Since I'm bored and have nothing else to do, I'm starting up a little series of blogs for those anime/manga fans out there and even those who aren't big fans to see how it affected my life. I can imagine that some people would think it's stupid that something like this can profoundly change the way you live but watching/reading these series have really changed who I am as a person and I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't watched these.
First on the list is probably the most hyped anime in the list.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
+ Show Spoiler [What it looks like] +
+ Show Spoiler [What it feels like] +
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Gurren Lagann in english) is the story of a 14-year old, Simon, who lives in his underground village. If you're an anime vet, you can think of Shinji from NGE, and you basically get Simon. Despite being capable, he doesn't have any confidence in himself. As an obvious contrast to this, his hyper-confident and rebellious "Blood Brother", Kamina, often takes him along whenever he does stuff.
Without spoiling too much, Simon and Kamina make it to the surface world and immediately make enemies of the aptly named beastmen, who live on the surface and surpress human presence topside. Various things happen which are rather difficult to explain without spoilers. The story kicks into high gear by episode 8 so make sure not to quit before then. The anime's divided into two parts. Part one and two are seven years apart in the timeline and both are absolutely spectacular.
The hype for this anime may be a bit overblown, but it's pretty deserving. The genre is mecha, giant robots fighting, but the real focus of the anime is the story, character development and morals. You can watch for the epic battle scenes and testosterone overdose, or you could watch for the inspirational foundation at the core. Or both. I chose both.
This anime taught me to:
1. Believe in myself. Believe that nothing is out of reach for my own capabilites and to not be afraid. I think this is the biggest lesson I learned. No matter what happens, never give up.
2. Always move forward. It's okay to look back at what you did, but never let it stop you from what you are doing and what you're going to do in the future.
3. Make your own rules. If you don't think something in the law is right then don't accept it. Argue it, go against it and do what you think is right.
Watching it gave me such a huge boost in my life. Whenever I feel down, I listen to this track from the anime and it gives me so much confidence. I absolutely recommend this anime to anyone and everyone. Gets your emotional stuff together and will kick any depression right out of you.

Wait THIS changed your life... It's just over the top phallic imagery+supermecha+manly caveman pandering to our id. That being said, I loved it when I saw it. But not life changing lol :D Though your three lessons you learnt from it are taught I guess in the anime. But it's nothing you shouldn't already know about yourself.

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?
Gurren Lagann....its been a while.

I loved this anime. True, it did get completely out of hand near the end, but that is one of the reasons why it was great, and i felt inspired in a similar manner as the OP after watching it.
|
Ahah, wow! When I read the thread title before I clicked it, I thought of this anime too, had the same effect on me. And then when you mentioned that you listened to a certain song to get you up, I thought the same thing. Agree strongly with your feelings towards this anime (:
Note to self: Rewatch!

It's all about where you were in your life when you watched it. Different people can get different things out of it really.. I know that Sailor Moon hugely impacted my life and really changed the way I thought about things. But most people just think of it as a really girly children's show.

Death Note changed my life. I don't tell people my real name anymore.

Hey! I now know where the chick with the flame bikini and skull in her hair comes from. I had seen her pop up a few times here and there, but I can't just search for "the chick with the flame bikini and skull in her hair." But now I know.
And knowing is half the battle.

To the OP, good post. I liked it and needless to say, Gurren Lagann was and is one of my favorite anime and perhaps my only favorite mecha anime (lol).
Will look forward to the next blog

i liked gurren lagann. i wouldnt say it changed my life, though. like many animes, it has nice life lessons to learn and if youve learned from them, more power to you.
dragonball z changed my life. never wake up early on saturday mornings because it will only result in disappointment when they start their journey on namek all over for no reason.

TTGL, oh well, one of the most disappointing series ever...next to the first FMA(didn't watch the second and won't anyway).

The funny thing is, every other typical shounen anime teaches that as well.

Honestly I felt like the battles in TTGL were all the same. Team Gurren gets smacked around a bit, then they transform/unleash their super mega attack to defeat the enemy in a single blow. There are hardly any scenes where blows were evenly dealt. I liked the anime, but I mean common, what is this, DBZ with robots??

Manga taught me more than anime

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is so over the top it's hilarious. It parodies and takes to the extreme practically every single mecha anime trope, but darn does it do it well.

FLCL taught me to do that in less time.

honey and clover helped reinforce my emo loser outlook on love and life

I'll be honest. I watched the first 3-4 episodes of TTGL a couple of years ago and was completely unimpressed. Maybe I'll give it another go since so many people like it.
+1 for FLCL
K-On taught me that no matter how hard I wish, I will never be a Japanese schoolgirl T_T

the only anime that ever changd my life was Dragonball it taught me that if you scream more you will become stronger its kinda true in a way.
I dont watch anime but i will try this one out because it clearly changed your life.

Definitely Clannad and Clannad:Afterstory. Cried like 27 times and realized the beauty and importance of family. I still think about it today every now and then and I still get chills down my spine. An absolute masterpiece.

