hi. This video is very experimental as you can probably tell. As I get better at reviewing and talking about stuff I like, I'll probably be using this format more often (unless I think it sucks). Anyway, next week we're back to normal 8) EDIT: Nice to see so many who ain't finish the video alreadygetting vibe checked by the title 😎
Vitor Moura Bolzan Moreira But Evangelion has to be treaded carefully considering it has real-world effects on the viewers. It can either give them depression, lonelines, & anxiety (extending to death anxiety); make them be denial of the current societal order thus being pretentious & hating sexual fanservice & mainstream anime/manga; or pissing them off, in turning the viewer hating the angst, edginess, nihilism, and calling everybody f*ggots for the wimpiness.
"A true man doesnt die even when he's killed!" I remember hearing that as a kid and thought it sounded so dumb, typical Kamina, but after he passed you could feel his presence in various moments of the anime as is his and his passing legitimately impacted them all making his silly quote so true that I think about it from time to time.
Kamina has so many of these "dont believe in yourself, believe in the me who believes in you" is the biggest one because when youre lacking confidence if you have people who believe in you you can find strength. Then its really powerful how he goes back to telling Simon he can believe in himself when Kamina knows that he's dying.
Dude I'm so glad someone else recognizes iCarly for the amazing mecha show that it is. Gibby Vs Spencer was one of the most brilliantly animated fight scenes I'e ever seen, and(spoilers!!!1!) Sam's betrayal halfway through S2 shook me to my core. Iconic stuff, almost certainly influenced so many anime today.
I really really love Kamina's character, and how he was the father simon never had. People seem to remember the most how he said "Dont believe in yourself, believe in me, believe in the me who believes in you.". But the line that stuck with me the most was how he said, in his final moments, "Listen up Simon. Don't forget. Believe in yourself. Not in the you who believes in me. Not in the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself!"
@@alexanderdavidlocarnogomez3441 simons character is more admirable, to be able to overcome the loss of his most precious person, but I love kamina because he became who he was without someone guiding him early on. I love him because of how he helped simon grow, even in his last breaths. It's not about who is better, because without kamina there is no simon, and without simon, there is no gurren lagann.
Dude takes that shit like a champ though. Imagine being such a chad as to have such a wholesome dream and still take it in stride when you gotta go do what you gotta do.
@@thenew4559 Indeed, by comparison the US doesn't even have a federal age of consent so if japan is 13 then US is 0. State wise we also split between 16 and 18. It's actually a bit weird, 16 is the age of consent in a lot of the world.
@@rullocompressore1550 Gurren Lagann has the most heart I'd seen in an anime since Naruto. I know a lot of people shit on Naruto; in my case, it was genuinely important on my path to maturity and helped start me on my path of learning emotional intelligence and empathy. That series had tons of heart, but Gurren Lagann is exploding with heart.
The only slightly weird episode is Episode 4, because a different team of animators worked on it so the art style is significantly rougher. That's genuinely the only example of just average animation in the show, that is the only episode
And this is significant because the simon before kamina passed away would’ve agreed with rossiu but he learned from kamina and ultimately sided with kamina’s way of life
Anyways...Simon is actually pretty clever and creative, he has some capacity of "logic" It's just that the best way to beat nigh omniscient beings is to be "dumb" beyond comprehension His idea on how to deal with Death Spiral machine ? "No one's stupid enough to dive straight to the center"
DaRealSparky007 evangelions about a wimp who doesnt try to change his circumstance and remains scared. gurren laganns about a wimp who is scared, but does try to change his circumstance, and through his struggle ends up doing great things.
Scamboli Reviews I’ve watched over 110 series but none of them ever got a specific episode stuck in my head like Gurren Lagann did with episode 8, still comes to mind whenever the series is brought up and I watched it 12 years ago :’(
After finishing Gurren Lagann on a early Tuesday morning that I thought would be boring, I cried, and cried, and cried. Every time I even thought about the ending, I would have this big dumb smile on my face and feel like bawling. I didn't think the funny Mecha anime could make me feel this way, but I guess I was wrong. Pierce those god damn heavens.
“There are more Deus Ex Machinas than there are kids at a Hispanic household”, that made me spit my coffee and went into a laughing fit, funny as hell, and accurate 😂😂😂😂
I mean... *PURE MANLINESS, EPIC ROBOTS, EXPLOSIONS, PURE HYPE AND INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES?* This is EXACTLY how a mecha anime should be. If it were made it the 90s... Gurren Lagann would be more appreciated tbh. You explained this perfectly. *Thank you for making this video.*
I've been watching for about 3 months now and this channel is like a hidden jem. The reviews and commentary are nice and this channel doesn't promote generic trash anime.
