Thanks for watching eveyone, I hope you enjoyed! Please also note that I wrote and edited these 2 videos back to back months ago, hence why I'm still talking about a mangaka in spite of being told there isn't one after releasing the first half. Thanks again and join my Patreon to show ya boi some love!
I hope you are doing the movies too! I think they are weaker with some important parts of the story but what they do with the final fight is worth it.
I tought I was ready to relive it all, I tought I couldnt cry. This anime is genuinely my favorite and for a good reason.
@@fernandogomezfischer948 We'll see what the patrons do
you should watch the 2 gurren lagan movies that condense the series. it might seem a bit rushed but they changed several of the fights and made the final battle even bigger
You should watch the movie. It's similar to the second half but with some really interesting changes. If you loved the anime the movie will blow you away.
No win for "MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVEN" ?
THIS ONE.
ngl easily deserving 3 wins 😭
I thought there was going to be a win for virals dream where he had a family. I absolutely adored that.
one job
It was too powerful for him to count in wins
@@jetpower6601 That moment is depressing, no, 0 wins there
It's super important to note, that you saying the animation quality stayed consistent throughout is why the team on this anime deserves ALLLLL the props. They actually ran out of budgeting before Episode 27. But they decided to push back the production, until they could get the budgeting to do the grandstand finale we ended up getting.
That being said, the two movies are basically them going back with the money they got with the anime, and touching up with some stellar scenes added. PRIMARILY, in the finale. Like, it honestly puts every thing else ever in existence to shame.
Loved the video!
i agree with the movie part, the final fight and the final form of gurren lagann was even more amazing and it still blows my mind every time i remember it
The 2nd movie is worth it's own win video
For anyone wondering, Simon carved the statue of kamina himself
Simon's speech before that last push to defeat the anti spirals deserves 3 wins
I'm kinda sad viral's alternate reality at 49:29 didn't get a win. I found it strangely heartwarming and sad knowing that he's never going to actually see that dream become reality since he doesn't have spiral energy
He has spiral energy he got trapped in the infinite Corridor Meaning he must be a spiral being now
Ye, he can’t even have a family even as an immortal being. Pretty tragic
@@maxwellkaufman4178 the infinite maze is said to trap those with inteligence, it has infinite spiral power, once SIMON absorb the maze, it might had share with the others, which would also grant them infinite spiral energy, with simon having a bigger infinite spiral energy than the others, so he might be able to have kids
I always assumed it was implied that Viral gained Spiral power during that dream. He gets a core drill, and during the final fight he manifests his swords for TTGL. if you take the movies into account he manifests his own Tengen Toppa mech that looks like enki
My friend : Describe the best moment in your life...
Me in 20 years who is also a father of 2:
CHOO TENGEN TOPPA GIGA DURILLUUUUU
BREAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
ORE NO DRILL WA, ORE NO TAMASHIIII
Very true and that’s why my children are named Gurren and Lagann
@@yoursteak5215 Wait, for real?
I absolutely love that part from the movie, but I feel like Simon's speech in the anime is more badass. I don't know why they changed the acting, but still it's like comparing badass speech x infinity to badass speech x infinity+1. I love Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
@@yoursteak5215 oh my god, if they ask why they're named that you show them the show, you sir a a genius in your own way
One of the things I've pointed out to myself after rewatching Gurren Lagann is why would they use CGI, though so far they've been doing great with their animation.
From the very first moment the antispirals appear on screen they stand out so much, you know that they are alien.
An IMO there isn't a better way to introduce something so inorganic and unalive in this otherwise chaotic, but organic world.
Exactly. Using the CGI to deliberately clash with the Artstyle makes you know from the offset that it's "different" and "wrong"
Well it’s actually cuz they started running out of budget, but I like your reasoning more
@@joetheturtle7768how DARE you assume they would EVER compromise because of a budget
They literally decided to release only a portion of the series instead of compromising on the budget
Its why the cgi looks so good because they never have and never will do such a thing known as *compromise*
One of the best shows ever. I really want to have an Everything GREAT about the Gurren Lagann Movies (Especially the second one).
