What single scene ruined an entire Anime for you?

trust me. it will. i felt the same way but the last episode kinda saved it for me

It still makes sense cause he wasn't aware of it ^^'

Can't remember what the actual change happening is, but it was something
along the lines of this - when the geass has been used too much, it becomes
present in both eyes rather than one, making the user stronger. However, as
that's occurring, it stays on permanently against the user's will.

Every time Lelouch used his power, he chose to turn it on and therefore knew
it was on. He didn't make that choice this time nor did he know he was reaching
this point. So he had no way of knowing it was on.

But yeah, I'm not gonna try defending it all the way. I'm not as attached to the story
as much as I used to be cause it's been way too long since I watched it. So I'm not
technically bothered lol.

When does that happen? I only remember them using the time leap machine.

oh definitely
by the end i felt so bad for edamura, he was put through so much, i was so mad when they showed that dorothy is still alive, i mean i see a lot of people who like her but i just didnt and laurent had already moved on so i hope they dont actually bring her back into the story

there was a time skip and zenith didn't just accept it the next day, she took many factors into consideration such as the child's future, and acted in a mature manner, that is, accepting both of them which is important for norn and Aisha's future. Divorcing Paul or having Lilia kicked out would only cause further problems in everyone's lives.

And anyway, that scene is not there for you to fall in love with the show, rather, its aim is to make it clear that it's set in a medieval era and these were the common practices.

I didn't read the light novel, but in the manga it's clear that Zenith doesn't forgive Paul for what he did, at least right away. I doubt the anime will go back and cover that chapter, but for a while Paul had to sleep in another room, but she stayed with him for the kids. I doubt it will change your opinion on the show, but at least the repercussions aren't glossed over in the manga (and probably the LN).

Also don't know if this is a spoiler, but Zenith's religion is anti-polygamy so the excuse that it's acceptable doesn't matter for her

I can kind of see where you're coming from ! I think it mainly comes down to your own interpretation of the story and what message you take from it, and it's all subjective so that's fine. im gonna respond to most or all of what you said, read if you'd like, if not that's fine i may end up writing too much lmao

for starters, i disagree with you saying simon didn't have a happy ending. if you look at the situation at face value with no context nia dies and he lives his life in isolation then sure, sad ending and simon is heartbroken. but I think that point of view entirely dismisses what's a common theme throughout the story (as well as simon's development), gurren lagann is about growth, it's about beating the impossible, and it's about cherishing, loving, and acceptance of your life experiences, even if that means the death of a loved one this is DIRECTLY shown in ep 11 when simon regains his confidence "my bro is dead, he's gone, but he's right there on my back, and here in my heart, he lives on as a part of me!" in all honesty i don't think the message and the idea behind simon's growth could be more explicitly shown here, simon's life has been insanely tough, some people may have died but they ARE NOT lost. simon did not have anywhere near a sad ending, he married the love of his life, he lived through all of his battles and got to live out his life with his wife and his brother always being with him, in the end we see him be shown the culmination of every blood, sweat, and tear he's put into fighting for spiral life forms, and gets to see the next generation admire his work and adopt his views with a passion the same way he did. HE WAS HAPPY overall i just think saying he wasnt happy at the end is just disregarding what i believe to be a major message many take from the show.

okay about nia being an antispiral coming out of nowhere, it's been a while since i've seen the anime so i definitely cant point you to any foreshadowing. personally i just don't think of this as a flaw of any kind, nor do i think it was a way to "hurt simon one last time". i understand wanting to just see them live out their lives married, but i think her dying due to being an anti spiral not only just beautiful in my eyes considering the fact that one is of spiral race and one is of anti spiral race, on some romeo and juliet shit. but i also just think her death works very well thematically and further pushes the message about growth and cherishing the fact that you've experienced happy not simply focusing on the fact that it's "ending", because their love isn't just bound by or cut off by her death, they will always love each other and live on with each other, even if it's not literally.

okay final point, im so sorry this is long

you are entirely in your right to dismiss how im about to attack this point btw the first like half is somewhat of a joke. i actually like your interpretation of his eye and him being immortal, however what i don't like is the idea that everything will just repeat and simon's journey will end up being pointless, wanna know why i don't like this? because it won't happen. wanna know how i know it won't happen? because he's simon the fucking digger, and he makes the impossible possible. but on a more real note i don't think that could ever happen, i mean throughout the entire show simon and most of his squad beats situations they probably shouldnt. because of simon's influence humanity will always prevail, humanity isn't stupid and won't fall into the same downward spiral that they have in the past. i think after the antagonist says "this will happen to you, its happened before!" and the protagonist says "no it wont, im the main character here!", chances are the protagonist is right, to me thats like if a romance anime finished with the main girl getting married and making the assumption that she'll get divorced solely because some of her ancestors before her did so some view it as "inevitable", anything bad happening to simon he can make it through if he believes in himself enough, and that's a DAMN good message to give to its target audience and it's written in a DAMN good way. ALSO JUST REMEMBERED THIS NOW, SINCE NIA AND KAMINA ALWAYS LIVE ON IN HIS HEART, IF HE'S IMMORTAL THAT ACTUALLY GIVES HIM STILL A HAPPY ENDING CAUSE HE LIVES WITH THEM FOREVER, HAHA

god this was so long im so damn sorry you do NOT have to read it

tl;dr i think we interpreted the message differently and that's okay, i dont wanna force my taste onto you

I would suggest you put the source of the panel cause who knows, maybe a random pedestrian who had just finished s1 stumbled upon this and spoiled themselves and then have a heart attack.

I agree, that's why I don't like V3's ending, I guess that's why it's considered a different "timeline" or story arc than basically everything else in the universe.

Yes, some of my favourite Danganronpa characters are from V3, including the main protagonist Y'know, the real one, Maki, Ryoma, Tenko the one l liked the most, RIP. Also, the actual story was really good, which is why it all being made up within the game was really frustrating, and despair-inducing I guess, just in a bad way. Well the actual DR3 anime was pretty despair-inducing in the same bad way haha, although the Future arc did have some really cool moments, but the overall story was really messy (I'm not a fan of the plot twist either)

Side note, I have absolutely no problem with the actual audience "AKA us" being the "real villains" in DRV3, it was a pretty genius idea actually, I just hate how it was handled.