Just finished this anime today and it's hands down one of my favourite's ever. It gave me a feeling I can't explain. This series made me smile , cry and so much more. It will forever hold a special place in my heart
Get addicted to smoking your kids. Once you’ve smoked them all, not only will they not be hungry anymore or ever have to feel again, but you will have to wait nine months after impregnating your wife where you will have nothing to smoke, weening you off it by force. You’re welcome.
I think you forgot to mention that this is the only TV show where the characters resolve their problems in the climax by *chucking galaxies at each other*
Just started my 8th rewatch of this show over the last 15 years. Such an amazing, formative piece of work that i've found more and more reasons to love as the years have gone on. I've also watched it in Japanese and English several times over, and while I absolutely LOVE Yuri Lowenthal's performance as Simon, I cannot believe I never noticed Ron was voiced by Steve Blum! awesome video.
I really appreciate how much impact was this anime in my life. I have found it in the times of dire need, totally random, and each and every episode made me crave more. And I have crawled through all of em. And it was a journey I will never forget. There are scenes there that still make me cry, and feel and shit. Despite the years movin on(I dare ya to not cry on ep26, niggas!) it is still my all time favourite. And it blows my mind how it is considered a parody of a genre, when it delivered the best messages OF IT'S GENRE.
Yoko is a small reason why I loved this anime but I was sad that she had a minimal role in the second half besides the one episode she had all to herself, but even though she had a small role near the end the anime still had an amazing ending
No, she didn’t have a small role, every character except Simon had a small role in the second part. Yoko in the second part had a great and emotional meaning. Her episode with the kids it’s super deep and I love it how she becomes more mature and in the end she is the future of the next generation

There are plenty worth talking about. RahXephon, VOTOMS, Mobile Suit Gundam before the franchise got shit, Space Runaway Ideon, Dougram. The list goes on.
The only people who say this are the kinds of people who've only seen a handful of mecha anime. And probably never looked past the surface. It's a take as bad as when boomers think "all anime is octopus hentai with schoolgirls"
From High School to College to Professional Working life I still re-watch TTGL every year. Crazy to think I'm now twice as old as when I first watched it and you can now watch it on your phone while you're on the bus and train.
@@Deviant69 IBO was teribble at worst and mid at best. People only like it because it looks cool on the outside, all style and zero substance. A better place to start would be 08thms or 00
Yeah this is one of those animes that made me feel empty after I finished it. This show grows onto you in a strange way that I havent experienced in any other fictional work. Something about it´s epic but childish setting makes me feel like a kid again with all the hopes and ambitions I used to have but somehow lost along the way.
The reason for everything in this show: why it's so good, why Simon is an upgrade on Shinji/etc, everything, is because it's an amalgamation of the entire history of mecha anime prior. Everything from the Super Robot beginnings, to Gundam's massive influence, to Eva's shift to the dramatic and psychological, and finally the last hurrah and imminent decline of the genre (Code Geass and 3D animation giving the genre one last breath before death), is all captured in this one show.
I can't believe anyone would give this show that title. It's 80% a ripoff of Getter Robo. If you want a good mecha anime, watch Getter Robo Armageddon. It's where GL stole everything from.
@The Fantom Convoy It was mostly taken from Getter Robo though. The very concept of Spiral Power was just Getter Rays. They're both even green. GL is primarily about combining robots, which Getter Robo invented. Kamina's last words are stolen straight from Ryoma in New Getter Robo. And even their endings are the same, except Ryoma wasn't a wuss like Simon and became the destroyer of universes instead of holding the power back.
It has a lot of cliches... Things fucking coming out of everyone's ass. Nothing is really explained throughly. But it's still okay.... Because it's so fucking cool
Lol not deus ex machina lagann is the embodiment of the fighting spirit of humanity it's how simon found him in the first place but in reality it was him who was looking for simon.
Every weeb: Gurren Lagann changed my life. Me, whose never seen or will probably never watch it because I'm too lazy to really care: *chuckles* I'm in danger.
