"Gurren Lagann" on Hulu & YouTube Talkback (Spoilers)

[sweet78]

I feel like Gainax wouldn't have regained their stature if they just cranked out a run of the mill "loose" show. I don't think people realize that for all their hype, they'd been on something of a mini losing streak before Gurren Lagann. With GL, they've been able to get back out of Evangelion's shadow somewhat.

Although I did like KareKano and Petite Princess Yucie a lot. Mahoromatic, Ugly/Beautiful World not very much, He is my Master not at all, and was just "meh" on FLCL and Abenobashi.

I still haven't seen Gunbuster 2. I really wish Bandai would re-release that in a cheaper form now that BV has been re-absorbed back into BE.

Ah, I remeraber that Q&A.

[xspoilerx="Seriously, spoiler"]It was so close that it actually explains a few things about the final product, such as the ending's deviation from the first episode's opening and the visuals of episode 4.[/xspoilerx]

No, they definitely pulled themselves back a bit with FLCL. Not only that, but started the animation style for their future mecha shows.

Gainax isn't loose with their writing and this proves it. The final product would have been a lot more disjointed, reserabling the shows they intended to reconstruct rather than truly reconstructing the genre.

I definitely acknowledge FLCL's influence and popularity.

Not a fan of it myself though.
