LOL I can't hate that guy simply because you're supposed to not really like him, if that makes any sense. The whole series is, much like Gainax's earlier series, Evangelion, somewhat of a deconstruction of the Mecha genre... the difference is that while Eva took the Darkly Cynical Deconstruction route (otherwise known as the F***ed Up Deconstruction That Is Likely To Depress the Hell Out of You), Gurren Lagann takes the Outrageously Farcical Parody route. The character you mention is basically a direct parody of a certain kind of character, i.e. the ones who are Stereotypically American in anime. Otherwise known as "loudmouthed narcissists". Again, since it's part of the parody I just laugh and have no problem with it. I could definitely see how he would grate, though X3 He's a lot like Excel from Excel Saga, in that he's deliberately made to be completely obnoxious. |
