As some one who's watched anime for many years, none of them have come close to making me feel so invested, so emotionally in tune with what's going on like Gurren Lagann. This show affected me in many ways becoming an emotional rollercoaster ride. From feeling empowering and triumphant, to smacking you in the face like a giant brick wall of sadness, this is one anime that really plucks your heart strings. It's actually to the point Gurren Lagann is practically KNOWN all over the internet for making people cry, it's almost part of the experience. I would become happy for the main character Simon, and feel sad for him, feel enraged when he faces tragity, and root for him by yelling at my tv, like how football fans root for their favorite team. This anime would make me feel like I could achieve more in life, in a world where I feel trapped and stagnated.

This show is practically an anti depressant, it shows how we all have the potential to become something greater, and although facing the unfamiliar can be scary, it can in the end unlock what was hidden from us, to let us see for ourselves that WE were holding ourselves back and become someone new, someone greater. Gurren Lagann is a show about perseverance, your mind and soul are your greatest weapon. When the world says "no" that you can't do something, let your mind kick logic out the window and prove them wrong. Let your mind say "yes". Gurren Lagann is truly a beautiful anime both in animation, music, characters and story telling. A true masterpiece that shows the amount of depth and creativity that can go into anime.

It's shows like Gurren Lagann that make me proud to like anime, to love the world of Gurren Lagann, wishing I could go there. Knowing that this show has helped other people like me, who aren't very happy, feel like they have a chance, that they too can better themselves. Your life is a drill, your past and present swirl together to form who your are and who you can become. That is the essence of Gurren Lagann's theme, become something greater.
