Megane de Kimeyou - Gurren Lagann OST

[LongLiveLink3]

"Megane de Kimeyou - I'll Settle This with My Glasses"

ohhhh, you already HAVE, Kamina =u=

you already have

[KasaraEm13]

Heh, you know, listening to this without looking at the title or knowing where it was really from, I would swear it was from Code Geass. Funny since the guy who does Lelouch also does Rossiu.

[Minumer]

Rossiu was a sane person in an insane world, who was genre blind. Cry more.

[hexcrackerjtj]

at 2:47 I turn it down

[Voidspirits]

FOREHEAD ASS

[kajen17]

Rossiu could at least have let Simon have a proper defense attorney, rather than the least intelligent members of the Dai-Gurren-Dan.

[tenkashi1992]

@irockdudeoo7 if it was real life, id look it dead in the eye. even if i died, id know i went out without doubt in my heart, even if i was scared. and least i wouldnt regret the last thing i ever did.

[irockdudeoo7]

@tenkashi1992 Lol awesome. Fight the power, Brother!

[Acanaceous]

Rossiu knew the value of a contingency plan. Alas, in Gurren Lagann, contingency plans ring as tantamount to an admission of unforgivable cowardice.

[adept91]

@Acanaceous Considering he betrayed Simon (even though he himself piloted Gurren during the attack on Lordgenome), then left about 80% of the population to die after getting their hopes up, THEN trying to pussy out by killing himself, I think it's justified to call him weak.

[EbniusGaming]

@adept91 He thought of the people though thinking it was impossible to push back the moon, he just lacks belief. In one of the early episodes he evaded a lot of missiles and didn't do too bad inside of Gurren-Laggen

[adept91]

@EbniusGaming A religious character that lacks belief; I lol'd.

[Metalozedex]

this Is the best suspense sound ever

[C603032]

Rosio was cursed with comon sence in a universe fueled on hot bloodedness and cool. In the end it all worked out though...

[Zartemis]

@C603032 Rossiou also seemed to be cursed with having a moment of utter stupidity and dickishness.

[devildoll80s]

Can anybody tells me the title of the song at the end of ep.8??????when ev'rybody's crying??

[powerofdestiny]

If chuck Norris, Captain Falcon, And Kamina combined there signature attacks. It would cause the universe to be destroyed and remade for eternity.

[YuKaiCV]

@powerofdestiny damn straight

[PeanutButterGoodness]

@powerofdestiny

Roundhouse Giga Drill Punch?

[Sebansho]

@PeanutButterGoodness

It goes like PUNCH SWIRL SWIRL SWIRL BARRELROLL FACEPLANT WALL CRASH!

[dillan319]

@powerofdestiny simon can do that by himself

[aztec005]

can someone help me, im trying to find the one where they play the rock music durring a battle sene

[doomsmash123]

Try Nikopol

[hinkage]

This.

[thelimit69]

it isn't a probability actually, what I said before... every time Kamina got pumped up spiral energy ran through Gurren Lagann and gave it a strength it never had before. KAMINA FTW, SHIMON WAS GREAT, AWESOME, BLAHBLAH, BUT... He doesn't quiet cut it.

[SageVallant]

Someone else who doesn't get the trope. Kamina wasn't the one who did... well... anything. Simon was the power behind their every success. Kamina couldn't beat Viral alone, Simon does it more than once.

Simon was the one with the power, that's the whole point of the Cave-In story. Simon credits Kamina for getting everyone out alive, but Simon did the work. Kamina knows that Simon can do the impossible if he believes in himself, so Kamina MAKES him believe. They're a team.

[thelimit69]

kamina pwns viral twice as well lol,once not even transformed into gurren lagann, and I never said shimon didnt do anything, and you said it yourself, they are a team, if there hadnt been a kamina... oh boy...shimon the digger forever... and when I said "he doesn't quiet cut it" I meant as the protagonist, although looking back at it was out of topic, and by the way, lol, id love to see shimon saving the gai durren while being dead XDDD jk

[SageVallant]

@thelimit69

Kamina fends off Viral during the big assault, but doesn't exactly send him scurrying for help until Simon is there. Likewise for Viral's introductory episode; Simon's help is needed. Kamina is a mentor, not a hero. Though, he can claim credit for what Simon does eventually accomplish because Simon never would've so much as tried without his "bro".

Bromance: The Drill That Pierces The Heavens.

[thelimit69]

well there seems to be a problem, Kamina is the son of captain falcon and chuck norris :D

[ANDl23W]

PEE-SHAW. Chuck is Catholic (or some kind of Christian.... Too many GODDAM religions out thar...) and would therefore not sleep with a manly man such as the Captain.... However, there have been reports that before the end of WWII Japanese scientists spliced the genes of one such Captain Falcon and Chuck Norris to create the beloved Kamina....

