@Really:
We don't even know what the voices sound like.
If you haven't figured it out yet, you really don't belong here.
-
In all seriousness, I'm probably going to buy this; for the fact that I lost all my sub episodes and don't feel like dling them.
-
Just people acting like dumbasses using retarded memes over a trailer that reveals nothing.
-
Hey guys.
.Prepare to face-palm AND laugh your arses off!
Oh come on, we haven't even heard the voices. Is bitching necessary? But I found the trailer hilarious.
-
If you haven't figured it out yet, you really don't belong here.
oh hey a Terek post that doesn't force in a bunch of embarrassing memes.
-
Keep in mind, I'm not really angry, just flabbergasted ADV could be so silly (in a bad way). Trailer doesn't affect me either way.
@Really:

I don't understand why you seem angry over people getting upset over something that, quite obviously, sucks really badly.
Most "dub trailers" that don't have any actual dialogue are dubs that didn't fly well with test audiences. As in, Utawarerumono, Fate/stay night, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, to name a few. Kanon 2006, one of ADV's "finest" dubs was an exception to this.
We already have a good implication that GL's dub is going to be middling at best. "We don't know yet" my arse, given who we know of the cast it was already obvious what kind of dub we were getting. Unless some folks honestly believe the Haruhi dub is for some reason going to be totally different from the Geass one.
Secondly, evaluating the trailer's quality, ADV has no idea on how to market this show, so they've tried some weird advertising technique and it's fallen pretty flat. Since NewType February is the last edition of NewType, it's going to have a lot more sales than normal editions, meaning.
More people are going to get turned-off from the dub. People who already saw GL aren't going to care, but "mainstream" fans who we really need to buy it aren't going to like it. Unless they're gits!

Go back to bed, Carter.

Oh wow
do you ever read your own posts and realize how they sound
-
I do.
My intent is to make them sound half-arsed, as if there's genuine rage or annoyance or something along those lines but the weird phrasing and odd profanity lessens the impact a lot. That's how I how I (attempt) to communicate I'm not taking things too seriously.
If I go out of control like in the old days I'm going to get permanently banned from here. I already have more strikes against my name than most of the banned folks combined.

what's wrong with the trailer
GL doesn't take itself very seriously and the trailer isn't either, so.
We already have a good implication that GL's dub is going to be middling at best. "We don't know yet" my arse, given who we know of the cast it was already obvious what kind of dub we were getting. Unless some folks honestly believe the Haruhi dub is for some reason going to be totally different from the Geass one.
Do you mean the Geass being different from the Haruhi dub, or do you mean something else? (what was wrong with the haruhi dub again)
but whatever, I'll wait until the dvds are out to say it's shit or gold.
-
I wish I kept up with every anime ever so I could understand half of Terek's points
-
-
-
Gurren-Lagann is an intense and serious drama
-
the part where Simons face gets buried in yoko's breast was moralling deep and symbolic
-
Rossiu Was Wrong
-
As a godless dubbie, I have to say that I found that trailer hysterical, now i'm really looking forward to the US release (as all the rumours about ADV cancelling this series seems false, hopefully).
EDIT: You know, before I saw that I never realized it was pronounced "Guy-nax," I always pronounced it "Gay-nax."
-
Yup, it's Guy-nax. "Gai" is always pronounced "Guy" in the Japanese tongue it seems.

There are different levels of "not taking stuff seriously" and people just throw that term around generically like they do "deus ex machina" and "GAR". DEX is used to denounce something people don't like and GAR is used as a sign of approval. Both have been totally removed from their original meanings.
My bar for "not taking stuff seriously" is a show with barely any central plot at all- the plot is basically a frame tale for the outrageous antics that occur to entertain the viewer. Bobobo, Excel, and FLCL are such shows. Gurren-Lagann is not; it has more in common with Getter Robo and other super robot classics people don't watch than it does FLCL. Heck, even Diebuster was more nonsensical than GL.
BUT! GL was like this for the first three [episodes], and that's what ADV advertised. That'll get the FLCL fans in the door…but what happens when they jump ship after Kamina dies, just like a huge number of the "fans" who hate post-eight GL for being "tricked" by Gainax and religiously vote in the five hundreds for Kamina in SaiGar?

