@Cap'n:
Fuck off guys Guame is kool
Who said he wasn't? He was the 2nd best of the Holy Generals.
Cytomander though… he can go die in a fire.

I hated how GEMBER was one of the coolest looking Ganmen in the series, and he pretty much got OHKO'd by Gurren Lagann.
Guame was also considerably more interesting than that queer chicken Cytomander.
He's the only of the generals I don't like.
@Kei:
Viral is a shark with feline cat components.
haha yes I sort of called it \o/
It was between shark or crocodile, but shark makes the parallels between Viral and Squalo of Reborn! even stronger, so.
I bet they put the cat part in to appeal to the moe!Viral fanboysgirls
Guame is a bit of a creeper…but at the same time I have a slight fondness toward armadillos. But Carter, you just like him because he's older
Shark just seems really odd. Oh well. Thanks for the info Kei.
Genome prequel go!
A Genome Spiral Knight adventures would be ridiculously awesome.
I'd like to see some different forms of Lagenzann, assuming he has them.
Hey there that's not just it
Turtles are one of my favorite animals, he had a slick personality outside of "im gonna rape u nia eheh," and he was pure class with that pipe
@Mr.:
A Genome Spiral Knight adventures would be ridiculously awesome.
26 episodes of them preparing to launch an attack, 1 episode of them getting assraped and Genome running away to Earth.

oh holy shit i wholeheartedly support this idea
especially because i wanted to see more about the spiral knights, and since obviously they couldnt cram fucking everything they probably wanted in 27 eps of GL we basically got "dey got knocked tha FUCKOUT"
but yes, CAPTAIN GENOME AND THE FANTASTIC SPIRAL BANDITOS EXPRESS 999 would be awesome
I hated Cytomander, but for some unknown reason, I liked his eyecatcher…
More stuff trickling in:
"Both Simon and Nia agreed to it and kept to their conviction, so there's no bitterness or sadness."
Ootsuka: "You would feel a lot of empathy for Nia near the end. Nia tried her best the whole time, and thanks to that they were able to defeat the Anti-Spiral, and on top of that, when she was supposed to disappear, she tried her best to continue living up to the wedding ceremony to fulfill her promise (marriage) to Simon from the beginning of the 3rd arc. We understand that everyone wanted to see Simon and Nia have a happy conclusion, but we want you to know that Nia tried really hard."
Originally Gurren Lagann was supposed to be a much more 'loose' sort of show, with more stories like episodes 4 and 6, but they realized it wouldn't be such a big hit like that, and as they continued writing, it got more serious.
Because it's Gainax, they had a scenario planned for a live broadcast version similar to Evangelion just in case. They would all move wooden chopsticks around and have Kamikawa Takaya add a voice.
When Imaishi & Nishigori first thought of the star glasses, they got excited like "Uooo this will surpass Kamina!! He's won!!" but then they saw the comments on Nicovideo and felt cut down.
The epilogue didn't have any character designs and Nishigori just drew it all firsthand.
On Nia & Simon's one week before their wedding-
Nakashima: "She held on with fighting spirit, but any more than that, like one month, and things like her nose or hand would start to disappear and, you know, various things would start to wither."
also apparently Simon only carved the prototype for the Kamina statue.
@Kei:

So he's to blame for Rossiu hitting puberty again!
haha I can imagine the nico comments now…
"...キモイ..."
Man, most of those questions must've really sucked

These three made me crack up.
Hohohohohooooo! I was wondering where the quote in Dai's sig was from. Jeez, Alice. Go get yourself checked out.
(Late to the party, but still came to it.)
I was thinking of grabbing all the important Gattai scenes and putting them back to back in a video and wanted to make sure I didn't miss any real important ones

Just watched episode 8
And damn, this series is getting really good.
I'm still reeling over the Anti-Spiral ships being designed by Araki.
Thanks for the picture Taleran.
Can't remember which game the original sprite actually comes from off the top of my head, but it's quite the impressive custom.
Probably any given SNK game

