On the other hand, the people known as the antispirals, who gave up their lives and performed the ultimate sacrifice to protect the universe, were ultimately undone by Simon's selfish ambitions. Now, going into space after being attacked and threatened to be killed, I can accept that. Although calling him a hero is a bit far fetched. He sacrificed the universe for his friends, which is just barely above Leena Inverse sacrificng the world for Gourry (which everyone seems to hate her for).

TL;DR: Simon never grew up. He destroyed the universe with his “lol, we'll deal with it later” attitude. All the people who actually accepted the inevitabilities of the universe they lived in were portrayed as antagonists. In fact, Simon actually became less rationale and adult as the series progressed.

OP, you already answered your own questions.

Troll.

YOU FUCKEN TROLL DONT INSULT GFURNE LAGNAN

>TTGL Thread

>OP, you already answered your own questions.

Then why does everyone consider this a coming of age story and/or a great anime? Its just a portrayal of how stupid people can be. It seems pretty shit imo.

>>16334220

>selfish ambitions

You are aware Nia being an Antispiral meant nothing in the context of his battle.

Nia could have been absolutely nothing important and some random guy/girl who nobody knew or recognized could have been the Antispiral messenger and Simon still would have stopped them.

Why? CAUSE THEY WERE GONNA DESTROY EARTH NUMBNUTS

>>16334323

Because being a hothead who acts on instinct is still better than being a coward who can't do a goddamn thing when under pressure.

>>16334348
And he destroyed the universe, genius.

>>16334352
You're right. Maybe I'm being unfair. Its not that I didn't like the anime, but it just doesn't seem worthy of praise.

An interesting story, but...well...the characters were pretty hollow...

I know this is a troll but it still gets me and makes me angry.
Good troll I guess, or is it that easy to troll me with TTGL?

>>16334427

-10/10

Stop trying to troll the newfags.

>>16334201
The series was meant to imply that they could defeat the Spiral Nemesis without locking everyone away underground. That was why Lord Genome caved in to Simon in the end. Originally, Lord Genome believed that the Anti-Spirals were in the right, but he changed his mind once he saw what Simon had accomplished.

>>16334434
I could troll TTGL with less, and get more replies.

>>16334403
He doomed every single thing. Anywhere. Ever.

>>16334427

>destroyed the universe

... what? Doesn't his admitting at the end pretty much say Simon will do what it takes to PREVENT the universes destruction?

More or less he wants to end Anti Spirals "kill everything that can be a potential threat" regime.

>>16334488
....whats he going to do?
Thats the: “i'll deal with it later, lol” attitude i'm talking about. They have absolutely no idea how to deal with this. Simply saying “ill figure it out later, not now, my GF is dead and I just killed her and the only people maintaining the universe” is pretty...you know...immature...and stupid...

>>16334201

Obvious troll is obvious once he got to Rossiu

Bump?

>>16334604

>whats he going to do?

Have faith in man kind. His statement "we're not as foolish as you think" kinda implies that.

>“ill figure it out later, not now, my GF is dead and I just killed her and the only people maintaining the universe” is pretty...you know...immature...and stupid...

Well it's clear you didn't pay attention to it, understand what was going on or even bother to think your argument through. You're acting solely on what you've seen and drawn the worst possible conclusion from it and have given us the impression what Simon did and everything man kind will do without Anti Spiral's oppressive regime will be nothing but horrible horrible "DESTROY UNIVERSE" bullshit.

Hint: It's called an open end. You wanna think everything Simon did was bad? Fine think that way. But don't tell it to us like it's fact.

it was fun to watch

>but it seems like the only human in the entire series (Rossiu) who actually tried to take responsibility as a leader and do the necessary evils, was looked down upon

What the fuck? /a/ hates Rossiu but the show implies that he was a good leader. That's why he's president of the earth and Simon is a hobo.

His not bringing nia back with spiral power foreshadows spirals using restraint and not causing spiral nemesis.

>>16334708
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

If I was a troll, why would I write 2 paragraphs? I could get twice this many angry fans if I just posting that it was an “immature show”.

I tried to elaborate at least, I guess that makes me a troll.I'm raging irl.

