Legacy #10 ~ Gurren Lagann ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Before I start off the 10th Legacy post, I would just like to say Happy Thanksgiving out there. Tis the season of being thankful  and grateful for what you have ~ spending time with family & friends is a gift and that's why it's called the present. Always remember that they make up your world and family is the best remedy for a bad day. Have a safe holiday out there and eat plenty. Already, without further ado, let us start off by talking about one of my favorite Anime(s) in 2011. It's pure coincidence actually that I chose this specific Anime for Thanksgiving day. As seen in the picture, the bond that the characters share is irreplaceable and the best part of it all ~ we see their growth together through both the good and bad times. Where to start on this Anime? Well here's the cliff-note version: Underground people surface and find a world where beasts control/pilot fighting robots. When discovered that the main character (Simon) finds a key to pilot a robot, he and his brother must defend their home & the people on the surface. There's also this time-skip which emphasizes human morality and philosophy. That sums it up in a cliff-note version. Mecha Animes are often interesting to watch because it combines two things we loved when we kids: Giant Robots & Fighting other Giant Robots. I mean wouldn't you pilot them if you had the power to? It's way better than driving in traffic ~ just fly over them and the sky's the limit. The main character are Simon, Kamina, & Yoko. Simon is the small-fry who develops into our main protagonist. Kamina is the speech-giver that unfortunately lost his life to early (SPOILER). Yoko is a hot-@SS big-BEEWBED redheaded sniper that befriends Simon & Kamina on their adventures. The series spawns 26 episodes, a couple of movies, and has probably the best catchphrase in all of the Anime(s) I've seen. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM? and "BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!" Those epic quotes pretty much sum up Gurren Lagann. I currently own the series and if you're a fan of Mecha anime + over-the-top badassery, then this is the Anime for you. IF not, then more power to you.

I hope you enjoyed this Legacy post. Look forward to Legacy posts on Thursdays. Until then, you all stay classy now. There'll be no Throwback post tomorrow, but MechG will be posting BCC 2 Matchup #3. WBCR will be up between Saturday-Sunday.
