I Failed At Anime 2022
I watched whatever that movie is that's like the first two episodes and that was more than enough LOGH for me.

Gurren Lagann isn't really doing it for me. I'm going to give it one more episode and if I still can't get back into it I'll switch over to LOGH.

If you must blink, do it now.
Don't skip the OPs or EDs for LOGH.

Do skip the next episode previews. The narrator loves to blurt out things like TUNE IN NEXT TIME WHEN COMMANDER BOB GUNDERWACK DIES.

I find that hard to believe, considering there's not a single japanese character, the good guys are a multi-racial alliance, and the bad guys are a ethnically homogenous bunch of space nazis (at least they started out as space nazis, they turned into decadent space junkers).

Episode 11. I was really into it earlier but there has been too much moping going on for my liking.

Actually, if you've already watched episode 11, you should already be past the part where the moping is officially over.

if you don't like gurren lagann you don't like gurren lagann. if you keep listening to people who tell you 'it gets better!' you'll have watched the whole thing anyway.

I always 'enjoyed' the show in a casual sort of way, but it wasn't until it revealed where it was going with certain things that I really began to 'appreciate' it.

That said, it does suffer from a few early spotty episodes. If you didn't enjoy the first three though, you're probably wasting your time.

LOGH is probably one of my favorite shows but I cannot imagine ever watching it again.

I mean, maybe in a decade or something.

The thing about Gurren Lagann is that aside from some cast changes and plot developments, what you see is basically what you get. It's just that you get more of it. Escalating on an exponential scale.

I felt the second half of Gurren Lagann was a huge improvement over the first, though I don't think it's the sort of improvement that makes it worthwhile if you really dislike the first half.

I doubt it, the PS 4 is already as compact as it's going to get for a while.

I've seen it twice thanks to that simulwatch in TVIV years ago. That was pretty fun since it was a lot of people who really would not have normally bothered with the show.

According to the wikipedia, the PS1 got a slimmer version in 6 years, the PS2 in 4 years, and the PS3 in 3 years. The PS4 came out a year and a half ago, so like, maybe this holiday season, if they want to continue the trend of smaller amounts of time before redesigns, but I wouldn't count on it.
