Gurren Lagann
Gurren Lagann streams on Crunchyroll and Hulu, and it's the ultimate anime about believing in yourself past the point of reason. Two boys dig their way out of a buried underground village into a hostile surface world, pilot a scrappy little mecha, and proceed to punch their way toward the stars alongside a ragtag crew. It starts as a rowdy underdog romp and escalates, relentlessly, into something staggeringly epic. Pure adrenaline and heart, and one of the most rousing rides anime has to offer.
About
Humanity has spent generations buried underground, in isolated villages that have never once seen the sky. Simon is a timid boy who spends his days digging tunnels, until he unearths a strange glowing artifact and, alongside his brash, sunglasses-wearing hero of a friend Kamina, uses it to break through to the surface for the first time. What waits above is not the freedom they imagined but a brutal world where humans are hunted by machine-piloting Beastmen. Armed with a small, stubborn robot and Kamina's boundless conviction, Simon is pulled into a fight that will carry him far higher than any tunnel ever could.
