If you're a mecha fan or you're interested in seeing giant robots beat each other up, then there is no doubt that you should check out Gurren Lagann if you're not familiar with it yet.
Gurren Lagann, also known as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in Japan, is one of those anime series that was not adapted from a manga or light novel. This series is directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and playwright Kazuki Nakashima. It was animated by Gainax and released in 2007 with a total of 27 episodes.
Gurren Lagann is set in a version of Earth where mankind has been living underground for years under the rule of Lordgenome, the Spiral King. These people live in isolated villages where they have no contact with others except the people of their own villages.
Simon is a young boy who is an assigned digger for his village. He has an older brother figure named Kamina, who dreams of reaching the surface. One day, Simon encounters a small drill-shaped key of some sort, alongside a small mecha that looks like a Gunmen (a type of mecha).
After their village gets attacked by a large Gunmen, they use the small Gunmen (which Kamina dubbed the Lagann) to defeat it. After this battle, they finally reach the surface. Upon reaching the top, they learn that they have more Gunmen to defeat—thus they set on a journey to fight for humanity, gathering friends and allies along the way.
