A japanese anime produced by GAINAX in 2007. Has achieved great fame on the internet in a short time. Thought the show itself was popular and overall very good, the sheer level of epic and manlyness caused many watchers to hype the series.

No one is exactly sure why this is, but Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is said to be the true definition of the term "epic". Viewers are advised to be cautious.

Whether or not you decide to watch the anime, it's important to note that if you try it out, you will never look at sunglasses the same way you used to.

Sunglasses, real men, half naked chicks, galaxy sized robots, epic speeches, from boy to man themes, identity problems. This is the recipe of TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN.