There are a few animes i will never forget - and Guren Lagann is definitely one of those. Even now, when watching some reviews and people talking about it, i get this... feeling... down my throat, chills of pure enjoyment and epicness this show was. With all the tears and one of the most perfect bittersweet endings ever 💚
I just finished watching the series and was literally feeling that empty feeling, looking for something Gurren Lagann related to watch to try and fill the void. You sir, delivered 👍
Hey Scamboli... I really didn't like Gurren Laggan at first.. I don't know if anyone will read this comment, but who cares. I've watched *Gurren Lagann* because of the episode with Trash Taste. Anime youtubers that I looked up to... Garnt and Joey have always praised this anime over the past years, and also because *Gurren Lagann* beat *Hunter x Hunter* and *Mob Psycho 100* on this tournament arc episode they had. I've tried watching *Gurren Lagann* before, but couldn't get past episode 4, because... I just didn't enjoy it. So, I buckled up and forced myself to watch the whole thing. To be honest, I still didn't enjoy it. I mean, the animation was okay. Considering how old it is, it might have been as awesome as *Jujutsu Kaisen* or *Chainsaw Man*. But I still feel that it's not on the same level as *Hunter x Hunter*, the *One Piece* manga, the *Berserk* manga, *Mob Psycho 100*, *Attack on Titan*, *FMA*, or *Code Geass*. You know what I mean? But then episode 14 came, and... I don't know how to explain it, but the tone changed, and it became interesting for me. I became personally involved with the characters. Episode 21 came, a story about Yoko, a character I wasn't really interested in, but it changed. I fell in love. Then the overall story... I know it's ironic, but it just evolved. From a goofy action show, to a deep personal show. I now get it. To all side charcters that I don't give a fuck, I fucked with them. To the manly spirit bullshit that I couldn't give fuck, I give a fuck with it now. It's a story of human spirit. A story of how we overcome our struggles. A story of humanity. I really thought that I would not agree with Garnt and Joey's decision on this episode of TT. But after finally watching all of *Gurren Lagann*, I now get it. Now, I hope I can convince myself to watch/read *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*.

sound pretty similar to what dr. hiriluk from one piece says about the death
also how Kamina was literally already dead when he gave Simon that final speech
Kamina has so many of these "dont believe in yourself, believe in the me who believes in you" is the biggest one because when youre lacking confidence if you have people who believe in you you can find strength. Then its really powerful how he goes back to telling Simon he can believe in himself when Kamina knows that he's dying.

From High School to College to Professional Working life I still re-watch TTGL every year. Crazy to think I'm now twice as old as when I first watched it and you can now watch it on your phone while you're on the bus and train.
1:38 in all fairness, Gurren Lagann *IS* dumb. It’s an amazing and fantastic show, but it’s also dumb. Good dumb.
"icing on the creampie" lol
Ratatouille is my favorite mecha anime. Change my mind.
LMAO the evangelion diss is very funny and epic
why would anyone be pissed. this title is completely accurate.
You'd be surprised
Real talk though when we gonna see a review of the Chad Shin getter robo armaggedon? No reason to stop with the Virgin TTGL after all.
BELIEVE IN THE ME WHO BELIEVES IN THE YOU! SO BELIEVE IT.
This man clearly hasn't watched Gundam.
is Iron Blooded Orphans good?
If you watched till the end, then you know every mecha I've ever seen. So yeah, I clearly have not 😎
@@Deviant69 very good. Not the best but still very good.
@SiriusBusiness personally I reccomend the 08th MS Team. It's more down to earth and shows the real sides of war.
@@Deviant69 IBO was teribble at worst and mid at best. People only like it because it looks cool on the outside, all style and zero substance. A better place to start would be 08thms or 00
Oh yeah baby now it's time for me to REEEE about how code geass is the true best mecha anime
or you know... not
more like WRRYYY
Yeah this is one of those animes that made me feel empty after I finished it. This show grows onto you in a strange way that I havent experienced in any other fictional work. Something about it´s epic but childish setting makes me feel like a kid again with all the hopes and ambitions I used to have but somehow lost along the way.
The reason for everything in this show: why it's so good, why Simon is an upgrade on Shinji/etc, everything, is because it's an amalgamation of the entire history of mecha anime prior.
Everything from the Super Robot beginnings, to Gundam's massive influence, to Eva's shift to the dramatic and psychological, and finally the last hurrah and imminent decline of the genre (Code Geass and 3D animation giving the genre one last breath before death), is all captured in this one show.
honestly you're becoming one of my favorite youtubers
I'm glad :O
"Who the hell do you think I am!?" have a separate fan base.
can't wait for code Geass and death note review's
same. my top 2 faves.
Honestly - the inspiration from this anime is crazy from a psychological standpoint. It literally made me want to go pierce the heavens 😂
This anime convinced me not to kill my self. My favorite anime of all time.
This anime makes you FEEL LIKE THE DRILL
Code geass even though it’s less centered around mecha.
Since you like Gurren laggan, why not try shin getter robo??
What’s getter like? Is it super or real? I’m in the middle of all of Gundam (finished UC now I’m doing the AU timelines). Would you recommend?
@@jagerzaku9160 Super Robot.
Some People say Gurren Lagan is like Darling in the Franxx. Nah it's the other way around
"Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina that believes in you!"
Me: Its midnight I should probably sleep
*Scamboli uploaded 10 seconds ago*
Me: SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK
I watch this show a month ago, it was literally my gateway anime and hasn’t been topped yet
I loved it when I watched a couple years back, still can’t bring myself to rewatch tho as the ending broke me ;)
I heard the movies make the series feel more complete if that helps
@@ScamboliReviews
I was today years old when I found out there were Gurren Lagann movies.....