Definitely. Gurren-hen and Lagann-hen are both worth checking out.
That final battle is 😤👌
I totally agree! Even right after the anime, the movies are worth watching!
The Second one is THE SHIT...wait imagine him reacting to the CHOOO TENGEN TOPPA GIGA DRILLUUUU BREAKUUUUU
and afte that, he should check out Promare, that thing is SICK!
46:24
AnimeWins: “This likely final transformation.”
Me: *laughs maniacally*
Fool! You have seen NOTHING yet! Who the hell do you think these crazy nuts are?!
Hahaha...you fool, I HAVE 70 ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS...shit wrong refrence
And not even THAT transformation was the final one!
No, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THW MOVIE FOR THE FINAL *FINAL* TRANSFORMATION
Oh so that’s where you find it
@@damienmcneff7715 which one? There's 2
The second one
36:34 “The symbolism and the nods to the past of GurrenLagann is exceptional”
...You have no idea how far it goes... narratively, production wise, historically within studio Gainax and the anime industry as a whole...
Reason why I love this video: ruclips.net/video/9iYyjOXrhnU/видео.html
I like that Simon has added a star to his outfit to represent Kittan
The curse of yoko. Every guy she falls for dies in the next episode.
That’s what I’ve been telling me friends who are watching the series. But still trying not to spoil it.
You
Only
Kiss
Once
Everything was great about this anime, from the music, to the narrative, to the characters, to the ending.
This is a must watch for a good reason.
Nah the stupid Nia bullshit at the very end just seemed like a cheap death for no real reason
its my favorite anime of all time.
@Tahj Pollock that reasoning could be aplied to everyone who diednin the final battle. Nia was a spiralmlifeform seeded with code from the anti sprials that highjacked her she wasnt just code the fact she faded was an asspull way to ring a bit more emotion from the last battle.
@Tahj Pollock ive seen it and i know whatnit said but whats said doesn't make sense given earlier ita started that the antispiral program had only overwritten her and not that she was solely antispiral code. One throw away line as she vanishes doesnt change the fact its a contrived death meant for emotional shock value
@Tahj Pollock a throwaway to justify an asinine asspull doesnt not preclude it being a stupid asspull. They arent mutually exclusive. And you are aware Gainax has a well know reputation for awful and nonsensical endings right?
Everyone is talking about the second movie final battle but no one is talking about the first movies Lordgenome backstory
bro also the four generals in the first movie, heck everything in the entire series
Which movie are you talking about? The parallel works?
@@reeda.2341 Gurren hen and lagann hen, though the first part of gurren hen is parallel works 8(I think) with voice over from the anti spiral with the end lord genome speaking as the spiral king
I would just like to enphasize that there is no mangaka for this anime. It's a totally original storyline with no manga that it's based off. The manga that does exist was made after this anime.
Great video, though! Misinformation happens at times, but I always appreciate the entertainment of your reactions to all these series.
Yeah he needs to re-edit this vid lol He also mispronounced names (which if he listened, the characters have said each other names about 100 times lol)
@@SilverFang95 Eh, it's a LOT of work to re-edit videos. It's easy to say he should, but I just hope he sees comments like mine so he can be better informed and by extension enjoy even further.
@@Animus_Altia yeah. I guess that what he gets for being so far ahead in terms of writing scripts for shows. He doesn't give himself the time to do more research. He's slipping slowly. I know it takes a lot but he never used to make mistakes like those.
@@Animus_Altia I guarantee that he has mistakes in the next show he does. I'll bet money on it.
Irony: Pointing out mistakes on a Wins vid.
No hate, but, why ya'll here tho?
No win for "MY WIFE IS THE BEST IN THE UNIVERSE SWING"?
