[@althesilly]

“Believe in the me, that believes in you” You don’t think you can do it. But you believe in me right. Well I believe you can do it. So if you can’t believe in yourself, believe that I am right about you. It really is perhaps a pure distillation or what a self doubting person needs to hear and a great way to start work your way out of depression.

[@esteban8471]

[@luckyowl10]

"Believe in the Simon, that believes in you.” This might be the end goal to that self doubting person, something that SImon accomplishes till the end.

[@marocat4749]

It pretty genius because lets be real, you cant pressure people to believe in themselves, you have to trick them over some whatever person thing. And that it does flow from him straight that he belueves in simon within that. Neat trick.

[@vitorhugobacicpessoavidal325]

This is a great motivator for me because i never know when i'm doing it right or wrong, so the thinking that i don't need to believe in myself but instead believing in the people that believe in me and making the better to make then true

[@MattTWant]

What made me fall in love with this show was when Kamina unsheathes his sword for like 10 minutes laughed the whole time

[@mightytoothpick]

the art of the infinite sword

[@xavmanisdabestest]

I saw that scene in a gif or something and that scene is why i started the series. Just looked so cool and over the top

[@sigma723]

I actively believe it was spiral power extending his sword so he could keep unsheathing it untill his speech was done to punctuate it properly and totally not just quirky animation

[@JustPoQz]

Towards the end of the last episode when Simon is talking to a boy who's drinking a coconut or whatever, Simon tries to say "Who the hell do you think I am?" but sees that the boy isn't listening and then says "I guess I'm no one...". Man that scene broke my heart

[@FullMetalJackson]

Simon didn't fall in love with his own legend, he didn't demand humanity show their gratitude by making him king and naming a month after him - he willingly hung up his weapons, and went into quiet retirement. He says "I guess I'm no-one" with real humility and a smile, and doesn't cling to his past or pine for some idea of lost glory. That's possibly his most superhuman moment, to me.

[@Jafs]

@@FullMetalJackson very true. It shows the true maturity from Simon who went from a scared shitless kid, to idolising kamina, to the literal god of the universe and finally giving all of that up and choosing the path of humility. Simon doesn't adapt kaminas persona he just solidifies his own, the kind and humble Simon that everyone knew was in him all along

[@abrahamambriz892]

@@Jafs One of the best attributes of his humanity.

[@Jafs]

@JJC glad to know :)

[@painfullyloaded]

​@@Jafs The thing that really got me during that scene was the spiral eye that Simon had. We know that through the power of the spiral that Lord Genom had lived for a thousand years. I feel that Simon will live for a long time and become humanities quiet observer, savior, and protector. The series was left open ended in my opinion and it was great way for the viewer to decided how the story really ends for them.

[@VanillaLightning711]

*SPOILERS* God I love this anime. Every time I’m reminded of it I feel such a strong nostalgia that tears start to well and a smile starts to stretch across my face, because this series brought me to both those extremes. This video actually made me remember of a middle school memory, where after the episode where Kamina had passed away, I was so devastated that I planned to make a memorial for him. I was in my English class practicing stylizing Kamina’s name and the girl who I had a crush on saw me writing his name and asked me if that was the name of my girlfriend and I said yeah 😅

[@BeyondBlue22]

This show had a very similar effect on me tbh. When I was unsure of my own self-worth and was content to waste my days away as a nobody who would never move out from home or get a job, I found this series. It changed me, too. It made me look at the world in a new way. When my pop died, I was grief-stricken, and I didn't know what to do. This series showed me that even in the face of the death of a loved one, you can carry their will with you to keep them alive and strengthen yourself. I started using "Who the hell do you think I am" to psyche myself up. I AM damn important, and if you underestimate me, you'll be sorry. That kind of mindset may seem arrogant, but it got me to believe in myself. I got a job. I moved away from home. Started living with my girlfriend. And while I'm far from successful or rich, I'm also far from being done growing. We move forward, a little with each turn. That's how a drill works. And it's why Gurren Lagann saved me, and allowed me to become my best self.

[@slowburn5240]

Amazing series!! Watched it after hearing so much praise for it and it definitely lived up to it's hype.

