Dead at episode 15

What the hell? Obvious foreshadowing that something else is coming, but this was some Hunter X Hunter level stuff for misdirecting me.

Welcome to mecha storytelling, OP.

Are you watching dub or sub? Hows the rest of the show been?

I knew very little about this show going in and Ive apparently only seen artwork and videos referring to the first half. I never knew this show had a time jump.

Human Extermination has been announced. Getting some Neon Genesis feels.

Freaking awesome twist with the Spiral King. Still trying to peocsss how I feel about him.

Kicked the shit out of me. I also adore the artistic integrity with that move.

He was very obviously a character that would be a stand out from the beginning. To resist the marketing potential of keeping him around longer is something to be respected.

I really liked his kindness to those around him and the English voice acting really was fantastic. I thought he was the main character before I started the show and I was definitely caught off guard.

I read somewhere each arc of the show is based on some era of mecha anime. The stuff until Kamina's death is the 70s, the after after it until Spiral King battle is the 80s, the arc you are in now is the 90s (so it's really an Evangelion homage)...

... except he's in the cockpit basically the entire second half. Which is to say all 3 new transformations.

In this case it's probably Arc Gurren Lagann.

Oh, I misremembered, I could only remember the end part. I guess he does recruit him earlier than that. My bad

He dies at the end of the first season/arc, is that so surprising? Kamina is the one that is supposed to be out of nowhere

2nd arc has so much cool shit in it though

The first thing I ever saw of TTGL was the final fight. It just happened to be on TV when I turned it on.

I was very confused.

One more hurdle you have to get through, OP: The recap movies. Theyre pretty much reanimated versions of the biggest fights, but sadly dont have a dubbed version.

The 2nd one, Lagann Hen... even better than the anime, including what they did with the final battle imo

I dont think I'd rewatched any of the post-timeskip episodes again but I've rewatched that movie a few times!

Remember when Gainax made anime?

I realize it's a cheap jab because everyone who mattered left to form Trigger, but it's insane that this was the last time they were even REMOTELY relevant.
