Gurren Lagann


Type: Anime
Status: Complete (26 episodes)

Premise: Centuries ago humanity fled underground and now live in enormous underground caverns and have even forgotten that there is such a thing as "The Surface". Simon the digger is a shy kid who found a pretty glowing spiral thingy when excavating a tunnel and then his world turned upside down. The ceiling collapses, a giant robot falls into town, his brother Kamina decides this is the perfect opponent to test his manliness against and  a girl in a bikini carrying a rifle digger than he is lands on top of him. There are some things on the surface that just defy explanation.

Thoughts: This was an amusing anime because it was so freaking ludicrous. From the begging to the end things are over the top, hilarious and completely random to a point were you stop watching for any real intention of enjoying the story telling and instead just wanting to see what the hell is going to happen next.

Prose: The comedy is excellent, and the animation and dubbing is top notch. Those are the things you watch this program for because thats pretty well all its got going for it (Though it has it in spades).

Cons: Plot? What plot? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE, WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING PLOT!!!!!

- Notes: Fully dubbed. To watch this anime you need to be in a certain frame of mind, if your serious about it you will be severly disappointed.

8/10          (The words that come out of Kamina's mouth still confuse me....)