MY DRILL IS THE THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!
|
I look down on people who openly talk about anime, because I'm a hypocritical judging asshole and associate the interest with the worst of losers. I clicked this thread with the sole intent to make fun of people in my head. But fuck... Gurren Lagann is such a legitimate choice for this. I approve and salute you OP.
Yotsubato! has probably been more of a lifechanger than any other anime/manga for me. I'm one of those loners that lives with minimal emotion and thinks he's the next Dexter. Yotsuba showed me that I still have a heart and that I need to get over myself.
|
It was only good up til+ Show Spoiler +then it became complete shit. I watched this after many recommendations and was thoroughly disappointed.
|
YOURS IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS, OP. You should definitely watch some Star Driver too, it's fabulous :D

Gurren Lagann is a really really great anime, I love it a lot.
Due to the limited funidng, Gainax has to squeeze a 100+ episodes mecha anime into 26 (6 months) time slot. That is why it is so epic. as you get epic plot and climax of 1 season into a 20 min episode.
However, I understand this whole anime differently, what you like is the "main plot", the super mecha story. What I like is actually the "shadow plot", it is actually a story about anti-hero, as those Gainax are all 40+ years old otaku that enjoy making fun of their own otakuness.
This is how I understand this anime:
Main plot: grand summary of all the "normal story" and stereotypical scene of omecha oldies:
Just like all the super mecha anime that the authors watched in the 60s~80s, the main character will defeat evil empires/ invaders that also has robots. Main character does NOT change their robot, they can only upgrade them. When you believe that your robot is strong, it actually becomes stronger. Girls have big boobs, men fight without any need for strategies; most importantly thou shall not promise a girl anything before a big battle.....
Shadow plot: While those Gainax otaku love their old mecha animes, when they start to go into the real adult society, they see how stupid those ideas are (love, justice, friendship...). So they make fun of it in the anime.
Main character is actually not the one who is most masculine. Important character can die, prince and princess cannot be live together happily ever after. Different ideas of "good" actually exist!
Most importantly, there is an ANTI HERO theme:
Most mecha protagonist fight for what they believe is correct; but in Gurren Lagann, what Simon believes is is actually a lie. The bad guys are not bad, they try to protect the same people Simon wants to protect. (big big irony here, as the power of robot come from his own self-confident, which turns out to be a wrong believe.)
Hero is not invincible, they can die.
Sometimes, even the hero cannot save the world, you need to sacrifice a small group of people to benefit the whole.
His own teammate does NOT want to rely on his power and use politics to rebuild the world. He is also betrayed by the very people he "helped". People blame the hero for saving them, as they did not ask to be saved.
Hero cannot save his girl.
The hero become a lonely old man, not taking any power or fame after his victory. He will certainly die without his wife and children around him.

GTO was a great show/story. True, a bit over the top like any anime, but reminds you that most teachers are actually in for it because they love it, even if the kids stress them all to hell and back.

You know that whole show is just an allegory for intercourse right?

Watching Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack changed my life. It made me an activist for space colonization and change my major to Astroengineering.
K-ON changed my life too. It made me stop wasting my time watching crappy recylced moe-blob/ecchi/crap animes that make my brain melt with their... nothingness. They can't even be called Slice of Life. The only Slice of Life anime that I've seen that's ACTUALLY Slice of Life is Honey and Clover. And that anime was awesome.

This blog is about Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, but there is not a SINGLE mention of Gunbuster? And you call yourselves anime and/or mecha fans? I am sad.
I admit, I loved TTGL. But then I saw Gunbuster.
Not only are they made by the same studio (Gainax), but TTGL borrows many of the themes seen in Gunbuster (make your own rules; you can do anything; etc.). Not only that, but Gunbuster also has some of the best and most accurate science that you will ever see in a sci-fi show. And Gunbuster is only six episodes. No excuse to not watch it, IMO.

Chalk up another Clannad vote. Such a beautiful anime.
I even played the VN... still haven't gotten to AS (lol).
I will always remember the scene from the anime where Akio rushes in to tell Nagisa that his dreams did not die the day she was born- she became his dream from that day. :<
Gawd. I never thought that an anime could deliver such a message. Mantears.

Man, I like K-On. It's light and fun nothing more nothing less. If you were looking for some in-depth story with multi-layered characters then maybe watching a show about highschool girls forming a band isn't for you. I couldn't get into Honey and Clover because the art is pretty bad. Not to mention the main girl looks like she is 8 and that bugged me quite a bit. Clannad/Clannad After Story is the winner for me. Good all around beginning to end. Though, you have to watch it start to finish or it'll leave the wrong impression.

I wanted to inform fellow otaku's that how to get a girl portrayed in anime is not how it works in America. I've seen many of my friends who love anime fail to hook up with a girl they have been seeing especially the fact that shes into anime too.
In animes, they often show guys taking their girl aside and confessing their love with a I like you. My friend tried that to this girl even I have tried that to a girl before. After a great time hanging out, I told her I like her. She thought it was weird and it never worked for me or my friend. IMO what does work and the correct way to play is be manly and stay confident, never say anything along those lines about how you feel. You have to show it. You just kiss her. And the kiss should be done sometime between date 1-3 or else it'll probably never happen.