Looks kinda like Mai Shiranui's sprite, though I'm probably wrong.
Also, that's a perfect comparison, though I wonder if Mai has the Kiss of Death.
Ah, yeah. Mai, I couldn't think of who it was off the top of my head but that's definitely who I think it is.
EDIT:
Maybe not. :S Maybe another version of her from another game.
Ok. I've had this on hold for awhile and I just finished it today. I think it's overrated, but it was still good, and plenty of fun to watch. The last episode was one of the most epic anime episodes I've ever seen. I think the thing that really stood out about the series was the animation, I've never seen that kind of animation before. It really complimented the epic and hotblooded scenes.
My score: 8.5/10

Holy crap, I would die if someone could resize that Genome one to avatar size for me.
you do realize the forums Resize images automatically right?
So it does, but it comes out sort of blurry.
Resizing it to thumbnail size on Imageshack works better. :D

Thx x infinite.
(I always did like Viral better)
EDIT: The Trinity is complete.
Anyone know where I can get a good Torrent for episode 21 subbed by BSS? The one I have is rather faulty.
I'm attempting to acquire the whole show so I can burn the episodes to DVD, as I don't feel like waiting two years for the ADV ones.
daTorrents may have the full season.
I have two episodes left, and I must say while this series is pretty good, it is also pretty not good (didnt want to use pathetic) at the same time…
I find it cheezy that, like E7, the mecha gets its power on "feelings" and what not. Just seems like......ok...........thats nice.........makes me wonder what would happen if Simon decided to have sex with Nia in the Gurren Lagann.
Also seems like the mecha is pulling random powers out its ass for no reason at all, but thats just me.......
One other thing that I did not find too appealing is that
! Dying seems to be a some sort of a trend in this anime. I wouldnt be surprised if Attenborough decides to shoot himself out of his own cannons for the hell of it.
Other than that, its still pretty good, but it certainly does not deserve all the hype its getting.
we don't need no namby-pamby "feelings"
we have RAW FIGHTING SPIRIT
Really, TTGL isn't an anime you watch with your brain on. Fuck reason, right into the curb!

For an anime that doesn't require a brain, it sure throws a lot of attempted psychological bullshit at you.

If people think Evangelion is trippy, then the same can be said of Gurren Laggan, especially during the final episodes.
uh… not really.
No, seriously.
Yes, really. Seriously.
Gurren Lagann is not trippy. Even it's final episodes cant be trippy. Hell the mind dream in ep 26 actually helped. Okay, maybe Gainax did give us a bitersweet ending but at least they didn't give us some psychological mumbo fucko jumbo mind bullshit ending like they did in goddamn Evangelion.

Stuff about the human spirit and evolution, a boy growing up and learning to move on from some sort of incident, battle against the spirit where the hero breaks away from the fake truths and returns to reality.
Yeah, nothing like the ending of Evangelion.
Evangelion = Psychological emo fest.
Gurren Lagann = Hotblooded rave fest.
I like how you try defend that it's not psychological like Evangelion by using the "oh but Gurren Lagann is so hotblooded not like the emo fest like Eva" excuse.
I think they key difference between Eva and TTGL's psychological stuff is that after the psychological crap in Gurren Lagann fucking galaxy sized mecha threw big bangs at each other.
CONGRATULATIONS SHINJI, CONGRATULATIONSDSGSFOERWVSGI

That's only slightly psychological, at best.
If what you says constitutes as a mind trip then the original Dragonball should be considered a psychological bonanza.
@Mr.:

GL already has a CONGRATULATIONS scene in the form of Kamina and Simon meeting one last time in 26.
That's only slightly psychological, at best.

Well, then Evangelion must not be psychological either, yet you guys go on and on about how 'emo' and 'trippy' it is.
Eva wasn't emo, Shinji was emo.
I don't mind psychological stuff, I didn't like Evangelion because it was hideously boring.

How exactly was Eva boring? Not enough explosions and manly screaming for you?
