Synopsis

Humans have enjoyed their lavish, peaceful, and prosperous lives for seven years since the day the almighty Spiral King was defeated—the day they reclaimed their homeland, Earth. However, the boon of this lifestyle leaves them unprepared when an unknown, hostile threat arises due to the ever-growing human population. This calamity is the Anti-Spiral—a fearsome enemy with unparalleled power.

As the Spiral King's prognosis postulating the destruction of "The Spiral's World" begins to come true, the pieces are in place, and Team Dai-Gurren is ready. With his late brother's hope to see a better future for mankind, Simon—along with Nia Teppelin and the rest of the team—is determined to overthrow the mighty Anti-Spiral in order to revive humanity's lost hope.

The Lights in the Sky are Stars was an unforgettable theater experience that will stay with me forever. Unlike the first movie, this almost has its very own story in comparison to the show. Much is changed due to time constraints and narrative focus. In some regards, it does things worse than the show in terms of side characters like Rossiu. The other thing I didn't like as much was the decision to not kill off almost any character in this portion of the show. Without diving into spoilers, the absolute despair felt in the show is hindered a bit due to the less life ...

This is a really good movie. I was really (pleasantly) surprised by the direction that the movie took from the first. As with the first movie, the animation quality and soundtrack were top notch. Some aspects of the movie were a little bit confusing compared to the first, but it is still easy enough to follow without ever having watched an episode of the anime. My only gripe with this movie is that it is clearly trying to be more philosophical than is maybe helpful. To me, the key of Gurren Lagann is how cool it looks, and I prefer it a lot to the ...

Mixed Feelings
Lagann-hen is an exhilarating production with a setting of monumental proportions, though not without its flaws, which - in some cases - are unfortunately more apparent than in the first installment.

The movie picks up right where Gurren-hen left off, though the opening sequences have been hugely condensed in order to quickly drive the plot into the second arc of the story. The setting expands in Lagann-hen, we travel from Earths surface into interstellar territory, in line with the TV show, although small sections of the story have diverged from the series, some understandably and others disappointingly. Certain new ideas seem extremely rushed, dragging what was ...
