Gurren Lagann is the eponymous mech the series protagonists (Simon and Kamina) pilot in their fight against confines of an underground life that humans have been cursed to endure by The Helix King, and his minions, the Beastmen. Their battles are waged used Ganmen, mecha that resemble anthropomorphized faces, capable of combining their forces for indiscriminate destruction. Simon and Kamina are not only determined to live liberate the oppressed underground dwellers, but to pierce the threashold of the heavens to actualize their dreams.

We've all seen mech anime, I'm sure. This one though... it rakes the genre over and spins it on it's face. It's somewhere between GaoGaiGar, Mobile Suit Gundam and One Piece, taking all the fantastic elements of each and creating an extreme, over the top series

^FTW!

However they're going to add to it with some OVAs, too. I guess they're going to tell some side stories.

Description
In the distant future, people build their homes and raise domestic animals in subterranean caverns. As a result, they live in fear of the occasional earthquake and cave-in, and have been for hundreds of years. Jeeha is one such village.

One day, a boy named Simon happens to find a small, shiny drill whilst digging to expand the village. At the same time, Kamina, a guy who believes that there is another land above the village, persuades a gangster to break through the ceiling in order to leave the cavern. Suddenly, an earthquake occurs and the ceiling collapses, followed by a big robot breaking through the ceiling.

Kamina is now sure that there is a world above them. Recklessly, he begins to fight against the robot. At that moment, another person appears from the land above. It is a girl by the name of Yoko. With a rifle in hand, she had been tracking the robot. However, all she could do was distract it. Then, Simon shows what he had found to Kamina and Yoko. It's a mysterious robot whose head is also its body.

I know most of you probably saw this already and if so WHY THE HECK DID YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT this show takes it to another level. The storyline the soundtrack and the animation is so well done and meld so completely that it draws you into it. So in closing if you are looking for somthing GREAT to watch check this

Anime out.

I know this anime has been out for awhile, but I recently saw an AMV for the series and just had to share it.

Gurren Lagann Amv You not alone

.......epic doesn't begin to describe it.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann To hell with Gattai

rassmatic · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2009, 02:55:42 PM »

not bad. not bad at all. not a big fan of the song, but it was still dread. Lagann FTW!!!!!

Q · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2009, 06:06:09 PM »

Very awesome. I've wanted to do one for a while but time, time, time... Judging by my sig, I'm obviously a fan, lol, but I'm also the leader of Team Trini Dai-Gurren. My flag proves it. Wanna join?

BTW... For a long time now, I've speculated that Simon is a descendant of Ryu. Where else could all that fighting spirit come from? I mean, just who the hell do you think he is?

New Era Outlaw · « **Reply #17 on:** November 02, 2009, 08:38:22 PM »

I've heard nothing but good things about it.

...unfortunately, I can't ever sit down to watch it. Why? Well....

.....let's just say I'd be way too distracted to concentrate on the main plot of the show.
