Kuragehime's a pretty good josei show, you should watch it.

...Which Eva movies did you watch? Rebuild? Because Rebuild is basically a different (albeit, much better) series using the same characters. If you mean Death and Rebirth and End then I have no idea what led you to that (or what you could have gotten out of End).

As for Gurren-hen and Lagann-hen, they are mostly just your standard crummy compilation movies, though Lagann-hen's finale is more enjoyable than the series finale.
>> No. 81074
Yeah, Kuragehime was excellent. Really I'm finding that I like a good large chunk of what ends up airing during the Noitamina block. Just high quality shows in general.
>> No. 81075

I watched it when it was airing, and was crushed that not only does it have a non-ending, trying to pick up the manga reveals that I hate the manga's art and will never have more of these characters.

I like the manga's art just fine, so I'm lucky in that regard. I need to catch back up, actually, I stopped reading pretty soon after Jiji became Jellyfish's product manager or whatever. Plus, the author's notes are kind of amusing because it becomes really clear just how autobiographical the whole thing is. The author is a jellyfish otaku, too, and all of her assistants are apparently different flavors of fujoshi.

Rebuild, yeah.

>crummy compilation movies

Indeed that seems to be the case; a good third of each of these movies so far are literally panning across static scenes that are clearly references to things they don't actually show with THAT SONG playing.

Zero characterization so far, still kicks ass.

What the frag man, you didn't need to make the same post in two threads.

And you know what? Kamina was 'A' true hero, and part of that was because of his 'Humility' {lol-pointless use of spoiler}
He was the one who STATED his role was to guide the rest of his friends forward by way of over-the-top inspiration, and most importantly to lead his little brother to growing into the role of the hero because he was the one with the power and the most important member of the crew.

I mean, this is all text, he states this that he's only the prophet while his bro is the messiah, and yet even without being the chosen one and knowing it he has his heart set on doing his best to inspire others to greatness.
>> No. 81087
>>81086

That's the vibe I'm getting a bit so far as well. Simon is only how he is because of how Kamina shaped him.
>> No. 81088
>>81087
Well sort of true I suppose, its obvious that as of the time period of before the series started and further on he's introverted and 'weak', seemingly not the kind of guy that would want to be a hero. But at the same time he has potential, which Kamina saw in him even when everyone else thought he was just another digger or later on Kamina's 'sidekick'.
When he lost his role model he crashed back even further from the trauma, it took another person to inspire him in another way for him to awaken to heroism.
>> No. 81091

>> No. 81092
>>81087
If you see the scene leading up to Simon's "rebirth," when Yoko tells the others about that story that Kamina told her, Simon always had that steel resolve inside him. Kamina made him believe in himself enough to make other people follow him, and he made Simon see that the fight against the beastmen was his fight, and not someone else's problem, but Simon was always a person who would keep digging no matter how bleak things got.

Kamina's most powerful attribute was showmanship, and that made him a better leader (in the sense of getting people to follow him), but not in the sense of making good or sound decisions, or choosing strategies that made any sort of sense. Not that Simon was great at that either--sad to say, but the people who were the best at actually leading people were Lord Genome and Rossiu. Though those two more than earned getting their asses kicked when filling those roles.

It makes me despair inside when people actually claim that Kamina would get upset or jealous if he had lived long enough to see Simon surpass him as Leader of the gang.

How can people miss the point so badly? He'd be overjoyed at seeing his little bro becoming a man, and follow him to the bitter end.
>> No. 81102
Kittan ended up being my favourite character come the end. In the second half of the show he really comes into his own, and is the only one who'd kept true to a pure version of ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH, serving to reunite everyone under it. Unshakeable and largely unsung.

And, in my experience, anyone who says Kamina was their favourite TTGL character didn't really understand TTGL. Not because Kamina wasn't a great character, but they mis-attribute him all the damn time and can't see beyond his bravado, and the worth of the actions of the other characters.
>> No. 81104
>>81102
Honestly this is not fighting words but... in a number of ways Kittan was a sort-of wannabe Kamina, copying all his big moments in the second-half.
His version of the final attack might have been bigger and flashier but that's only because all the heroes had a greater understanding of Spiral power by that point.
As well regarding Yoko, it was kind of a poor show as a Man to lay a kiss on her before going off on a suicide run, indeed while there is the logic of "This is going to kill me so who cares about subtlety I might as well go for it" but at the same time it laboured her with alot of guilt when he bought it.

Kamina's bravado was more than just simple bravado alone, it was the role he felt was his to play to inspire others like is pretty much stated when he talks quietly with Yoko before his final battle.
He is capable of 'getting serious', as seen in his performance in his last fight when along with his improving piloting skills he's able to go blade-to-blade with Viral in just the Gurren.

Man all this talk of TTGL reminded me of all the cool images I've got. Not gonna spam the General thread with them but does anyone think its worth making a TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN IMAGE THREAD just for fun? I guess it would be a place to take any discussion to stop it clogging up this thread as well.
>> No. 81110
>>81104

Kittan wasn't like Kamina; he just had it well in mind what team Dai-Gurren was supposed to be all about. His actions didn't have the same bravado and speech-making like Kamina had; he was crude, but very honest. His role was very different, but no less integral, and he had no less integrity than Kamina did.

As for the kiss...that's one way to look at it, but she'd have felt more guilty if he hadn't, I think. Besides, her character had changed into one that understood this part about men, I don't think she felt guilty- it's just something he felt he had to do.

Shitty 'DEEP' Gainax ending, don't focus on it too much.
>> No. 81123
>>81121
1. GAINAX ending

2. Like it was said in the show, Simon couldnt go around just reviving people. And it wouldnt be fair to make himself the exception to the rule. Thats exactly what the Anti-Spirals were afraid of and trying to stop.

