SRW Z: Don't You Lose, Gunleon! (Ext.)

[@shauqiharris2772]

I'm here because Gunleon finally getting an official model kit by Bandai.

[@adrianadonis4558]

Kudos to Banpresto for making this theme song for an original mecha sound like an opening song for an actual Super Robot show.

[@lukeeichenlaub3183]

Bemidoban and Bankaran are right there.

負けないぜ! ガンレオン

[@rickybell]

manly tears that flow like waterfall's.............

[@halberddd]

MAKENAI-ZE MAKENAI-ZE MAKENAI-ZEE.. GUNNNNNNNNNLEOOOOOOONNNNN

[@Motolmang]

I really wish Z was in English. Cause Gunleon looks so bad ass and his theme is so macho, and I want to know more about it, it's story, and its pilots. So badly.

[@SeiyaTempest]

Same tbh

[@CommanderBohn]

There'll never be another super robot that'll shed manly tears for those crushed by it...

[@Voltexfinal]

Actually, those tears are because the Gunleon itself is in pain. That’s the Curse inflicted by the Sphere of the Wounded Lion: inflicting major physical pain onto the user. That, and the Sphere itself is sentient, and chose to dwell in a mech designed for repair SPECIFICALLY because it didn’t WANT to inflict pain onto others.

[@SuperMark12344]

this Gunleon theme is like Baran Doban theme

[@shaunttorosian8498]

I think they are both made by the same guy

[@OmegaChosen0]

@ConkerfanX Basically speaking it has a Core wihch is unique in the multi-universe and is powered by self-pain The Core installed itself in a construction mech because it doesn't like fighting

[@FireBomberBassist]

GAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@eniitanodutola7156]

The Crusher! The pilot Rand Travis is awesome though I haven't played it and the gameplay videos were wicked.

[@承太郎空条-b8i]

ＢＧMかっけぇ

[@Delta0kami]

because it uses drills then you could argue the same for any number of super robots (such as gravion which has a drill fist). Also as far as simon goes hes kind of an introvert and we see alot of good character development as the story progresses something we dont really see too much in armageddon. the Ryoma in new getter gets some good character development but i feel that the armageddon one is just static. Yes you can pretty much guess what simon will do next but

[@ZeranEmpire]

Ryouma in Armageddon didnt seem that crazy, in all honesty. New Getter on the other hand...

[@Delta0kami]

i feel the unpredictable thing was kaminas gig.

[@Darkness-yi1gi]

howl roar gunleon!

[@wiessritter]

man if only i could see Gunleon and Gao Gai Gar standing on gurren laggans corpse while doing a bro fist then my life would be complete

[@4chance610]

Why the hate? Gurren Lagann was meant to be a homage to Getter Robo and Gao Gai Gar in the first place. Also not really sure why Gunleon is in the picture either except it was in the same game.

[@wiessritter]

@@4chance610 man that was years ago and I dont even hate it anymore. Teenagers are dumb and I forgot this comment existed. Ttgl is alright. Still not a huge fan of kamina tho

[@4chance610]

@@wiessritter I can see the cringy teen bit. What about Kamina rubbed you the wrong way?

@@4chance610 honestly I couldn't say, the bravado maybe?

[@4chance610]

@@wiessritter True, the man talks mad smack he can't back, but I still found him to be loads of fun. Simone doesn't get anywhere near as fun till near the end of the anime.

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Well Gainax does steal concepts from getter robo very often *coughgunbustercough*, so the comparison IS inevitable.

[@Delta0kami]

I dont agree with your statement that the Giga drill breaker, just because it has a giant drill doesnt mean its like getter-2, if I remember correctly the plasma drill hurricane which was the super move of getter two wasnt a giant drill or anything it was a hurricane that was fired out of getter 2's drill. also getter 2 had one drill on its arm. the whoole idea of gurren lagann is that it can make drills from anywhere not just its arms. if you are arguing that gurren lagann is like getter 2

[@Delta0kami]

I also think that the looks of gurren lagann itself remind people of older shows. maybe its just me but it looks kinda like getter combined with mazinger and some other things. Also as good as Armageddon was it wasnt a really cohesive story bc of the director switch

[@Delta0kami]

Also GGG does what TTGL does. It takes aspects from previous Super Robot shows and make them its own.