AND THAT SHIT IS FACT 'CUS I FUCKING SAID SO.

C:

[thelimit69]

See? FINALLY SOMEONE SPEAKS WITH SOME SENSE HERE!

[aquabluesky]

Thank you for this. You made my day.

[thelimit69]

by the way if you think kamina isn't a hero, rewatch gurren lagann pl0x

[SageVallant]

@thelimit69

Of course he's a hero. In his own words, he wants to be someone who is worthy to follow Simon's back, though. He's the first one to say that Simon is the one who keeps saving his butt. So, on top of all the raw awesome, Kamina is actually very humble.

[thelimit69]

'course hes humble, hes Kamina man~ in hes not all that crazy, he reveals why he wants to fight in ep 7 to yoko, epic moment~ good times~ lol

and the way he tells shimon that "remember that my universe is your universe" that was an epic moment as well.

[badarbiter]

@thelimit69 Simon made a galaxy sized mech...

[thelimit69]

@badarbiter Kamina broke through dimensions after death and without a mecha for that matter.

[thelimit69]

@badarbiter I lol'd

[irinawolf]

This reminds me of Crying Yoko :'[ ;_;

[Kapa0Maki]

The one and only anime that perspire to inspire.

[SakazakiTwi]

Kanima is Simon's strength. Nit just inspiration. Even in death Kanima saves everyone...

"Who the hell do you think I am?!"

[d0mmari0]

whats the song called when kamina dies?

[joun1nkakash1]

how come i've never heard this song in the anime?

[ToughKillerWeasel]

In chapter 18 appears for the first time  ;D

[JagWar1752]

@ToughKillerWeasel what's the ost that's a piano version of this? i know its the background music for the sad version of row row fight the power, but at the end of episode 22, they have it just as an instrumental

[Chisai73]

I can see how everyone gets off saying that some of the characters are weak but really I think they all started off weak so that Kamina could build them up to the people they become at the very end. Plus we all have our strengths and weaknesses. I think Gurren Lagann is teaching that we just need to learn how to deal with them. Sometimes we need a little inspiration along the way.

[KayneArcheron]

you win at understanding the message behind Gurren Lagann. I know so many people who give up on it just because of what happens in episode 8... it's sad, really. Such a good series.

[Chisai73]

D:

That's atrocious!

27 episodes of badass manly galaxy throwing giant mechas with hugenormous drills and epic speeches how could they stop!? Those morons XD Kamina would be disappointed.

[KayneArcheron]

these are the same people that worship Bleach XD

[Chisai73]

Those dumbasses! XD

[SageVallant]

@Chisai73

They had no choice but to stop. They were hurling galaxies at each other like throwing stars. Also, you've pretty much capped the One-Up meter when you start turning moons & planets into giant mecha. There is nothing bigger to transform :(

[Ranzear]

I almost gave up at eight because it was so damn heartbreaking.

You just knew it wouldn't be the same without him for the remaining 19 episodes, but it was anything but 'less'.

[KayneArcheron]

I'm glad I related so much to Simon, or I probably would've done the same thing. Although, as sad as Kamina's death was, I was also intrigued by the fact that the creators actually had the balls to kill off such an important character, so it made me curious to see what else they had up their sleeves for the storyline.

[thelimit69]

and about the characters rant etc, rossiu is a pretty strong character in terms of depth etc, and lordgenome hes pretty... awesome, wish I could hear more of his past aside from the parallel works, Kamina... oh man, he really REALLY was irreplaceable.

what i said in my 2 comments may sound like retardedness but, idk i cant make myself clear today, somehow... XD

[thelimit69]

i saw somebody talking about mechas etc.. Im a big fan of mechas as well, if you guys wanna check out some cool looking mechas, check out Zone of the enders which is a game, the nirvash and theEND from eureka seven, evangelion... in my opinion those are the coolest looking mechas, but not realistic.

[ALDAL]

code geass

an anime about a duoche bag with a bird on hius eye, all the girls die for him and he does not do nothing, always talking about a world of peace and killing like a dog

gurren lagan

a history about a young man who fights againts the world he lkives and learn how to believe in himself and in his friends, learning a growing everyday without fear of the future

wich one can identify you?

[jayngfet0]

Is it bad I can identify with both descriptions?

[grthwllms]

Not really.

But not being able to understand either is pretty bad.

Which I can't.

Honestly, what did he just say?