3. A for Simon retiring, the grizzled badass drifter if most definitely a thing. And really he didnt need to do anymore. He accomplished great things but if he kept going he would just overshadow everyone else. Think if Kamina hadn't died, everyone would still be paying attention to him over Simon.

4. "But how could Simon just give all that up?" you ask. Well think about that for a moment. Just how much WILLPOWER, how much STRENGTH, does it take to have all that power and be able to walk away from it?

Not much, seeing as he lost the only thing of value.
What do political power and prestige matter? those things are meaningless.

Honestly with the symbolism of marriage as two people bonding and sharing their lives together until death do they part there was nothing stopping him sharing his life with hers in a very literal sense, so they both ran off his own lifeforce and would one day die at the same time.

A series that was so quickly milked with a pair of flashy yet ultimately shallow movies retelling the series is not one with much inherent meaning.
>> No. 81127

It's like this: each turn of the spiral is larger than the one before it. That's a drill! But as such, each generation must live to be greater than the one before it. Which means, when your time is over, it's time for you to step aside and let the next generation be the one to claim even greater glory. Kamina did it for Simon (despite them technically being the same generation), and now Simon has to do it for Gimmy and Darry's generation. Part of Simon's strength is that he doesn't even think twice about doing this.

So, like Jules Winfield, Simon decies to Walk the Earth. And in the end, we see him showing a new kid how to work a drill the right way.

Re: The weeaboo discussion from last thread.

I think some people have the same problem with people who are obsessed with England (I've heard them called "Britaboos"). People get so obsessed with England or Japan that others retaliate by not even letting casual fans bring them up at all. Not every person is an insane fan, some only do things to sane measures.

I did have a moment recently where I felt like a weeb though, because I don't watch much subbed anime, but I recognized Brook's VA from One Piece in another anime, and it took me two seconds into my first OP episode with Chopper to realize his VA was Ikue Ootani (though I grew up with hearing her constantly yell PIKA PIKA so I would have recognized her anywhere).

I find these people just as annoying as weeaboos or britaboos or whatever. I find the best way to get them to stop is to just call them on their bullshit and tell them they're being stupid.

Well I'm not talking about a "fake out protagonist." Or an overtly short breaking cliche moment.

I mean make the story legit. Make the journey of an idiot shounen stereotype hero. Make him gather friends. The guy is short sighted and like all shounen heroes despite winning a lot by luck, his luck runs out when he challenges a villain who is blatantly superior to him. Instead of the hero winning by pulling DEM out of his ass, he is brutalized to death for his idiocy. Then show how his friends end up murdered as well since they allied themselves with a moron who led them to their graves.

The story ends with all of them failing to live their dreams which they poorly planned out by selecting a moron to be their leader essentially. I'm looking for something like that with substance and good world building.

Hokuto no Ken 2 - Rock's last standyoutube thumb

It kind of sucks in all of Hokuto no Ken that basically anyone who's a good guy and can fight that isn't Kenshiro gets killed off.
These guys might not have been martial-artists and thus in the power-rankings of the series barely above mooks and were filler beside, but for a more relevant example how about FALCO?

Near Kenshiro-level badass shooting ki-beams all over the place, as soon as they get to Shura he gets killed by some nameless douchebag so he can't take more screentime away from Ken.

So that new Jump series from the guy who did Kongou Banchou. Not sure what to think of it yet. It seems interesting enough. And the Holy Knights are much more menacing villains than the honestly quite silly Banchous. Then again, that was also one of the charms of that series. I really love the art style, though. I fits so well. Reminds me of oldschool fantasy stuff like The Last Unicorn or D&D in the days of yore.

A while back I read the first three volumes of Oyasumi Punpun, and now I can't decide whether or not I should pick it back up and keep going.

I mean, it's one of the best written manga I've ever read. I also love dark comedies which Oyasumi Punpun excels at being, but . . .

That manga is fucking depressing, man. I've actually been feeling pretty good recently and don't want to ruin it. The whole reason I started reading it was because I kept hearing talk about how powerful and depressing it is and wanted to see for myself, since stories that manage to be both really funny and really sad are basically my favorite thing ever, but I ended up needing to take a break from it.

Anyone else here read it? What did you think?

Psycho Pass is the latest Gen Urobuchi production (Madoka, Fate Zero, Saya no Uta, Kikokugai etc), so if that entices you, go for it.

It still ticks me off that we finally got a Lupin the Third series that brings back the green jacket and actually resembles the original manga, and it focuses on Fujiko. Out of every character in the series, they choose to base the first Lupin series in years on the character whose personality is entirely HELLO I AM THE TITS.

And that's all there is to it, Fujiko's tits and being cockteased with actually interesting characters.

Except that they actually did flesh out her character. And she was pretty interesting. It was not a bad series at all. They should have just left out the Lupin III in the title altogether to fully embrace the spin-off character of the show and people wouldn't have had entirely different expectations and ended up disappointed.

The manga's pretty popular in Japan and comparisons made with Vinland Saga had me interested in it. I also heard positive things from the few people watching the anime. The problem I had with the anime was the godawful overused cgi animation. I cannot fathom any reason why they went with this direction with the animation besides the possibility that the animation studio has a low budget. The manga seemed to be the only way to go but at the time only a few volumes were translated and no scanlation groups seem interested in picking up. Thankfully its getting translated again.

Now of only somebody picked up Keyman. A manga unique in art and concept and then the scanlation group goes inactive immediately after 3 chapters. What a shame.
