Everything GREAT About: Gurren Lagann | Second Half

[@AnimeWins]

Thanks for watching eveyone, I hope you enjoyed! Please also note that I wrote and edited these 2 videos back to back months ago, hence why I'm still talking about a mangaka in spite of being told there isn't one after releasing the first half. Thanks again and join my Patreon to show ya boi some love!

[@fernandogomezfischer948]

I hope you are doing the movies too! I think they are weaker with some important parts of the story but what they do with the final fight is worth it.

[@alphalex0192]

I tought I was ready to relive it all, I tought I couldnt cry. This anime is genuinely my favorite and for a good reason.

[@Mattius12341]

you should watch the 2 gurren lagan movies that condense the series. it might seem a bit rushed but they changed several of the fights and made the final battle even bigger

[@ravenlaw6813]

You should watch the movie. It's similar to the second half but with some really interesting changes. If you loved the anime the movie will blow you away.

[@Teru91333319]

It's super important to note, that you saying the animation quality stayed consistent throughout is why the team on this anime deserves ALLLLL the props. They actually ran out of budgeting before Episode 27. But they decided to push back the production, until they could get the budgeting to do the grandstand finale we ended up getting. That being said, the two movies are basically them going back with the money they got with the anime, and touching up with some stellar scenes added. PRIMARILY, in the finale. Like, it honestly puts every thing else ever in existence to shame. Loved the video!

[@erayergi]

i agree with the movie part, the final fight and the final form of gurren lagann was even more amazing and it still blows my mind every time i remember it

I'm kinda sad viral's alternate reality at 49:29 didn't get a win. I found it strangely heartwarming and sad knowing that he's never going to actually see that dream become reality since he doesn't have spiral energy

[@maxwellkaufman4178]

He has spiral energy he got trapped in the infinite Corridor Meaning he must be a spiral being now

Ye, he can’t even have a family even as an immortal being. Pretty tragic

@@maxwellkaufman4178 the infinite maze is said to trap those with inteligence, it has infinite spiral power, once SIMON absorb the maze, it might had share with the others, which would also grant them infinite spiral energy, with simon having a bigger infinite spiral energy than the others, so he might be able to have kids

[@tomithy_lo]

I always assumed it was implied that Viral gained Spiral power during that dream. He gets a core drill, and during the final fight he manifests his swords for TTGL. if you take the movies into account he manifests his own Tengen Toppa mech that looks like enki

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Everything was great about this anime, from the music, to the narrative, to the characters, to the ending. This is a must watch for a good reason.

[@vonfaustien3957]

Nah the stupid Nia bullshit at the very end just seemed like a cheap death for no real reason

[@pinkdrink6535]

its my favorite anime of all time.

[@vonfaustien3957]

@Tahj Pollock that reasoning could be aplied to everyone who diednin the final battle. Nia was a spiralmlifeform seeded with code from the anti sprials that highjacked her she wasnt just code the fact she faded was an asspull way to ring a bit more emotion from the last battle.

[@vonfaustien3957]

@Tahj Pollock ive seen it and i know whatnit said but whats said doesn't make sense given earlier ita started that the antispiral program had only overwritten her and not that she was solely antispiral code. One throw away line as she vanishes doesnt change the fact its a contrived death meant for emotional shock value

[@vonfaustien3957]

@Tahj Pollock a throwaway to justify an asinine asspull doesnt not preclude it being a stupid asspull. They arent mutually exclusive. And you are aware Gainax has a well know reputation for awful and nonsensical endings right?

[@tasogarerubica]

36:34 “The symbolism and the nods to the past of GurrenLagann is exceptional” ...You have no idea how far it goes... narratively, production wise, historically within studio Gainax and the anime industry as a whole...

[@QuigProQuo]

Reason why I love this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5q8qp2FjdebpLc

[@Aspid_Art]

One of the things I've pointed out to myself after rewatching Gurren Lagann is why would they use CGI, though so far they've been doing great with their animation. From the very first moment the antispirals appear on screen they stand out so much, you know that they are alien. An IMO there isn't a better way to introduce something so inorganic and unalive in this otherwise chaotic, but organic world.

[@iXSIKOBOIXi]

Exactly. Using the CGI to deliberately clash with the Artstyle makes you know from the offset that it's "different" and "wrong"

[@joetheturtle7768]

Well it’s actually cuz they started running out of budget, but I like your reasoning more

[@koathekid8255]

@@joetheturtle7768how DARE you assume they would EVER compromise because of a budget They literally decided to release only a portion of the series instead of compromising on the budget Its why the cgi looks so good because they never have and never will do such a thing known as *compromise*

[@Animus_Altia]

I would just like to enphasize that there is no mangaka for this anime. It's a totally original storyline with no manga that it's based off. The manga that does exist was made after this anime.

You Only Kiss Once

[@1TutorialBoss]

I loved TTGL for its realism of grief and depression. Grief for loosing Kamina, showing us slowly the 5 phases and letting us know its ok to not be ok and take time to heal from trauma. Showing you one of many ways you can fight and shout back at the monsters inside you without substance abuse/self harm. Spiral power being will/determination/drive/self-esteem/whatever and Anti-Spirals being intrusive thoughts "Its not good enough", "Im not special" (they LITERALLY say it to Nia), "you cant do that/anything". This is my go-to "I need a smile" show.

