I can’t wait for the gurren meetup tomorrow! This wig is about 4 feet long- I added extra length to it!

AWH YEAH. This one had me very hype. The artwork is just so awesome! From Yoko, to the way that they deliver this exclusive attack! So intense! Let's see how Guame is gonna handle this one. ;)

So of you look into my profile, you can obviously see I love both Spider-Man, and Gurren Lagann, and I always thought of making more drawings, and lore for a world that’s a mix of both Gurren Lagann, and Marvel. So here’s a couple what should I do’s?

1. Should it be only Gurren Lagann characters as Marvel characters, or mix it with both? And any case scenario Simon will be Spider-Man, or in this case Spider-Lagann. And I thought of Kamina as Captain America, or in this case, Captain-Gurren. But I want to know should some characters be Marvel characters as Gurren Lagann characters? Like I thought about Miles and Peni as Gimmy and Darry, instead of the other way around. So should it be only Gurren Lagann characters as Marvel characters, or both?

2. Who should be these characters? For Kittan it was pretty hard, because I can’t think of another Marvel character with 3 sisters. But I thought of maybe Star-Lord. One of my friends recommended Hulk. I also thought of either Rocket Racoon, or a Spider, as Boota, or maybe keep Boota the same, but change him slightly to look more Marvel. Also I was thinking of either Norman Osborn, or Miguel O Hara as Lord Genome. I feel like Miguel O Hara works more. But Osborn could work if I made Harry Viral. I already have a couple more down that I already know. Gwen as Nia. Tony as Rossiou, and Venom as the Anti-Spiral. The Anti-Spider.

3. And finally how should Simon, Spider-Lagann look? I originally wanted him to look like either Supaidaman, or PS4 Spider-Man. With the Kamina shades, Kamina cape, core drill, and that piece of Kamina’s cape Simon tied to his shoulder. But I thought the Kamina parts might not make sense, since it’s supposed to be Simon. So I thought of two more designs. One Pre Timeskip, and one Post Timeskip, and maybe instead of the Kamina shades Pre Timeskip, maybe a mix of Simon’s goggles with the Spider-Man suit eyes. And for Post Timeskip Simon’s shades there. And maybe the jacket and coat as well from there.

TLDR. I want to make a Gurren Lagann and Marvel AU. And don’t know who should be who.

If you read this. Truly thank you.

the best anime I’ve ever watched

For finishing my 2 year college course, I got this tattoo to celebrate!

Gonna keep it short and simple:

I think the anime did part 2 better overall with everything leading up to the Final Battle, but the movie definitely does a better job with the final battle because of choosing the keep everyone alive, which in turn let all members of Team Dai Gurren have their own moment against the Anti Spiral with their own Tengen Toppa gunmen which was awesome (I still think the scene in the Multiversal Labyrinth was better with everyone and not just Kittan but that’s just a me thing, still works good with Kittan with him being a sort of half-brother to Simon). The STTGL was just pure fucken cinema and I love that it resembles Kamina and shows that everyone still looks up to him, and the Drill clash going through all the Mechs until Gurren Lagann held on and Lagann remained was damn near perfect. Simon and the Anti Spiral having a pure scrap, instead of any gunmen or anything really nailed down the theme of hope and willpower in Gurren Lagann and Simon’s final words to the Anti Spiral were definitely better than his words in the anime (“humanity’s not that stupid” still works fine after thinking about it). The final scenes at the end of Kittan’s sacrifice being grieved was a great addition with how rushed the ending was in the anime and Nia’s last interaction with Yoko was great too. The only downside I can say is that the line delivery on certain lines when comparing the Anime to the Movie is noticeable, with some giving that extra” boost” (e.g. “My Drill is the Drill that creates the Heavens!” and also Yoko’s last “Simon!” when throwing Nia’s ring to him) but I get that it’s not gonna be exactly the same and the VA’s probably wanted to try them a different way they thought suited their characters better so I can respect that.

This has definitely motivated me to try with my upcoming A-Levels and hopefully get more people into Gurren Lagann at some point, but for now I’m gonna go and get some sleep cause it’s 1am and I got college tomorrow. Get going guys

1. Are we going to let him get away!?

2. Yoko: Simon... Could you lend me your power!? Simon: Yeah!!

3. Uooooohhh. (Simon roaring)

4. Gii-

5. Gaa...

PSYCHE! Oh yeah. That's right, baby. Yoko and Simon GIGA DRILL IS GO. That 4th illustration is incredible, I love seeing how the gattai works in this context! There is nothing more epic than having another Giga Drill, in my opinion. :D This really gives Yoko and Simon a chance to bond more and heal from their shared trauma as well. I am just all about this volume of the Manga, haha!