@@ScamboliReviews any reliable way to watch them other than risky online box set purchase?
@@ScamboliReviews Just like Eva lmao
When the final Mech is Whut...150 AU in highth...well fu#%...how could it not be the best
Yoko is 14 in part 1 btw... Yeah she's kinda old looking but whatever I guess
Gurren Lagann is the most gloriously manly thing I've ever watched and I know y'all agree.
I agree with the title. and kill la kill too
If Gurren Lagann doesn't make you cry you just don't get it.
My favourite Anime: Gurren Lagann
When was this episode released: My Birthday
The Most Overrated Mecha of All Time | Gurren Lagann
The Actual Best Mecha of All Time | GaoGaiGar
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has become a major icon in the LGBT community" xD bro that line killed me
I don't think that was a joke
@Strikhedonia :3 yeah
Gurren lagan best mecha my balls, watch ideon
Godly comment
I can't believe anyone would give this show that title. It's 80% a ripoff of Getter Robo. If you want a good mecha anime, watch Getter Robo Armageddon. It's where GL stole everything from.
@The Fantom Convoy It was mostly taken from Getter Robo though. The very concept of Spiral Power was just Getter Rays. They're both even green. GL is primarily about combining robots, which Getter Robo invented. Kamina's last words are stolen straight from Ryoma in New Getter Robo. And even their endings are the same, except Ryoma wasn't a wuss like Simon and became the destroyer of universes instead of holding the power back.
Did you know that Yoko was 14 at the beginning of the series
This anime, and Birdie, had me fucked up back then.
I still prefer Eva but Gurenn Lagann is great and still my second favorite
1:10 Name one!! I dare you!
Deus ex machinas? You just keep asspulling stuff with no examples!
It has a lot of cliches... Things fucking coming out of everyone's ass. Nothing is really explained throughly. But it's still okay.... Because it's so fucking cool
@@Deadme1Name one thing that's an asspull. Cliches and not explaining things thoroughly are not technical problems, but name at least one if you can.
Lol not deus ex machina lagann is the embodiment of the fighting spirit of humanity it's how simon found him in the first place but in reality it was him who was looking for simon.
for real this loser made a ton of claims but gave no examples
Every weeb: Gurren Lagann changed my life.
Me, whose never seen or will probably never watch it because I'm too lazy to really care: *chuckles* I'm in danger.
Gurren lagann has left a whole in my heart so wide even main character in hentai can’t fill it
There are a few animes i will never forget - and Guren Lagann is definitely one of those. Even now, when watching some reviews and people talking about it, i get this... feeling... down my throat, chills of pure enjoyment and epicness this show was. With all the tears and one of the most perfect bittersweet endings ever 💚
I just finished watching the series and was literally feeling that empty feeling, looking for something Gurren Lagann related to watch to try and fill the void.
You sir, delivered 👍
Hey Scamboli...
I really didn't like Gurren Laggan at first..
I don't know if anyone will read this comment, but who cares. I've watched *Gurren Lagann* because of the episode with Trash Taste. Anime youtubers that I looked up to... Garnt and Joey have always praised this anime over the past years, and also because *Gurren Lagann* beat *Hunter x Hunter* and *Mob Psycho 100* on this tournament arc episode they had.
I've tried watching *Gurren Lagann* before, but couldn't get past episode 4, because... I just didn't enjoy it.
So, I buckled up and forced myself to watch the whole thing. To be honest, I still didn't enjoy it. I mean, the animation was okay. Considering how old it is, it might have been as awesome as *Jujutsu Kaisen* or *Chainsaw Man*. But I still feel that it's not on the same level as *Hunter x Hunter*, the *One Piece* manga, the *Berserk* manga, *Mob Psycho 100*, *Attack on Titan*, *FMA*, or *Code Geass*. You know what I mean?
But then episode 14 came, and... I don't know how to explain it, but the tone changed, and it became interesting for me. I became personally involved with the characters. Episode 21 came, a story about Yoko, a character I wasn't really interested in, but it changed. I fell in love. Then the overall story... I know it's ironic, but it just evolved. From a goofy action show, to a deep personal show. I now get it. To all side charcters that I don't give a fuck, I fucked with them. To the manly spirit bullshit that I couldn't give fuck, I give a fuck with it now.
It's a story of human spirit. A story of how we overcome our struggles. A story of humanity.
I really thought that I would not agree with Garnt and Joey's decision on this episode of TT. But after finally watching all of *Gurren Lagann*, I now get it.
Now, I hope I can convince myself to watch/read *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*.
Can I have your channel? I'll take good care of it, and give it back after I've paid my Mortgage, thnx.
I have to disagree on this.
Best will always be Code geass.
Nah, votoms takes the cake easily over code geass
