YEEEAAAH THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO WATCH GURREN LAGANN.
I will explain why I dont like that on thing with her because its not what most people think the reason is also spoiling it because its a spoiler@Sanoblaze does that one thing have to do with her? I think the whole show is perfect, but it's understandable why you wouldn't like that part of the ending.
The thing is that Nia isn't a warrior, she's what the warriors fought for. Nia's role in the show was to serve as a symbol, she was meant to be the personification of what everyone was fighting for.
Love, hope, freedom, life, these are all things that are brought to mind whenever Nia is on screen. "Nia" is what drove the whole plot of Gurren Lagann. It wouldn't make any sense for the thing that everyone fought for to disappear before the final battle was finished.
It was perfectly fitting for her to fade away once the war was won. From a symbolic perspective Nia was a goal, and once that goal was achieved she couldn't stick around.
no I meant like after the final blow was struck THEN she dies. I get what she was meant for but I really felt she deserved to go out like right then and there when they won. I get what she stands for but I still would've preferred she died after the smoke cleared, not after they planned and set up the wedding and all that. it just feels like a hindsight of the cost of the battle and not a meaning to me.
again, I don't hate GL for it, it just kinda is like an aftertaste that makes me wary of taking a sip again.
I get what you're saying, but there would be a big problem with Nia dying right after the end of the final battle.
It wouldn't have been a happy ending.
If Nia didn't fade away peacefully at the end of a beautiful wedding then the final battle would have felt more like a loss than a victory. Kamina, Kittan, and the other martyrs of Team Dai Gurren didn't sacrifice their lives so that Simon and Nia could be tragically torn apart in a single moment. They died so that they could live together happily, even if it was for a short ten days. The way Nia died was probably the happiest way she could have gone, that was the point.
That doesn't really make me want to watch it...
To me, Gurren was always about "You can accomplish ANYTHING if believe hard enough!"
It's more like forging your own destiny despite the hand that fate deals you.
Woah woah woah hold up, you're a wrestler too!?
I wrestled in high school, I play Rugby now.
So there's Me, Dinglejet, and iLoli (Surprisingly) who are on the list of forum wrestlers, and we're automatically the toughest guys here because of it.
Don't even joke about that man, we hear enough of that shit and we're tired of beating people up over it.
Sorry I'm just puffing my chest, I don't actually beat people up over that.
Oh man is my taste in anime really that predictable?
I think you mean my status, hang on... Oh shit you're right, that's an unfortunate coincidence.