[@OmegaChosen0]

@DJxGundamXMiku Bah Rand is way more willing to bash your face with a giant wrench Gunleon itself doesn't like fighting(badass pacifist) but since it listened to Rand's hotbloodness it decided to fight anyway and it woke it's true form or something like that

[@Trent957]

I decided to watch because of people like you hyping it up and BECAUSE I am a fan of the older series, I was constantly comparing it and ended up with the feeling of "seen it and seen it done better." Spiral Power in and of itself is borrowed so heavily that it might as well be a ripoff, It grows stronger through will(Courage) and is the power of evolution(Getter Rays). Took 2 known concepts, merged them, and did nothing different. TTGL will ALWAYS live in the shadow of GGG and GetterRobo.

[@Trent957]

GGG does pay homage but it does it in a way where its not screaming it in your face 100% of the time. TTGL wasn't unique enough to keep itself from being compared to its grandfathers. Also you may want to watch more into GGG and Getter Armageddon, yes GGG was very MoTW but there was still a good overarching storyline, especially in the later half. Not going to defend GetterRobos MoTW formula, but Armageddon is done pretty nicely, plus Bat shit insane Ryouma > Simon any day of the week.

[@namkha209]

System Shock joke here.

[@gaspersb]

This is a Super Robot Wars Game. Every single Original Character is literally that. "Original Character, Donut Steal". Literally. They have copyrights on them. They toe the line very carefully and are somewhat helped by having the characters that inspire their characters making money for the copyright owners in the game. They consciously make jokes about it, sometimes. Like joking about Sleigh kind of being like some... Crimson Meteor, Comet maybe? And then backing off because they might get sued to death.

[@Vanreis]

Why cant you and other "sour" people acknowledge that Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is not only a very good anime but at the same time a TRIBUTE to older series. Of course they borrowed a lot from them but it was not stealing, it was mostly so older fans could have moments of nostalgia. You would understand it if you noticed how enthusiastic that series feels.

[@Trent957]

In my original comment i said that TTGL was overrated, but not bad. Its fanbase is where most of my ire for that show comes from. As far as homages go, yea i got the Getter/Mazinger vibe from the GL itself, but it still stood out as its own machine (good). Giga Drill Break is just Getter 2 with an enlarged drill however, so it loses points for originality there. Also Ryouma is more interesting to watch than Simon, half the time you don't know what Ryouma will do. Simon was pretty cut and dry.

[@Delta0kami]

I liked Armageddon! I love batshit insane Ryoma and i also really liked New Getter Robo even tho that was the epitome of MoTW. (although honestly after watching Armageddon it kinda ruined the original 1980's Ryoma for me.) Also I dont see why you have to compare Simon and Ryoma, they arent the same kind of character at all. Ryoma is meant to be an insane anti hero that blurs the lines between good and evil a bit. on the other hand Simonis more of a determinator, notcrazy in the way Ryoma is

[@thomas86800]

i like land crasher but this theme is better, and Genesic GaoGaiGar is better than ttgl.

[@123123s3]

why does one have to be better then the other? why not enjoy both?

[@thomas86800]

why i have to enjoy the mecha tribute series if i can like the original one? at least if Kamina was the main character it would really rivalize with generic mecha series, but look, simon is the main character, and he uses a kind of asian girl idol red(almost pink) star glasses, doens't fit super robot series.

[@Delta0kami]

Its true that TTGL borrowed from the older series but its also true that these "tributes" were not the entire story. The oldies had mostly monter of the week formats which i find to be irritating and stupid. I much prefer the setting of gurren lagann where the onlly differences between the good guys are skill and fighting spirit.

[@Trent957]

nobody is saying TTGL was bad, but its VERY overrated, mainly cause of its overzealous fanbase that refuse to acknowledge that TTGL borrows heavily from Getter and Gao Gai Gar. Simply put, Getter and GGG did it first and did it better. I liked Spiral Power better when it was called Getter Rays and Courage.

[@123123s3]

@The Fantom Convoy👑🏆 Better idea, why not like all 3?