>>16334788
Maybe I did draw the worst possible conclusion, but from what I can see.. Simon has activated a ticking tomebomb that the spirals have to stop, or else it destroys a chance at life of every single lifeform that would ever be born. The antispirals stopped it, but at a large cost. I guess the point i'm trying to make is that after being told that they were destroying the universe (which is, umm, a big deal?) Simon just yelled about TTGL and started fighting.

>>16334889

What steps should be taken to keep the resource party going for as long as possible? Forcefully take responsibility away from individuals and dictate terms? Or, as Simon advises the child, less force and more suggestion?

>>16334859
Really? I just assumed she was an anti-spiral life form and that he could not bring her back.
In b4 every single person telling me the reference was so obvious.

>>16334991

Same here, how would you go about bringing someone back to life with will power anyway?

>>16334889

Ticking time bomb? Dude nobody knows how the universe will end. Not even Anti-Spiral knew for sure. Anti Spiral's solution wasn't the be-all-end-all answer. If anything it implied it only HELPED spiral beings along by causing them to have to work under pressure which tends to help evolution.

Fuck for all we knew Spiral Nemesis doesn't have a method of prevention. It could be a force of nature for all we know. The end of everything. And everything comes to an end. You wanna argue that Simon started a timebomb?

Prove Anti Spiral was preventing a timebomb.

The entire premise of the series is that logic is bullshit in the TTGL universe, so stop trying to apply logic to it. In TTGL universe, you can do ANYTHING with enough spirit, which means Simon or someone else can save the universe if they want it enough.

/thread

>>16334986
Yes, notice i'm advocating toward the antispirals? I agree with their ideas more. I don't trust Spirals with the fate of the universe.

>>16334889
And the Anti-Spiral's solution was better?

It was like a living contradiction. To allow spiral beings to exist, but to attempt to suppress their natural tendency to evolve? It'd never work. It'd break down sooner or later anyway.

And typically a people who are annihilated the instant they become perceived as "potentially dangerous" by their keepers become a bit rebellious.

>>16334889

Only a troll could be so stupid. Even the biggest Rossiufags admit trying to kill Simon was out of line, and here you are sucking his dick about it (nothing but necessary evil) FU TROLL

>>16334991

Simon could have extended her life with Spiral Power. Simon accepting Nia's death wish was important because it signified both him loving her enough to respect her desire and will and him being ready to sacrifice everything to protect humanity.

>>16335039
You win. From what I can tell, this is the most logical argument i've heard all day.

>>16335083
butthurt much?

>>16335046

So you'd rather live in a dictatorial state where you believe you're being taken care of yet oppressed rather than trusting people to fend and help themselves and each other.

Everyone is a super saiyan in Gurren Lagann. You want a mech? Okay here, take this one. Never piloted a mecha before? Doesn't matter faggot, just use some fighting spirit. You're sad? Fuck you, I'm going to punch you in the face. You feel good now? That's right faggot, now squeeze those levers and stab your drill dick into my mecha, so we can combine or some shit. Fuck we didn't even have to weld anything. NOW SUPER DEMON FUCK YOU NIGGER KICK! The length of the attack title is equal to the power, and intensity of the maneuver, but you already knew this. Let's all fuck, and cum everywhere.

Naruto and Bleach, but I like Naruto more than bleach because Naruto's character have more....personality? I guess? That and all through the rescue arch in Bleach it was kind of a repetitive "Rawr rawr rawr ima kill u, o wait u beet me now ima join u"

My experience with SRW suggests that how long you draw out the name can make up for a short name. Listen to fuckin' Kyosuke's Geshpenst Kick and tell me that's not full of Spiral Power.

This wouldve made a fucking epic anime.

and im the kind of anime faggot that just watches it and enjoys it, unless its mind cripplingly shit. Doesnt matter what the fuck it is, I will try to enjoy it.

All I can say is Gurren Lagann was the most epic of the anime ive seen, the end battle was fucking ridiculous.

and Nia vanishing pissed me off. The main dude saves the universe, so his bitch vanishes into thin fucking air and hes exiled from humanity? some fucking reward