[@gavinsnow7504]

I had a very similar experience with this Anime. In a way it changed my life and made me realize that I always wanted to do something great. However I also realized that I was a lot like Simone in the begging. Once I watched it I really started crying because I realized that I never believed in my self enough to do anything that wasn’t going to be easy for me. I stayed “digging my tunnels” because I was good at it. I did this to the point of never trying anything new because I thought everyone was going to be better at it than me so I didn’t even allow myself to try. Now I try new things and actively shoot for the stars because I became the me who believes in me! Thanks for making this video its nice to know I’m not the only person who took this series to heart and was transformed by it.

[@xanderkirk7872]

I have also used Kamina’s “believe in the me that believes in you” quote and people are just confused when I say it. Also I have also been changed by a series, as I’m sure many of us have. Mine was Hunter X Hunter, and the character that drove me and inspired me was Killua. He was incredible.

[@spycitron1954]

Mine is jojo's bizarre adventure because of all the characters of part 7 lol

[@necco2824]

I think everyone that loves and watches animes has that one anime that changed their life. And for me its Gurren Lagann and One Piece.

[@ko.c.2699]

Kamina teaches Simon to believe in himself for the sake of those around him who believe in him. But we quickly learn that this is not sustainable, as Simon seeps into darkness after Kamina, his inspiration and source of motivation and self-confidence, dies. He has no reason to believe in himself anymore. That's why later, Nia teaches him that he is someone of value too, giving him new motivation and a regained self-confidence. Before that, Kamina had also told him to "believe in the you that believes in you". This is a very powerful thing to say, and represent Simon's growth from an insecure boy to a man. That's beautiful. It's also powerful because it says more than just believing in yourself. It also tells you to modify your self-image, to believe in yourself. Beliefs and identity motivate our actions, behaviors, and habits in ways we often underestimate. We often set out to self-improve by focusing on what we should do, instead of who we are and what we believe. We set goals and actions, but ignore the identity and beliefs that will drive those very actions. That's why "believe in the you that believes in yourself" is so powerful. In this seemingly simple phrase, it tells you to modify your self-image to believe in yourself. It tells you to believe in the self-confident version of yourself. And it's made powerful because Kamina spent time showing Simon that Simon was capable of great things in the first half. There is a very good build-up from "believe in the me that believes in you" to "believe in the you that believes in yourself". "believe in the me that believes in you" represents teamwork and leadership built upon trust. Kamina himself believes in himself because he believes in Simon. He said it himself that, whenever he felt discouraged, he remembered the back of Simon steadily digging. Kamina is a great leader because he inspires the entirety of Team Dai Gurren to believe in him, and thus believe in themselves because Kamina believes in them, but he is strong as a leader because he believes in them. His leadership is built upon mutual confidence and trust. "believe in the you that believes in yourself" represents confidence built upon a congruent self-image

[@sidew8ys]

Gurren Lagann had the same impact on me. It’s my favorite anime-original anime of all time

[@whitegemgames]

It makes me really happy to see how many others resonated with the messages of this show. When I went into it I was not prepared for how weirdly inspiring it would be and lately I have been motivated to push past my preconceived limits and be more proactive in life.

[@LostWolfRider]

When they made the movie the ending at the second movie was absolutely brilliant they should’ve used it for the series

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

they were running out of budget toward the end so a movie was necessary to get all the ideas after the investors see the sheer success of the whole series

[@devinsdays1202]

Oregairu-the main character's self-sacrifice is a trait that i also possessed for quite a long time. but he has this quote that goes, "i don't need to be understood, as long as i understand" and i use it as an affirmation everytime i fear judgement from society.

Oregairu hasn’t really changed my life, no show really has. But this anime definitely left me in shambles at the end of S.2 and affected me more personally than any other series

[@darkknight9793]

Every now and then I watch an anime that just reminds me exactly why I love the medium of anime. This year it was Mob Psycho. In 2011 it was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan. It was bold,it was fast,it was colorful and cheerful but it also had a lot of heart,it was surreal but also deep,it was ecentric in its plot and character and above all it was SO DAMM FUN! So yeah this is an anime that will pierce the heavens and take its place amongst the star.

[@hazelXin223]

Alan Watts had me reflecting on life before Gurren Lagann, but when I first saw Gurren I was basically screaming by the end. This is the greatest show I've ever seen. I always go back and the first thing I wanna do when I finish is watch it all over again. I could watch it on the daily for the rest of my life and never grow tired. I cry every time Libera Me from Hell plays.