SECOND HALF SHOWED US HOW A MAIN CHARACTER SHOULD DEVELOP CUZ BUDDY BECAME A MAD LAD BOSS MAN LIKE HIS OLDER BRO
Ah Gurren Lagann.. this anime, IMO, was and still is a masterpiece for me. The fact that it got me so hooked to the story and massive battles, it truly has a special place in me heart. Even after rewatching the anime a couple of times, you still feel like you’ve just discovered the anime and that pure joy, sadness and overall fun still feels great.
I loved TTGL for its realism of grief and depression. Grief for loosing Kamina, showing us slowly the 5 phases and letting us know its ok to not be ok and take time to heal from trauma. Showing you one of many ways you can fight and shout back at the monsters inside you without substance abuse/self harm. Spiral power being will/determination/drive/self-esteem/whatever and Anti-Spirals being intrusive thoughts "Its not good enough", "Im not special" (they LITERALLY say it to Nia), "you cant do that/anything". This is my go-to "I need a smile" show.
I always wondered why, after putting Gurren Lagann in my top 3 favorite anime, I never looked at it again after these 5 years. Only now, with these two videos, when at minute 53 I could no longer hold back tears seeing only pieces of this masterpiece and my lips started to tremble that I remembered why. I can't fill my room with tissue and a stream of happy-sad tears again like i did 5 years ago.
Also great Video.
I felt the same. Its crazy how many years it has been since i saw this anime and i still didnt forget any characters. Their development and conclusion still makes me tear up. This truely one of the few execptional animes that was ever produced.
It creates such a lasting impression that you don't need to rewatch it :>
One of my favorit thing about the end is a lesson with that.
They talk about simon using the spiral power to bring back nia.
...he actually never denies that he couldnt, implying that if he wanted he could bring her back.
But the whole lesson is that those in the past build the future for those left, and clinging to that past is not the right way.
It’s been years since I first saw this anime and I didn’t think I’d get so emotional but watching these shots again with your commentary had me sobbing since around the 41 minute mark well done my dude
Thanks ^^
A detail that you didn't point out but I figured would be worthy of a win is that the voice actor of Simon after the 20 year time skip is the narrator who does the "this is the tale of a man" speech at the beginning of the episodes.
crazy how a 2007´anime is better than 70% of the animes in 2020🥵 and i talk about scenario AND animation
The isekai craze is really screwing up a lot of writer creativity among anime studios nowadays tbh.
@@Pompadourius fax
the only thing close to this show epicness is promare
@@bandi642 Not fair, promare is just TTGL 2.
@@andresvelazquez5922 thats the reason why it is so good
If I remember right, the last 5 episodes of this anime used 40% of the entire shows budget.
You've gotta watch the movie on your own sometime. Or lookup the movie version of the the final battle, it truly ups the awesome factor of the scene.
Both endings are good but there's just something about finishing it with giga drill break that hits different.
@@zacharyritz9802 both end with a drill tho...
Want the dub version.
Honestly the fact that the team that made this and Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a testament in of itself to why anime with only one season are really in my eyes better than dragging out the storyline through several seasons.
The OP for the "second half" isn't exactly the same song-wise. It plays the second verse, whereas the "first half" played the first verse
By far my favorite anime. No matter how much I rewatch it, it always gets me. The epicness, the feels, the amazing characters, the story as a whole, the music...
You should give a try to the movies when you have the time, they are great and come with some modifications at some points, definetely worth a watch.
I feel exactly the same, I've already watched it 4 times and now I'm convinced that I want to do my version of the series adding the most emotional movie scene to the series with some editing
@@rullocompressore1550 i have tried to do that bef4 haha too bad i sucked at video editting and didnt finish it
@@duyngo7697 same, also my PC is kinda bad and it was too slow when editing :')
how did he skip through all of the “pierce the heavens” speech just to talk about lord genome????????
i’m back a day later and i’m still thinking about this. it was the best speech in the whole show!!!!
@@magicmonkey41 "My drill is the drill... That Creates The HEAVENS!!!"
