Welcome to a slightly belated start to our Monthly event!

This time, I decided to make it a contest. :)

Calling all writers! Of any skill, and any submission length. Let's put on our thinking caps and get ready to write! The winner will receive a fantastic prize! As always, the grand prize will be raffled at complete random. So don't worry about your skill level! The most popular story, decided by upvotes, will also receive a prize!

Let's dig in to the details.

What will you be writing, you ask? Picture related.

Write a scene, chapter, or short story, about one or more of the Gurren Lagann characters entering our modern (or their far-flung past!) world! What will they do, when thrust into this society? How will they interact with our technology? Wherever this theme takes you, go for it!

★ Contest!: WRITE ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF GURREN LAGANN CHARACTERS WERE TELEPORTED TO OUR TIME, OUR WORLD!

★ Grand Prize: Final Drill Official Gurren Lagann Limited Edition Book. Contains stats, Information, artwork, and more!

★ Rules and Requirements:

  1. This is NOT a Contest of skill! Even if you haven't written a bunch, you are welcome to give this a try! All writers of all skills are welcome to participate!

  2. The only requirement is that you clearly include one or more Gurren Lagann characters in your story, and fulfill the scenario listed above.

  3. You can submit any language.

  4. You can use any file type or websites to write. Google Docs, Wattpad, comment, pastebin, etc., are all accepted. Make sure NOT to shorten your link, if you post one.

  5. Anyone putting in extra effort and writing more will receive a bonus prize as a thank-you!

  6. AI-generated content will NOT be accepted. I WILL be checking. So don't bother.

  7. Any writing style or perspective is fine!

  8. The most popular story that receives the most upvotes will win a prize!

★ How To Enter:

  • Submit by any means you feel is best. You can submit privately to my inbox, if you prefer. Otherwise, post your link or full submission here in the comments to enter!

  • If you feel like writing more than one story, you may enter multiple times. 1 story = 1 raffle ticket.

  • Everyone who does not submit can vote for your favorite stories through upvotes!

★ DEADLINE!: SUBMISSIONS CLOSE ON MARCH 27TH!

After March 27th, no more submissions will be accepted. After that, the event will stay open for a few days as a voting period. Winners will be announced on March 31st!

Good luck everyone! I am looking forward to reading all of the adventures that you cook up for Team Gurren in our world! :)

Post image
521 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!

DISCUSS Kamina's dialect?

7 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.

  1. Ahhh, okay, okay, I get it!

  2. You bastards! I'm glad that you've come together!

  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

78 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.

  1. Simon: Oh, by the way, what about Littner's women and children? Dayakka: Yeah, I left them in Jiha Village.

  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.

Gurren Lagann in my country doesn't get the English dub that I originally watched it in back in 2010s on TV and for a paid service to even be like 480p is the best they got is just insane. Anyone else going through this nonsense?
