# Where to Watch 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.**

## Synopsis

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.
