Let's talk. Mecha Anime. Specifically Gurren Lagann.
Everyone tend's to think straight to the likes of the giants that are Gundam Wing series or Evangelion. Not much seem to show love for Gurren Lagann.
Let me tell you of how epic an anime is that it makes you rethink a genre. Gurren Lagann did that for me as i had no interest in mech anime. I had seen some Gundam Wing as a kid like but was not fussed. Evangellion is one i am set to watch soon.
What is Gurren Lagann and what is it about?
Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King, Lordgenome, who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages. The plot focuses on two teenagers, Simon and Kamina, who live in a subterranean village and wish to go to the surface. Using a mecha known as Lagann, Simon and Kamina reach the surface and start fighting alongside other humans against Lordgenome's forces, before fighting the forces of their true enemy.
It's 27 episodes long which you could finish in a day provided you skip the intros and outros of course. If you want action, mech's, adventure and some laughs along the way this is the anime for you.
