Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional universe where human beings have been forced underground and thrive in isolated subterannean civilizations. These "villages" have no contact with the surface world nor other villages. Since frequent earthquakes damage infrastructure, the villages must constantly expand deeper into the earth — individuals designated to this task are known as "diggers". Jiiha Village is the home of Simon, a fourteen year old digger who was orphaned when his parents were killed in an earthquake. He is respected by the village elder as the best of the diggers, but is ostracized by his peers. After discovering a special drill key deep in the ground, he is recruited by an eccentric fellow orphan named Kamina into his group, the "Gurren Brigade". Kamina dreams of the surface world, which he visted as a child with his father but had to return home because he was too weak to survive. After a failed attempt at reaching the surface, Kamina is jailed by the elder and Simon resumes digging, only to discover "a big face" deep in his tunnel. As he excitedly fetches Kamina to show him the discovery, he is caught by the village elder, but Kamina's punishment is interrupted by the ceiling of Jiiha Village collapsing as an enormous robot falls into the cavern. A foruteen year old girl named Yoko appears and tries to fight the robot with a large ray gun, but initially cannot do much. Simon takes Kamina and Yoko to the "big face" he found earlier and discovers that the small drill key can be used to activate the small robot which he uses to end up destroying the much larger robot and effectively break through to the surface. It is on the surface that Simon and Kamina discover that there are more large robots known as Ganmen piloted by "Beastmen" that terrorize the surface dwellers during the day. Simon and Kamina help Yoko and her village destroy three more Gunman and Kamina takes one for himself, naming it Gurren. Eventually, Simon and Kamina decide that they will go on a journey to end the constant struggle between Beastmen and human. Simon and Kamina are initially accompanied by Yoko and a mechanic from Yoko's village named Leeron as they head out to find the Beastmen's main village. Characters Simon (シモン, Shimon?) Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara Simon is a fourteen year old digger from Jiiha village. One day, he finds a mysterious drill-shaped item, which is later revealed to be the key for a head-shaped robot he dug up some time earlier. With the help of the robot, Kamina, and Yoko, he fights off a Ganmen who broke into the village. While finishing the Ganmen off with a drill-like attack, they reach the surface world. Kamina (カミナ, Kamina?) Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi Kamina is a young man from Jiiha village who dreams of leaving the village and go to the surface, which he saw as a kid. He convinces Simon to help him with his plan to drill through the roof of the village and get to the world above, but the plan failed and he was put in prison. He left the village shortly thereafter with the help of Simon and a young girl named Yoko, as a result of fighting a Ganmen, who broke into the village from the surface. Kamina is apparently the son of a man seen in the first episode. At the end of the second episode, he discovers a partially buried skeleton which has a skull trinket and a cape which his father also possessed. Yoko (ヨーコ, Yōko?) Voiced by: Marina Inoue Yoko is girl from Jiiha's neighboring village Ritona, who had been chasing the Ganmen which entered Jiiha village. She wields an extensive range of firearms and has previous experience fighting Ganmen. Despite her mature appearance, she is the same age as Simon.[/quote] ~ [b]After neon genesis evangelion , this anime surely drill ya world[/b]!
