I love the alteration of Kamina's "your drill is the drill that pierces the heavens" into Simon's "my drill is the drill that creates the heavens."
It transforms one of the show's core messages from "if you believe in yourself, you can surpass all limits" into "if you believe in yourself, the only limits you have are those you make yourself"
And that's...so awesome
its not true youre limimted
Not if we believe in ourselves...
But have faith in the us that believes in us.
@@WarEagleWalrusdefinition of lost the plot
There’s also the parallel that has with Simon’s speech to the anti spiral about how the only limits he has are the ones he created, of course being just before this
I love the part where he sees his bro one last time and Kamina says “When the Hell you get bigger than me?” It’s was symbolic and literal. We always see Kamina as larger than life. Yet in many ways even in the most literal Simon had grown bigger.
Tears, just tears. Gurren Lagann is my all time fav and Ithink it will always be. It's almost impossible to find something that generates the same as ttgl did. I love to see everyone's videos on this show, everytime I see a small video I instantly watch it. I love the community so much, we all have this feeling of brotherhood. Finding someone who shares the same passion for something you love is unique, since we are not a huge community it's always nice to came across people like you. Came from Reddit btw
I have loved this show since I first started anime at the ripe age of like 10 lol, it’s always been one of my favorites and I’m glad I could share this with our community
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER
Recommend: Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
@@Anotsu_UwUanime or manga?
@@simina738 o watch anime series. But manga also masterpiece
Digging your way to the heavens is counterintuitive, impossible. It takes someone like Kamina to inspire to do the impossible, to see the invisible...
row row fight the powa🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊🔊
@@sho8293 Sir, I thank you, and I salute you...
Are you god? Do you have the coordinates to heaven?
@multichannel9256 Alrighty then, you win the snark award for the day. Me, I'm just going by the symbolism offered by every religion and story ever. One always ASCENDS to the Heavens. Olympus is a giant mountain. One descends into the Underworld, the home of the dead, not of God or the gods.
bro i hate you you perfectly worded everything that makes the show special to me and brought out all the raw emotions i had for this show and now i crying again you bastard
One note, Yoko is not 14. There are very few confirmed ages and her’s is not one of them. We know she’s AROUND Simon’s age, not AT Simon’s age, so she’s not in her late 20s or anything but she isn’t 14
yes I know that’s why I didn’t mention it I just thought it’d be a funny joke to add in after the fact. I have zero qualms with her and Kaminas relationship- I really like it actually lol
@@JayRath I also like it so that’s why I combat it when I can, people try and raise that as a legitimate criticism against the show when it isn’t
yeah I can def understand that- but don’t get me wrong bro I wasn’t serious. Love me some Yoko
@@JayRath I gochu
I STILL remember watching this when it came out initially PURELY for Hot-Anime-Girl (Yoko), then suddenly being all choked up & tears being crushed by Ep 8/9 and then realising that we are not even half way. Probably still on of my all time favourites for that the climax endings Before and After time skip. Bloody hell I had a wave of emotions just watching this. I also had NO CLUE the Movies existed
The ending to the first movie is also slightly different and I found it really good as well. I’d totally watch both of the movies if you get a chance. Glad I could bring some nostalgia for ya!
Lmao same, I also watched it only for Yoko but I didn't think I'm watching an all-time masterpiece
Lol, I also watched it just because one day at a convention I saw a really hot girl in a Yoko cosplay when I was a teen.

Man the moment I saw kamina and Simon’s relationship I was hooked
I am very biased towards people who like things that I like, while said things don't get the recognition it deserves. I have first watched Gurren Lagann when I was 7 or 8, not really understanding any intricasies, just indulging in the fighting and shouting. This year, I remembered watching it back in the day after randomly seeing clips of ep 11, where Simon picks himself up, so I just took that day to rewatch it fully. I understood some messages behind Gurren Lagann, but after videos like yours I've been given even more to understand. My fascination ran deep and I placed it on second place of my all-time favourites. After failing several times to get my friends to watch it, I rewatched it again. Don't know why. Just felt like it. Then I managed to convince one to watch it side by side. That would mark the third rewatch this year. Another friend agreed and I rewatched it a fourth time. My algorithm started to bombard me with Gurren Lagann videos, which brought me here. I'm not exactly sure why I'm writing all of this, but just know that I just wanted to say thank you for giving me another why to look upon Gurren Lagann.
I stumbled upon this video in my recommended. Bravo. Youve done justice to in my opinion the most profound piece of media ever made.
