This was literally the worst shit I've ever watched in my entire life. How could/why would anyone like it?

This was literally the worst shit I've ever watched in my entire life. How could/why would anyone like it?

what didn't you like about it?

That seems like an overstatement, it's more "middling" than "bad".

2 sentences isn't enough for successful bait. Put about 2 paragraphs of semi coherent rambling and maybe you'll get a few takers.

normie's first mecha

-The characters
-The FUCKING music (that row row fight the power is the worst piece of music I've ever had the misfortune of hearing, no exaggeration)
-The way that it was obviously made for 10 year olds
-The lameness of the scenes that are supposed to be "epic"
-The lameness of the entire story

I could go on

>normie
Normalfag's first post on Sup Forums

>newfag's first post on Sup Forums

oh, and the lameness of the dialogue.
There's NOTHING I like about it honestly
I rate it a solid 0/10
Oh wait, there is something actually. I liked the "believe in the me that believes in you" line. That's about it tho

(you)

not an argument

bait

You are supposed to watch it when you are around 12 user

I thought you were meant to watch it baked as fuck on Adult Swim

>the incredibly simple themes and messages of Gurren Lagann continue to go over the heads of all of the twelve-year-olds who think that the wacky mechs and lolsorandumb comedy are the only appeal of this show

>lolsorandumb
Imaishi isn't capable of anything else besides the pseudo-political strawmen he throws here and there in his works.

Congratulations OP you have shit tastes

Congratulations user, you either are breaking the 2nd rule, or you are a manchild.

Perhaps you just have shit taste.

>I watched over half of a series to figure out I didn't like it
Rap is a Man's Soul doesn't play until episode 16. Either OP is a drooling retard or this is some shit quality bait. Probably both.

Are you a girl?

...

Please do go on

>watching anime on adult swim
ISHYGDDT

Toonami is shit. AS should get rid of the whole concept and go back to when they were airing weird shit like Super Milk Chan and never advertise their stuff.

...

it's fun, faggot

Honestly I just gave this piece of shit on MAL a 2/10 because of the face that somehow I managed to finish it.

It's a very kiddy anime, people just like it because it's """"epic"""" and it shows that with willpower you can do anything you want (a topic that never ever has been mentioned in animes). I remember it also had plot holes, but well I can understand that people like to watch edgy things

I don't believe you. Your vocabulary is at the level of a 14 year old on youtube.

>MAL
>scoring
>"kiddy" as criticism
>strawmanning people who like things you don't for reasons you don't understand
>animes
>plotholefagging fucking Gurren Lagann
>calling Gurren Lagann edgy
Holy shit, what the fuck?

>Taking the bait

I don't give a fuck about memes. I fight memes with fights. Stay out of my way.

Why isn't this thread banned yet ?

Go back to your moeshit you mouth breather

So essentially there was nothing wrong with it other than "I don't like it because reasons"

MOOOOOOOODS

Mods want the truth to be spread

Not the worst shit I ever watched
I loved the first half
I hated the second half
Averages out to be pretty eh
Least favorite trigger show because I don't count kiznaiver

I believe it was made by Gainax but you can basically say there either twin or sister companies. Also I loved the 2nd half

Why are you even on Sup Forums

mods lock thread plS

what did you mean by this?

...

I dropped TTGL after the first episode, the big talking robots seemed childish to me.

Came back to it 2 years later and loved it.

Kill la kill is better,Gurren lagann however isn't terrible but it has its flaws.
>simon
>zimone

Anime similar to this? so I'll know what to avoid

(you): the thread

anything directed by Imaishit, he's literally capable of directing only one (1) anime.

>talk shit about reddit's favorite anime
>all the epic reddit memer's come out in full force with their epic bait memes
every time

It's not the big talking robots or stuff like that that is childish. The childish thing is the way they keep adding stupid names to the stupid drill and how it's supposed to be epic. The way he can't fucking beat anyone up until the last moment where he uses his "will power" to get stronger. It's the dumbest fucking shit ever. The action scenes are not enjoyable at all either, there's simply no fun factor to it, just stupidness. For comparison, I absolutely love SnK's action scenes.

>I can't like the same thing as normalfags
Fuck off hipster. As someone who was around when this aired and only occasionally browses now I'll never understand this sentiment. And don't feed me that bullshit line about how we have to keep the board pure. I bet the majority of you hadn't even heard of reddit when this aired.

It's for children. You're probably just over 18.

>Reddits favorite anime is also Sup Forumss favorite anime

Really makes you think

Your bait is weak.

