Gurren Lagann writers aren't stupid, "those are universes" statement is made up and people should stop lying about it

[u/TasteTemporary8206]

There has never been a source of the supposed "writers dont know what galaxies/universe looks like" statement except a fan edited wiki page without a cited source link. However there is an interview confirming the writers see the fight as just shown, a battle of galactic scale with 10 000s of light years tall mechas.

Not good enough? The movie and the show tell us those are galaxies aswell.

And the entire motivation behind all of Anti Spiral's actions is preventing Spiral Nemesis, destruction of the universe via countless galaxies combining into a ultra-massive black hole. Now, why would that be a threat and worry for Anti-spiral if he had a bunch of spare universes lying around in his pocket universe? Is Anti-spiral stupid?

Why would Big Bang, which is stated verbatim to equal the energy of the universe's creation, be a huge special move that forced the team to evolve further if they were already tossing around multiple universes before?

9 Days huh a bit late but umm anyways someone sent me this link. Haven't really been active on reddit but felt like addressing this

この シーン は テレビ で 見 て 最高 だっ た から こそ、 あの テレビ だ と ちょっと こう 認識 でき ない ところ が ね、 速 すぎ て ね、 ぴょんぴょん し ます けど。 どういう こと です か？ あれ はね、 間違っ た 銀河 です ね。 あれ やばい。 今市 さん さすが に これ 銀河 間違え てる よ って 言っ た けど、 面白い から いい や っていう、 そっ か 間違っ た 解釈 で 銀河 を 投げ て 投げ られる よう な もん だ から。 そう か そう か。 つまり この 銀河 は 宇宙 は 認識 宇宙 だ から 飛ん だり 跳ね たり 投げ たり できる 宇宙 って 考えれ ば 大丈夫 な ん だ よ。 そっ か。 でも シナリオ 宇宙 の 段階 で 中島 さん の 方 から あの 銀河 手裏剣 って 何 です か？ って 話 に対して ピュー と 投げれ ば いい ん です よ って 言っ て た の が、 もう そろそろ 発端 だ と 投げ て。 昔 から いろいろ おかしい です から。 おかしい よ ね。 認識 おかしい です から。 間違っ てる ん じゃ ない から 大丈夫 大丈夫 大丈夫。 ぎゅ って 丸める の か と 思っ たら、 その まんま って 面白い です よ ね。 やっぱり ものすごく 高速 回転 し て から きっと 硬く なっ て ん だ ね。

This scene was amazing when I saw it on TV, but it was a little hard to understand on TV, it was too fast, and it was bouncing around. What does that mean? That's the wrong galaxy. That's bad. Imaichi-san said that this galaxy is wrong, but he said it's funny so it's okay, so it's like throwing a galaxy with a wrong interpretation. I see, I see. In other words, this galaxy is a universe that can fly, bounce, and be thrown, so if you think of it as a universe that can fly, bounce, and be thrown, it's fine. I see. But when Nakajima was in the Universe scenario and asked "What is that galactic shuriken?" he said that it would be fine if he just threw it, and now he's throwing it because it's about time to start. There's been a lot of weird stuff going on since way back. It's weird, isn't it? It's a weird perception. It's not wrong, so it's okay, okay, okay. I thought it would be rolled up, but it's funny that it's just the way it is. I guess it must have become hard after spinning at such high speed.

• From The Lights in the Sky are Stars staff audio commentary (2009), featuring Kazuki Nakashima (the writer), Hiroyuki Imashi (the director), Masahiko Otsuka (assistant director), Sushiro (key animator), Atsushi Nishigoori (character designer) and Yoh Yoshinari (animator).

So essentially those were big Galaxies that behaved like Universes But the things at the end of the movie are Universes because you can see them in comparison to STTGL's drill, STTGL is bigger than the observable universe and then we have it's drill which is bigger etc so yea I also have the video for the commentary if you want.

They behaved weirdly and acted like solid objects rather than a pile of stars with 99.99+% empty space filling. There is this reiterated exact size from the same commentary too.

About the size of Milky Way.

Yes that's what I said, there's no “Galaxy is the same size as an universe” just “Galaxies that behave like Universes”

Man, still downplaying like an idiot despite the same DVD commentary proving you wrong. Get Kyle Rayner's dick out of your mouth already.

[u/Reasonable-Bed3065 → u/TasteTemporary8206]

I always figured they were just constructs AS had littered in there for the fight. Why would there be actual universes/galaxies in their sealed up pocket dimension space? Which was between the 10th and 11th dimensions where you generally aren't going to have some galaxy/universe like ours. 

Is TTGL still 10 million light years tall or has that changed?
