This is a non-stop rollercoaster with a fresh "spin" on a hero's journey to manhood wrapped in a love letter to all things giant and robot!

For those who remained at Gainax after the departure of Hideaki Anno, Gurren Lagann represented a new start that would later launch their careers into a new frontier at Trigger.
