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.

One thing's pretty much guaranteed, though, Oronae: spoiler[It's not the past. For one, there's Humanoid Boota Thing. Also, IIRC, Genome says someone else tried like Simon, but obviously no one got that far before- they would have had to defeat him first, right?]


On the contrary, spoiler[ 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:

  • spoiler[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.]
  • spoiler[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.]
  • spoiler[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: spoiler[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.
