Are you ready for the second coming a year from now, /m/?
I'll board the hype train, why not.
>>14171208
So you're saying Old Simon shows up?
Because if it's Darry at the controls then fuck that.
If it's another super robot show by the same staff, sure why not. On the other hand, an actual Gurren Lagann sequel would suck and and I was glad when they revealed that the big announcement was Pachinko.
>>14171224
It's probably just an spiritual follow-up rather than actual sequel.
>>14171208
>second coming
Actually, it already sort of did.
>>14171232
I'd want this anyway. TTGL ended in a pretty satisfying way all things considered.
>>14171208
>a new series by Hiroyuki Imaishi and that it is a must-watch for Gurren Lagann fans
Yeah, because it went so well the last time they said that.
>>14171208
I hope it's a spiral war prequel about Genome or Boota
>>14171248
They specifically said Gurren Lagann at the con, not KLK or PSG.
>>14171248

>>14171266

Welp
>>14171275
They also said it wasn't not happening.
>>14171275
They also said they don't rule out PSG S2, though. Twice. Once it was said by Koyama and once it was said by Wakabayashi.

So how do you guys think it'll distinguish itself from GL? If they say it should please GL fans, then I'm guessing it's the same kind of cartoonish, high energy "fuck logic" style that's in a lot of Imaishi stuff.
I guess we can at least assume the main weapon won't be a drill again.

Where the fuck do even go after the first one
Kind of wish that perhaps they will make a anime sequel to Gridman, based on some of those segments from the Gridman short which showed animated scenes based on the live-action as well as seeing Gridman Sigma. Or perhaps even a reboot or sequel to the 1990's Seven Star Fighting God Guyferd
>>14171842
>wanting tokushit instead of something with actual giant robots
>>14171842
>Or perhaps even a reboot or sequel to the 1990's Seven Star Fighting God Guyferd
One of my favorite things about Guyferd is the "GUYFAAAAAARD" heard during the OP.
But it's not in the song itself...
>>14171208
Shame that pretty illustration doesn't save those mechanical designs from being complete and total ass.
>>14171817
It's not gonna be related to GL at all since Trigger does not have the rights to it. Gainax is still holding onto that one along with Konami and making pachinko games.
>>14171899
Gainax have the PSG rights too don't they? So it'll be a spiritual sequel to GL, but not an actual sequel. Which is just as well really, since the original doesn't need a sequel and has no place to really go with one.
>>14171904
Shame it won't be /m/, even though people will likely try to force it here
>>14171912
I'm 99% sure it will be /m/. They even commented in interviews that they had to try hard as fuck to not turn KLK full /m/ because mecha is in their bones.
>>14171904
Well, whatever they do, I hope they're a little more inventive this time. Gurren Lagann had some cool designs, but it got tiresome seeing drills be practically the only weapon that mattered.

I hope the mech design will be good
>>14171248
It did, don't know if they can do something even better.
I have a feeling so far Trigger is hanging too much on Imaishi. I'd like to see something directed by Sushio or Yoshinari for example.
>>14173068
Yoshinari is also directing a show.
>>14171248
Actually it did. Kill la Kill was fairly popular and successful despite the "gratuitous fanservice" complaints that turned a lot of people off.
>>14171248Kill la Kill is legitimately superior to Gurren Lagann.
>>14171292
JUSTICE
>>14171292
It just got its first giant mech that's also a priate ship, though it's had transformations from the beginning. Pretty great so far.
It's going to break 4chan if they advertise it as Gurren Lagann's second coming.

The only trigger show I liked was inferno cop, the rest were poorly written messes (so was inferno cop but it was in a good way). I am very tired of their humour as well of something dumb happens and then someone freaks out that it is crazy for 5 minutes
They seem to have lost all that use to make them so good
>>14174306
"something dumb happens and then someone freaks out that it is crazy for 5 minutes" is all they ever had. If you don't like that, then Kiznaiver is more up your alley.

And they use to do it well, now not only is it getting old they've lost their timing and creativity.
The best they've got is hey guys remember those two shows we did >>14174291 ! You liked them! Also a space mom, you remember that time! Isn't it crazy everyone is acting so shocked! Oh but someone became a gun and then it did a big explosion, they are really getting creative
>>14174330
Given their shoestring budgets, can they even last past the 2010s?
>>14174336
They have a very loyal fanbase who believes they shit gold so probably
>>14174336
KLK was a relative hit and LWA made money. They also sell a load of merchandise. Their next show is sure to be big if they hit that Gurren Lagann nostalgia since Gurren Lagann was a big hit in both Japan and America.

>>14173621
Great to hear, what's it supposed to be?
>>14175563
Their budgets are pretty average, they're just pretty good at making use of them and prioritize animation and dynamic movement over art.
>>14177161
We don't know yet.
>>14174373
>Gurren Lagann was a big hit in both Japan and America
Was GL a big hit in Japan? I was under the impression it just did alright over there.
>>14174513
You enjoy jobbers?
>>14171208
I think it'd be cool if they made a Gurren Lagann series that was more like a gundam, aka, more space travel, war, less power levels, etc. Instead of trying to be bigger and better. I'd rather have another KlK though.
>>14175563
>they just like making their animation look like shit for some reason
That's an easy one. The reason is so that they can use cheap looking animation as part of their style and aesthetic.
I think Trigger intentionally made shorts like Inferno Cop and Ninja Slayer to get people to understand that they can make something entertaining without flashy animation. At the same time, people start to think "silly cheap looking animation = Trigger being silly/awesome". That way, when they need to cut corners in higher budget shows, they can go really cheap on the animation, and people will think "lol Trigger being Trigger" and they can get away with it.
One example I can think of is a scene in Kill la Kill where Ryuko is floating down the water in the sewer (I think it's episode 3?). I think it's only like one or two frames of animation, but nobody cared because people thought the bad animation was an homage to Inferno Cop's bad animation.
A Lord Genome prequel would be pretty cool then again we kind of got a sense of how he rose to power in the show. I'm curious to see if the Anti-Spirals warning about people abusing spiral power turned out correct though.