This sort of has nothing to do with anime, but they do make everyone seem like giant sissies when it comes to the opposite sex a majority of the time. Sometimes that's just how people are though. I have known plenty of girls to fall into that super shy and cutesy category. Same goes for knowing guys that are think headed and retarded when it's obvious to everyone else that can breathe that a girl likes him. It's just shit that happens. There is no right way or wrong way to go about your business with the opposite sex.

Robotech Macross Saga best anime ever
Gurren Lagann was good, if overhyped. Its a great gateway to Super Robot anime... But for some reason, people say things like "I'm not a fan of Mecha, but Gurren Lagann was awesome!", or "Gurren Lagann is the only mecha I like!" When I hear that, it confuses me. The same shit that made Gurren Lagann great is in like every single major Super Robot anime in the past... 30 years? Gunbuster was the first one I can think of (70s Super Robot anime are too old/cheesy for even my tastes). Gunbuster, Diebuster, New Getter Robo, Getter Robo Armageddon, Mazinkaiser, Dancouga Nova, Godannar, Shin Mazinger, GaoGaiGar, GGG Final, etc etc all have the awesome stuff that made Gurren Lagann what it was, but people just watch Gurren Lagann and leave it as that, thinking its super unique in style or something.
Neobowman, have you ever gotten around to Gunbuster, like how I've tried to get you to do many times?

Never got to Gunbuster. I have it lying in my videos folder waiting for me to watch it but I haven't gotton there yet. I've tried some other old super robot anime series that I can't remember the name of but I got turned off by the art style and cheesy story.
|
Stuff from the 70s (Pre-Gunbuster stuff) are like that. Like I can't bring myself to watch the original Mazinger or Getter Robo animes. It was Gunbuster that took the Super Robot genre into a different direction (to my knowledge, at least). Since Gunbuster, they have gotten alot darker, crazier, and over the top.

This reminds me of the time when a friend's Japanese ex-girlfriend confessed her love to another friend of mine, right outside my house. I didn't know what was going on, but then he came back inside the house and showed me the confession letter.
We laughed at it for a while.

That day was my birthday, so I made plans with a couple friends to get some Korean BBQ for dinner. In the afternoon, we planned on hitting up some Sakura Blossom festival, which is where we met up said Japanese girl (who just flew over and came back from Japan), her friend, and her ex because apparently they were good friends or some crap like that, but there was a bit of a bad blood and bad stories going around.
Anyway, the plan was just to hang out with them for the festival, chill for a while and kill some time hanging out, and then KBBQ it up later. Suspiciously she ends up asking to tag along with us everywhere we went. I was like, whatever, maybe KBBQ is that good.
After KBBQ, at the time, my friend and I were totally into Dynasty Warriors 4 and we'd play that game till 3AM a lot so I asked him if he was down for that, which he was, of course. Japanese girl + her friend decide to tag along, and one of our friends was trying to get with her friend so he invited himself, exboyfriend decides to go too, and all of a sudden we had like 9 people even though all I wanted to do was play Dynasty Warriors.
Since I had guests I think we played some board games or something and finally everyone got bored and decided to leave. So we finally fired up Dynasty Warriors when the doorbell rings.
It was the Japanese girl.
"Hey, can you bring your friend?"
They really didn't talk at all the entire day and were hardly acquainted so I was like, "Uh, wtf. Ok sure." Got him out there, and she was like "Um, just us two." I guess. It IS my house, but whatever.
I went back and played some DW and my friend came back a couple minutes later.
"The hell is this crap?! Read it, man."
He threw the letter on the table.
It was pretty ridiculous and pretty fobby, saying things like "You are very popular and are a good leader and I really like that."
"A good leader! What does that even mean? We've never even talked before! All I ever talk about is anime and porn and make ridiculous inside jokes!"
We continued to mock it for a while, and my friend is the loyal "Bros before hos" type so he rejected her, plus the stories we heard about her from the ex-boyfriend (who was my friend's best friend) were just too much. I think we continued to play Dynasty Warriors and would yell out quotes from the letter as insults to the Chinese generals.
Eventually, the Japanese girl decided to go with another friend of the ex-boyfriend and eventually married him. And that relationship was one of those ... what do you call it... pussywhipped situations, as in, he wouldn't hang out with us past 9 or she would get mad-kind of deal. I think what it made it funnier was that we were all in our 20's... I had just turned 20, girl was 23, my friend was 25 and it played out like a high school drama.
Oh yeah and before you ask she wasn't really that cute.
Real life, man. It's totally different from anime.

Being on Spring Break, I decided to check this out. Absolutely fuckin loved it.
But + Show Spoiler +why the fuck did Nia have to die I'm so fucking sad because of that, and both Simon and Yoko ending up living without anyone to love is a huge downer (Yoko the kiss of death roflmao). Niaaaaa
|
Well one of the themes of the story is that you have to move on past what's happened before. + Show Spoiler +Nia's death really shows how Simon develops as a character if you compare his reaction to Kamina's death to his reaction to Nia's death.
Also, you should watch the movies. They're great (except the first half of the first movie)