[@depressedpengu4048]

Ah Gurren Lagann.. this anime, IMO, was and still is a masterpiece for me. The fact that it got me so hooked to the story and massive battles, it truly has a special place in me heart. Even after rewatching the anime a couple of times, you still feel like you’ve just discovered the anime and that pure joy, sadness and overall fun still feels great.

[@reinerzufall2070]

One of my favorit thing about the end is a lesson with that. They talk about simon using the spiral power to bring back nia. ...he actually never denies that he couldnt, implying that if he wanted he could bring her back. But the whole lesson is that those in the past build the future for those left, and clinging to that past is not the right way.

[@ZunkleFunkle]

A detail that you didn't point out but I figured would be worthy of a win is that the voice actor of Simon after the 20 year time skip is the narrator who does the "this is the tale of a man" speech at the beginning of the episodes.

[@Namrek_Istos]

52:50 In the movie they take it two steps further. The pure energy of the Anti-Spiral's attack takes Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann and houses it inside of a Simon shaped Spiral energy house called Super Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann. Then when they do the Russian nesting doll scene, Simon straight up destroys all but Gurren Lagann, meaning it's only his Spiral power against the Anti-Spiral. Simon breaks through with Gurren Lagann, only for Gurren to be torn apart. Even Lagann takes a few hits before launching Simon directly at the Anti-Spiral's main body. And a silent fist fight between Simon and the Anti-Spiral occurs.

[@crimsonwizahd2358]

Better yet, STTGL isn't Simon's form.... it's Kamina. Even in their final battle, every one of them had Kamina in their hearts, so much so their most powerful, largest mech ever took on his likeness, simply because he gave them that much hope.

hAHAHAHA,,, Your reactions are so relatable. This series is hands down the absolute greatest feat of storytelling in our time. If you browse forums, reddits and videos they are filled with comments from people who say this anime helped them break through depression, loosing loved ones, finding a will to live and its easy to understand why. It saved me too from ongoing existential angst and dredd and got me invested in living to the fullest once again. I have so much love for this story, the creaters and all my fellow diggers forging their way forward in life and laughing in the face of impossible odds! It is a heart breaking, beautiful journey that simultaniously shows us the best and worst of what we will experience in life. It breaks my heart even still when I think about Simone loosing Nia in the end. It sounds odd but I miss this series in the same way that I miss a great friend that I havn't seen in years and I really hope and wish for a return to that universe. Even if they covered the Spiral Kings life I would be stoked as ever since I saw Gurrenn Lagann....it has been difficult to find anything else that can accomplish 1 tenth of the experience this show gives.

After surfing the comments this young man decided to take the plunge and find somewhere to watch it. He found a random Anime site and proceded to get sucked in by unbelievable action seauences, gorgeous visuals, and hilarious comedy. Only to have his heart gut punched into his balls and make him experience true sadness (to the point of actual tears) for the first time watching any medium ever. After this there was no turning back. Through long nights and endless emptional roller coaster rides this young man gets up from his bed, series finished, immediately itching for more.

After his opponent finally got the upper hand he just casually proceeded to wrack open the cockpit of his own giant mech, exclaiming that you should never let a mech do your job and just walks down his mech to pummel the mech of his opponent into submission with his own freaking bare hands. And don't forget he produced literal flames as hair on his bald ass head. Instead you just skipped the entire fight and gave a win to the music.

this is one of the few anime that really, and i mean really, gives me a jittery feeling even though i have watched it several times over. I really do enjoy this anime, and its become one of my favorites. There was heart and soul put into this anime, it made it the best it could be. In fact, watching this just makes me want to go and rewatch it like my 7-8th time. This anime has incredible music, the art style is amazing, the story is one of the best, they always make time for comedy, they have their serious moments but use those moments to deepen characters and their relationships, and they made a clear message too. That message was that even though life might try to screw you over, sometimes pushing forward can make it turn out the best. There was also death and loss based messages too, this anime is one that helped me deal with the losses of friends and family. Don't let the loss chain you to the ground, but still take the time to mourn and miss them. There are more messages in there, but if you havent seen gurren lagann on your own, i say go watch it and find them on your own.

[@Eriorguez]

Aw, no win for Lordgenome revealing he uses a 15 meter mech as a way to hold back in combat?

Truly one of the greatest anime of all time. Would LOVE it if you went and did a review of the 2 films they did, ESPECIALLY the final fight remake. Makes the original look like child's play in comparison. Just...just wow.

shut up I'm not crying your crying Not going to lie its been a few years since i have watched this anime and the last few episodes still bring tears to my face even thought this video. Great job man and if you have the time, the movies are definitely worth watching, they skip over some of the smaller stuff (due to time constraints) but i feel like they did excellent and where as good as the anime.

Man it's been so, so many years since I first saw gurren lagann. I personally don't like replaying story driven games, and rewatching anime/movies/series, all for the same reason. Once you know the story, the reason to watch it is gone. Although, this video just made all those memories rush back, getting me all emotional. I had forgotten just how great this anime is. I really should rewatch it someday.
