GURREN LAGANN SPOILERS!!!

ARK Gurren-Lagann did it first

Hey I'm really sorry but we awakened your fiancée as the anti-spiral's messenger. Yeah she's glowing red all over and speaking with the voice of the legion about the extermination of humanity.

I think I'm the only person in the world who feels this way but I really hated gurren laganns ending because it was like the worst possible mix of 'idyllic happy ending after a long fought battle except with one specific tragic fridging that fucks the whole thing up'. nia dying felt like a last ditch attempt to try and reinsert consequences into a story that had just become 'believe hard enough and you'll succeed' and ends up feeling cruel.

I like tragedy in stories and character deaths that feel meaningful (kamina was such a good one), but nia dying felt like such a half assed attempt to add some bittersweet nuance to a very fistpumping heroic victory where it just didn't fit imo. not even getting into the gendered aspects of her dying either

For recommendations, there is Gurren Lagann and Modaka Magica. The former is a mecha anime and the latter is a magical girl anime. Then we have Kill Six Billion Demons, which actually started as a MSP Fan Adventure, that has been mostly lost to time, before becoming its own thing.

I think Madoka may have been the first magical girl anime I watched. It's strange to see someone attempt to deconstruct a genre you're unfamiliar with, kind of like playing Undertale without any RPG experience.

I liked Gurren Lagann, but I still don't know how to feel about the ending. I'm not sure what the popular opinion is - but to me, it hit a wrong note. It seems thematically consistent, but for some reason, it still doesn't feel right.

As for KSBD, I've been recommended it a lot. Don't worry, it's on the list!

They always understood the assignment, we just didn’t get it.

So I had a massive realization about Peni Parker after watching ATSV. Originally many were mad that she was super different in her movie debut which I get going from her clear Eva inspiration to just being anime.

When she briefly appears in “Across” she looks more accurate. (just being depressed)

A lot would think that she’s now gonna stay like this to fix their error but if you get to the end of the film...

Her smile and drive restored. Why is that? 

Cause they were never trying to make her Eva, she was based on Gurren Lagann the whole time. Her jacket being made up of Simon’s color scheme inverted. She even LITERALLY wears it on her sleeve. Like they really wanted to make sure we got it this time.  

Look at the mech when you put them side by side. But this isn’t even the kicker...

She’s doing the iconic Gainax pose at the end of the film. On top of her mech with something loose to epically flow in the wind. *chefs kiss*  Yes she’s crossing her arms I went frame by frame.

The reason I like this is cause in mecha the protag always goes through depressing stuff. That’s what Eva is built around. So by taking her in that direction she’s now a love letter to genre, Eva being included in there rather than being the only thing referenced.

Also with this knowledge the Spot looking kinda similar all of a sudden...

Wait it’s all Gurren Lagann? Always has been. With that in mind, you know what that means with him right around the corner.

TL;DR: Peni was a reference to Gurren Lagann the whole time which is just a love letter to everything mecha. 

THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT SO HARD, WE JUST DIDN’T GET IT.