>i am le oldfag
you don't need to try to fit in this hard to defend your fav anime bud but you really should lurk for 2 years before posting
>he browses Sup Forums
thank you for confirming you also frequent reddit

not an argument

Dropped it at episode 9. I just couldn't take it seriously and I really wasn't attached to the characters enough to continue watching.

You made the right choice, user. I decided finish it because a close friend was really into it and I wanted to see if it gets better. It actually gets fucking WORSE somehow

I'm not arguing, I'm pointing out that your bait is shit.

It's not a bait

...

I agree, you should just read Getter Robo

Does anyone have Rule Baiter, I looked though my bait folder and can't find it

do you even nip bro?
so it's not to your personal tastes? To answer your initial question i like it because i like everything that you said you don't like. the target audience isn't really important when it comes to enjoying a show anyway, but i'd say it wasn't made solely for 10 year olds.
I'll admit that the "row row fight the power" stuff was pretty shit, but i really liked the backing music so meh.

You're right.

TTGL would have been fine as a parody of super robots, but in the second half, it tried too hard to be a poor imitation of Getter Robo (Shin and Go) manga.

Spiral energy was just another code name for Getter rays.

Bait this bad is worse than posting Yotsuba guro.

Bait is redditspeak

that's Gae Bait though.

>TTGL is shit and has dumb action scenes
>i absolutely love SnK's action scenes
i think this pretty much sums up everyone who thinks gurren lagann is shit desu.
it's a fucking anime, it doesn't have to be serious.

>"This dumb show is made for 10 year olds!"

Instant tip off that you are under 18.
I would guess that you are a middle schooler who is trying to shed everything childish from his life to gain maturity.

No but the fight scenes were nothing to write home about, let's be fair.

I've seen a good deal of actual mecha and TTGL action are not well choreographed, and sometimes way too shaky for its own good.

does Sup Forums append desu to random strings of text?
sometimes i post shit and there's just a random "desu" at the end of the comment that i definitely didn't put there desu.

>random
You need to lurk more desu.

>it's a fucking anime, it doesn't have to be serious.
le turn your brain off!!1!1!!

>being this new

>implying every anime you watch and enjoy have to be serious, and contain convoluted plots with deep meaning to them.
motherfucking why?

Nowhere did I say that. Is this how mentally unhinged you are in defending this shit you imagine people saying shit

how would lurking help me figure out this shit.

it's obvious how new you are just stop posting

not new desu

>not new
>doesn't know t b h is filtered to desu
this happened like a year and a half ago you fucking retard you're not fooling anyone

baka desu senpai

hello Sup Forumseddit

when the anime itself takes itself that seriously, you can't help but take it seriously. Besides, it's garbage regardless of the level of seriousness of it. It's just not enjoyable to watch.

Whine, whine, whine

Daily reminder that japanese consider it atrocious shitty ripoff

They do? Sauce please

you new? When it takes itself seriously it's pretensious, and people make fun of it. The problem is that people who hare it generally are depressed sad sacks who hate anything uplifting because that's just childish. It's not a show to be taken seriously and that's why it does well, it's why most animes that don't take themselves seriously do so well. Go watch something depressing then, because in the end you are still watchin a Japanese cartoon.

Pre-teens enjoy it

Daily reminder you share a board with these people.

no they don't, they like grown up animes because they are grown up themselves.

>stop liking what I don't like

uses "lameness" as an actual critical piece of a show being subpar
you must be too young to be here

>all these fucking morons that don't understand that it was a coming of age story
>all these faggots that are treating it as a shitty mech anime when they don't understand that the mechs were only used to enhance the scene's meanings and act as a metaphor most of the time
Also for all the people calling it childish. The fear of not being able to like something because it is childish is childish in itself

All I care about are Yoko's yokos

Because it did it's job. It pulled out an emotional response with out being cheesy as fuck. Yeah the battles were over the top, but that's what the show was, a show about doing the impossible.
It especially worked for people who needed an underdog story who becomes top dog.

Drink bleach

he probably likes bleach too.

Thank fuck I'm not the only one.

>screaming louder will make us stronger!
>G-G-GOOD WRITING

>The fear of not being able to like something because it is childish is childish in itself
Do you really think that I think to myself and say oh, this is childish, I can't be liking this? No, I fucking don't. The process is like this: I don't like this, why don't I like this? It's because it's made for children, and children only. There are anime that can be appreciated by both children and adults alike (boku no hero academia, for a recent example), then there are anime that can only be appreciated ONLY by children OR adults. TTGL is an anime that can only be appreciated by children, and if you're not a child and you liked it, you're most likely mentally challenged or a pathetic manchild in the literal meaning of the word.