[@aronth]

I live my life principles based on the drill philosophy. With every turn we move forward even more. Our lives may seem to be looping but its actually an outwards spiral being the better us to our past self. I kept a core drill keychain for about 7 years now to constantly hold true to these values.

[@Ner0mancer]

While Outlaw Star inspired my First book a Lot, One Piece taught me about the Power of friendship and Dragonball showed me to never stop fighting... IT was probably Hellsing that inspired me the Most, because IT showed me that I didn't have to be normal or even Seen AS a Monster by Others to still be against "Evil" (Injustice, violence, racism, whatever) soooo thanks Alucard! And thanks Kamina for being awesome too.

I had the same experience with this show. I adore it. All of my favourite media have shaped me as a person in some way. The show that made me who I am today is without a doubt My Hero Academia, that show shot me down a path that permanently changed the course of my life. It’s the show that inspired me to write my first book, and the show that inspired me to start working out, and the show that inspired me to be heroic, which has impacted how I impact others. There’s only three pieces of fiction that have impacted me so profoundly, TTLG, MP100 and BNHA. I’m thankful to them.

For me, Gurren Lagann is a pure source of energy just as it seems it was for you and many others, even without having been in a particularly depressed state of mind (or maybe I was but didn't realize it haha). The only other anime that really stick to me as a person are Code Geass and Steins Gate, both of which I need to rewatch. Whether it was the social commentary on the absoluteness of inequality, what drives humanity and what we seek, the shape of happiness, or that even in a world where everyone lives their own individual versions of life, we are all connected in ways far beyond our comprehension, these anime were very thought provoking and were media that had far greater meaning than the psychological thriller, drama or romance that made them entertaining to watch.

What's also absolutely beautiful about the "Believe in me, that believes you" quote is, is how it advanced to "Believe in the you, that believes in yourself". Which is just a convoluted way to say "believe in yourself" and by itself it makes absolutely no sense. But since it came from the original quote and were kaminas last words, it packs so much meaning. And I absolutely love the evolution of this phrase. Believe in yourself! Not the me that believes in you. Not the you that believes in me either. Just believe in the you that believes in yourself!

Hello, I hope you see this. I watched this video a little over a month ago. It peaked my interest in this show just to give it a try. I started watching it a few weeks after and it was ok and kind of slow at the beginning but I stuck with it. I finally decided to binge it from episode 5 to the end two days ago. I am so happy I did. This was a great anime. I love Kamina and his catch phrase. I found myself saying this to my wife. The episode when Simone finally got his confidence and beat the mole general was my favorite. I loved his development and how he gained the confidence in himself. It brought me to tears. I didn't like how some of his friends tried to play him in season 2. But thank you soooo much for recommending this. Believe in the me that believes in you now sticks with me.

Dude, I can 100% relate to everything you've said. Gurren Lagann changed my life too, and whenever I feel down or unmotivated, just listening to the opening/ost or big scenes give me that power up that makes me instantly smile and just feel good really. Gurren Lagann is an amazing creation, both as a series and as an artistic piece of work. The over the top characters and action with the over the top in your face motto of DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE really became my own motto in life. And as an artist, this kind of message where you need to go beyond and do the impossible, do something you wouldnt even think of, and becoming great at it is a very powerful one. Gurren Lagann is so good. Much much love mate. Great to see others who have the same passion for a show I so Highly love.

An anime about going beyond your limit. The symbolism behind using a drill to pierce any obstacle. The inspiration and excitement you feel when they overcome those obstacles.

I especially love that line, because there is never a time it doesn't fit. Even if I may not really believe in you, you aren't believing in me, you are believing in the me that believes in you. You trust the ideal perfect version of me that you know, not the flawed human I really am. No matter what happens to me, there is always that "ideal me" you know, and that is the one you should believe in. Believe in the perfect person who objectively knows you can do it, not the secretly flawed human who subjectively thinks you can do it.

I really enjoyed listening to your monologue. I'm so glad you can take so much positivity from this incredible story.

I discovered Gurren Lagann at the lowest point of my life. It's optimistic message was key into climbing out of the hole I dug myself into called Depression. Simon's character development was especially important to me because the driving force of my depression (or at least a good amount of it) was that I had lost someone very dear to me and didn't know how to deal with the grief. I felt Simon's greif as if it were my own, it spoke to me on a level no other story ever had. It showed me that your life doesn't have to stop because you lost someone. It doesn't mean you've forgotten that person or what they meant to you if you continue to move forward with your life. And if Simon could do it, so could I. And eventually, I did. I probably would have found my way out of that hole without Gurren Lagann but it came to me just when I needed it most. And the best part? It's been 6 years and I haven't fallen back into any form of depression again.

