Inspirations and Derivative works[]

Counting the things that inspired Gurren Lagann is an impossible task. Barely an episode goes by without a shout-out to SOMETHING. The most prominent inspirations, however, are Mazinger Z, Gunbuster, Diebuster, and Getter Robo.

Reviews[]

Cloakedboltz[]

This is a clever parody of the mecha genre, getting over and over the top as you get closer to the end.

Neito[]

This show is proof that we can still have good things.

thephotoman[]

The show grows the beard really hard and really fast around the climax of episode 8. It just keeps getting progressively more awesome from there.
