Board 8 > Annual watchthrough of Gurren Lagann

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just who the hell etc etc

such a good show

---

hey remember this weird ass Foreshadow that didn't actually foreshadow anything?

---

so is Yoko actually 14 or does she only think shes 14, kinda like with Goku

---

Japanese names make me laugh sometimes

for example, Hadouken isn't a proper noun

Ryu is saying SURGE FIST over and over

Kamina named the robot FACE with Lagann

---

Whats crazy is the controls for those mechs probably don't have a universal control scheme

your own spiral power makes it whatever you want it to be

oops we're not talking about that yet

---

man what a red herring Kamina's dad was lol

This intro is AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

---

I remember seeing an AMV that had footage of Megas XLR with this song

it got taken down

I should recreate it

---

HeyheyHEYHEYHEYYYY

As the series takes place underground, time may be measured differently. So a year underground may be different from what we consider to be a year.

that image of Simone carrying Kamina while hes indian style while Yoko is watching their flanks in Lagann

I want a figure like that

yea we anime fans have to bend the definitions so we can safely touch ourselves to these anime chicks

---

Oh MAAAN Steve Blum's Leeron

---

His Leeron Performance is what I pictured Wallace Wells sounding like from Scott Pilgrim when I read the comic

---

I legit get a big smile on my face when I watch this show. its just so dumb and amazing and wonderful and basic and complex


---

You need Guts and a cool head!

Reminds me of FFT

---

I'm smiling thinking about it... but I haven't watched it in so long, the pile-up of never-watched series really makes it difficult to do rewatches.

Though I also never watched the dub, sounds like it's good? (no pun intended)
Do you switch between dub and sub from year to year?

Oh no its always the dub if I can help it

I think probably like a total of two years it was the sub

Yuri Lowenthal voices Simone and Kyle Herbert voices Kamina

great stuff

---

Who the hell do you think I AM KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

---

hands off my beloved little brother PUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

---

aaand theres kamina's dad

---

also I like how they have a tattoo artist at the village

his dad had some tribals too

---

Viral time

---

Hes voiced by Sam Riegel

Donnie from tmnt 02 and Phoenix wright

Ill admit he's no Nobuyuki Hiyama but he gets the job done

---

Viral theme is pretty banging

Really such good music in that show... a few were a staple of my gym playlist back then, unironically

I don't think I would be good at spiral power. I would be too cautious to go all out

---

Combine

---

Man imagine if kamina killed himself when he put lagann on top

---

I always found it weird the crest appears when they combine

---

Here comes the famous episode 4

Its crazy this low level filler episode introduces such an important character

---

Those teeth

---

Kinon would've been mine

---

My 2nd favorite anime of all time. Simon's speech is one of the greatest moments in anime history(Episode 11)

---

this almost blew up 4chan back in the day

---

Speaking of which , man, me and ltm used to be anime butt buddies and this was a show we would fawn over

He used to be cool

---

the recycled transformation sequence STARTED on this episode too

---

I actually recall reading somewhere that the Hot Springs episode got chopped up and was turned into a semi recap episode

but that wasn't the actual intention of the episode, apparently they did that because they had to cut a bunch of stuff from that ep.

I wonder if the app is gonna have the recap episode or the uncut episode

---

the chick that sings the opening is apparently a disturbingly big fan of Jojo

she covered one of the Jojo Openings but IMO it wasn't that good :(

---

enter chibi Dan hibiki

---

yea there isn't much to say about this episode lol

---

Definitely recap episode

---

Did this a couple years ago and it holds up sooooo well. It's way better than any other gainax/trigger show tbh. It's not just that the theme is inherently exciting, but it actually makes a lot of sense every step of the way. No other show does the exponential growth that well.

---

Old man Coco is supposed to be Nina's care taker but what was up with him in this episode?

He was leading people to the springs

---

how is Dan Hibiki familiar with the concept of being poisoned or assassination?

---

speaking of this episode and its supposed cut content

I've also never seen the movies nor the OVAs

apparently they've never been dubbed

---

Movies aren't as good

---

Merch for this show is minimum 50 bucks for anything

And obviously it's mostly yoko stuff

---

Yea thats to be expected but I figure they slightly retell it differently

also I heard about SUPER Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!

---

I'm really glad Cotton Hill could join Team Dai Gurren

It'll make for good war stories around the poker table back at the home
