| I guess they're supposed to be like, real-life equilvalents of Kamina and Simon? Yeah, that was kinda weeeeird. I like the song, though. :O |

| I love the alternate Gurren, it looks far better than the original~ |
| Hmm, I gotta side with Pokedude97 on this. The other shorts all had characters we knew, there was no point in having this video with unknown characters. I mean why the fuck is this project being made anyway? Because the fans want more TTGL, not random characters we dont give a shit about. I was watching it thinking "were any of these in the anime? Am I not a fan enough to recognise them? If none of them were and this is a lame 'alternate universe' scenario, then why should I care about anything that is happening on the screen right now?" Lame. There's nothing to establish this is an 'alternate reality' either logi74, because there are no recognisable characters, so it actually isnt an alternate reality. It's an entirely new reality. Its a fanboy vision. This isnt like the dream montage we got near the end of the series, which lends credibility to the other shorts so far. This is more like a fanfic of the early part of the series with made up characters rebelling, while Kamina and co were off doing their own thing a hundred miles away. Still lame. |

| *sighs* It's just not Gurren Lagann without the sunglasses..... |

kie_ said: *sighs* It's just not Gurren Lagann without the sunglasses..... So true, so true. They used one of my favorite songs from the series to make probably the stupidest amv in this project. I really don't understand why you would throw in a different cast of characters here. Dumb idea, very dumb. |
∞      ∞ |
| I'm not 100% sure they're completely new characters. At least the pilot of Lagann resembled something like Gimmy/Kamina, the primary kid standing around resembled Simon a bit, I could have sworn I saw Kinon in there, not to mention a blonde Yoko. Though, as much as it pains me to say it. I did spend the majority of the video deciding, "Who are these people?" Perhaps I overthought it, but I have to agree. I would have preferred seeing characters who are clearly the ones I know. I wouldn't say this was a bad AMV, but it's a shame they used one of the best songs from the series on this. |

| it was ok, but it doesnt feel like ttgl with the new charas meh -,- |
Denizen said: Wow, there is a lot of BAAAAAW MY MIND CANNOT HANDLE THESE STRANGE PEOPLE comments here Didn't anyone with half a brain even ponder the concept that a parallel universe might not include the same people? Is everyone dumb and uneducated? How the hell is it parallel if there are no similar characters at all, genius? More importantly, explain the logic of this project featuring characters nobody's seen before or gives a shit about? This isnt an exploration of fucking string theory is it, its meant to be a fan-appeasing glorified music video extravaganza that's failing harder than you in this thread. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Well this episode was pretty mediocre, if that. |
 |
| Didn't really see the point of this video - just random characters I don't know having a giant robot fight. If I really wanted to see that then I would have actually watched Gundam F-91. |

If I really wanted to see that then I would have actually watched Gundam F-91. I totally agree with you on that. And why don't they make these parallel works with the main characters of the anime? They are just messing with us. I don't even know why am I watching this >.> |
| can someone give me link to episode 5&6 |
| I read somewhere that the characters are meant to be the kids of certain characters. Yoko and Kamina's kid in lagann, maybe kinon and roshiu in gurren, and viral and tsumma's (his partner in the parallel world) daughter in the plane. With Nia and Simon's kid wasting gar genes in the crowd. |

| The New Gurren Lagann was cool and all but i missed the usual characters, overall i place this at third out of the six. But the first one is still the best... |

| I'm 100% certain that these are not new characters. I'm positive that they're simply alternate versions of the characters we know. First character we see, standing in the crowd staring at the cage: Simon Girls in the cage: Kinon, Kiyoh, and Kiyal Red-haired punk: Gimmy Gurren pilot: Darry Pilot of the flying battleship Ganmen: The Anti-Spiral Blond jet (is it a jet?) pilot: Yoko Split-screen Ganmen pilots: Jougan and Barinbou (similar Ganmen, working as a two-man force, seems liks J&B to me) I honestly don't know why people are saying they're new characters. We've known for a long time that these are alternate takes on the characters, setting, etc., so why immediately jump to the conclusion that they must be new characters, just because they look different? They don't all have to feature the exact same things and people we've seen before. |

I guess u could be right,t but they don't look anythin like their counterparts. and the way they looked represented them in the actual series so this is prolly y a lot of us label them as new characters... |