-Best speech
I'm sobbing just by rewatching these short scenes YoY
I had completely forgotten how amazing this anime was, until i saw these two videos, one of the best series ever
This man really passed up the chance to say "Giga Drill Break that like button"
My genuine favorite show ever. Everything is emotional and nothing is ever black and white. Every character could be considered the "good guy" for their actions. If this show isn't a masterpiece, I don't know what is
I mean yeah even an alien race that genocides any other advanced race is the hero of their own story because evething they do is to preserve all life in the universe
Really sad you didn't bust through the 2-win limit here; it just would've fit, y'know?
Kittan in dub when he died completely broke me. This nice to go back and listen to others perspective, truly top 5 of my anime, probably my top.
25:42 The two shows are from the same studio, Gainax, so that may be why as to the similarities.
"Only 1 hour?"
*Looks at video title*
"Oh that makes sense"
The second half is great i can't understand why people hate it.
Sure the final fight isn't as good as the one in the movie but it's still incredible.
Also known as : "Local man punches a god in the face for taking his waifu" the anime. I love it
Damb didn't expect the ending to hit me as hard as it did again
This is one of my most memorable anime I have had the pleasure of viewing thank you for making these videos on it they where truly spectacular it was nice seeing your utter disbelief and shocked amazement at all the twist around every corner well done
This series is as close to perfect as it could get. Kamina is such a great example of masculine positivity all the characters are amazing.
From what I can tell, Gurren Lagann is voiced amazingly in Japanese, English and German.
Also, groing through all those deaths and sacrifices again was not easier the second time around...
All the main characters and side characters are jusy so well built! Sometimes animes miss this but Gurren Lagaan nailed it with 101% accuracy
this anime, i just dont know how to describe how amazing it is.
I'm so excited to see this!! The proper review of my favorite anime!
I love this show so much and I'm so glad you do too :,)
TTGL is a masterpiece and one of my favorite shows of all time. I just rewatched it months ago and seeing the emotional moments here made me tear up again. Great video
46:38 During the transformation of the Cathedra Terra, Simon goggles turn to Kamina lenses, and then they chenge again to those more Kittan star-shaped ones
Honestly every dead in this anime made me cry. the characters are so well written even the minor characters have fun and nice personalities
I know I’m a little late, but you almost made me cry from remembering the end of this beautiful anime. Thank you for this grand video, great as usual.
49:20 what i especially love here as well is Viral's scene, seeing him go from that kind and gentle father figure back to a determined fighter the very moment he feels the call of the spiral is amazing
Man, I’m sad again. I loved this when I watched it for the first time and was sad to see it end.
In the movie which is basically a recap of the last few episodes, they add more to the final fight. Simon actually gets out and starts fist fighting the antispiral in a similar way to when he fought the spiral king.
Thanks so much for posting the second half, greatly enjoyed watching your reactions! You responded to a post of mine in the first half about the 2nd one coming. After seeing this I feel you have a very good understanding why I said it was my favorite anime ever; from the sheer quality of story-building, character development and beautiful animation, this anime is an absolute diamond of a gem to me
One of the best anime I’ve seen, great characters, great animation, great story, overall great... and is the first show that ever made me cry. Even again watching these two part videos my heart sobbed when those moments hit. Great video Mr anime anime
I have watched this anime over and over through out the years and every time I do, I still think it is one of, if not, the best anime ever and this video just proved it for me. Good job.
Dam, teared up a little watching this, one of the few anime where I've watched the series multiple times and the end of this anime still hits me.
Finally someone else mentions that.
I like Darling in the Fran but I noticed that also.
Even down to character designs I caught it from time to time.
Honestly, Gurren lagann is one of my favorite animes of all time.
And this pair of Anime wins just reminded me of why I love it.
Just one thing you said at the end, Simon was ALWAYS the one making the impossible happen, even when Kamina was alive, that is why Kamina believed in him and knew he could take care of things, Kamina might have been the leader but Simon was the miracleworker from the start.
