It's a primordial story that is innately enjoyable to the human psyche. It's been a common story theme well before gainax or any anime, and it'll be a common story theme for as long as humanity exists.

Getter Robo's anime sucks. I say that as someone that grew up with Monster of the Week anime/toku. The format really has hard baked limitations.
Of course the manga is better but then you're better off looking at Shin Getter if you want to trace what Gurren Lagann is really outright stealing (and trying in some ways to be the spiritual final act Shin Getter never got) vs the more general inspiration of things they liked as kids.

To actually answer your question, it's the bright colors. All the explosions and vibrant characterdesigns take full advantage of diverting your attention span. Then it "keeps" you in with the most surface level storytelling ever so it can convince dumbasses that what they're watching has actual substance. But it doesn't because 90% of Team Dai-Gurren does not exist outside of one or two scenes.

I know that’s not true because of the amount of people who don’t get it. Individual growth of one man is tied to the idea of progress as civilization, and there is a nuanced perspective advocating for a synthesis between revolutionaries/anarchists/freedom and rules/law/safety.

I would go as far as to say that part 2 just wasn't very good. The show lost it's identity and tried to be Gundam for a while, and when that failed it just overcompensated by becoming even more goofy and nonsensical which created a huge tonal clash with the whole "Nia's been kidnapped by aliens" thing

The second half explored the fallout of revolution and then taking humanity to the next step into the future, ultimately it was no longer the childish fight of good vs evil, but of order vs chaos, and in the end Simon holding the destiny of humanity in his hands, realized the value of both.

Actually the first half led right into the second, but the themes were obscured behind Kamina’s bravado and the propaganda of the Dai-Gurren struggle. And the execution was very well handled, some people (children) just weren’t ready for the story to be more than just punch harder beat bad thing receive reward. Gurren Lagann recognizes limitations exist, and winning doesn’t always mean you’re rewarded with a happily ever after. You get new struggles and hope.

I’m not claiming it’s deep, but rather, that it has more depth than most of its detractors could handle.
And obviously spelling it out in words will not be as effective as conveying it through the show itself.

How hard is it to just enjoy something?
You'd watch Shigurui and go
>DUUUUUUUDE IT'S JUST LE EPICK TRAGEDY ABOUT LE SAMURAI SOCIETY AND IT'S SUPER GOREY!
Who the fuck cares? It's well-executed. The """""""criticism""""""" is more often than not super forced and just the regular contrarian retard having a mental breakdown over people enjoying something entertaining. The moment retards recognize that entertaining things are entertaining they should stop caring about having this reddit-tier superiority complex over fucking nothing.

That one is actually an old criticism, they’re just mad that their favorite thing is more obscure despite being older. I never thought putting down the more popular thing was very effective in getting people to read Getter, Devilmanfags piggybacked off of Eva threads much more politely and now many people know Devilman and Getter is still just /m/core outside of bitching in TTGL threads.

You don’t have to like anything, but if you actually liked anime you’d be too busy talking about what you like instead of digging up classics to berate.
And if you’re gonna go against the grain, you can come with interesting criticisms from a common place as an anime fan, rather than an outsider child perspective with nothing interesting to say “it’s shit because I’m a big boy”, nice take idiot.

I’m gonna lay it out so simply that even your peabrain can understand.
You were given a sincere read on TTGL’s themes. You took that sincere post, and dismissed it with childish mocking. In so doing, you’ve made the determination that you are above a sincere critical discussion of the work, and you’re just here to sperg out like an angry child. Now you’re coping about bots in the walls.

So dora is a show made to educate children while gurren lagann is a show parents throw on to keep kids from bouncing off the wall. If anything I see more value in the former based on your descriptions of them.

Insulting is fine, if you have substance to back it up. You decided you didn’t want to talk seriously, so I’m treating you as the unserious person you are. It’s a bit of a time waster, sure, but I’ve enjoyed bullying an idiot.

Actually I grew up with both. Around 16 I grew out of shit like gurren lagann which is just retarded super robot fights with no depth and a few years later I grew out of dora since the thematic depth was lacking in later seasons. The point is they're both shows for young people and anyone with a brain will see more value in deeper shows like Monster and Re Zero that actually cover concepts like loss in a meaningful way.

Dropped at episode 1 it just felt like a crappy anime for children that people only enjoy because they watched it while they were kids, like Dragon Ball. It's not something you can enjoy watching for the first time as an adult in 2025.

Steins;Gate is undeniably overrated. It is always the "best anime ever" in the opinion of every normalfag that does not consider themselves normalfags, ie. anyone that watched something slightly less popular than attack on titan or one of the big 3.

This board needs to instaban every retard who uses this buzzword.
Slop is meant for cheap, low quality, endlessly produced crap on a regular basis for profit, like fast food or made in china shit.
Fucking insane there are dipshits who used that buzzword to describe a one-of-a-kind ended story that never got a sequel in nearly 2 decades and was never necromanced or zombiefied for cheap nostalgia.

Faggots like OP are either mentally unstable faggots who go into meltdown mode every time they see anything resembling popularity, or tryhard underages who think they are "cool" for not liking stuff that's generally critically acclaimed.

Nah, 15 years after watching I still rate is as one of my all-time favourites. The arc with Rossiu being a mopey cunt drags it down a bit, but it's still an all-time great. Also, TTGL is inspired by many things besides Getter Robo, but it wears its inspirations with sincerity.