[leeron111]

perphaps you would say that if you did see at least two episodes you hypicrtical bastard. also code geass tells us about why mankind is always at war, and also it teaches us the virtues we do out of kindess. but you probably didnt even see one episode so why bother debating with a douch bag like yourself

[gayhobbit]

calm down its just two anime to me their equal in their own right

[KayneArcheron]

Gurren Lagann.

You know, the GOOD one.

[Spaghettiiiiiiiiiiii]

Fucking Rossiu.

[zenkaze]

@Spaghettiiiiiiiiiiii Rossiu had his reasons, He knew he was wrong, but with what limited power and influence he had he decided to make a decision. Sure it was wrong, but in the end he was simply trying to save SOME people, much like the Spiral King before. Rossiu couldn't even live with himself after Simon broke out of jail, so after Simon basically proved him wrong, he went home to die.

[fairkid15]

I'm not gonna lie, I would watch TTGL 10 times over before CG. Not saying that it's a bad series, but I only made it through about 10 eps. From the get go it had problems with plot coherency. I tried to give it a chance... which is why I even made it to 10. If someone wants to convince me otherwise, than by all means go ahead.

I'm very willing to listen that wasn't sarcasm. Just please don't be jerks XD

[sagilian]

don't forget evangelion when you talk about TTGL. or perhaps Full Metal Panic or Gundum 00 (ish)

[juntao65]

There's a lota animes which do the fighting robot thing and end up just being a rip off of gundam. (Think FMP). I found TTGL to be unique in it's own way.

Just my 2 cents.

[V1P3Relite]

Anyone else notice the large character similarities between TTGL and Eva?

[jonharana]

Which is kinda okay since they're both Gainax and TTGL affectionately parodies several anime/mecha elements.

[dunsedog]

Was there large character similarities? I see the main character (btw I haven't finished NGE just yet), but most others appear unique in my opinion, especially when you look at them deeply.

[V1P3Relite]

Well i noticed the Shinji/Simon relationship, the hero who constantly doubts himself. And Yoko/Asuka, the personalities did differ, but they still retained some traits. Maybe the similarities aren't really that large. XD

[Demosthenes6666]

...Eh, Asuka was a much stronger character overall than Yoko, who was really cheesecake ninety percent of the time she was onscreen. But GL is basically targeted at testosterone pumped guys, so that's probably why it played all its female characters pretty weakly.

...Yeaaaaaah, I'm a fan, but GL is not a feminist series by any means. Yoko and Nia were both weak sauce.

[GamblerJustice]

What makes you say that Nia and Yoko were portrayed as weak? Nia particularly seemed quite strong to me. Hell, I think Rossiou was the only one of the main characters portrayed as weak in the series.

[Phoenixdragonfang]

would you be able to close your eyes and trust a person who you know resents you aims a sniper rifle at your face?

would you be able to fight giant robot faces day in and day out since you could fight?

i think not.

[Demosthenes6666]

Er.... Nia seemed more oblivious than anything else when Yoko pulled the shooting move. And yes, I COULD fight giant robot faces day in and day out. And whether a character can fight has nothing to do with their 'strength' or 'depth'. I say again, Nia and Yoko were surprisingly shallow, i.e. weak.

[Phoenixdragonfang]

I dont know what show you were watching,

but Yoko had plenty of depth during the entire show, her feelings for kamina, resentment of Nia, and her teacherness.

Nia however... well... i never paied all that much attention to her.

[robokill387]

@Demosthenes6666 no, nia was not oblivious, she says afterwards that she trusted yoko with her life.

[ToughKillerWeasel]

please dude, try to respect the other comments, even if you don't share his opinion (I'm included)

[jepordy3]

why because he tried to kill himself in the second half of the series?

[GamblerJustice]

Mostly that, yes, as if dying was a sufficient way to make up for past mistakes. But I also consider him weak for the fact that instead of trying to prepare and stand strong in the face of whatever was out there, he chose to rely on a vague statement made by the Spiral King and initiate the use of force against innocent people. A tyrant is never strong-minded.

[Javsco]

Third half. There's three.

[jepordy3]

whatever...

[BeyondLegacyFilms]

Actually, I think Rossiou is the 3rd strongest character in the series.

First being Kamina, and then Simon

[DeMangoz]

*cough* Simon is Stronger then Kamina, if you finished the anime you will see that...:)

[thelimit69]

obviously, shimon lived for over 9000 years, kamina died for his sake, kamina wouldve probably been stronger xP

[TeamStarsProduction]

@GamblerJustice Are you kidding me? He dodged Kittan's punches in one of the episodes with his eyes closed. He looked weaked because he always had to deal things in a logical way, and suffer the stress of protecting every single human since he was the face of the new government.