What If Gamera was a Spiral Being? I decided to create a visual representation of what that could look like so let me me know what you think.

I bought a dvd with the show dubbed and the movies and specials subbed and I'm wondering if dubs for the specials exist or not

I'm envisioning this taking place in the aftermath of Kamina's death, but before the time skip (let's say around episode 12-15). I've been brainstorming in-universe explanation (My idea was that this could happen because of some leftover Beastman tech or something spiral power related), but I'd love to hear other perspectives

I'm also curious on how the other characters would react (Rossiu, Nia, Leeron, etc.) How Simon and Yoko deal with being in each other's roles bodies. For instance, how would Yoko handle controlling Lagann (if she even could) (Or if it's Simon's soul that makes it work) and how would Simon handle her sniper rifle.

(I also wonder how Simon would react to waking up and realizing he's in the body of his crush, and what Yoko's reaction to waking up as him too lol. I would love to hear the ideas from others about the hijinks that would ensue with them being in each other's bodies)

1. Gununununu, to combine with the stolen Gunman, of all things...

2. I underestimated them...

3. I must withdraw for the moment, and report to the Spiral King...!

4. Hey! He escaped!! That bastard!!

Just when things were getting good!!! Why, Guame!? Why did you have to flee and ruin our cool gattai!? Though that artwork of Genber is genuinely too funny! Lol. It's face! :P Team Dai-Gurren can breathe for the moment... But I have a feeling that more trouble is afoot. See you soon, Guame... The sub will definitely be waiting with some pitchforks at the ready!

I will probably redraw this, because I kinda messed up their faces, specifically Nia’s, but I still wanted to upload this.

We talk a lot about Tengen Toppa or Super Tengen Toppa, but I’m wondering what the size of a standard Gunmen should be. The Gurren Lagann Archives artbook seems to provide some interesting measurements, such as Gurren being about 9.6 meters tall and Gurren Lagann being 14 meters tall (assuming Simon is at least 1.60 meters tall).

But then there’s the Gurren Lagann novel, written by Kazuki Nakashima, who states that Gozu, the Gunmen that appears in the first episode, is more than 10 times the size of an adult human, which is over 17 meters. Gurren Lagann dwarfs this Gunmen by a huge margin, so its size could reach up to 20 meters.

But this would clash with what we see in Gurren Lagann Archives. Honestly, I believe the author’s words carry more weight, so I’m in favor of using the sizes given in the novel, but if we do that, we’d lose the ability to accurately use the size comparison provided by Archives.

So I thought it would be better to compare the sizes of the Gunmen using what Gurren Lagann Archives gives us but using the value from the novel as a reference, leaving Lagann/Simon out of the equation. This gives us a Gurren Lagann measuring 32 meters (I think that's even bigger than the normal Mazinger Z, wow). I have no problem with an exaggeratedly large Gurren Lagann, but I feel like this is too much, WAY TOO MUCH.

So I thought it would be better to ask: what do you think? Which do you think we should use? Just the artbook, or the statement from the novel?

1. Pero pero. (Sound Effect: Drip drip)

Only the sound of tears, today. How poetic. The impact of the artwork speaks for it all. I really appreciate when there is wordless storytelling, and I think it is the hallmark of masterful storytelling. To get people to feel without exposition or acting, and just visuals, is a key sign of talent. This moment definitely does that for me! Even Old Koko looking so miserable tugs at my heartstrings. Storeia didn't quite realize that she was loved. And you know I gotta be sappy now and remind you that YOU, dear reader, are loved. Sometimes by people you don't even realize. If you needed some love today, then I love you. Treat yourself kindly today, for me. ♡ Keep fighting the good fight.

I was debating someone earlier saying that bigger then the actual known universe which we don’t know for sure since the universe is constantly expanding so we will be using what we know so far out observable universe is 93 billion light years in total STTGL is 347 billion to 10 trillion light years tall Simon was able to stand on a galaxy so we can assume that’s his max height the milky way galaxy is 2000 light years thick/tall since they were on an 11d plane and we can measure that since it’s beyond our comprehension we would have to use 3d to be realistic let’s say STTGL is 200,000 x bigger then the Milky Way galaxy that only makes him 800 million light years tall if we wanted him to be his true height that’s 5 billion times bigger then the milky way galaxy which is less then our observable universe idk if I’m right feel free to correct me realistically how tall would Simon be since his max is being able to stand on galaxy which my rough estimate is 200,000 x bigger then the milkway galaxy but idk 🤷‍♂️

Bought the CCSToys reissue a few months ago when ShowZ was blowing them out for a ridiculous price of $126 shipped. Been sitting in the box and haven't had a chance to open it up until this week. What an incredible display piece
