My older brother left home for college and I was legitimately so depressed I got left behind. I remember looking out of the living room window seeing him drive off in my parent’s car. Gurren Lagann was one of the first things I watched after that. And I’m sure you can tell what my reaction was when a certain event happens a quarter into the show. But what really saved me was everything that came out of that. I’m almost doubled the age I was when I first saw it and nothing has ever come close to affecting me that way. I will personally forever put it in the magnum opus of human creativity and art.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Neon Genesis Evangelion also (positively) changed my view on life and what makes it worth living.
Gurren Lagann is much more overt with the positive messaging.
Get in the goddamn robot!
