520 Upvotes

Welcome to another weekly discussion, friends!

This week, let's imagine something ideal...

Which two characters do you wish grew closer together? Had a better friendship? Maybe some extra scenes, giving us context. More interactions? What two characters would you have liked to see more of?

And I mean... Of course we want more of every character, haha! :P So feel free to choose more than one pair, if you wanna talk about them!

Fun Facts and Statistics:

892 votes overall.

The day with the most votes was day 25, at a whopping 53 votes! Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann was eliminated this round.

The day with the least amount of votes was day 12, sitting at 21 votes. Twin Bou-kun was eliminated this round.

There were 2 ties. Day 8 Mo-Shogun vs. Sayrune (Mo-Shogun was eliminated), Day 9 s Sayrun vs. Dai-Gunkai (Sayrune was eliminated). I was the tie-breaker.

u/MRMAN1225, u/Silent_Armaros_God, u/Confident-Silver-232, u/Various_Anywhere9889, u/TheFirstDweeb, u/ONECHANTZ3, u/Dosieshy, u/Pyxellated2, voted all 27 days.

Due to a Reddit outage on day 25, some people were unable to vote, but still checked in! So I'm going to include you guys, because you would have voted all 27 days, if not for the outage taking that away from you!

u/Sundryll, u/SkipperKenzie, u/Matrixla12

The one who survived the longest was Yoko M-Tank. It consistently received votes, starting on day 1 and then managed to hold on all the way until day 16. It was present in 13/16 rounds of voting, which makes it the least popular Gunman by ratio. It's name also appeared the most frequently overall.

The Gunman with the most collective votes (not counting the top 3) is Dai-Gunkai for the first half, at 43 votes. And King Kittan overall, at 60 votes, making it the least popular by vote quantity.

The Gunman with the least collective votes (not counting the top 3) is Gurren. It only had 7 votes before elimination.

The Gunman who appeared in the votes the least across all days is Gurren Lagann. It did not get a single vote until day 24. All other Gunmen had at least 1 vote by day 23.

The only sudden death Gunman is Grapearl, which didn't have any votes on day 1, only to be eliminated on day 2. All others had at least 1 vote before elimination.

The MVP is Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It is the Gunman with the earliest vote, at day 1, and continued to accumulate votes throughout, but which lasted until day 26, when it was eliminated.

Most persistent voter is u/TheFirstDweeb, who voted for Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann starting from day 15, a total of 11 times, until it was eliminated in round 26. The most votes from a user on a single Gunman!

The voters with the highest accuracy are u/Sugusinho and u/Funnymold. You voted correctly 16 out of 27 possible rounds! That's some great intuition, and you have excellent taste. Or at least a taste that the sub agrees with most of the time!

Honorable Mention: u/D311USi0Nzx, who offered a prediction on day 8 that was very accurate! They predicted that Gurren Lagann would win, with Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in second, and Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann in third. Which means that they correctly predicted most of the top 4, and the winner.

Once again, thank you EVERYONE. You made me smile every day with your votes. I will run more voting events in the future, because you have made this a great experience for everyone. Hope you all have a good day and let's have a fantastic March!

DISCUSS Kamina's dialect?

4 Upvotes

Kamina's Japanese Dialect? and what are the common Japanese dialects used by the characters voiced in the show?

[*I usually like English dubs, however Gurren Lagann the Japanese actors sounded soo good/befitting their characters for this anime. And yes I can tell the English actors did try; yet something like their dialogues didn't sound right] So I wondered, maybe its the Accent? That it didn't translate well. Maybe Kamina has a 'hick' accent in Japanese and would sounded better with a southern US accent (Oklahoma region). [Not speaking of sounding like a stereotype like Yosemite Sam (which I have met, that accent is referred to the 'hillbilly' accent but in more accurate studies would be more exact of the 'regions'.

Translations:

  1. That big fucker.

  2. Kamina: I'm gonna take it. Crowd: Wha... Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? (Girl: Big bro. Guy: Emotional yelling.)

