What is Gurren Lagann?

Gurren Lagann follows Simon, a shy digger who discovers a mysterious glowing object that changes everything. When Kamina befriends him with infectious enthusiasm, the two form the Gurren Brigade with dreams of escaping their underground village. As disaster strikes from the world above, Simon, Kamina, Yoko, and their small robot Lagann must defend their home and journey to a harsh surface world filled with enemies.

In a far away future, mankind lives underground in huge caves, unknowing of a world above with a sky and stars. In the small village of Jiha, Simon, a shy boy who works as a digger discovers a strange glowing object during excavation. The enterprising Kamina, a young man with a pair of rakish sunglasses and the passion of a firey sun, befriends Simon and forms a small band of brothers, the Gurren Brigade, to escape the village and break through the ceiling of the cave to reach the surface, which few believe exist. The village elder won't hear of such foolishness and punishes the Brigade. However, when disaster strikes from the world above and the entire village is in jeopardy, it's up to Simon, Kamina, a girl with a big gun named Yoko, and the small yet sturdy robot, Lagann, to save the day. The new friends journey to the world above and find that the surface is a harsh battlefield, and it's up to them to fight back against the rampaging Beastmen to turn the tide in the humans' favor! Pierce the heavens, Gurren Lagann!