>>14171248
No matter how many people will try to defend this, it was bad, and not because of the fanservice. It was bad because the plot was trashy rather than flamboyant, the costume designs were boring and unimpressive despite being the focus, characters never developed or evolved significantly, the animation was painfully uneven rather than stylish and the ending episode was the worst of them all, with terrible pacing, plot and delivery.
By no means it's bad compared to every other show, and it has its good moments, but it never picks up to excellence, and actually falls apart near the end, with the last quarter of the show just dragging on without a really good reason for all the action.
Every time i see a Trigger show i weep for Gainax.

The writer showed a ton of the problems in TTGL weren't flukes when he repeated them in KLK. The show was okay for what it was, but was overhyped, which makes the many flaws of the show more apparent when people scream perfection.

I liked him the most when he was a head in a jar. I dig brain-in-a-jar advisors in general.
Kill la Kill's pacing, animation and plot were a complete fucking mess. How do people defend that shit.
TTGL was by no means perfect but its clear from the outset they have certain goalposts already written out. Going into space at the end, a rough idea of how Simon will look, Lord Genome etc.
And let's face it, the animation in Gurren Lagann at its worst is still pretty decent, at its best its phenomenal.
Compare it to KLK. They clearly have no idea what they want to do for most of the show. The plot meanders, goes back and forth, theres little plot development for large chunks of it. And its not as though the animation was outstanding during all of this. At times the animation in KLK was disgustingly bad. It was just still frames for entire episodes or poorly done CGI. By the end it was clear they had run their budget and what was left to make was a mess.
I don't even begin to comprehend how people can objectively think KLK is anywhere near on par with GL. Maybe you liked the characters in KLK more, fine. Maybe you liked the designs more, fine. Maybe you liked the music more, fine. But everything else was a fucking MESS. Shit animation, shit pacing, shit plot.
Do I want Trigger to be in charge of a spiritual successor to Gurren Lagann? Fuck no. Imaishi is great but Trigger has no budget and no one will give them money. A Gurren Lagann spiritual sequel should at least have good animation and have some overall direction. I suspect GAINAX was a big part of why GL succeeded apart from Nakashima and Imaishi.
Anything by trigger will just end up as a slideshow of pans over still pictures that have the same "plot" structure every episode. No thanks.

>TTGL was by no means perfect but its clear from the outset they have certain goalposts already written out
Because they were just aping Getter Robo and some other mecha.
>>14189634
Kill la Kill was fast paced nonsense but the plot was far from a mess, can you elaborate?
>>14171248
But KlK was actually decent, unlike babby's first mecha.
>>14189695
You can ape elements like robot design and themes like evolution but the plot itself and the animation can't be aped.
I'm not disagreeing that GL is basically just a homage show with elements taken from other shows but that doesn't mean it did it poorly.
>>14189766
Episodes 1-15. Nothing actually happens. About 2 or 3 of these episodes are used to introduce characters but otherwise the plot is at the same point from episode 2 as it is in episode 16. Senketsu gets destroyed then brought back to life an episode later. Really bad animation in the later half.
Episode 16. Finally some plot from here on out till the end. Important plot elements are introduced and the world is explain a bit.
Episode 17. Satsuki switches sides, because. Zero foreshadowing to this and makes the previous 16 episodes a waste of time and is mostly confusing.
18-24. Actual plot. Terrible animation. Literally pans over stills for large parts of it.
>>14190234

There aren't a lot of great mecha shows post 90s unless you're willing to accept a lot of shitty animation and CGI. If GL wasn't so popular you'd love it. But you need your hobby to be niche so you criticize anything popular and praise anything obscure. I mean yea sometimes the popular thing is the least thoughful or the least well developed. But sometimes its popular because its good. This same sort of wannabe-niche thing happens in every kind of medium

>French art house films are so much better than crap like the The Lord of the Rings. Movies shouldn't make sense they should confuse the audience so pretenious assholes like me can pretend to 'get it'
etc. /m/ likes to talk about more obscure shows like Shin Mazinger and Ideon as if they're so much better than anything popular like Gurren Lagann or Eureka Seven. But Shin Mazingers animation was a catastrophe by the end. Just watch the final episode. its a clip show. and Ideon (or anything by Tomino outside of a handful of shows) is a fucking mess. People on /m/ need it to be true because you guys spend all your time and lifes energy on it and the idea that someone could watch something popular like Gurren Lagann and have it be higher quality than some show you watched after being into mecha for 5000 hours, completely offends you. Its ridiculous. Get over it.
>>14190540
right and she destroyed Senketsu literally days before this happens because why? if Ryuuko could be an ally why destroy Ryuuko? and why spend so many episodes just harassing students that don't do anything later? It makes no sense.
>>14190569
She tells Ryuuko to her face that she only wants strong allies, so she's venting them.

I never said it did. TTGL is a stand out mecha series... until Imaishi ruined the story.

At least it wasn't as bad as Ninja Slayer. That was a fucking disaster.

Oh come on. While I do agree that KLK pales in comparison to TTGL, this point is not true at all. There were bit of scenes here and there in the early parts about how she wasn't happy with her mum being the ruler and all that shit.
