What Gurren Lagann does to a mf:

[@johnnykiehn1872]

Honestly this show not only saved my life but changed it. I was in the hospital after a 4 day ICU stint following a major bowel reconstruction surgery. I had dropped 30 pounds down to 115 on a 5’11” frame. I was skinny as a twig, extremely sensitive about my new 9” abdominal scar from the incision, and insanely depressed. I was bored out of my mind in that hospital bed, and picked up TTGL after perusing Netflix for something to take my mind off of my current situation. I had seen many anime before and figured that I’d watch it. Worse thing that could happen was it was shit, and I figured I could at least get a laugh out of how bad it was if that was the case. 4 episodes became 12, which became 18, which became the whole show binged that day. That night I walked 200 feet using my IV pole to stabilize me, the first time I had been able to since I came in 6 days before. In that moment, I promised myself that I too would keep pushing forward, because as TTGL said, that’s all we as humans can do. This June is the 3 year anniversary of that surgery, and I have completely changed my life since that day in the hospital. I am now 55lbs heavier, much more confident with my shirt off, eating healthier than ever, lifting weights 6 days a week, and in the best shape of my entire life. I am so much happier with who I am, and have become someone that kid in the hospital bed could have never imagined. TTGL will forever and always be my favorite anime, because it literally made me who I am today.

I was just humoring you up to this point because you were so excited. I’m not really into mechs, but I get it now.” Then the show ended and she looked at me with tears in her eyes and I asked her, “do you understand what I meant when I said it was one of the greatest?” To which I was happy to hear her reply, “ what the heck? Why was that so good? Why did everybody have to die? Oh my god. What the heck.” I was super worried she wasn’t going to like it because she’s so much younger than me and it’s not the sort of anime she normally watches, so to see her enjoy it as much as I did and come to love it the way I did felt really good. I love that anime

But Gurren is all about purpose, confidence, and the power of self-belief, something every good man should have. Not only did that other person not mention anything about tinkerbell, shitting on somebody for liking tinkerbell and telling to get into "manly" things after shitting on Gurren, is extremely toxic. I don't care why you don't like Gurren. If anything, I'm grateful you don't, so I have one less thing to have in common with you, but you're as far from what a good man should be as you can get.

The entire point of Gurren Lagann is character development, JJK has good characters but it is also full of tropes. You also said you like Evangelion which was literally made by the same studio, and is written with similar intentions in mind.

Gurren Lagann once again being one of the most inspiring animes of all time, absolute W. Keep fightin the power!

[@AegisAuras]

I didn’t realize it until many years after watching the show, but the concept of Spiral Power is derived from a concept found in many spiritual philosophies, especially that of the New Age spiritualities. There’s a consistent theme in these spiritualities that all energy is conscious and is driven to refine itself through the process of evolution so that it may evolve back up and become one with The Source/God. This driving force is the universe’s response to its inner desire to return to perfection, divinity. As planetary consciousness continues to evolve from animal to humanoid, humanoid to angelic, angelic to cosmic force, and so on, a force is created that begins attracting other energies down the same path of evolution. This force ever increases the evolutionary speed of the universe, causing the consciousness of light to “spiral” inwards towards The Creator exponentially faster. Eventually this attraction force will slow and overwhelm universal expansion and begin attracting the universe back into itself, forming a singularity. This event is referred to as The Omega Point concept and is the creation returning back to the timeless infinity it originated from, returning to The Source. So Spiral Power, the driving force of evolution, is literally the universes desire to return to perfection and be free from all lack and limitation. It’s ever increasing, it transcends all obstacles, it pulls all consciousness back together into one unity through the force of love. It’s the universe answering The Source’s call to return home. A book called The Law Of One lays out a great structure for this concept.

I dabbled into stuff like Mr. 0 and full metal panic, but gurren lagann was just one to the pile I figured "why not", and became my favorite of all time. I love watching reactions on KZbin to the show, because you always get to see people go through similar waves of emotions throughout, like loving kaminas machismo and will to carry on, suffering with his loss, picking yourself back up after that, creating bonds with friends, and punching an alien god mech with a dimension sized mech of your own, it's always a good time.

Kamina means "the top" and Simon means "the bottom"

[@technic1285]

@@iancomtois9832 I see it, now. I love how dumb simple anime names are.

[@k_tess]

Actually it's not at all. Gurren Lagann is a retelling of the New Testament. (Though with a little more Gnotiscism than I would like). But yeah Simon is named after Simon Peter.

[@VoidSpirals]

I love how we all see the anime having Kamina as the main character looking through the perspective of a side character But we were oh so wrong.

As a mf that watches gurren lagann I can confirm that we all are buff

[@zeemaster99]

I'd watched this anime 2 times before, and while good, it was just a nice anime to me. But I recently watched it for a third time and it clicked. I started hitting the gym, playing more with my pets, improving my efficiency at work, and just overall starting to fight back against against the inertness that prevailed over my everyday. This show kicks ass. It certainly kicked mine into gear.

