What is Gurren Lagann? I'm not going to give a summary -- that's what Gurren Lagann is ABOUT. I'm gonna tell you what it actually is:
Once upon a time, there were three gods: Spectacle, Bombast, and Boobage. These gods were the absolute best of friends, inseparable from the beginning of their existence. But their explosive personalities resonated and compounded beyond limit every time they decided to have a wild adventure.
One night, these three gods decided to get
drunk from an
alcoholic concoction fermented from a mixture of testosterone, napalm, and concentrated pigmole blood. The result was a fantastic
orgy that rivaled
even the wildest of Dionysian parties in all of mythology.
As the three gods shrugged off their inhibitions, the night became hazy as they struggled to satisfy their bestial, sexual urges with the
help of pleasurable company. Their seed burst forth from their loins, mixing as it flowed in a spiral pattern, and this divine essence impregnated the
brain of a Mr. Kazuki Nakashima.
Nine months later, the entity in Nakashima's
brain was delivered at Gainax hospital, after three hundred hours of agonizing labor. The newborn
anime was christened: Gurren Lagann.