[GamblerJustice]

@TeamStarsProduction Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply to a year-old post. (I'm not being sarcastic, I like these kinds of blasts from the past).

Which episode are you talking about? I can't remember the scenario you're describing.

My reasons for saying Rossiou is weak are the choices he made post-timeskip. I did not find them logical nor indicative of a strong personality. Truth be told, though, I've completely forgotten what his motivations etc. were, so I can't really elaborate.

[TeamStarsProduction]

@GamblerJustice Geeezz uhhh I don't really remember what episode number it is...but it's the one where Simon gets sent to jail right after piloting Gurren Lagann with Kittan's sister in the cockpit filled with bombs. Kittan saw that he got pissed, walked up to Rossiou and swung around a couple of times. Rossiou ended up dodging the punches without even trying. So as for Rossiou being weak I doubt it, he just had a different approach on handling things than Simon.

[AlucardHellsing97]

@TeamStarsProduction Rossiou was indeed weak...weak-minded. He didn't have the qualities of a leader nor the abilities of a fighter, he simply knew how to bob and weave, and maybe fight a little but he was useless most of the time in Gurren Lagann and in TTGL. Hence why Simon kept having to knock some sense into him-Just like when Rossiou tried to commit suicide...

[SmashBroDx]

@AlucardHellsing97

"He didn't have the qualities of a leader"

Bad call on Simon allowing him to be president at the end then, huh?

Nah, Rossiu was a sensible person living in a Sat morning cartoon, where stuff could be very much willed into existence.

[geraldbojangles]

@SmashBroDx Arguing over a childrens cartoon, oh you kids.

[jri94]

@geraldbojangles This is more than "a cartoon." Whatever you have to say about it is unnecessary and ignorant. Sure, it may be an animated series with voice overs of real people, but the story and the characters themselves mean more than that. Putting it all together can prove to provide an impact that one never expected. If you see it as merely another television show then fine, but it is your own ignorance that permits you to look down upon us who see it for so much more.

[bandithunter1]

@jri94 wow well put

[GamblerJustice]

@TeamStarsProduction If you were to elaborate on why you think he's a strong (or not weak, at least) it might jog my memory, then perhaps I'll be able to give you a better response.

[ShadowPhoenix951]

@GamblerJustice I don't think Rossiou was portrayed as weak. To do what he did during the anti-spiral attack, while it didn't show much strength on a physical level, showed tremendous strength at an emotional level. Sure, his choices were misguided, but that doesn't make them weak.

[Bladesman185]

@GamblerJustice pardon the french: Rossiu is a pussy.

[poggg]

Simon was like Shinji for the three or however many episodes during which he was depressed. Beyond that, I can't see any similarities between the two.

[JumpManOmega]

Used for more than the Spiral King's Defeat, this is also for some of Simon's really emo scenes after [SPOILER] died. That whole arc was destroying the taint of wangst that Eva had brought. And the epic began!

[ALDAL]

listen man

code geass is for pussies and fan girls

gurren lagann is for men!

[FrogHats]

i <3 you

everyone in Code Geass look so gay

+ the plot sucks dick

[leeron111]

hey code geass is very succesfull stroywise and actionwise. but yeah i do prefer gurren laggan over code geass for its action and how theres always something funny.

[tickerz]

i cant stand the style code geass is drawn in

i want to snap them all in half

[KayneArcheron]

same; the designs are so generic it makes my brain numb.

[KayneArcheron]

I meant the designs for Code Geass btw, not Gurren Lagann.

[xplson]

They are alright in my. Code Geass mechas are supposed to be somewhat realistic.

[KayneArcheron]

yeah, I can see that. I was aiming more for the actual character designs, but the mechs for both were pretty cool, though TTGL still wins me over for the more organic look to the mechs

[FulgorKLR]

GL FTW!

[sasukekun4]

They're both awesome series. But it depends on what you like, TTGL is all about epicness and GAR, CG focuses more on suspense and drama. I love em' both. Probably the only power in the universe that could evenly faceTengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is Spinzaku!

Also, yes the beginning does sound like CG.

[narutolrd]

Indeed but for me I've re-watched CG and it got pretty boring and Gurren Lagann... I never get tired of it xD

[starlite2021]

CG got nothing on Lagann

[corin12355]

hear hear :D

[reaxsan]

why the thumbs down? code geass has a decent soundtrack. but, yes, the beginning does sound a bit like cg. i still prefer ttgl's soundtrack to any other anime, though. amazing song!

[WeasleyOurKing]

Sounds like something on Code Geass.

[Memphismastermind]

When was this song played, again? Post timeskip, right?

[reyke]

right after spiral king is defeated
