Caution #1: Searching something as EASY, fun, face-palming and nearly plotless as Kill-la-Kill? Pass. Go on, watch some Seikon no Quaser or smth. Come back later when ready for a serious hit on the feels. Definitely worth watching. 8/10
A little fill in: i started watching Gurren Lagann to get my spirits up, hoping it would be the same as Kill-la-Kill, since the creators are same, and i happened to watch that one first and loved it.
Caution #2: HUGE SPOILERS, BUTTHURT MUCH.
So here goes. I Loved it. Loved every single random moment and every facepalm and every time i laughed so hard i had to pause.
...
Until i hated it. Hated since the death of Kamina. Since the first unfulfilled promise and heartbreak of Yoko. Since Simons breakdown. Not one moment since then was fulfilling and balanced. Something seemed out of place all the time, like Simon in the politics, like Black siblings so far apart, like Yoko, the hot and powerful Yoko as school teacher, like countless Lagann transformations (Seriously? he was standing on a fucking galaxy??? o.O), like fucking Viral as co-pilot, like so many deaths, like second broken promise to Yoko, and second time breaking her heart into pieces. (Yeah, i really felt for her). And here they go, defeating the final boss come back to Earth, and there, the gentle second Simons love Nia dissapears at the very tender moment of her life, saying the words of love as a goodbye.
If you think about it, noone from the very first Gurren squad (Kamina, Simon, Yoko, Ron, Boota) reached their happiness, except maybe that damn half-gay fish looking Leeron. Don't get me wrong, i think he/she's amazing, honestly. Just general hate.
And there, all the yesterdays heroes shut themselves in nearly soltitude and slowly spiral their way into their doom. Well. Fuck. Where's my fucking happy ending with shit and giggles??!!!
