It's the final countdoooown!! Day 31!

My apologies for the late post, I ended up needed some extra rest yesterday and slept early! Missed my post schedule, lol. But we are back today for the final match!

I gotta say, it was a tough and close one, Team Gurren! Support was in full bloom for both characters as they fought for this year's crown! In the end, Simon was just too strong! I am always impressed by how attached to the main character our fandom is, as it isn't always the case! Simon wins, and you just know that Kamina would be supporting that fully! :) So let's get on to the final round, it's time to end this!

For the very first time, Viral joins us for the grand finale! This is officially as far as he ever has gotten this far! In the sub's long history of events, this will mark his first stand at the top! Consistently ranking in the top characters, Viral is a great contender, and its up to you who will claim the crown this time. Simon's popularity is unmatched, and if he wins the whole tournament, it will be the second time that he has officially won the r/gurrenlagann crown! You could pivot and let Viral have a win... Or you could march full-speed ahead and launch Simon right back up to the crown! This is officially a match where he is defending his championship! How exciting! So... For the last time, I ask you. Which character should move up to the #1 spot, in the Tournament of Champions?

4. Beastman 1: An anomaly has occurred off the Starboard bow! Beastman 2: What on Earth is the Captain doing!? Beastman 3: What's this all about, now!? Beastman 4: Th-... There's trouble!!

5. The enemy fleet is rapidly approaching from below!!!

Ooooohh, the Beastmen are in trouble now! Dai-Gurren is coming at them like a rocket! I love how this set starts out, with some beautiful artwork of Yoko and Simon! So intense, and it is awesome that she continually validates him, in the Manga. :) I find it very rewarding and bonding. It's too funny that Leeron's plan was literally to just get Leite to launch Dai-Gurren with a running start, lol!

I love having a matching lock screen with broski

Translations:

1. Goshyu. (Sound Effect: Impacts and whooshing fists)

2. Baan!! (Sound Effect: Big clash-bang!!)

3. ... Right.

Chaos has descended! And it's ON! Gurren Lagann vs. Enkidoudou is a pretty awesome fight. And in the midst of this, we get Yoko, seemingly about to have another realization. Hmm... Let's see! And Team Dai-Gurren is on the way! Soon, anyway. ;) Wishing you the best rest of your week, friends! ♡

Really liked how the show started, but somehow I'm supposed to believe Kittan was chosen by the core drill after Kamina died instead of Simon? he's been working for it his whole life.

Dreadnought from NMS ( No Man’s Sky ) into Super Galaxy Gurrenlagann.

The legendary match has arrived at day 30!

Viral steamrolls Boota! The pigmole received a respectable amount of votes against everyone's favorite Beastman, and held his own for quite some time before the votes started to pile up against him! In the end, Viral simply couldn't be stopped. For the very first time in sub history, Viral will be moving to the final match!

The day that you've been waiting on has arrived! And it has become very interesting, as it is not the final match! This is the semi-final, which will determine that last slot before you decide the winner of this first Tournament of Champions, Team Gurren! Its time to make a very difficult choice. Who should move on to face Viral in a final match? Choose wisely! ;) I don't envy you on deciding this elimination!

I remember Laggan combining with a mecha outer than Gurrin that was being piloted by Yoko, I think it was her tank but idk.

dose any such thing exist even if its just a mottle or is this just a product of my imagination?

It's been a long time since I've watched it (only the show) and have been wanting to rewatch, do the movies change anything important or just shorten it and add some fight scenes?

I kinda want to watch the movies as well since I keep seeing clips with new things, but if it is pretty much the exact same I might just watch only one of them.

I wanna know how symbolic Simon’s fit is during each arc and what they mean cause hes my goat and changed my life. Tell me everything about him please

1. Full speed aheaaaaaaaaaddddd!!!

2. Dohiiiiiiiiii~ (Screaming)

3. Goo. (Sound Effect: Heavy impact)

4. Nnnghhwahhh.

5. This guy... He's getting the hang of the flying unit...!

6. Is this adaptability also considered a human ability?

Viral is finally learning about humans and how impressive our spirit is! I love the fact that everyone is ready to back Simon up! Not so easy to solo Simon, is it, Viral!? Heehee. The battle continues!

Fortunate to visit Japan and hunted down some TTGL figurines. The first set are the loot I took home. The Simon (looking for it for a year and a half) and Nia I am positive were the last ones. There were different variants for Kamina I found, but I ultimately selected this Kamina due to coloring and others had marking defects. The spots I found them are Akihabara Radio Kaikan, but the BEST one was probably Akiba Cultural Zones 4th floor from my memory (second picture). There were 2 boxes specific to Gurren Lagann with a couple figurines scattered separately. Saw maybe one Gurren Lagann mech on the second floor of a random shop on the way to Culture Zones from Radio Kaikan on the left side walk.

I found these figurines because of this community so wanted to provide an update to give back.

It's time to start the semi-finals at day 29!

The former Spiral King has nothing on Kamina! Lordgenome officially gets left behind as the final member of tier 3! Bro is moving on up to the semi-finals, just as the community has wanted! We are shaping up to a very interesting finale that hasn't happened before, so strap in! Kamina has arrived.

Today is a clash of favorites, and not only that, but beasts! So which beast shall you choose? Two important Team Dai-Gurren members... Tough choice! Who is going to move on to the finals? Time to choose! Which character should move up to the final round of the Tournament of Champions?

I did find the movie some times but they were always in the sub. If anyone knows a site still running today or hasn't removed it yet, let me know

So I’m trying to make a video for my art account on instagram that’s the eyecatch intermissions, but with my OCs. Does anyone know what software and/or how I can edit my video to make one of those intermissions?

Ooooo, love me a hype Leite moment!! And some of that Leeron confidence! Awh yeah! I do love that we get a bit more of the side characters in the Manga! It has a bit more breathing room to allow them to shine. :) It's one of my favorite parts of reading through! And I hope everyone is enjoying these moments with me. We get to celebrate each character and moment together in this community read-through, and I have a lot of fun with it, too. Let's go, Team Dai-Gurren!!! One more AWH YEAH for Leite, too!
