ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

That they finally decided to kill off that awful character? Hard to believe I know.

For all my love of TTGL, that scene is straight up a "sad for the sake of being sad" ending
>>135433949
I hated this ending. They could've given him a happy ending but nope.
>literally rewatching the series now
It's complete bullshit and all the fans know it. But lolGainax, gotta have a bittersweet ending.
>>135433994
>>135433949
They needed something to show Simon and the gang could resist the temptation to use spiral power poorly. That's how I see her death. Bringing her back would have put them down the road toward Spiral Nemesis.
>>135434172
On the other hand, they could have done that with the other members of Team Dai-Gurren who already died.
Yes, it won't hit as hard as Nia, but at least we'd have a happy ending.
>>135434172
>implying they needed to bring her back
>implying they didn't just need to stabilize her body with new, non-antispiral matter
>implying they don't create matter left, right, and fucking center throughout the series
>implying a single human body is even the size of one fucking Giga Drill
>>135434267
It's about the principle. If you're willing to save one life with Spiral Power, how can you deny that to everyone else?
>>135434267
>>135434336
People also need to remember that Nia herself didn't want to be saved via Spiral power.
>>135434385
Nia is a dumb bitch.
>>135434397
But it's her choice. It's the same way people who prefer to stay underground should be given the option to do so.
>>135434267
That's the point though. When you make the decision that you're going to use spiral power to prevent a person's death, whatever the means, that sets a precedent for everyone else.
>>135434261
I don't think you should care what emotion an ending evokes as much as the execution of its ideas. If there's anything to dislike about the ending is that it wasn't foreshadowed soon enough.
>>135433945
The whole point of antispiral shenenigans was to prevent the spiral creatures from evolving into something that can destroy time, cause and the whole universe.
Simon and Nia coped with their unavoidable destiny by their choice. Simon the Digger couldn't be a good politician so he did what he was good at - digging wells all around the world so people could plant flowers everywhere just like Nia wanted.
>>135434397
Nia is probably smarter than you.
I will never understand why everyone hates the ending so much. Simon turning into a "hobo" and the rest seems to fit perfectly. He never took up the task of being a leader for the glory of it. Now that he no longer needs to be a leader, he can return to being a digger.
Or something like that. I just could not ask for a better ending.
at least they fucked liked rabbits before she turned into space dust.
I wish they would have stuck with their original story path so we would have gotten the Garlock ending.
Why are we talking about shit characters like Nia when we could be discussing the best character in the show?
>fights Gunmen on foot/dogback with ghetto bombs
>tries his best to lead when Simon cries in a corner
>willing to step down when it's evident a better leader exists
>fights a fucking Mugann on foot with a pump-action shotgun
>alpha as fuck, makes out with Yoko
>one of only three characters to manage a Giga Drill Break, one of only two to manage on his own power, WHILE inside a Spiral Power-draining field
>sacrifices himself so Simon can save his bitch and get laid
>fucking awesome eyebrows
>godlike genes, three hot sisters
A man this based could not survive until the end. Half as long, twice as bright.
>>135434551
Instead of being a hobo, he could have retired to a happy family with Nia, and go on random travels together to dig wells to plant flowers, watching the progress of humanity from afar, while still keeping in touch with his friends (Yoko/Leeron/Dayakka) every now and then.
>>135434650
>one of only two to manage on his own power
Mild nit-picking - he used Simon's broken Giga Drill as a base.
Also unlike Kamina he doesn't have ridiculous charisma and earns all the respect he gets via his actions alone.
>>135434729
That's just cause King Kittan didn't have the ability to produce drills, not being integrated with Lagann. The power all came from him.
>>135434804
True.
Also I'm surprised that made it into the SRW games (albeit used in a much less impactful fashion)
>Nia, I’ll never forget you. Even if the universe ends.
>Don’t be silly. It won’t end.
Damn something always getting in my eye
>>135434551
Who knows. I liked the movie better since he was actually doing something besides just being a vagabond

>>135435336
The movie doesn't contradict the original ending, it just shows what he was doing during that time.
I quite liked Simon going off to become Obiwan Kenobi
>>135434551
I loved the ending but I guess people might have felt it didn't give enough closure or something.
>Simon giving his Core Drill to that worthless turd Gimmy
Even Darry was a better pilot. All Gimmy ever did was fuck up and fap to his hot sister being plowed by Attenborough.
Anybody know what this is about?