First watched it when I was like 16. Now I’m 27 rewatching it and the fan service got so old so fast. Especially with them being under age and all. Hard to look past that but the story is still my favorite in all of anime. Exponential growth via will power
nothing less than absolute peak fiction
Fire as F*CK. Cannot talk about gurren Lagann without getting emotional
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 fi gers 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!
Edit: goddammit! This video got me so hyped I could cry! 100% rewatching the series again today. Its only been like 2 weeks or so since I finished the show, but shit, I live it so much I have 0 issue going back and watchin it again right away.
"We evolve beyond the person we were a minute before! Little by little, we advance a bit further with each turn. That's how a drill works!"
It means a lot to me that so many people love this story like I do. Thank you for your thoughts, and I hope you enjoyed the video!
This video is only 10k views and underrated, but he just worded everything accurately without a fail or misinterpretation, he fully understands what the anime is all about.
9:40 the Kamina theme hits home. Good job editor
Single handedly the most compelling take and honest take on My favorite anime of all time.
Funniest thing is how at the end when Simon is an old man he’s just like nah I’m nobody😂
nothing else to say, it's good, and gurren lagann save my life
This video was sick as fuck, a masterpiece analysing a masterpiece
Still one of if not my favorite anime I’ve ever watched. And I watched it when I was like 12-13, then rewatched it when I was around 17, might rewatch it again. It doesn’t get old no matter how much time has passed, and I still see myself going back to see clips of certain points or listening to some of its soundtracks
Gurren lagann is a n anime that has soooooooo many levels of time, logic, narrative, and understanding to it is almost impossible to get the full breath and appreciation of the writing behind this anime on a first watch. Gurren lagann is the best anime in my opinion because of the fact that there is so much more to pull out of this anime than just what is shown upon the surface and if you are willing and capable you can dive in further to it. Truly a masterpiece.
Typing this as I pass 6:30, something worth noting is that Kamina died before he got back up. When they combine to form Gurren Lagann, Gurren's cockpit is empty, and Kamina's corpse is forced to move through sheer fighting spirit.
Finished the show in a little over a week a few days ago, and gotta say I loved it! This video really helped sink in the true greatness of this show to me. Truly, this story needs to be more popular if you ask me. 10/10 Gurren Lagann, very well done video my man!
Big shout out to your video! Brilliant recap of Gurren Lagaan! It reminds me of the reason I was in love with this show. I lost my grandad a couple of years ago. Life sucks. But the fighting spirit Simon manifests in the show inspire me to move forwards regardless how rough the future path lays out. Your video reenergises me and reminds me to keep believing in myself. Thank you for your amazing work and keep it up mate!
Just weeping
Just earned a sub. Amazing video
This video is criminally underrated 💀
thank you
BANGER VIDEO
Bro seeing Viral in that dream with a wife and a daughter just for him to realize he can't have kids is heartbreaking.
"And I was having such a sappy dream, too"
11:41 well that energy will be the end of the universe when it goes past the limit, killing basically infinite of Lives, they aren't so wrong.
When I was younger 10+ years ago expecting Anime Tidds I got something better from my youth
man i am crying so fucking much.
thanks for this video
thanks gurren lagann.
just makes me sad that in all this videos yoko looks like a side character.
she add so much to the story and people ignore her
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And yeah- it always sucks because I do love Yoko and what she brings to the table but I found it kind of difficult to bring her up a lot. If I ever make another Gurren Lagann video, you can bet she'll be a major part.
@@JayRath the fact that she affects the story a lot but dont actualy have an direct impact is coo. Also looks to have her own story that is not much involved with simon story
Belive in the you that belives in you
All right fine I’ll watch gurren lagann again
(dies of peak fiction)
amazing video 💜💜💜
You are too kind, friend
I found your channel through the tokyo ghoul video and i gave a sub and now i find a video about gurren lagann, and you just put out great video after great video
thank you man! the kind words from you guys keep me doing this and wanting to do even better
@@JayRath its just nice to find others who share your thoughts on different manga and anime, I felt like Tokyo ghoul was so Underappreciated and I tell people who have any interest "it's sad but don't watch the anime you won't enjoy it as much" and then finding out that I'm not the only one who found 125 to be more than just the two having an intimate moment. then we come here to Gurren Lagann both Tokyo ghoul and Gurren Lagann have helped me push through hard times and nothing I watch or read compares. you keep up the great work and ill be here every time, if not for the content I watch but also to maybe dive into the content I was more hesitant about.
love your thoughts man- thank you for the support I’ll keep makin good stuff
GAWD F*CKING DAMN IT
im a teen again
;--;
it is and always will be one of the all time favorites, especially because of the everychanging unfairness of the real world..its just a genius piece of story..
