As the title indicates, this is an addendum of sorts to my last post, which you can find over here: ["A Terrible Darkness"]. At Ghostlightning’s (sort-of) request, I’m revisiting Shin Mazinger and the Gothic in light of the thirteenth episode, “First Love? The Beautiful Lorelei!”
You should probably expect this from me every once in a while — that is, in this post I am going to trace some of the Gothic tropes in Shin Mazinger Z. The Gothic is sort-of my thing — or it’s becoming so. Seriously, though, it all makes sense. Trust me.
I’m not finished with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann yet, and as readers from my personal blog might expect, I’m horribly behind, both with the newest stuff and with my own, personal schedule.
As you might guess from the title, I want to deal with GL in terms of mythology. And, really, when is talking about Kamina a bad thing?
