Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, or Gurren Lagann to the majority of its fans (who lack the attention span to remember its full title when creating ED articles), is an animu made by Gainax, who decided they had gone too long without making a show about penises.
The story centers around the typical emo kid main character who finds a robot and proceeds to kill furfags with it, along side his town's local pedophile and a talking pair of tits. The main character's robot has the ability to hax all the other robots it comes in contact with, resulting in some Katamari-Damacy like shit known as 'GATTAI!!', or 'union'. Eventually a loli is intoduced to the show, but its later revealed that she's a sleeper agent destined to cause the extinction of humanity when the main character makes a failed attempt to propose to her. Oops.
Gurren Lagann is very popular with 4chan's /a/, so much so that /a/ has begun hating in much the same way it does The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
The only character that isn't entirely made of fail is a soldier for the furfag army, Viral. Weeaboos post over 9000 threads about Freehaven everyday in /a/ and /y/. Most of these are full of pictures of him taking it in the ass. Because everyone is gay for Sage. No exceptions. But, to be fair, he fights with a bigass meat-cleaver-thing and beats up other furfags in prison showers. Later in the series he breaks out of prison with Simon and joins him in fighting the other furfags.
Other stuff that happens in the show includes:
- Robot hijacking
- Main character's brother making a robot work because he wants it to badly enough
- Believing in me, who believes in you
- Running up ladders
- Shitty GAINAX ending
- The furfag leader getting out of his giant robot and fucking the hero's robot's shit up with his bare hands
- Anonymous drooling
- The main character becoming a space pirate and going to war with the entire universe. (In an alternate universe. LOL GAINAX.)
- Viral marketing

[edit] Plot
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is like 4chan, its about a story of humans/tripfags fight against Han-Rasen/Anonymous. The story revolves around an entire race's discovery of the world, and then continues to take what they think was once their right from the furfags, and the tripfags succeed in taking the world using the power of tripcode.
However the furfags were trying to defend themselves and the tripfags from something much more sinister, that being Anonymous Legion. Anonymous wished to use Majora's mask to crush the tripfags, however the tripfags ruined their ship and turned the moon into the biggest tripcode in existence. Using this they go to fight head on with Anonymous, only to discover great despair.
Alternatively it could be seen as simply saying 'go outside, retard'. With a number of other meaningful messages about life that wee/a/boo managed to pull out of their arses to justify crying over fiction.
In reality, Gurren Lagann is simply an amalgamation of stolen ideas. In fact, it was executed much better back when it was called Evangelion, Gundam, GaoGaiGar, Final Fantasy X , Star Wars episode 5, House of M, Independence Day, Ideon, Yamato, FLCL, Gunbuster, Captain Harlock, and CHiPs.
[edit] Characters
- Simon Ass Driller - the resident shota for much of the series, after a timeskip he becomes some kind of man whore who insists on saving everyone else.
- Kamina - originally the town pedophile, he dies in episode eight. Many Anon mourned his death as the loss of a supremely MANRY character. His key traits were his orange/red sunglasses, extremely long sword and his 'plzberapingmyarse' tattoos.
- Yoko Ono - some sort of man-killing slut machine; when one man dies over her she moves onto the next.
- Viral - I think Viral is a pretty cool guy, eh is moe and doesnt afraid of anything.
- Lord Genome aka The Spiral King - Nia's father and ruler of the furries, don't worry though, he doesn't yiff. In fact, he uses the same method to create furfags to make himself a harem of delicious loli. Somewhere along the line they blew his shit up, so now he's just a head in a jar.
- Bruce Ironstaunch - threw a rock at Rossiu and rose to minor internets stardom.
- Tony ´Rossiu´ Stark - a religion fanboy Simon takes in out of pity. He later betrays his fuckbuddy in order to rule human civilisation and imprison anyone who disagrees with him.
- Nia Nymphatica McRapebait III - Lord Genome's loli daughter who grows up into Simon's worst nightmare. She was originally found packaged in a storage box.
- Beamspam "Attenborough" McMuppet III - almost a mascot character due to his quirky design, Beamspam likes to hits lots of pretty buttons so to fire lasers.
- Kittan - Yoko's second victim, Kittan was once a proud member of the KKK along with his three sisters, after meeting Kamino & co. he decided to ditch riding backwards dogs for a more comfortable, star-shaped mech.
- Boota - Simon's BFF who turns into a shota at the end of the series, only to turn back into a pig again. Boota spends most of the series in Yoko's cleavage, in Kamina's lap or on Simon's arse. In one episode Kamina and Simon share in eating his arse out.
- Leeron - a scientist you can only assume is male. His design is taken directly from Eureka of Eureka 7, and is still just as freaky.
- Anti-Spiral - the final boss. Anti-Spiral enjoys raping young girls, causing despair and giving people LSD.
[edit] Catchphrases

[edit] Episode Four Drama
Episode four of the series was guest directed by Osamu Kobayashi, as a result everyone in the episode appeared constipated or as though they'd walked out of some gay fancomic. The weeaboos on 2channel began to complain about this, and Takami Akai, one of the Gainaxfags that produced Gurren Lagann and a 2channel regular, saw their comments and responded that reading them was "like putting [his] face next to an anus and breathing deeply." The weeaboos soon found out about how he felt about their constructive criticism and eventually Akai left Gainax because of teh butthurt. Hopefully he did it for the lulz.
Though not particularly memorable to those outside of /a/, there was a raid made on Takami Akai's blog entry. Anonymous defended the episode against the Japanese weeaboo who insisted it was blasphemy, this resulted in much short-lived lulz and Engrish.

[edit] Popularity on the Internets
Despite the blatantly anti-fur message of the show (for the first half at least), this series is increasingly popular with all the great kitsoonay arteests on the internets - and half the fangirl population of DevianTART. A large number of 16-year-old girls will claim to have watched every episode on Youtube and absolutely love it! o.m.g. SimonxViral 4evahs. So hawt.
[edit] Obscure Memes
- Kaminaclose.jpg
- 40%
- Grapehippo
- Dame desu wa, Simon-san!
- Kamin's manly/red/orange shades being edited onto everything
- GAR - further popularised by but not originating from; a lame attempt to justify a collection of homoerotic images of a fictional male character on your hard drive
- ANIIIIKIIII
- Delicious shouta
- Something about going all the way next time (find real quote)
[edit] Cutey Honey Simon
Being batshit insane the main character's voice actor once worked on a series for girls which involved three young men in an all boys school dressing as girls. In one scene he had to sing the theme song to the classic ecchi series 'Cutie Honey' - upon realising this some Japanese fan made a video to it and fangirls around the world came. Delicious shouta, do want. Wtf? Tits or GTFO
[edit] Double K: Garhalla Vice
In what may be the only good thing a weeaboo ever conceived, Garhalla Vice is about dead people doing awesome shit in the 80s. Or something.
Nobody will care in a week.
 These designs aren't final. It will take at least a year before they decide on the designs of the characters - that is if they're still interested. |

[edit] Rating
- Action: OVER 9000. The amount of shit that gets blown up increases almost every episode.
- Lulz: 7. Episode 4 caused massive drama and lulz galore.
- Gayness: 3x^2. Tons of tits, but Leeron wants to pierce all the guy's heavens, if you know what I mean. Fuckloads of Phallic Imagery.
- Furry Gayness: -10. Whole show is a furry holocaust if you ignore that one faggoty speech about man and beast. Viral is below 40%.