The hopes of those who will follow❤❤❤❤. I'm crying bro
12:32 what are those bad things? We need specificy so there isn't much to interpret.
From what i'm getting he's a man stuck between his people and the end of Trillions of lives so, it's not exactly easy to pick the "good option".
He is dealing with the trolly problem where no answer is really rightious.
Bro is just 900 likes this deserve better
i hope you make time to go see the movies in January, im going to the dubs on the 17th and 24th
I definitely hope to, been wanting to see that final fight in dub for a decade
Thoughts on the new Gurren Lagann movies that’s gonna release in theaters in January 2024?
Looking forward to them!
Which studio is in charge, Gainax or TRIGGER?
It’s a recut/ rerelease of the previous movies! But I believe Gainax is in charge
@@JayRath Trigger is actually handling them this time, they (or at least imiashi) has the rights to gurren lagann now since 2021.
I can't wait to see it dubbed after all these years, I'm so hyped for the movies
I thought, Kamina and Simon weren’t related by blood
Great video, don't rely on the loud meme sounds though. This show is all about emotional moments and you can feel that in your words and the tone and playing a loud meme sound just ruins it. Just saying.
its been theorized that Spiral power is capable of bring back the dead and with Simon power, its is possible to do.
If Simon brings back Nia, why not Kamina? Why not the Kitan and the others? Why not the whole humanity? There is no clear line to be drawn.
But in doing so, its will ultimately bring the end to the universe via "Spiral Nemesis" that the anti-spiral was fearing about.
and that why Simon didnt do so..............
It sucks we lose kamina but the story wouldn’t be the same without his actions
2 dead boyfriends
Can anime ever do this again?
19:59
Is it ok to be unable to enjoy Gurren Lagaan? I want to watch it so badly but I can't. I'm afraid Nia's death will trigger the memory of my ex's suicide. But people from the anime fandom have shamed me for it, accusing me of murdering her.
11:44 did it? You may not how but you did know the criteria ofcourse not keeping track or bothering with alterative solution would result in a "unxpected" destruction.
You were warned, failed to come up with something better so you get consequences.
well on reality simon doesnt need lagann anymore he can destroy laws of universe and revive people as he wants but he doesnt do that he doesnt play god role
i still dont get why this show is captivating, why the robot is bigger than a universe and where this robot origin came from, if its just stucked into the earth ground?
This is a great video apart from the stupid loud edits.
The video is fantastic, but I just can’t understand why did you feel the need to add those loud, annoying memes.
Turned that awesome, final, fist fight into a joke, why?!
I wanted to do something more dramatic and I did at first, but I couldn’t get it to work with showing the clip as well as not seem cringe in the other way, so I chose to make it a fun bit
3:07 under playing it aren't you? Why? Why is Anderus so much lesser than Kaminas.
Kaminas too can become quite detructive and it did, it led to the end of universe just so he could watch his mess tear it apart.
Both have good and bad points to their ideology but seeing that for some reason aleast generally the beastmen are just men, no women and more importantly because you talk about this beastmen like this tells me they weren't well written.
Like they good concept of showing a Flaw in Kamina's belief while still being flawed themselves.
Why do they believe in the others that believe in them to the extreme, rather than use that basis to race the expectaitons of yourself?
Apperantly the humans don't actually engange with because that would mean actually understanding te balance of confidence and Humility, confidence can easily become Arrogance as you ingore the reality around you.
Humility can be couvter intutive, as focusing on others can forget you can't do that if you can't focus on your self.
A good deal that should led to, ROW ROW CONTROL THE POWER.
The power is needed but it can't just be built infinetly without a limit it'll destroy anything worthwhile.(which yeah that happens as you gotta understand, due to luck sometimes you can't see the invisble or stop the unstoppable, but that doesn't you can't use your powah)
Veruk should've and I hope he did find the balance of caring for his people's safety in stopping the constant danger of SPiral power while also understanding to not be too oppressive on those who want him to also be.
Kamina should've understood while his dream is a grand aspiration, innocents are worth it, including the beastpeople.(atleast the show should've done more focus on rather than leave it as a bummer)
could do without the earsplitting shitty meme cut-ins but good video
