TTGL Parallel Works 2 Sunday, July 13, 2008



Original Net Animation (ONA)

Theme: BafBaf! Sonna ni Moeru no ga... Suki Kai (Bafbaf! Do You Like Being That... Fired Up?)

Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Summary: Featuring viral and the pachinko machine! Content highly related to theme.
It's an ONA of the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's just like another video where the scenes are planned out according to the music if you don't know the original story but you'll get more of a laugh if you do. And speaking of which, Parallel Works 1 offers the characters in a parallel universe and a whole different storyline, featuring the theme "Rap is a Man's soul!", which you will enjoy better probably if you watched the anime. Rap is a Man's soul is the piece with "Row row fight da powah!" epic phrase by the way.

Anyway, Gurren Lagann is a very good anime regardless of whether you like mecha or not. It's been described as epic by many and a guaranteed entertainment for that whole 20 minutes every episode. It's still at the top of my favourite list, and I'm not exaggerating. It's a gar anime with good character development and good storyline. But the most important thing that makes the anime epic is the way the protagonist can somehow overcome their situation no matter how and what. (Think power ranger or pokemon, but infinitely better.)
