Not much elaboration is required from me when I assertively say that Hollywood is definitely gonna make really awesome renderings of certain anime show. Dragonball had Goku (as a Gaijin)  going to high school and Zac Efron is gonna be Sousuke in Hollywood’s version of Full Metal Panic.

IT HAS BEEN SAIAD THAT DISNEY IS GOING TO MAKE A HOLLYWOOD VERSON OF GURREN LAGANN! YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!

Probably one of the best gattai scenes for me

If I had to explain in general why Gurren Lagann is so ROCKING MY PANTS, a rather blunt analogy would be used. Unlike most typical shows that can be considered ‘posers’ because try so hard to make an impression with all sorts of references and yabadaba, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is like this half-naked punk dancing and doing crotch thrusts right in your face. You just cannot help but like it.

If there is such a thing as a G-spot for AWESOMESAUCE, this show has definitely hit mine.

Yeah…

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.

Rare Drop

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!!!!!!!!

Shippu Jinrai Kyaku

‘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!!

There are times when you would doubt the worth of your own pathetic existence and that is what I am experiencing at the moment.

Yes I missed it due to my unfortunate case of being a newly born anime fan and I feel ashamed to have done so. Oh and something tells me that I will be looking back at this moment and feel embarrassed about myself feeling embarrassed over not watching anime.  

I believe no introduction is needed for this show since everyone is like so acquainted with it. In fact, this post is not meant to share Gurren Lagann but a confession of disappointment in myself. But perhaps it is a blessing in disguise since I was not exactly equipped with the right mentality to appreciate shows like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann back then. So that could have been disastrous do you not think so?

Anyway I doubt I am in a composed state to write my thoughts in a decent way because the powah that is surging through my burning body is so great that I feel like I can do push-ups capable of pushing the Earth down. Pardon me but The Blue Fox Alley is going back in time to blog about Gurren Lagann as I proceed deeper into the story.

The P-Meister has yet to watch Gurren Lagann so he was subjected to some fervent promoting from my side. This is what he had to say… pfft the ignorant fool.

An excerpt of our conversation on msn:

 Sojourner: Gurren Lagann is awesomesauce to me.

P-Meister: But eventually it will fade away.

Sojourner: ? huh?

P-Meister: Even awesomesauce will fade away with the passing of time! But my Sakura-chan will never! LOL

Sojourner: Sakura of Cardcaptor? What does she have to do with Gurren Lagann?

P-Meister: Look at her! She has withstood the test of time and has been around for almost 13 years.

P-Meister: I mean… I have known Sakura-chan longer than my girlfriend.

Sojourner: But not as long as your mother. You have known her since she spat you out of her birth canel. Now let us get back to the topic of Gurren Lagann.

P-Meister: Hmm…. I might have known Sakura-chan when I was still a sperm but I shall not disclose the details behind that.

Sojourner: Sakutard. And Gurren Lagann is awesome.

 Anyway, I intend to blog more about Gurren Lagann in the future. :3
