My name is Simon! Simon the nigger!

>My name is Simon! Simon the nigger!

How did they get away with this line?

They didn't. That's why anime died.

Raimi trip to japan really shows on this anime

>Listen up, Simon. Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes the rape of Nanking needs a sequel!

Was this a mistranslation or did he really say that in the original?

>GIGA. DRILL. NIGGER!
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea

you mean Semen the nigger

It was a different time.

>Go beyond and the impossible and kick white cops to the curb! That's how Team gurren rolls!

Um...

Chuckly chuckled

Is this the birth of a new meme?

>Your drill is the drill that will pierce the spinal column of every nigger loving kike in the heavens!

Was this really necessary? Is this why Kamina was killed off so soon?

>You sure shot a lot of cops, Kamina
>dem white pigs deserve it for killing ma homies they dindu nuffin

>"who the he'll do you think I am Nigga?"
Wow Raimi

It's NIGGA DRILL BREIKA

>So... this is the power of National Socialism...

>do you remember how many niggers you've hung in your life?
THOSE WERE THE DAYS

>new

Real talk, what was up with the first scene in the series? Why was that Simon so different? Why did that not happen later in the series? I kept waiting for it to be a thing, and evil Simon never happened. It was a good series but wtf

It's a failed meme from Sup Forums.

Always wanted to ask what's so offensive in the word "nigger"? I thought it came from Latin's "negro" that means black. What's so insulting about it?

Gainax changed stuff during the production.
The first scene was supposed to show where they were going, but it slightly changed.

It's a racial slur. Are you American?

>Do the impossible seek the invisible, row row go white power

Jesus

Actually it comes from a particular dialect of Spanish because of Caribbean presence in the south. Spanish is one of many languages derivative of Latin.

negro is fine
nigger's etymology is different and has an offensive context

Setting it to the tune of the German anthem was enough, but what does Gainax know about subtlety...

>it's self destructive
Pottery

>I'm positive, this guy has acquired abilities of the Nigger gundam
Man, at least the dub tried to be a little more sensitive about it

No, I'm slav.

Thanks

I kind of thought it did, just different. Weren't the number of enemies they faced as numerous as stars in the sky? Wasn't the idea basically that the entire universe was what they were fighting? Simon was never evil, not in the first scene or the ending.

>That part where Viral dreams about the good ol' days in the south but has to go back
>That dixie flag and blacks getting whipped in the background
What the hell Gainax

What race are Kamina and Simon?

Not White

Slavs speak English?

There are better ways to start a TTGL thread, you know.

Nope, just (You)

>Simon was never evil
I just call him evil Simon because that what he looks like at the beginning, without the context of the rest of the series. He looks like an insurgent evil dictator - which is ironic, considering what happened to Spiral King.
