This Show is art. The zenith of manly anime.
Spoilers End Here.
Like wow, I didn't know how bad ass anime could be until I saw this. The characters are some of the best ever, the story is simple yet not dull ( at least simple in arc 1, arc 2 is very different) and the animation is beautiful.
The story follows the headstrong leader Kamina and the timid Simon's departure from their underground village, to the dangerous surface world, run by the cruel Beastmen in their Mecha suits. Busty red head Yoko joins the crew as their sniper and as such the trinity is formed!
Seeing humanity mistreated Kamina decides to defeat the Beastmen King and end the oppression over earth, armed with their own gunmen, the small Lagaan and the larger Gurren, both being able to brotherly combine to form the titular Gurren Lagaan. Fairly quickly they gain support and after many plot twists and hard fights humanity is a united force, with many more men inspired by Kamina taking up their own gunmen and joining in the good fight.
Simon the Digger
Initially rather cowardly, and you may find him a poor main character compared to Kamina, but he struggles through all the strife they face, and becomes one of the strongest characters in anime to this date
Kamina
The manliest man to be a man, he takes on mechs with a sword, and then takes those defeated mechs and builds a mech! Everything he says is basically a quote and he will be one of the best leaders for ages to come