52:50 In the movie they take it two steps further. The pure energy of the Anti-Spiral's attack takes Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann and houses it inside of a Simon shaped Spiral energy house called Super Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann. Then when they do the Russian nesting doll scene, Simon straight up destroys all but Gurren Lagann, meaning it's only his Spiral power against the Anti-Spiral. Simon breaks through with Gurren Lagann, only for Gurren to be torn apart. Even Lagann takes a few hits before launching Simon directly at the Anti-Spiral's main body. And a silent fist fight between Simon and the Anti-Spiral occurs.
Better yet, STTGL isn't Simon's form.... it's Kamina. Even in their final battle, every one of them had Kamina in their hearts, so much so their most powerful, largest mech ever took on his likeness, simply because he gave them that much hope.
I’d like to see a lightning round of how you feel about the big movie scenes. I feel like you’d get a huge kick out of em
OO YEAH BABYYY
That's what i've been waiting for!!!!
Hey, I found your channel not that long ago and its been an amazing way to grow fond of these different shows and worlds that I hadn't seen in such a long time, so Thanks for that, on that note, I'm not even sure if you'd do a movie but I'd love to see an anime wins of Bunny Girl Senpai's movie, maybe split into a few different parts, although I do recognise that winning an entire movie would take a lot of time and well, effort, even if you don't, Love the channel, keep doing what your doing.
Easily one of the best animes of all time. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great vid as always
My favorite anime of all time glad you enjoyed it
The ending was crushing yet so meaningful. god im so sad.
ANYWAYS!! can we talk about Yoko's curse? Whenever she kisses a man before he goes off to battle, he dies tragically. honestly sad.
Wait...shut the fuck up we just got the next Einstein
@Tahj Pollock HAHA! oh my god you're right! great job.
This is my favorite anime of all time. That is all, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
hAHAHAHA,,, Your reactions are so relatable. This series is hands down the absolute greatest feat of storytelling in our time. If you browse forums, reddits and videos they are filled with comments from people who say this anime helped them break through depression, loosing loved ones, finding a will to live and its easy to understand why. It saved me too from ongoing existential angst and dredd and got me invested in living to the fullest once again. I have so much love for this story, the creaters and all my fellow diggers forging their way forward in life and laughing in the face of impossible odds! It is a heart breaking, beautiful journey that simultaniously shows us the best and worst of what we will experience in life. It breaks my heart even still when I think about Simone loosing Nia in the end. It sounds odd but I miss this series in the same way that I miss a great friend that I havn't seen in years and I really hope and wish for a return to that universe. Even if they covered the Spiral Kings life I would be stoked as ever since I saw Gurrenn Lagann....it has been difficult to find anything else that can accomplish 1 tenth of the experience this show gives. LETS GO TEAM DAI GURREN!!
I legit cried, thank you
I legit cried watching this. I remember watching all the dubbed episodes when I was younger and seeing a review of this is like a punch to the emotional organ.
EDIT: One thing I like to point out when each member of team Dai-Gurren were about to die, they did it with a smile on their face.
you post the best content I've ever seen. you make me can actually relate to the anime that i love(i don't have friends that like anime or just friends in general) hope you get the attention you deserve.you always make my day. - (some guy that likes anime and don't have friends)
Memories . . . . Of a younger, Anime-Curious soul wandering youtube for new EDM tracks when finding one with Yoko as the background image. After surfing the comments this young man decided to take the plunge and find somewhere to watch it. He found a random Anime site and proceded to get sucked in by unbelievable action seauences, gorgeous visuals, and hilarious comedy. Only to have his heart gut punched into his balls and make him experience true sadness (to the point of actual tears) for the first time watching any medium ever. After this there was no turning back. Through long nights and endless emptional roller coaster rides this young man gets up from his bed, series finished, immediately itching for more. And a new Anime nerd was born. This young man was me, and this series will always be permanantly affixed to my number one slot for this reason. It was hype, hilarious, heartbreaking, and goddamn balls to the walls epic all at once. I love you TTGL, thank you so much
An “Everything Great about Gurren Lagann” video should simply be all 27episodes. My favorite anime ever. I’ve watched and rewatched.
