The Blue Fox Alley

I could have used a more presentable heading for this post but I believe my title effuses raw beauty and plain honesty. It more or else sums up how I am feeling. HURRGHH!!!!!

I mean, how long has it been since exaggeration has been that great? Gurren Lagann is blatant in stating that ‘hey fiction does not have to be that realistic’ and goes straight into the point which is to entertain the hell out of us. Up to this point, I will not bundle up a summary of what the first five episodes are about because the very first episode deserves a post for itself. How should I describe it? Like the thundering and sonorous sounding of a trumpet the first episode was; simply explosive.

 It only took 30 seconds for me to absolutely fall in love with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the screenshots above speak for my cause.

It is amazing how the atmosphere of the show changes completely, from an adrenaline pumping battle scene to a dull setting where the protagonist Simon is introduced. I did not really want to ruin the story by checking out spoilers so I am assuming that the awesomesauce dude who was grinning confidently on that giant ship is actually Simon in the near future. That was my assumption and it generated interest in me to ponder over the huge contrast between the Simon of the future and the current Simon as told through the ongoing time line.

 

And here we are with the introduction of ZOMG Kamina. No time is wasted in showing his brazen personality huh. Now this is the point where the appetizer for story’s theme is served. We see Kamina convincing Simon and other members of his small gang to attempt to break the ceiling of the underground village only to be halted by their village chief.

Oh Gainax.

 If this was Code Geass, there be yaoi pandering by now.

*Insert witty comment*

Suzaku! I hereby knight yooo…

Kong!

To me, the origins of Simon and Kamina is metaphorical in a way that living as a digger or living underground is somewhat connected to the notion of an life being unfulfilling. And Kamina’s desire to reach the surface is equivalent to us wanting to accomplish our ambitions. Alright, that is a typical theme revisited over and over again. Common is the message of never succumbing to adversity and chasing your dreams, yet I believe that greatness is accomplished by doing ordinary things with extraordinary results and that is what Gurren Lagann has achieved so far to me.

 

Sorry, no witty comment here as well. =(

 

It’s… it’s…

It’s the P-Meister! Barf.

The man whose manliness causes me to doubt my own manhood.

I wet myself during this scene.

I would have ran. This is what makes Gurren Lagann so awesome.

Huh? Woman?

How dare you! But at least you have a big gun.

Hurgh!!! Big bad guy arrives and the village is threatened with danger. Yoko arrives and the village is in for a treat.

Um, I will kinda try and hit its transmitter.

That is gonna immobilise the thing. Just gotta take it slow and steady.

I am coming up with a 69.69 percentage of hitting it.

All right chums, let’s do this!

I loled at Kamina.

When it comes to blogging about Gurren Lagann, I realise that there is a limit to how much I can type before breaking into senseless war cries that are the result of the infectious influence of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. So allow me to end here.

 

 Lagann.

Just simply starring at him can get me pregnant.

BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Pinocchio

GARness rising.

Oh gosh. I actually shouted with them. Seriously.

Oh yeah!

HURRGHH!!!!!!!!

‘Gone With The Wind’

Pierce the Earth, then the Heavens.

When I see clouds, I think of Shinkai Makoto but that is so wrong for this case.

So when is the next episode?

I am so ashamed of picture spamming. orz

P.S to P-Meister: STOP COMMENTING IN OLD POSTS IN OTHER BLOGS ALREADY!!
