Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Gurren Lagann

Commonly known as “Gurren Lagann”, it is the most epic anime EVER!!! It was released on 2007 and won several awards at the Tokyo International Anime Fair, Animation Kobe, and Japan Media Arts Festivals. Produced by the animation studio Gainax (Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL), the series is 27 episodes long (though is divided in 2 parts, but it is 27 in total).

Personally, I don’t like animes about giant robots (Mecha) but I started watching the show cause a friend recommended it (didn’t shut up), and said that it was “different” from other “Mecha” animes. Well, she was right. What have I been missing? I can say right know that, even though I don’t like mecha animes, this is one of my favorite shows ever. It is about doing the impossible, fighting the power, and piercing the heavens. It has comedy, action, epicness that defies the laws of physics…and it ROCKS!!! I don’t know how to describe it but it makes you feel awesome! So if you’re bored or feeling a little down, this is the best cure there is.

I won’t spoil anything, not even the beginning, just watch the first episodes for yourself and you’ll get hooked. You can watch it on Youtube here. (Or you can watch it by other means, and in High Definition) If you watch it on youtube, add “&fmt=18″ after the address to watch in better quality (though the video loads slower). If the address already has a “&” symbol delete everything after the “&” and then add “fmt=18″.

WARNING!!!! Don’t read the comments in Youtube! People are spoiling big events in the comments even in the first videos so don’t read any comment. Finish the series first if you don’t like big spoilers. You’ve been warned…