👍
This is one of the few anime I recommend people try and listen to the dub. It (besides a few outliers) has an amazing voice cast.
Fantastic video for a fantastic show
If you liked viral in this series youre gonna love "king of braves gaogaigar" and "king of braves gaogaigar final" where the main character shares a VA with viral
P.s did anyone ever notice how many story elements the final season of samurai jack shares with gurren laggan?
Darling in the Franxx was made by Trigger (along with a-1 pictures) and Trigger is mainly made of the guys at gainax that worked on Gurren lagann, so it comes to no surprise that their greatness showed through in that show as well !
This got me crying again and Im glad for the tears to roll down my cheek
12:00 it has the same author as Darling in the Franxx as far as I know. People were predicting them fighting interdimensional space monsters just from knowing the author.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the only anime that brings me to tears, and I love it.
Here I am again after nine months.
Love gurren lagann now more than before
Truly one of the greatest anime of all time. Would LOVE it if you went and did a review of the 2 films they did, ESPECIALLY the final fight remake. Makes the original look like child's play in comparison. Just...just wow.
You know Its a masterpiece when you get tear Eyed from watching someone just mention the good parts. First acutal Anine i watched and to THIS date, still My absolute favorit
I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention Kittan literally channeling Kamina, pulling off a Giga drill break with a broken drill he borrowed.
Im loving the commentary here though and after watching the first part, I'm definitely gonna have to watch more of your content
this is one of the few anime that really, and i mean really, gives me a jittery feeling even though i have watched it several times over. I really do enjoy this anime, and its become one of my favorites. There was heart and soul put into this anime, it made it the best it could be. In fact, watching this just makes me want to go and rewatch it like my 7-8th time. This anime has incredible music, the art style is amazing, the story is one of the best, they always make time for comedy, they have their serious moments but use those moments to deepen characters and their relationships, and they made a clear message too. That message was that even though life might try to screw you over, sometimes pushing forward can make it turn out the best. There was also death and loss based messages too, this anime is one that helped me deal with the losses of friends and family. Don't let the loss chain you to the ground, but still take the time to mourn and miss them. There are more messages in there, but if you havent seen gurren lagann on your own, i say go watch it and find them on your own.
ive been waiting for this
e
One of the most recent anime I’ve watch and I watch Ed a lot and this was one of the most saddest and hype anime I’ve watched
Man it's been so, so many years since I first saw gurren lagann. I personally don't like replaying story driven games, and rewatching anime/movies/series, all for the same reason. Once you know the story, the reason to watch it is gone. Although, this video just made all those memories rush back, getting me all emotional. I had forgotten just how great this anime is. I really should rewatch it someday.
something I love about this series is that there are no "villains", the antagonists are forgiven for staying static without being able to see their potential. while the dai-gurren patrol does the impossible !!
Man that was one heck of a WILD ride
One thing that I think really sells Lordgenome is how he threw down with Lagann ON HIS OWN. He just. Without his own broken mech fought Lagann on even terms and that to me is an amazing finale to the beastman war.
I wonder what AnimeWins will say about that *ONE* battle
Please tell me you mean the movie
@@yoursteak5215 Yeah mate
It's been so long since I've watched this that I almost forgot how much hype they packed into the final battle. My favourite part of that fight will always be Viral throwing Simon and telling him to get in there!
One of the best anime I have seen till date.
what an experience, I learned a lot and so grateful that I found this show ;-;
How could you not give a win to "I have the Best Wife in the Universe Swing"?
But seriously though, this was one of the best animes of all time. the pacing, the animation, the story the characters were all done with maximum effort put behind them. But I got to mention the final battle: there were TWO versions of it. I don't know where I can find the other one. Definitely want to see a review of though if you can find it.
I freaking loved this anime. One of my favorites.
Side note: In the OP of the episode immediately after Kamina's, you can see that Kamina isn't it. I wasn't sure if you noticed since you didn't mention it in the first half vid.
