    48:30 Gurren Lagann was actually the directorial debut of Hiroyuki Imaishi, who also directed Kill la Kill at Studio Trigger, among other things like Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Promare, Panty & Stocking, and directed an ep of FLCL. Dude's a legend with a very distinct style. He's on all kinds of Gainax and Trigger works

    His dad didn't abandon him. He invited Kamina, but Kamina hesitated and stepped back. Kamina regretted it, and he vowed never to step back from anything again. That explains his headstrong demeanor.

      Even better is that, the one time he stepped back in his life, it saved his life.
      Which is why he always talks about how Simone is the only reason he's alive. Because Simone will step back when its rational.

    "His dick is the drill." It sums up the series very well, lol!
    My only gripe with the Dub is when they call Simon "Sea-mon," though in Japanese it's "She-moan" so there's really no winning. His name is Simon, both languages are able to pronounce it perfectly fine!

    In Japanese gun is mispronounced as "gan" so while the robot name can be localized as "Gunmen" it's actually said "Ganmen" in Japanese and it is a pun because Ganmen ( 顔面 ) also means face or visage in Japanese.

      @@Hagosha yeah i know.....i dont mean to, im just annoyed that most reactors are to the sub* and half of those reactors only watch it that way because the army of sub only commenters make them feel like they have to in order to get more views and likes and less mean comments
      i do 100% believe however that the dubs sentence structure and wording is way better suited for native english speakers, and the only way i recommend watching anime in sub is when the dub is REALLY bad with the voice actors
      but most of the time, i find the english voices to be either better, on par, or a little worse the japanese, but never worse enough to justify reading a poorly worded sentence and less impactful speeches that i ALWAYS seem to get in the subs
      if they just fire whoever tf keeps ruining the subs subtitles, and hire the people that make the scripts for the dub to do the subs subtitles, then i would have zero issue tbh
      but whoever translates the sub into english subtitles, to me, feels like they are using barebones english or google translate...or better yet, they sound like how an AI sounds when it speaks....WAY too proper and not realistic enough for me whatsoever
      but what i found is, people that swear by the sub usually care mainly about voices, and the people that swear by the dub usually dont mind either voice, but cant stand the way the sub is worded when they read the subtitles

      @@darkgenesis342 well i have, plenty of people agree with me that the actual words spoken can sometimes be the most important thing, and that's something the sub and sub do differently all the time
      as long as the sub or the dub voice actors aren't THAT bad compared to the other, the words spoken can be a make or break for good dialog....like a line from another anime...someone is giving a speech, and they exclaim, "No, they weren't!" in the sub, but in the dub they say "They were not!"....now this is just a 3 word sentence, but the impact and delivery of the line are 1000% different when reading them both in english
      and no matter how good the subs voice actors are, in the end, every single one of us that doesnt speak fluent japanese is understanding the anime based off of the english subtitles
      what point of this is a "hot take" to you....i mean, you could try muting the sub and see for yourself how bad the subtitles can be in the sub versions of anime when reading as an english speaker....or you can trying watching an anime in japanese sub with the subtitles off like they do it in japan....a brand NEW anime you havent seen before...just to show the importance of good english dialog in a japanese sub of an anime
