| It's not so similar that you can predict one just by watching the other. |

| No they're not that similar and it really doesn't matter in which order you watch them. |

(I could cleary point the EVA and Pacific Rim inspiration) So have I been spoiled in some way that by watching Darling in the Franxx. Will I be able to predict the plot of Gurren Lagann. Would love to hear your opinion without being spoiled in any way. It has a similar arc structure and has mechs, thats about it. well, you could say that overall story and world structure of all three mecha's are similar, and you probably already know what im talking about, by watching eva and franxx, and it is very very insignificant info to know about, so it wont spoil you anything, cuz by the right time, the thing that is happening will become obvious by itself. and if you dont, then you have nothing to worry about for sure, since all three have pretty much different plots, to the point of having completely different messages and story centering. |

| I also watched TTGL after Franxx (which I stopped caring about 3/4 in the arc) but despite that I loved it. Even if you know the plot structure beforehand it won't matter much; in fact, the opening scene is a flashforward to the final battle. What truly puts it in a league of its own compared to franxx is the fact the actually build up the story to make the "aliens were the real villain" plot twist make sense and it also develops the main cast. Also, since you've seen Eva recently, you might appreciate the similarities between the series but with the complete opposite message. Eva is nihilistic and pessimistic, Gurren Lagann is idealistic and optimistic. |

| Gurren Lagann is the pinnacle of mecha. That being said, I don't actually watch much mecha. Either way, you should definitely give it a shot |

Would love to hear your opinion without being spoiled in any way. im gonna be honest, for me personally watching gurren lagann felt like a very predictable experience once i had watched a few episodes. i had high hopes that it'd take the excellent artstyle some place meaningful but instead for me it ended up a waste of time. felt like the "just do it" commercial of anime. if that's your thing, cool, but it's not really mine. others think it's a masterpiece though, so might as well give it a shot, right? anyways gurren lagann is at least closer to kill la kill than darling in the franxx, but that's about the highest praise i can give it lol. when i watched i was like... never been this disappointed since s1 of code geass lmao. like code geass s1, the openings and endings get you so hype for thinking it could be ur new fav but then the show itself is either too predictable or too reserved in it's writing. naturally the art is fucking amazing but that goes for most anime honestly. i'd literally rather watch Ninja Slayer The Animation than Gurren Lagann though. that's some real good Trigger shit 😭 |

| Gurren Laggan is a predictable trash. Haven't watched DiTF but if they are similar i won't rec watching DiTF, since i don't want you to experience another garbage. |

Either way, you should definitely give it a shot >Pinnacle of mecha Never watched Gundam, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo and other 70s and 80s mecha. Gurren Laggan is cheap Getter Robo rip off and sucks ass. Stop throwing words like "pinnacle" when you don't have much experience with that genre. |
| Gurren lagann is something like no other,u wont find anything like that in the entire medium. ps:i aint claiming that u'll like it |

Eva is nihilistic and pessimistic, Gurren Lagann is idealistic and optimistic. Bro you just spoiled me with that "Alien" part. You could have marked that part as spoiler. Though I do agree with your Eva's nihilistic and pessimistic approach especially in The end of Eva. Anno corrected that approach in the rebuild movies. They showed hope, beleif and optimism. Basically they just reflected Anno's state of mind at the time of their respective making. I didn't consider a spoiler because it's in literally the first scene of the first episode. What happens in Franxx is what happens in TTGL but without the build-up and foreshadowing. I won't elaborate how TTGL makes that twist make perfect sense within the story because THAT is a spoiler. |

Start with Getter Robo Armageddon to see where Imaishi cribbed from. Then Kidou Senshi Gundam and Densetsu Kyoujin Ideon to see where Anno has cribbed from since I bet you also coom to Evanjelly Donuts girls. I used to be similar to you. But then I got enlightened that Gainax is nothing but a bunch of omages after omage. nah,i've got a life to live,unlike u |

Jatin587 said: There is nothing wrong with that, and You are really getting the wrong idea here bro. There are tons of users on Mal who have all of their favs as males and are not who you think they are. I don't have an issue with anyone's fav characters or their personal preferences, and also I may be wrong regarding the context of your comment. Just replying as this is the first time I have seen someone say this. I just wanted to ask :( I didn't want to offense you. Sorry. |
