Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

Kamina is a deity... he basically decides something he does will have some kind of effect and it happens.
This series has really surprised me. It looked like a really generic mecha, but despite the fairly simplistic art, it has a really stylized look that really makes it stand out. In episode 3, where Kamina fights the beast man leader, first off, the katana takes forever to draw out of the sheath, really bringing up the tension.
Then, when he slices all the blades of grass and they just hang for a second before blowing away into the wind. It was such a simple, sometime overdone effect, but for some reason, it really just blew me away.
When Kamina smashed the Lagann into the top of his Gurren, and the drill was sticking out into his cockpit, I just started to laugh. I muttered, "What a moron," right before the beast-guy did.
That, and the hippo-thing getting shot in the forehead. I watched it like 5 times.
EDIT: It's the little details that make the series. Kamina's V-shaped sunglasses, straight out of any dated series from the 80's or early 90's, Yoko's tiny Skull hairpin, Simon...well, being a worthless coward.
Simon's never going to get any punani at this rate.
Did you guy missed the opening sequence of the series? Simon is going to become some badass character.
Oh you mean the sequence in Episode 1? Heh I brushed it off, and thought that it was Kamina due to his height. But after rewatching it, yeah that's definetely Simon. However, i don't know if we'll ever see him like that by the end of the series. Maybe it's an end-all be-all pinnacle flash-forward.Originally Posted by Munsu
Yeah, but that's when I get the feeling, "He's only going to become that way because Kamina died, and Simon stepped up in his place." That's what I get for watching so many GAINAX series, a horrible case of pessimism.
Oh no doubt, I have a feeling Kamina will also die... That's why people have to go beyond first impressions of the series, I think it'll have plenty of plot twists, emotional moments, and it can even become an epic series.