[@ronpaulrevered]

This is so real. I was running the other day and when I was near the end and fading fast a voice echoed in my mind "LET ME SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!" and I finished strong.

[@mikethaison432]

When I was taking real analysis I failed my first test. As a straight A student I was so shattered by it, I missed the class for a week. Stayed in my dorm and watched Gurren Lagann. Gave me the motivation to comeback. Worked double time to make up for what I lost and I ended up passing with a B+. Now I do powerlifting and rewatched the show when I got injured.

Gurren lagann. The ninth best fiction ever written and produced. So fucking insanely good. Built on the pillar of gianax. Enchanced by gods of animation, music, storytelling. Made with so little money it's baffling. Forged by years of experience. Surpassing hundreds of thousands of others. Unequal in heaven and earth. This. THIS. THIS! THIS IS TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN!

[@Scratchz]

i've watch gurren lagann on around 2016, keep rewatching it till now and it getting better everytime i rewatched it even tho the content doesnt change at all

[@pico_og]

I swear to god that’s actually what happens

[@ShadowNetWeaver1]

I first saw Gurren Lagann back in 2006 when it premiered on the experimental anime bloc of the Sci-fi channel's Anime Monday night. It was just a weird but funny 22 minute episode show at first. Then as it kept going, my 14 year old soul was set on fire by the sheer willpower generated by this glorious work. When I was doing sports, I'd replay scenes from the show in my head with that killer soundtrack blasting in my heart, and I'd always do well when I was in the headspace of Gurren Lagaan. Salute to one of the great ones, boys! *salutes*

[@coolbro6969]

Gurren lagann is the single best piece of media among all formats ever created.

[@MajorasWrath12]

Gurren Lagann transcends emotions. It has helped me out of depressive episodes time and time again, to the point I give it at least an annual rewatch to give me spikes in motivational energy. It's too good for us.

Since Evangelion depressed the hell outta me, I guess I gotta watch gurren lagann to have the opposite affect

These two shows are matter and antimatter, made by the same studio. Same message told in two perfectly opposite ways.

Is it strange to want an animated deer’s physique?

[@tobigomez3069]

I love Gurren Lagann, and i recommended to my friend to watch it, he don't like mechas and i was nervous that he didn't like the show because of that, but he just drop it in chapter 7... yes, one chapter before the most important event. I told him to finish it, but he doesn't want to do it, and it's a shame, because i'm pretty sure he will like it at least, and the main reason of why he should watch it, is because i think it may help him, he has issues with himself and with his choices, and i saw how this anime helped a lot of people and motivated to keep going, and i hope that will be the case with him.

[@tylosenpai6920]

Tried tricking him into watching it together ?

[@tobigomez3069]

@@tylosenpai6920 actually i didn't, maybe because he watch anime with his mom and her boyfriend, and i assume he'll refuse because his family won't watch it, but i can ask at least

[@xTORREfiolx]

@@tobigomez3069 Did you manage to let your friend go past the 7th episode? I have a friend that's watching it with me in the span of many months, and for his tastes the amine started being good after episode 14. We're on 18 after watching 4 episodes in a row, and he doesn't know yet what he'll get into the next time... And hopefully he'll think hard on TTGL's messages and will watch it again on his own! Hope your friend finished it too :)

[@Arkad-9]

All the music of TTGL are good, but god the last ending is just perfect

[@akimakang]

Just finish watching it yesterday, was one of the best anime who surpass all of my expectations. To the first episode until the last one, This anime was truly a rollercoster of emotions (To happy-go-beat-villains at EVANGELION type of stuff). SO MUCH efforts has got into it from an anime made in 2007. And i feel like it finally got his recognition lately , with the recomendations of it on KZbin (like that meme summary from 13 years ago, really good, or that Lego cartoon show idk the name of). Just wanna express how much this show was good and an masterpiece that needs more attention.

[@robertlinkous8951]

So there's a cool video breaking down this anime compared to its brother Neon Genesis. TTGL is the absolute antithesis to NE design. And the aspects aren't frightening to the MC, but strength and unity. You should give the comparison videos a shot. I think you'll like em

[@idkbru-_-]

Lost 100 pounds listing to this and soairo days on repeat for the last couple of months love this anime

[@randomturtle1562]

Man, I watched this show a few months ago. I was going through a bit of a tough time mentally, with this show along with my friends encouragement I was able to get through it. But above all, by it was so goddamn empowering to watch Kamina clobber Simon in the face and scream "GRIT THOSE TEETH!! ". Even en now just recalling that scene give me goosebumps, makes me want to charge head on into any challenge that I may face going forward.
