pacificpikachuTHANK YOU to everyone who encouraged me to go to the movie--I am SO, SO, SO glad that I did! It was incredible and epic and amazing and I LOVED all the new scenes and additions! It was definitely worth every minute of the six hours of driving total in order to see it.
I would write more intelligent thoughts on it and note things about the movie, but it's 1:33 AM now and I'm a bit tired from all the driving.
I really need to write Yamada-san an e-mail telling him how much I adored it. ;; At one point in the documentary about the making of the Gurren Lagann movies, he was sleeping on a cot in the studio, LOL, and I need to let him know that his hard work and the hard work of all of the GAINAX staff really paid off in a big way.
It's odd, but it seems like the more I see Gurren Lagann, the more deeply I'm affected by it. I actually started crying a bit on the way home because I was so moved. Gurren Lagann has had not only a huge internal effect on me, but has also led me to a lot of wonderful, wonderful experiences I never thought I'd be able to have.
There's a certain fight scene--the FINAL fight scene--in the movie, and I actually got to flip through the hand-drawn frames of that whole scene. 8D I feel amazing every time I think of that! And seeing Shokotan in concert/being on her blog, being on the GAINAX blog, visiting GAINAX studios in general, all the fun convention experiences with GAINAX staff... Good times. ♥ I feel like, in part, my Japan trip this summer was helped by Gurren Lagann--I took on that philosophy where I decided I was going to go, everything else be damned, and there was nothing in the world that was going to stop me. And nothing did.
Anyway, blah, I wish I could write a whole huge essay on how much I adore the series and how I've been affected by it, but like I said...long day, need to go rest and do brainless things!
Man, though. I love this series so much. I can't even say how much.
