When Jack took Piggy's glasses, Piggy turned to that son-of-a-bitch and shouted, "who the hell do you think I am?" Which in response, a rock liberated Piggy's now soul, showered in greatness, from his pathetic, mortal body.

so much unnecessary conflict between the nge and ttgl fandoms. i love gurren lagann, it changed my view on life, so i'm sure i could be considered a fanboy. rebuild of evangelion 2.0 was played in theatres here in canada tonight, and i watched it. it was terrifying and wonderful, and i am seriously interested in seeing the rest of the series. i think it's healthy to appreciate the awesome and good, and the dark and disturbing. that's what true beauty and humanity is all about. /srs bsns :P
Say it the MANLY way please, that's one thing I never got about subs that people claim was "so gracious".
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM... KIIIICK!" better because it flat out sounds more awesome/funny and it relates to the same line.
"HANDS OFF MY LITTLE BROTHER PUNCH!!!" That one sounds way better, because its not only showing how protective Kamina is of Simon, it doesn't sound like he's merely addressing the machine that Simon pilots, its a sign of faith and acknowledgement.
I get it why you said it's a mindscrew because it relies on symbolism so much that the immediate response is "What the heck was that?" Example-It involves a giant robot being transformed into the tree of life by a set of nine other giant robots and a huge tuning fork, then getting plunged into the vagina-forehead of a giant alien who has taken on the form of the male lead's mother's clone. This is to save the world. Apparently.
Well he saved everybody by rejecting the Human Instrumentality Project, the one who destroyed the world is Seele and its Human Instrumentality Project also called 3rd Impact.
The Human Instrumentality Project is Seele's secret goal: the forced evolution of humanity through bringing about Third Impact under their own control. As a result, all Lilin souls would be gathered into Lilith's Egg and united as one being.
This would create an existence where nobody existed singularly, but merely as part of the whole. In Instrumentality, the flaws in every living being would be complemented by the strengths in others, thus erasing the insecurities in people's hearts.
@Zero4ph Let's not forget that the giant robot is not a giant robot and it's questionable as to whether or not the other nine giant robots are robots.
Mp Evas are cyborgs like the Eva units unlike the Evas they all been furnished with S2 Engines, eliminating the need for umbilical cables or internal batteries.
Okay man sorry about that,I'm not obsess with NGE I just like it, also I did watch TTGL when Animax aired it here in the Philippines and I love it I got sad when Nia is gone at the end, I love FLCL too Haruko and Naota, yup Gainax FTW!
Kamina is ashamed of you, you foolish little person. One cannot serve the true Lord and the False Lord at once. The Dark one will be consumed in the eternal hellfire of FIGHTING SPIRIT!
And there's a problem with that? NGE is a disturbing picture of the deepest deapths humanity can fall to. I've seen NGE, and was amazed that it ever made it to the market. It's terrifying, depressing, and disturbing. The mechs weren't really mechs, the characters were ALL HORRIBLY MESSED UP, the ending made no sense, and the entire series was, as I said, terrifying, depressing, and disturbing to watch. Anyone who ENJOYS being MIND RAPED by a show needs serious help.
Oh I get it in short you didn't understand any of it well too bad man NGE is not for you now I know why you guys flame me every time I said NGE in this comment maybe you guys really just watch TTGL fanboy
what is there to understand about mind rape? The show isn't fun to watch. If a show makes you think the real world is a better place to live than the show would be, its not doing its job.
The real world is depressing. If a work of fiction is EVEN MORE depressing, it fails at the basic concept of entertainment.
No man you fail that's why I said NGE is not for you besides whats to confuse about it Shinji clearly Reject Human Instrumentality Project he chose Reality over Fantasy if thats still not clear to you watch EoE maybe you'll finally understand it.
What you mean neither exist? I know they both made by Gainax but just different director Hiroyuki Imaishi (TTGL) and Hideaki Anno (NGE) besides Hideaki Anno got depress too when his mother died so he applied it to Shinji also have you heard Rebuild of Evangelion I'm sure Hideaki Anno will redeem himself there so THINK also before you flame.
You still haven't answered what is fun about being mind raped. Just saying "its not for me" doesn't mean the series makes sense.
Shinji rejecting the HIP was the right choice, but the fact that there was that choice at all is horrid. The one thing BEST about humanity is its individuality, and the fact there was a plan to destroy that in NGE is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen. I would also apreciate not being insulted over my views. please answer my question first.
@ZeranEmpire i agree evangelion was a disturbing series and half of it made no sence what so ever but keep in mind that its a "WTF! just happened" anime and its not ment to make sence and if some is smart enough to figure it out "cough cough wikipedia" good for them
dude, Gurren Lagann's symbolism actually means something, the drill symbolizes not only the genetic spiral and the universal spiral, but the logarithmic spiral as well. All the "symbols" in Eva are just random references to the Bible with no real connection to eachother. And besides, TTGL is infinetely more epic than Eva
lol, that's why i had such high expectations for when I actually saw the show, but it's one of those things where I'll never understand why it's so popular
i think partly because all of the characters were so incredible fucked up in the head and thus easier to relate to than cliche optimistic hero types who power up vs bad guys and win using love friendship and all that bs.
ya true, but just relating to a character isn't enough to make them a good character, after you relate to them, they need to distinguish themselves, become more than just a "relatable character." If no real ideas or symbols back the character then their purpose in the storyline is insignificant.
Indeed, first his goggles morph into Kamina's glasses, and then they turn into 5-edge sunglasses. Followed by his robot getting 6-edge boomerang glasses.
True, but whole story was for Simon to be Simon and no one else. Episode 25-27 he gets like his own pair of shade inspired by both Kamina and Kittan ;D

when did kittan ever, EVER have shades
tv16bit 2 years ago
Kittan NEVER had shades.
Simons' shades during the last episodes were symbolic of both Kamina and Kittan;
Kamina being the original V-shaped glasses
Kittan being the new tri-shaped glasses.
Which means Simon has taken ideals of both Kamina and Kittan thus the combo star-glasses.
