Sorry if this starts a little bit late-- I'm having trouble getting the computer connected. Of course. SO. MANY. LOGOS. Konami is accidentally "Konam" and the screen is set at 4:3...that should be interesting.Okay...the movie!   SPOILER ALERT!The film's intro is definitely different from the TV series', probably due to the eventual changes in the series. It looks very different now. It also uses Ro Ro Fight the Power, which is awesome. It looks to me like it's refering to all the past humans who have gone nearly (but not quite) as far as Simon and company. Hmm...And yeah, that's the Spiral King talking to humanity now, placing mechs on the planet to subjugate humans. Very cool.Anyway, it's badass and it looks absolutely amazing. Gives away some of the Gurren Lagann mechs' evolutions, but man, how cool.And now we're back to footage we've seen before; Simon digging and finding the face of the Lagann.I think Yoko might have gotten more yells at her entrance than Kamina got at his. Heehee, boob-squishy. They really did cut things to go a lot faster though.And here we go with the Lagann. Kinda funny how he said it's Simon's mech, but he named it himself. Oh, Kamina!"Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me, who believes in you!" "...What's that supposed to mean?" Ahh, the glory days! (Also, yay Boota.)Once again I find myself wondering, as I did when I watched the original episode-- do the Japanese turn their car keys left or right? Simon turns his drill left at this point to power the Lagann.
