Just finished watching Gurren Lagann. Sad that it's over, yet satisfied with how it went. Beautiful.

Going to prolly talk about it/look for discussions on it for closure...

and then maybe sleep.

There are so many SONGS from that anime that I like, yet I've never watched the anime itself for some reason. How many episodes are there? Either way, gotta do that.

I'm rewatching it too.
Kamina's death is still quite possibly one of the most bittersweet things I've ever experienced. I blame Gainax.

What Raz said. I read the comic first, loved it, and then went on to watch the show, loved it. (Both different yet awesome)

I don't have the DVD's, but I'll actually get them since it was THAT ****ING awesome.

[COLLAPSE="SPOILER SPOILER"]It was very sad to see Kamina go, Kittan and the others as well. Yet, what I really wanted to see, was Simon and Nia to kiss, or to at least show some sign of affection/romance... And then, near the end I got that, but then she disappeared. :c Kittan getting that Giga Drill was ****ing awesome. It was damn cool to see Boota evolve in that alternate dimension state thing. I really liked seeing Simon say "Let's go, this is the final battle!" because I think he reminded me of Kamina. Or maybe he just reminded me of the prologue.

Felt it was pretty cool to see Simon as a wonderer at the end, and I could understand why he said "Who the hell do you-- *interuption* Heh, I guess I'm a nobody now", because he knew he didn't have to bring attention to himself. (Basically, it's cool when a guy doesn't have the need to brag about themselves all the time haha)

Sad to see Yoko's two love interests die. ;-;

And other stuff I can't remember. Lol at Leeron not aging xD

Man I loved that show. And the action as well.[/COLLAPSE]

I wish Gainax didn't have to be Gainax all the time.
Simon doesn't even get a happy ending. I thought that was pretty bull**** but noooo Gainax has to end all his animes on DEEP AND MEANINGFUL things.

This just hit me... Lord Genome said
"1 million monkeys and the moon will fall"...

I mean... why be that vague?

EDIT: But now that I think about it, it would just be like Rossiu's old village.

There's also the "fight the power" one, can't remember the name of it off the top of my head. If I remember, I'll tell you.
Two versions:

Rap Is A Man's Soul
Libera Me From Hell

One is simply rap, the other is something more (goddamn Latin up in this *****).

The anime, however, remains the best thing I've ever seen to be put on T.V. Anime or otherwise.

A question guy:

How did you feel about Lord Genome just being a 'computer'?
What about Boota? I thought it was awesome to see him evolve. I can understand the limitations, but do you think Gainax wrote that so we could think of possibilities of Boota somehow evolving in the future (unwritten)?

TTGL is the best. I just had one qualm, and that is
Rossiu. He's such a ***** the whole time. It's his goddamn fault the moon falls. It's 1mil ON THE SURFACE, and Rossiu forces everyone out from underground for the census. If he wasn't so stupid, he'd just census everyone that wants to be up and keep it limited.

Yeah he was a di.ck bag at that point. His way of managing the government was annoying, but I forgave him because he acknowledged that (and almost killed himself), but learned to fix what he was doing wrong. Maybe. Seemed fine afterwords. Although, it was also sort of sad because people distanced themselves from him. I felt bad for him in that angle. Like, when he was younger, he wasn't being responsible of anything that serious, so he was fun to chill with. Not anymore.

That's what happens when you live in such a place that he grew up as a kid. Kind of seemed like an allusion to me of how his priest acted. He was only trying to keep order.

I understand trying to keep order, but he blatantly ignored the fact that NOT A SINGLE TIME EVER did a census occur for the people underground. Lordgenome's reason for forcing everyone to live underground was to keep the moon from falling. Obviously if you had to count those who weren't on the surface, Rossiu would've heard of lordgenome, the gunmen, etc.

Rossiu is stupid and everything is his fault, then he had the audacity to pin it on Simon. I was actually upset when he didn't kill himself.

Glad he didn't though. Creating a problem and then dying without making an effort to fix it? ****ty way to go out to me. He stepped up and made amends for his mistakes, evidenced by his role in the ending of it.

If nothing else, this show is basically about growth in nearly every feasible form. Evolution, escalation, growth as a character, physical, mental, emotional growth, etc. The entire point of the show is a drill. It's cool to see that wasn't wasted on anyone considered to be a main character. That includes Rossieu

Source? I don't remember the rule applying to only people who lived on the surface.

It's not confirmed, but I explained it logically. If it was 1mil on the whole planet, LG wouldn't be content with keeping them underground. He would FORCE them up and make them stay on the surface to keep a consensus. Since LG disregarded all humans as long as they stayed underground, it makes sense that underground doesn't matter.

Didn't Rossieu's village have a population limit for that very reason? Then again, I don't think Kamina and Simon's village had it because they were very shocked/pissed about it when they met Rossieu.

the limit was because of village upkeep. The village itself couldn't support more than 50(?) people. It wasn't related to the global limit.