-
that trailer didn't capture the nostaligia.
-
That literally made me lol, tony-kun.
-
wouldn't people complain if they showed later stuff too. I remember people bitching about one of the bios for the series talking about the moon and AntiSpirals and whatnot. I mean, that's how the show presents itself until that event happens, and then things start shaking up. That's what happened when the show first aired, so I don't really see why a dub trailer should show that stuff either.
Just saying.

People don't like being fooled. How many folks including myself have expressed they liked Garlock in GL's OP more than most of the whole series? A one minute clip better than twenty seven? Some folks are like that.
I introduced two real-world friends to GL and one put it down until December because Kamina made a huge impact on him and he didn't want to watch anymore after he died. My sister is the same way - she'd rather watch Geass again than GL #9. I couldn't convince either of them to go further.
(Incidentally, neither of them remember the prologue!)
On the Anti-Spiral thing, that was just idiotic, since it spoiled a huge plot point of the series. ADV only had to go say, "oh, and they beat the aliens. Nia/Gurren Gang/Kamina also died. Lord Genome died twice" to spoil the entire series.
It's generally assumed people don't like spoilers. Take Buuhan1, who comes in this topic to read spoilers and goes "whoops, if I were watching this show I would be really pissed off reading that. Thank god I'm not, but I would have gotten into it if I wasn't spoiled". :getlost:
-
Who doesn't watch something just because a character died
Jeeze. Talk about taking a cartoon too serious
-
Especially Kamina.
I don't understand how people liked him so much. Especially after only 8 episodes
-
@Really:

It's because, quite literally, they hated everything in the show except Kamina.
-
It's funny, because I'm a person and Kamina was the only reason I hated it at first.
i never felt the nostallgiia.
-
Kamina was pretty good and kind of funny but not THAT good. I mean I can see why they offed him when they did.
-
-
Wow, a couple of sheep replied to my post.
What I hate is that it doesn't seem to have a target audience. TTGL can be funny, but it's more serious most of the time. The too goofy trailer won't work for most fans. It might appeal to fans of comedy-centric anime but they will be disappointed with the series once they see it. It won't appeal to fans of Gainax's previous works because it doesn't have the same style of humor as FLCL nor the serious appeal of NGE. So who are they trying to draw in with this trailer?
Also, compare ADV's trailer to Ganaix's trailer.
-
How can you even say TTGL is a very serious show
it's so cheesy and goofy 90% of the time
-
Did you watch the last couple of episodes? Me thinks not.
-
Galaxy throwing.
-
Nothing in the whole show could really be called serious. Even things like Kamina or Nia's death are made out to be pretty pseudo-sappy, and the whole series sort of screams soap opera.
On another note, I still retain my liking for Kamina, as regardless of his cowardice and whatnot, the fact remains that he did some pretty awesome crap.
-
This reminds me of when Ao Kiji got pissed at the title of Yoko's theme, and said it undermined her character and made him unable to take her seriously
when you're not supposed to take her seriously to begin with.
-
When I saw the US trailer from ADV at NYAF, I hated it. Now that I see it again, I still hate it. They made it look more retarded than fun. If that was the first thing I saw of TTGL, I would probably never watch the series.
To me there is a difference between stupid like that and fun to watch.
-
The only part of TTGL that I thought handled seriousness without seeming stupid was the whole parallel reality thing; like Sunday said, I thought all the other moments were too sappy and out of place.
-
The end was so much hype.
I thought just regular Gurren Lagann was far more interesting to look at than Choginga Gurren Lagann and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. And I thought it was weird that they gave the Anti-Spirals God Attacks but Simon had to just smash robots into a planet.
-
Hey guys.

Okay, I love ADV and respect their work, but this didn't click with me. I just can't get into it, even when I saw that episode on their streaming service a while back.
No offense ADV, but you're not getting my money for this show.
EDIT: And, before anyone bashes me, the trailer was posted here & I'm just giving my honest opinion on it.
-
Don't judge an anime by its trailer.
-
…...God damnit I lol'd...XD!!!

thats because the Koopa was suposed to be Viral who had pointy teeth
-
sharp teeth don't cut it.
sorry.
Goomba looks more like a ninja turtle then Simon.
-
Eh, I don't get what DDG's on about. That combo was really really fun - I don't browse /i/ at all but after seeing something that cool I should drop by more frequently in the future!
-
I like how every boring thing with MARIO or GURREN LAGANN on it is deemed hilarious
