Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** Lordgenome's Lazengann is supposed to look and fight like Gainax's earlier [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Unit 01]]. [[Epileptic Trees|You don't think that]] [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|means anything, do you?]]

*** This is lampshaded in the Satire:

'''Simon:''' You just said that so I didn't have to point it out, didn't you? }}

*** The fact that the Lazengann massacred anything standing in its way in Parallel Works 8 without wielding any weapons (except for the obligatory drills) only helps to confirm this.

** Does nobody seem to note the references to ''[[Star Wars]]''? Especially in the [[Time Skip]].

*** One such reference is Lordgenome speaking to Simon not long before they get ready to fight.

** And then an internal reference, in Lagann-hen, where {{spoiler|the Anti-Spiral's Gran Zamboa literally beats the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to death on the ground, ripping and maiming the suit in a method very reminiscent of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion Unit 01's horrific destruction of Unit 03.]]}} This show loves shouting out at its parent company.

** [[SpongeBob SquarePants]]... In my Gurren Lagann? [http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/Cusashorn/Squidward.png It's more likely than you think...] (seriously, that can't be coincidental...)
