#the creator was ishikawas editor so he did took the most influence out of respect but it’s ALSO just inspired by a lot of mecha

The urge to not be the most annoying person ever when Gurren Lagann is mentioned by anyone randomly and I get the urge to scream “DID YOU KNOW GETTER ROBO IS A INFLUENCE ON IT” because every instance it’s always unprompted, probably not getting the person interested and it’s not like I even watched Gurren to make justifiable comparisons nor do I know when the fuck I will.

#meg text #getter robo #I will say aside from me this by itself is yet another annoying misconception getter has but worsely applied to GL #the creator was ishikawas editor so he did took the most influence out of respect but it’s ALSO just inspired by a lot of mecha #it’s a mecha love letter but somehow only made people who were curious about wtf inspired it mecha fans #where as most other people call it peak and never watch any other mecha which is why it off puts me #I’m not someone who hates it just for that bc I don’t do it with Eva since that whole thing DUMB even if I get the damage it’s done #but it is annoying to see something so hugely popular and no one gives its creative influences that are just as good a look #but also this goes back to my continued mountain of salt of “man no one talks about how significant getter is to old anime culture” #I will probably try to watch it one day but fuck knows when and please don’t enforce it on me #I have so much shit I need to watch or feel pressured to watch #(also another thing that off puts me even if it’s not related to the show itself is uh- when I first tried to watch it I was sick💀) #on my birthday too #that said if I did watch it I’d probably have a easier time talking to anime fans irl but I can’t make anything easy on myself #rejecting popular things besides a select few until I die (die as in when I finally care to try it)
