane, the World and comeback home with his girl to eat a pizza. |

| I think some of the characters appear a bit old, when it's only been twenty years. Actually all of the "older" ones. Simon, Yoko, Rossiu. Viral didn't really change. It's especially a stark contrast to Gimmy and Darry. They are a good bit younger, But 10+ years? They were Teenagers in the second part, so at least as old as Simon in the first part, probably older. After 20 years, the difference shouldn't be that big. Of course depends on a lot of factors like lifestyle and genes, but it looked more like they were only 5 years older, and the others 30+. And too bad that both Simon and Yoko drew the short straw. Yoko even twice in a way, she surely would have been happy with Kittan judging from that one scene. And that the ring stopped in front of Yoko could be taken as sign, too. It's not like not being in love helped the others like Zorthy or Kid though. TTGL actually has quite a high death count, even more so for a generally uplifting show. But maybe that was exactly the point - don't let bad things drag you down. Overall the show was totally over the top, sometimes a bit too much probably, throwing galaxies at each other, really? They could have at least put a bit more effort into it, it did look stupid. A sequel would be nice, if it's any similar i would surely enjoy it. Would be difficult to find an approriate story though. Additional side stories are easier, theres a lot one can do in 7 years..some have been busy, like Simon with his paperwork, other a bit less, Yoko didn't look exactly stressed when she arrived at the school, more like she was roaming several years and only recently decided to become a teacher. |
| Finish watching this. It succeeded my expectations. Lesson learnt: FUCK LOGIC, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?! 11/10 |
 |
| Something has been gnawing at me for a while. I really love the music of TTGL. But there is one piece of music I want to add to my collection that isn't part of the OST. This music is a version of Libera Me From Hell, a somber version of it. The only times it I believe it plays is at the very beginning of this episode when the Anti-Spiral is interrogating Nia and when they are trapped in the Death Spiral Machine and they discover the previous Spiral warriors who came before them (right before Simon decides to head to the DSM's center). Does anybody know what this song is called and where I can possibly download an mp3 of it? I'd GREATLY appreciate any help in this. |

| Took me way too long to get around to watching this anime, but it was worth the wait. Simply put: it's insanely great. I finally see why it gets all the good reviews and hype. It's so high quality, and takes "epic" and "over the top" to a whole new level. |
| No word on that track, sadface... Other than that, I find it funny that in 27 years everybody ages quite visually except for Leeron. |
dajayman said: No word on that track, sadface...

Maybe someone could mix out the dialect and post it on youtube... :P i know how to do that, but it wouldnt work with the anti spirals voice, both english dub and japanese sub have an echoed voice right across the channel. it would sound like crap if i even tried. |

| I just finished crying tears of man-joy |
| best anime made in history |
| Hated the ending so much, felt like Simon was wondering the planet as a drunk. No relationships happened which bummed me out, mia gon (wtf) and yoko looked lonely as hell. I can see how some people like this episode but i didn't at all. I think this ending imo ruined the series for me. |
| Lord Genome, you're a good guy afterall :( No Nia, don't leave Simon alone T_T Aw, Viral with Immortal body For me, I don't quite really fond of the ending... I'm not satisfied tbh Now, it's the time!! Resurrect all the dead Dai-Gurren team!! ArufeimKirra said: Lesson learnt: FUCK LOGIC, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!

| I'm curious where episode 1 came into place now.. After seeing the whole series no where did we see that bit in it... So curious !!!XX |
giraffesyo said: I'm curious where episode 1 came into place now.. After seeing the whole series no where did we see that bit in it... So curious !!!XX popular fan theory puts it as an alternate reality stemming from the multidimensional labyrinth in episode 26. when questioned about it, gainax essentially said 'yeah, why not' the official statement given by gainax was along the lines of the prologue of ep 1 being their idea of what would happen with the show, but that idea was scraped when they decided to take it a different direction, hence why they've sorta hand waved it and accepted the fan theory as canon |

| I felt the need to post my thoughts about Gurren Lagann a year after my second viewing: This anime was so FREAKING AWESOME that I just had to watch it twice. I especially love how over the top this anime is. Sure, everyone loves their deep and logical plot but Gurren Lagann has the one thing that made me love anime as a whole: "Heart". Lots and lots of blood boiling action with otherworldly amounts of HEART! It made the whole experience so much better. Simon's drill has definitely pierced through infinity and beyond, earning it a well deserved 10/10. |

| I feel like I'm about to cry. I loved it so much. omg. T.T I cant stop smiling. My brain hurtz T.T I am going to sleep now.. for about a year.. Cya! T.T & ;) |

j0x said: more epic those words don't even begin to fathom the possibility of describing it correctly |

eldest said: j0x said: more epic those words don't even begin to fathom the possibility of describing it correctly i can only agree |
| Just finished it for the 1st time. Im fucking pissed. Yoko gets to die alone after experiencing 2 deaths like that and people call this a good ending?!?! |
 |
| I'm nearly at a loss of what to say, I'm sure randomly pounding the keyboard would probably convey my feelings better at this point. That fight with solar systems, galaxies, nebulas, and the universe itself was cosmologically awesome, the spiral king redeemed himself and that finale was as grand as it gets. The aftermath was bittersweet, especially the wedding and departure of Nia and Simon. Something about the 20 year time skip really got to me too, just seeing everyone older and how distant everything seemed to them at that point. Seeing Nia and Kamina's graves side by side was very powerful as well. Overall, I misjudged this series. It's taken me two years to finally man up and go through it. It's ironic, back in the earliest episodes I was dreading 27 episodes of it, now that I'm at the end I can't help but want to see more. Great series worthy of its praise, an easy 9/10 from me. Old_Raven said: Just finished it for the 1st time. Im fucking pissed. Yoko gets to die alone after experiencing 2 deaths like that and people call this a good ending?!?! To Yoko, the children that she taught were precious to her. I think that despite all of the heartbreak she went through, she was happy to have been able to live the rest of her days leading the future generations down a brighter path free of the struggles and strife she underwent. |

| An easy 10/10. Now I know why this anime is hailed as a legend. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| I liked the ending I guess, but I still don't understand what everyone sees in this show |
| my drill is the drill that will pierce the heavans!!! god i love it :) everything about it was great my first and NO WAY the last mech anime :D 10/10 |
| i got no gif for my signature..... imagine some cool swords clashing and light and fighting everywhere! |
| Why did the ending suck so hard? I don't understand why Seamoan couldn't use his spiral power to stop Nia from fading away |
Haytin said: Why did the ending suck so hard? I don't understand why Seamoan couldn't use his spiral power to stop Nia from fading away he can but he didn't want to. i forgot the reason why he didn't want to, try rewatching episode 27 again |

Haytin said: I know he can I just don't understand why he didn't soooo dumb because if you actually listened to what was stated in the episode and the conversation between simon and the anti spiral, abusing spiral power is what leads to the spiral nemesis this is also stated so clearly that even a retard could understand by simon to gimmy 'if we brought back the dead, they would only get in the way of the future generations' i agree, you are quite dumb |

| I bet my ass , I will show this anime to my kids one day. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