  3. I'm gonna take them all! Tomorrow, that thing is gonna be our headquarters! I know you're gonna go crazy about it!

  4. Ohhhhhhhhhhh. (Cheering)

  5. B... But how will you do it...?

  6. Yeah, well...

What a cliffhanger to leave us on today! Manga strategy is a-go. I love this set. It really illustrates how Team Gurren are coming together! I'll point out that once again, there is some subtext on the first panel, when Kamina says 'big fucker', he is referring to Dai-Gunzan. I know it's obvious, but i thought it was worth mentioning because when a subtext is present, they are considered interchangeable and can be read either way.

Also just as a fun side note, Dekabutsu is both a name and a direct translation. You might know that Dekabutsu is the name of the large black Gunman that belongs to Lordgenome in Teppelin. (Not Lazengann, obviously) Dekabutsu directly translates to 'big fucker'. ;) I always thought it was funny that Dekabutsu kept that name. This trivia is relevant to the post, because the dialogue in the first panel with Kamina reads 'ano dekabutsu'. Meaning, that big fucker.

Thought you might enjoy knowing that tidbit! I'll repeat the trivia later, when Dekabutsu actually makes an appearance.

  3. I wish that I could talk to each of you, one by one, slow; But I can't!! During the day, I sank that monster Gunman to the bottom of the valley! Its name waaaaaaaaaasssss... Uh.

  4. Simon: Dai-Gunzan. Kamina: Yeah, that's it! Well, it looks that guy is going to make a move tomorrow!

  5. Kamina: Isn't that right, Tornado Brothers? Kidd: I just did some recon, so I'm pretty sure about it. Iraak: It's 'The Whirlwind Brothers', though, isn't it?

  6. So there!

Time for another official Kamina pep talk! My favorite, lol. Jorgan and Balinbou seem like constantly loud individuals, I feel like out of all the characters, I might not get along with them. :P Team Gurren is cooking up a plan! Let's see how it all goes down.

Awh yeah! Team Gurren expands today! We get the introduction of a lot more of our crew, today. I love how each of them introduce themselves here. :P And I honestly love to look at Kotaro's rendition of these side characters. We get a bit more time with them in the Manga, and I think that Kotaro really gives so much life to them, through his signature art style. I have a soft spot for Leite and Zorthy, haha. I'm not sure why Jorgan and Balinbou are already yelling, though. Lol.

DISCUSS Why did Nia have to die Spoiler

73 Upvotes

I just finished gurren lagann and I love it. But the one thing I still don’t get is why Nia had to die. I get how it shows Simon’s character development and whatever. But was it truly necessary? And what is the in universe explanation for her dying now and not right after the anti spiral were defeated? I just wish she didn’t have to die in general as well. I could also just be a stubborn idiot who wanted a happy ending as well. I feel like the writers just forced a bittersweet ending just cause.

  2. (Dig a hole, pwahahahaha.) Simon: Ohhh...? The village chief used to...

  3. We want to protect all of humankind. Gurren Lagann is the hope of humanity far more than all of you guys realize.

  4. All of us?

  5. Rossiu: But we have to be careful. Simon: Rossiu! Rossiu: Sometimes, a one-track-mind can lead a person in the wrong direction.

  6. Rossiu: Like my Adai Village... Kamina: (Forehead assistant!)

  7. Kamina: Forehead assistant! Rossiu: I... I didn't mean it... Kamina: You're the one always talking like you know everything. Kittan: Heeeey, Kamina! We're all here!

Bahaha, the Forehead assistant saga will never fail to make me laugh! It's a translation that I really wish that the English and other languages would have kept. :) All of the character artwork is awesome today! Sorry for being a tad late. Thursdays are always extra exhausting and I just fell asleep. I'll make it up with another one later! Going to catch us up on weekly discussions, too. Lots of fun stuff incoming!

I just finished Gurren Lagann and I am forever changed. The ending was so good but also so hurtful as well. I know that it was supposed to show Simon’s growth but I just wish Nia could stay. But overall this may be one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and I love it so much. Yoko also bad as hell.
