to be fair, the only way GL could get more awesome at this point is if it somehow managed to give me a blowjob while i was watching it

You say that, but I bet you change your tune in a few weeks.

KLK's is better because it's not pretentious as gently caress, yes

It's the exact opposite of pretentious even though it doesn't really make up for all the bullshit in the later half of the show.

The end of this show is bad, how's that for pessimistic

The end of TTGL, like all Imashi works, makes up for the bad poo poo that starts creeping in after the halfway point. Same applies to KLK, and debateably PSG.

Also since I missed KLK chat the first OP runs till like episode 16 or something, the better one only has a few episodes. Also did they cut it at all like they do for the rest of them?

Said it before but I honestly loved GL the first time I watched it. It was my gateway to the genre and for the most part I'm okay with it.

It's just that as I watched and read a lot of the poo poo it cribbed from, a whole lot about it (namely toward the end) became worse and just felt hollow and weightless compared to its inspirations.

Enjoy the show, by all means. It's pretty easy to do so, especially on first watch.

Ending scenes still blow rear end, tho.

Yeah, I mean, it's dumb, but I didn't really expect anything more, whereas GL tries to pull the rug out from under you in a way that rings hollow.

Argus Zant: Nov 18, 2012; Wer ist bereit zu tanzen?

it's good that Ross is admitting that he's a pathetic piece of poo poo compared to Simon

hopefully he will now go to his cabin and hang himself with his own belt

It features a caped figure (one that we now know is Simon) on the bridge of a massive battleship (one we now know was formerly the Moon) in space as poo poo everywhere blows up, what doesn't make sense

see, if the Truth council had any loving Spiral Power, they would go out there and physically bitch-slap the cigarettes out of people's mouths until nobody wanted to smoke anymore for fear of being slapped

but instead they're like Ross: weak, ineffective cockgobblers who can only sit and whine about how the universe is not re-shaping itself to appease their bullshit

Man this is an amazing episode! The whole thing just fills me with excitement. Every time I watch this part I'm exclaiming internally, "why are y'all so calm? You just averted the apocalypse! Get the party started already!"

Except if you go back and watch that scene there's about eight things that don't fit, one of them being that he's wearing Kamina's dad's cape, which Simon doesn't have.

We already established that this was something they were planning for the second half, but things changed so now it's just a weird AU thing.

Wait are you telling me that an Imashi anime has a bunch of plotlines that are hinted at the beginning and then mysteriously drop out, never to be seen again!!!! :aaaaa:

i just sorta figured that the prologue bit was meant to be a scene from the original war between humanity and the Anti-spirals, rather than a flash-forwards

There are a few very specific things that make it obvious it's a flash forward.

With PSG, it just felt like they had run out of ideas near the end, especially with episode 10, which was just a bunch of half-baked ideas thrown together.