Reminder Rossiu had the best ending.
>>135434551
They knew all along that she's gonna die, and they still didn't do anything.
The otherwise fairly valid point that no one should bring back dead people feel like a load of bullshit because they are using as reason to basically kill her off there.
>>135436430
Reminder Rossiu lied, and people died.
>>135436020
Which doujin is that anon?
>>135436482
Actually people died, then Rossiu lied.
Is Simon immortal now?
You know, because one of his eyes is now like Lord Genoma's.
I sincerily hope no tho. Thinking that at some point he's going to die and reunite with Nia, Kamina and all his friends was the only thing that helped me cope with that goddamn ending.
>>135436542
>Implying there's an afterlife
Also it's unclear where this theory of spiral-eye = immortal comes from. Our single data point is Lordgenome, who's already separately known to be a genius geneticist and who already has power over mortality (including giving immortality to Viral, who at that point had no spiral power). In other words, his immortality, as far as we know, is entirely unrelated to spiral power.
>>135434336
Didn't they do that a whole bunch though? Like the entire first half of the show?
What it really comes down to is the usual 'death is inevitable, natural and we shouldn't go against that' malarky.
>>135436719
They didn't go around reviving people. (Also they had no idea what spiral power was in the first half).
Basically Simon and Nia both don't want to set a precedent of using Spiral power in that manner. Note that they never say that they would stop others from using Spiral power to revive people, just that they don't want to do it for themselves, which is their own choice.
>>135436707

Many *HERE*, sorry for the typo, I'm listening to super eurobeat and playing need for speed between posts.
If enough Spiral Power was to be generated, all Spiral lifeforms in the universe would eventually start evolving into full-sized galaxies. The sudden imbalance of mass in the universe would lead to these mega-galaxies devouring each other, forming a black hole which would consume the entire universe.
>>135437390
>implying that's anybody's limitation but your own
>>135434551
One of his childhood friends, girlfriend and eventual wife died. The hobo thing is fine, but it's not exactly a great ending for him there.
>>135437533
>Nia and SImon had sex out of wedlock
d-disgusting
>>135437390
I always thought that spiral power was just a way to turn existing energy into mass and not just creating things out of thin air.
>>135437520
>implying you don't use your Spiral power for your own selfish desires and grow drunk on it
>implying you have will, resolve, or reason
TTGL felt much more entertaining to me after watching Gunbuster

There is a very damn good reason why we shouldn't play God, anon. Look what's already happened as a result.

>to pass knowledge (genetic or literal) to something else.
All creatures want partners or children/students at some point in their lives.
Of course Viral wanted a child and wife.
Of course it's like most Anons.
Even the loneliest monk eventually has a visitor.
I want to rape Nia.
>>135436719
>What it really comes down to is the usual 'death is inevitable, natural and we shouldn't go against that' malarky.
Did you miss the part where abusing spiral power would literally cause a supermassive black hole to destroy the universe? What the fuck?
>>135437956
She was still cute for the very first episode of the post-timeskip. Come on, you can't say the whole marriage misunderstanding wasn't cute.
Here's a Nia wallpaper for you guys

So how did Simon not turn into a galaxy? The fucker alone does more than the rest of the gurren team combined
>>135433837
I'm still mad too, fuck you GAINAX.
>>135438220
That's not playing God. Playing God is when we get it in our heads that nature is our bitch, that we can control it perfectly, and there will be no unforeseen consequences for our actions.
>>135438282
Yeah, I thought that ending was cheap too. I wonder if they're going to fix it in the upcoming new season.
>>135438242
False
Simon is a Catalyst, much like his big brother was a spiritual charismatic leader with all his "believe in me" spouts.
Simon's ability is to take that hope and energy from other people and actually use it.
It's no different than Goku's spirit bomb where he borrows all the energy from the planet and life forms.
Without the other characters and all their hope/willpower he would not be powerful at all.
Also Boota is the real hero.
>>135438054
>still implying that's anybody's limitation but your own

Nature isn't our bitch yet, but it will be. We constantly get better at making thing the way we want them, and we're already pretty damn good at it.
