It is also largely agreed to be TOTALLY awesome, being fully willing to disregard physics entirely in favor of the rule of cool. One blogger said that the show could only be described in two ways: "1. Completely fucking ridiculous" and "2. Totally fucking awesome," emphasizing the need for the swearing.

It ran for twenty-seven episodes on Japan's TV Tokyo between April 1, 2007 and September 30, 2007.

It is directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, written by veteran playwright Kazuki Nakashima and has been in development since the participation of the famed animator in the Abenobashi mecha themed episodes by the same studio. Licensing for a North American release of Gurren Lagann was announced by ADV Films at AnimeExpo 2007 on June 30, 2007; however, after an unexplained removal from ADV's catalog, Bandai Entertainment announced it held the license at New York Comic Con 2008.[1] It was also announced for a UK release by ADV Films at AmeCon 2007, however at AmeCon 2008 Beez Entertainment announced that they had the UK distribution rights instead. It was also announced by ADV Films Germany for a summer 2008 release. The Sci Fi Channel acquired the broadcasting rights of Gurren Lagann, and began airing the anime on July 28, 2008 as part of Sci Fi's Ani-Monday anime block.[2][3] A manga adaptation started serialization in MediaWorks' Dengeki Comic Gao! on April 27, 2007, but switched over to ASCII Media Works' manga magazine Dengeki Daioh on April 21, 2008 due to the former being discontinued on February 27, 2008. Bandai Entertainment licensed the manga and will be releasing it in English in North America. A series of light novels have also been created and are published by Shogakukan. A video game based on the series, for the Nintendo DS, was released in October 2007, bundled with a special episode of the anime series.[4] An animated film version premiered in Japanese theaters on September 6, 2008, and a second movie has been announced. This series has been heavily requested by fans to be represented in a Robot Wars game. And it has been confirmed to be in the second Super Robot Wars Z game for the PSP. This article is a .

- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a 2007 mecha anime series produced by GAINAX. In some ways, it is a complete reversal of their famous previous series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is also largely agreed to be TOTALLY awesome, being fully willing to disregard physics entirely in favor of the rule of cool. One blogger said that the show could only be described in two ways: "1. Completely fucking ridiculous" and "2. Totally fucking awesome," emphasizing the need for the swearing.
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (roughly "Heaven-Piercing Crimson Face") is what happens when Studio Gainax is asked to create a Saturday Morning Cartoon. Lonely orphan Simon (pronounced "SHI-mon" in Japanese and "SEE-mon" in the dub) lives in an underground village, digging for ancient artifacts and eating pigmoles. His self-appointed big brother, Kamina, is a hot-headed idiot who dreams of going to the "Surface" as his father did (despite the village elder constantly saying the "Surface" doesn't exist). Then Simon discovers a strange drill-shaped key -- and, soon after, a pint-sized mecha which responds to the key. Taking his "brother" to see it, they're interrupted by (in turn) the village elder, the roof of the village collapsing, a massive bestial robotic head, and Yoko, a woman with a very big gun and very little clothing firing at said beast-mecha -- a "Gunmen". Thus begins a rollercoaster ride of Fan Service, over-the-top fight scenes between mecha, hot-bloodedness, epic sunglasses, massive Badassery, and mind-blowing heroism. The show is loads of fun and doesn't take itself seriously at all. Don't try reading any science into the show; common theory (and near Word of God) says its Universe is governed by Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny. On Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness, Gurren Lagann ranks as one of the softest. There are two Compilation Movies (with new scenes to help tie things together and provide movie-original climaxes): Gurren-hen ("Crimson Lotus Chapter", titled as Childhood's End outside of Japan) and Lagann-hen ("Spiral Stone Chapter", similarly titled The Lights in the Sky Are Stars). There are also three manga: one is a slightly altered version of the anime, another is a hilariously awesome High School AU, and the third is set in an Alternate Universe focusing on Simon and Nia. A Buddy Cop Show Fan Comic by the name of Double K also exists -- and it is glorious. Gurren Lagann was originally licensed by ADV Films, but was later lifted from their license list and given to Bandai. The English dub -- under the title Gurren Lagann -- began showing in America on Sy Fy right before Now and Then Here and There and MD Geist. The entire series is legally available on YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu... at least in the United States and Canada. (On Netflix, it's only available in the US and UK.) Oh, one more thing: this show is highly quoteable.
- By combining his own Spiral Power with his comrades, Simon created the true titular entity, which he titles, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, in the final battle against the Anti-Spirals. Not actually a mecha by traditional means, the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is actually a mass of continuously materialized Spiral Power (similar to the Spiral technique used to materialize Drills) on the scale of a galaxy. Though being similar to the Gurren Lagann, its design is overall very different from other mecha in the series, its armor being made up of red skulls, illuminated by the storm of Spiral Power that burns continuously from its core, giving it the appearance of Team Dai-Gurren's emblem. Of its many faces, the primary "cockpits" contain: Simon and Nia in the head, Viral the torso, Yoko in the right shin, and Leeron in what seems to be the left forearm. The rest of Team Dai-Gurren are positioned at various points in the limbs and appendeges, all operating in Lagann-style cockpits. Its abdominal jaw is clenched onto the head of the Lazengann, containing a fully resurrected Lordgenome. It has been confirmed in the data books that the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is 10 million light years in height, making it roughly one hundred times the size of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is the the third largest mecha in anime to date, the other two being the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and the Super Granzeboma. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann draws jointly on abilities from its many pilots, including Simon's drills, Yoko's rifle, Viral's swords and so on. The actual limit of the mecha's abilities is immeasurable, as it gains an infinite amount of power depending on the pilots' will to win. At points, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the Anti-Spirals' fight at forces equal to the Big Bang, the battle being so intense it was shown to rip holes through various dimensions showing that the power of each was on a extreme scale. This is furthered by the fact that they can alter the fundamental laws of reality, such as altering probability and creating matter out of thin air (which is no small feat even by the series' own standard, as the various drills and weapons materialized are larger than most small galaxies).