This show took me YEARS to finish cause i was legit depressed after Kamina...just like the characters in the show i couldnt figure out how to move forward accepting the fact such a great man had fallen..this show has contiuned to help me learn how to grow thru loss of loved ones who suddenly pass away. Its still hard but this show really helped me to grow up like Simon, im still growing but i love this show..forever the greatest ive watched in anime. Thank you

If you you really enjoy gurren like this then you will enjoy space dandy. I’m not sure if you have seen it but it will hit you like this

[@sotiris2273]

Gurren Lagann changed my life as well. I'm always telling that to people who havn't seen it and I can't exactly explain why. But this literally showed me why I felt that way. This show changed my mindset when I watched it for the first time in highschool and it will always be my #1 favorite.

Pierce the heavens!

[@thomascarenter6448]

This anime was very important to me because back in middle school I almost committed suicide One of my best friends grabbed me and showed me this anime it ihis anime and on that day it taught me life is Is worth living and you must push on On that day and he my friends became more than just friends we became brothers But sadly my friend passed on from brain cancer He gave me the necklace from the anime since then I never take it off i miss him so munch

[@jacobstrain1666]

Thank you for making this video, I started Gurren Lagan because of it and I just finished it 5 mins ago. It deeply profoundly hit me. I loved it thank you

_Legend has it that Kamina, along with Alex Armstrong, are the true descendants of Whitebeard. For only men, can inherit such a devastatingly Alpha gene._ Also, Gurren Lagann has been removed from UK Netflix. RIP.

I just got into the anime about a month ago, n when I heard the 2 movies were getting their first US theatrical release as part of the 15th anniversary, I bought tickets immediately. Such a spectacle to see on the big screen. I instantly fell in love with Gurren Lagann. Attack On Titan is my favorite anime, but man Gurren is really giving it a run for its money. If not closely tied for my favoite anime, it's an EASY second! I LOVE everything about Gurren Lagann. Besides the hilarious moments and the over the top action that literally is in a constant state of "oh ya? Watch this" and going crazier and crazier every fight, the story was just soooo damn cool. Sure the "believe in yourself" thing has been done to death, but it felt fresh here, n I dunno why. But even that aside, imo the syory was super unique. The twist when you find out Lordgenome ACTUALLY WAS trying to save humanity, fuckin wild. He actually was a good guy, just went about things in a tyrannical manner, but even that makes perfect sense. Oh man, I could gush about this show and its story untill my fingers fall off, but ain't no one wanna read all that. Gurren Lagann is absolute PERFECTION and tippity top tier PEAK writing. Take the anime, and add the ending of the 2nd movie? Perfection perfected! But you know what, YOUR video is the video that TRULY made "believe in the me that believes in you" make sense to me. Thank you.

[@felixgutierrez993]

This show made me push hard for my schooling and is one of the animes that actually got me back to working out and still know!

[@chavechase]

[@Pain_Pen]

This is my favorite anime of all time and changed how I view things in life . And inspired me to watch others mecha series and it became my favorite anime genre!!!!!! “I will always pierce through the heavens “ also Kamina ‘s death was the first time I cried to an anime .

Kamina: The Epitome of Manliness

[@GhERM2SOIED72]

Agreed. Every person should see this show at one point. Even if a potential viewer can’t learn anything new, the style and emotion here are timeless.

[@loadedcomic552]

HMM no one seems to have mentioned Clannad/ Clannad: Afterstory those helped me be a tiny bit more confident and I constantly look back at scenes from it to help me with decisions/motivation it's by far my favorite piece of television i've ever watched.

[@thenew4559]

That is definitely a beautiful series.

[@tribunalcustodian3989]

Gurren Lagann is my all time favorite anime, show, and general media! I agree so much with everything you said. Everything is gorgeously made, the characters are fantastic, the messages are real, and the animation is outstanding! The ost makes my heart race just listening to it, and also cry. God I sobbed like a baby at the end. Simon is my favorite fictional character, like ever. (Followed by Mori Jin)
