Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King, Lord Genome, who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages that have no contact with the surface world or other villages. These villages are under constant threat of earthquakes, so select villagers called diggers are relegated to expand their homes deeper underground. Simon, a meek young digger who is ostracized by his peers, finds solace in his best friend and older brother figure, an eccentric delinquent named Kamina, who allows Simon to join his gang, Team Gurren, to help him achieve his dream of visiting the surface world.
The series started out good, but then it got out of control. After a while it lacked so much believability that it stopped being fun to watch. There is bad logic and plot holes, and there were a lot of bad physics situations. Such things as violations of matter and energy conservation (endless supplies of energy and creating matter from nothing); a small mecha defeating something 50 times its size in a head on collision; a man with a 1 foot diameter hole in his chest still standing and talking; a society that has less than (read more)

If humans were originally defeated but some remained, why would the conquerers (who feared humans) leave the chance of humans coming back instead of just destroying the planet?

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. A mouthful for title that might sound cocky. But it has all the rights to be in it's cocky position as it is an excellent anime. Fans of Borderlands will like it due to numerous similarities, the main being it's special heavy outlined art style. Characters you will absolutely love in the forms of (read more)

Music that suits the moments of extreme epicness as well as scenes that make you go: WTF followed by a quick and elongated LOL :P
