Yes, Gurren's mech designs are messy and awful to look at. They visually make zero sense at that makes them unpleasant for me to look at them. I don't like a singl mech in that show.

Wouldn't this imply someone has SAO as their favourite anime.
This would also imply they simulated SAO and fried their brain.

I blame my ESL.

Gurren Lagann's story is VERY simple, as at it's core it's the basic Hero's Journey storyline. Kid from low standing rises up to become a hero. Kamina was the mentor character, like Obi'Won Kenobi or Dumbledore.

Except its not basic at all.
Gurren Lagann was really enjoyable until the
time skip.
Madoka is a much better show.
You can boil down most stories like that. Just because it follows the Hero's Journey doesn't make it simple overall. I'd say, Gurren is way overcomplicated and nonsensical when you dig down into the details of the story.
Shut your mouth. Kamina was a bro.
I actually like the StarMan mech, but the Gurren Series of mecha and the other one in that photo are good examples of everything wrong with the mechanical design.

Go to hell Jarmel.
Fact: Dix-Neuf is the best mecha design GAINAX has done since the original EVA 01.
The art is a specific taste. Gotta have appreciation for wideface.
(Yes I'm quoting all of this because it's wonderful.)
Thank you thank you thank you.
Now if only cajun and MadP would get to watching this too! I am determined to spread the wonder of this show to all of AnimeGAF.
Will watch it later this week or else on vacation.

It's a shame, because everyone should have an appreciation for wide face.

Kamina's manliness is spreading through animegaf!
As it should.
No that's only if you get into the van.
I try to think about Shinn Asuka as little as possible. But if I must be forced to admit that Shinn Asuka is a character in a show, then yes, he's horrible. Probably still worse than Suguha, but only because he's in the show longer.
In terms of awful Gundam protagonists: Shinn > Flit > Setsuna > Kou.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to say things that are wrong.

Wideface doesn't work well with Kamina glasses.

I think wide butt would work with Kamina glasses.

Time can do a lot of things to a person. It works in Gurren Lagann because the show is at its core, about evolution. The characters evolved over time.
This. It looked so much like something a villain would use. Which it was. One of my favourite aspects of the show.

Only one way to find out.
I think that's symptomatic of the various homages toward eras of the genre.You have these silly looking robots that represent form over function that slowly give way to other styles as the series progressed. The Gurren stuff looks increasingly out of place becaause it is as things went along because it's this representation of a bygone era.
Best thing he did was die!

you can't put kamina glasses on that which is already wearing plexiglass eyewear!
Banana Man is best Mecha.
Who the hell do you think you are, callin' my mech a banana?! That's KING KITTAN-SAMA to you! Learn to show some respect!

So yeah, we now have
villains coming back from the dead
Kareharn and Moerumba back after so long
them interacting with each other, which we never got to see in their original appearances for obvious reasons
significantly more powerful than before, which I guess makes sense considering how they were revived
All the fountains are actually restored now, which is kind of cool. I was kind of expecting the final fountain's restoration to be prevented somehow, or else one or more of the other fountains to be re-stolen. But no, all the fountains are now in top form. It's just the World Tree that still needs reinvigorating. And sadly, there's no way of doing that without
the Fairy Carafe, which Gohyarn has now appropriated for his own nefarious purposes
But it's not all bad! It looks like we are getting a couple of things out of the Fountain Restoration Completion! For one, Princess Filia is finally able to materialise and join the team proper. She doesn't exactly seem to be a big help, but the mascots are happy to see her, so that's nice at least. More interestingly,
Michiru and Kaoru seem to be awakening from their deep slumber in the depths of Dark Fall
