im not complaining but i always love at the beggining of shows b4 the characters truly devolop like kamina leader yoko titty lady with the sniper simon the scaredy cat who in the end always managed to pull through. also maybe u guys seen it already and it happens later but what happened to simon finding yoko atractive. I luv this show plz im not trying to troll in anyways
The death of Kamina was needed for the story to become stronger. Kamina is in the mentor role of the story, even though we loved the characdter the mentor has to die in order for the student to grow. If Kamina didn't die in the series Simon would have never been able to become the person he ended up becoming. The only way he could truly be the man he became was to lose Kamina as a crutch.
@YourComputer1x1 Fanservice is a manga/anime artists way of keeping grip of you through a show, I.E. Explosions, comedy that applies to you, and most commonly, sexual themes. In other words, Yoko is both a full character and the definition on fanservice.
It isnt like the other mainstream anime. Although Bleach and Naruto do have their moments. Gurren Lagann with a few other animes have a moment throughout every episode!. If you liked this anime.. i recommend watching: AngelBeats! Another great anime with a similar concept.. but the concept is more about the after life. A few episodes.. 13 to be exact, but the best 13 episodes ever. Gurren Lagann and AngelBeats! will forever be in my heart!
i thought this would be just another regular old anime ex: YOU KILLED MY FRIEND #!%@! NOW YOU WILL DIE *fights through enemies* TWIST I AM YOUR FRIEND (what?)
But this is something else it has more of an original story line kudos to the writers of this series
@Lushimi1(MAJOR SPOILERS, not really) It still has that though, as later Lordgenome(indirectly responsible for Kamina's death) will become one of Simon's greatest allies, kind of a father figure.(another Lordgenome/Darth Vader comparison)
@chaddrick I can understand that, but for me personally i just wish he was around longer, I wish this whole show could have lasted a little longer but then again i would hate for it to fall into the same trap other anime fall into and pad it with filler or make fights last longer than needed. So, I can see it both ways I suppose.
@chaddrick I think the reason this and Cowboy Bebop are two of the animes I could see myself putting on my top list is because they take risks with killing characters like that and not a single episode is filler. Both animes are fairly short so it doesn't have one wishing for it get it over with already.
ok here is my possible conversation with this shows producer: Me:SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE KAMINA! Producer:But... he died... Me:Bring him back to life for yoko.... and the fan girls
Does anyone know what the song is that starts at 20:13? I looked all over the OST and couldn't find it but its one of my favorites. A link or title would be greatly appreciated!
Awesome anime!!! there should be more like this - the characters, their designs personalities, story line EVERYTHING about it is awesome!!!!~! Wish Kamina didn't die he was fucking awesome - the best anime character EVER!!
They should totally continue with a new series. Something a long the lines of this. Maybe there adventures after they destroy the anti spiral. And maybe they could fight some like followers of the anti sprial or some shit. I just want to watch some more gurren lagann...
To those who think kamina should have died later or not at all, you have to understand that kamina was never ment to stick around he was only ment to inspire simon to do what he was ment to do, if kamina lived...welll theyed be fucked later on towards the end, but dont moran over kaminas death he died a manly death, in the line of battle!
All this made me do was miss kamina and all he does is remind me of hues damn aniplex its there fault some guy has a kill important good characters thing going somebody needs to incest there foot in his ass to make him think not cool dudenot cool. RIP Hues and Kamina
@Crakization It does if you don't know what the f--k they're saying. And we don't know what the f--k that kid is saying. So it does matter in this case. Hell, the only way I would excuse someone for having mediocre English is if English isn't their first language. But this dude knows English, it's just that he's either nine years of age (and even THAT isn't much of an excuse) or he's fucking lazy and idiotic. And I go with the latter.
@sguerrero077 For a reason. They're important partially because they leave a lasting impact in their death. That's what NOBODY but a few people seem to understand.
Skip this episode for all those watching, its a waste of time.
