Review: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann



Now if you haven't heard of this series yet, read this, if you have....read this still and remind yourself how great this series is.

I've followed this series since its first aired as a fan sub and was hooked, and with is being released in America by Bandai in July, and I will be buying it dvd by dvd.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, the story of humans being controlled by demi humans, humans are forced to live underground take shelter any how come above are immediately killed.
Simon is a young orphan who loves his job as a digger, as that is what most humans are doing to expand territory for homes, and even find other towns. Simon has one man he looks up to, Kamina, a brash young man who believes humans should be free to see the sky, live as they please and lives as his heart and spirit tell him to, no buts about it.

One day an avalanche happends and Kamina and Simon are stuck under rubble, Simon is about to give up as Kamina encourages him to do everything he can till he dies and not to give up about anything, as he does Simon finds courage in himself and frees he and Kamina. Kamina respects Simon as his little brother and Simon sees Kamina as a bigger tough brother.

On a digging excavation Simon finds a weird drill shaped item and eventually a little robot, as he does a sexy girl falls from the sky fighting a weird monster neither Kamina or Simon have ever seen in their lives, and in the end fighting the monster with the girl escaping the underground caves and seeing the world for the first time. Simon and Kamina join the girl named Yoko as they decide to see the world save it and aim for the skies!!!

Giving just the basis and first episode of Gurren Lagann I wanted to avoid spoilers for those who will see it soon or want to as we speak. The studio who produced this Anime is Gainax the same weirdos who brought you Evangelion and FLCL, so really its a series you cant miss!! Check it our coming in July or go watch it now, its a 26 episode anime that goes beyond the skies and stars because everyone should aim for the skies!!!
