Saw random threads made about it but never FOR it. So here it is.

Description:

Well even though the show got over, it still deserves its own thread. Put all things TTGL here.

Btw: Anyone know where I can get the 2 sound clips of the music which played during the 2 image breaks in the mid half of each episode?

Never made it past the 7th episode or so.. I should probably try and finish this and some of the other 100+ shows I already have stalled. But I hear it's good, a good over-the-top mecha anime.

I thought it was ok. Dunno what to say really other than yeah, over the top describes it well.

That... and Nia had the most annoying voice of any character in a series I've actually watched to completion.

It sucked until about the 7-8th episode, then it took a turn for the better. The second half was brilliant. And the ending was... well... very, very good.

I can't agree with you more. Her voice was unbearable.

For me, the show had some extreme ups and downs. One moment I absolutely loathe it, a few episodes later, I love it again. General consensus is an epic first and last arc, middle is hard to watch. Overall a good show, and yes it gets better, just trudge through the annoying bits.

also on the animation you can see all the FLCL-ness

IIRC the animatos from FLCL were involved also

I think I only got to episode 2 or 3. It is hard to take an anime seriously when you see one of these things hanging out:

I've heard that this anime is great and the ending is unbelievable but seriously... What the hell is that thing?!? And how did I find it by searching "grape hippo?!?

The action scenes are truly EPIC...Very rare do you get see an action anime reach such levels of awesomeness

Holy sh!t... I watched till episode 26 today and I'm really really impressed by the story. Never have I seen an anime pull of so many things in the span of 26 (1 is recap) episodes!! Wow I am totally speechless. To think it even managed to fit a time jump in it... now that is AWESOME! Too bad I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch the final episode on my TV. Must hold off watching on the 19" PC monitor !

I think seven episodes is enough to decide whether you will like TTGL or not. I my opinion the start was great, until a certain incident. The middle was decent and ending was good. Overall a very good over-the-top anime.

wylie · « **Reply #11 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:35:30 AM »

Really amazing ending... wow. On a side note, I finally got the dvd set for TTGL!! This was definitely worth it.

Second movie trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQPRbLNohAQ&feature=player_embedded

newy · « **Reply #14 on:** January 30, 2010, 09:44:11 PM »

Why only the trailer? Go to BSS and get the movie itself

They have released it today.

deadskin · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2010, 10:21:32 PM »

I was under the impression that it hasn't been released to DVD yet.

Great news anyhow.

macros74 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2010, 10:24:41 PM »

About those movies...

I read somewhere that the first movie is a compilation of the first 15 or so episodes of the TV series (with some added/new footage), can I assume this second movie is a follow up to that?

newy · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2010, 10:27:17 PM »

Probably. At least that's what AniDB says to both of them.

MammalSauce · « **Reply #18 on:** January 31, 2010, 11:03:21 PM »

I dropped the series about an episode or two after

Kamina died.

Yeah, to be honest, I dropped it as well, though it wasn't so much about him. He was awesome though.
