Gurren Lagaan is about a young boy by the name of simon (pronounced as: Sea-mon/See-mon) who digs tunnel for a living because of living underground. Him and his blood brother have a dream of going up to the surface to see what it is like. Thaey attempt to do it but get caught by the village leader. Then they meet this sexy looking woman from littner village and dig deep where Simon finds a robot looking head which he can pilot with his core drill. They escape the village and come up to the surface.
They meet characters such as Rossiu, the black siblings (Kittan, Kionon, Kyion and Kyon) sorry I don't remember all of there names but I know they all began with the letter K, Gimmy and Darry, Nia and many others. With that we are are also introduced to some badies such as Viral, LordGenome and so many others.
Story wise it was good but had a very slow start, I especially like very emotional *spoiler warning* and I picked up many lessons from it. Music wise it was okay, though in the second half they shouldn't have added singing.
The dub was very good I we have a very good cast including Yuri Lowanthal, Kyle Hebert, Michelle Ruff, Johnny Yong Bosch, Doug Stone, Steve Blum, Jamieson Price, Karren Stressman, GK Bown, Stephanie Sheh, Chris Smith, Brianne Siddal, Mela Lee, Hynden Walch/Bridgit Hoffman, Sam Riegel and everybody else thanks to Tony Oliver did a good job. My only fix with the dub was that Brianne Siddal was still voicing Gimmy after the time skip despite being a teenager. If they cast someone like Ben Diskin, Bryce Papenbrock or even Michael Sinterniklaas then that would have been much better.
The animation/art style was pretty unique and interesting it is done by the same person behind Kill La Kill from what I have heard.
If you like a good mecha anime especially ones with good lessons I highly recommend. As I massive fan of mech type animes such as Code Geass and the Vision of escaflowne I really like this.
