The 27-episode mecha adventure comedy-drama is directed by future Trigger co-founder Hiroyuki Imaishi and tells the tale of Simon, a 14-year-old boy who lives in an underground post-apocalyptic hamlet.
He and his childhood companion Kamina unearth a robot head in the village's ruined tunnels just in time to escape the onslaught of Beastmen.
From there, it becomes an explosive, action-packed, expectation-defying adventure full of drama, humor, heartache, euphoric highs, and ludicrous levels of spectacle.
Gurren Lagann is a must-watch for any fan of big robot anime, bursting at the seams with character and fist-pumping adrenaline.
