Aniplex USA has been bringing out a few of their shows to the Hulu service recently and another one that’s part of the new batch is the fan-favorite Gurren Lagann property. The show has seen a few releases over the years and been through a couple of different distributors and always draws in an audience. The full twenty-seven episode series is now available on Hulu for members in its original Japanese language with English subtitles.
Plot concept: This is the story of a man who has yet to realize what destiny holds in store for him…
In the distant future, mankind has lived quietly and restlessly underground for hundreds of years, subject to earthquakes and cave-ins. Living in one such village are two young men: Simon, who is shy and naive; and Kamina, who believes in the existence of a “surface” world above their heads. The destiny of these two starts moving drastically when the ceiling of their village falls in, and a gigantic “Gunmen” and a beautiful girl named Yoko, wielding a superconductive rifle, come from the surface. Together, Kamina, Simon, and Yoko ride the mecha “Lagann” that Simon digs out of the ground, and fly up to the surface!
