Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Part 2
KISSES MEAN DEATH.
Kiss #1:
DEATH. Kiss #2:
DEATH. Kiss #3:
DEEEEEAAAAATH.
Before that last one, I thought it was just Yoko, like she had Lips of Death or something, but no. All kisses in TTGL lead to death.
Also, apparently Simon's version of going Super Saiyan involves, in place of blond hair, the ugliest fucking glasses in existence. Star-shaped glasses? I mean, really? I don't think I've ever seen glasses involving star shapes worn by someone over the age of ten. They're hideous, and thank God they broke. You'd think they'd be poking into his forehead and cheekbones, wouldn't you? I certainly would, but perhaps that's because I have some grasp of logic.
In TTGL, the creators' lack of common sense could not be more apparent. I mean, sure, I knew that it was ridiculous long before I saw their flag billowing in the wind in space, but I really didn't think they'd get more over-the-top than having mechs throwing planets at each other. But no, they had to go around bouncing off of galaxies and throwing them like discuses. Yay for science.
On another topic, how adorable was human!Boota? Cuute. I could have gone with less pink, personally, but I love Boota and he made an incredibly adorkable humanoid thing.
Speaking of cute, who would've guessed that Viral's dream would be having a wife and daughter? He is apparently a family man. Awww.
I have issues with the whole twenty-years-later bit, though. Rossiu looked fucking weird, and his voice was horribly jarring compared with what he sounded like before. Also, Leeron apparently doesn't age. He didn't age after the seven-year jump in episode 17, either. The only logical conclusion here is that Leeron is immortal zomg.
On the whole, though, the ending was thoroughly depressing. First we got Nia's death, which was not terribly surprising, but then Simon drops off the face of the planet and wanders around doing nothing, apparently. One of his last lines is, "I guess I'm nobody."
GREAT. THANKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL HAPPY FEEL-GOOD ANIME, GAINAX. TTGL has pissed me off until the end. Of course. Now if someone could explain to me why I liked it so damn much, I'd be very thankful.
