I'm expecting something more along the lines of Gurren Lagann: Do You Remember Love? |
That would make my damn day if it was GL:DYRL. |
Who knows, maybe it'll be The Gurren-Lagann Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure
On the other hand... consider the possible ramifications if we got 5 Gurren-Lagann per Second.
Minds would be blown. There would be no survivors. |

On the contrary, Lordgenome was a spiral knight prior to becoming the "guardian of humanity". If it's set in the past then it would take place during the original war with the anti-spirals (Hence, tried because they kinda lost...). Notice also that the beastman in the intro has an entirely different charater design than humanoid Boota. |

Look, it's not a bad idea, but you're just making it up. More reasons:
- The 'beastman' is wearing clothing, but it's clearly a 'boota thing'. I wouldn't say that it's Boota, but they say that's what ... whatever he is might evolve into over time.
- I'm pretty sure the Beastmen were created after the Spiral Knights lost, anyway, as a way of keeping the humans underground. Maybe by Lord Genome (or Lordgenome or Lorgenome or whatever his name is), maybe not- but they wouldn't have been part of the original fight with the anti-spirals. Beastmen have no spiral power because they were genetically engineered.
- Most importantly: the guy uses Kamina's catch-phrase, the "who the hell do you think I am?!" bit, and the name he came up with, Gurren Lagann.
Even the skull-with-sunglasses emblem on the flag and the guy's cape- even supposing Kamina didn't invent them, how could that have carried over from more than 1000 years earlier?
The real mystery, though is this: Why does Leeron never age? Is he a vampire? He's clearly older than Simon and Rossiu at the beginning... and he looks a little older than them after the timeskip... and in the final scene, he looks almost exactly the same. That's about 27 years, IIRC, putting Simon and Rossiu in their 40's. |

My Mind still going to therapy over what happened after watching End of Evangelion.
Granted, Gurren Laganns Mind<TOS> Episode was pure awesome. |
