Just wanted to share a message with you. I know I commented 5 years ago, but I'd like to explain why I keep coming back to watch this video (and why at least 100 of those views are from me alone lol). 10 years ago, I watched this AMV for the first time; I was in my Freshman year of university and going through a pretty bad breakup (if you could even call it that) at the time, and I needed some inspiration to keep on going. I had just started watching anime again, and my best friend had introduced me to Gurren Lagann for the first time. It was something special, something that really moved me and inspired me to start enjoying life and the bonds I had made. It became (and will always be) my favorite anime because it helped me to realize that I had to move on, and believe in the me that believed in myself. So when I found this AMV 10 years ago, I knew I struck gold. This AMV encapsulated everything that I felt the very first time I watched Gurren Lagann, and helped me to remember all the good times I had with my best friend. I made it a point to Favorite it so I could remember to watch it every now and again, to pick myself up when I was feeling down or to give myself a little bit of inspiration when I was running out of it. 10 years later, here I am, watching it again while I begin a new chapter of my life. I stumbled across it while cleaning out my favorites, and I'm happy to say that it will be staying there for the foreseeable future. So, I just wanted to swing by and let you know that you made something special that really helped me out during some of my darker moments.
thanks for sharing that with me Aren. That means a lot. I'm glad to hear that it was something that gave you the strength to push on~ Gurren Lagaan always reminds me to do the same and we always gotta keep on moving up and moving forward!! 💪🔥 SPIN ON!!!
"Grabbing the burning sun with my bare hand, it's really hot but i grin and bear it. A mans path is measured by pride. The great Kamina will punch your lights out"- Kamina this quote is full of epicness. Kamina is the most BADASS characters ever. the only one who measures up to L. just...EPIC.
When people try to tell you what you are, when people try to tell you that it's a lost cause, when it seems like the world is withering and closing around you and threatening to cover you in a shroud of darkness and hubris and arrogance just believe in those who believe in you and have faith in yourself and those of come before you who faced the same trials you find yourself facing today. And when all is said and done find it in yourself to SPIN ON!!
I don't know if it was only me, but when I finished watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, I changed, I started believing more in my self and my own potential and that gave me motivation to be a better person...no seriously it was really crazy but I can say I am a better person now!
freackin awesome every time i watch this is more awesome Even when trapped by karma's cycle, The dreams we left behind will open the door! Even if the Universe itself stands in our way, Our seething blood will determine what will be! We'll break through time and space! And devour all who would stop us to grab hold of our path! Tengen Toppa...Gurren Lagann! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!
It's been 11 years and this is still awesome! 2019 anyone here's hoping for a Gurren lagann continuation on screen I know the manga is still going on but I'm really hoping for an on-screen adaptation!
2:45 i love that part. The helmsman has such a small part but they sneek him in all the time and i love it. Specially loved when they snuck him in in the 2nd movie at the end inside Tengen Toppa Arc Gurren. XD
I really love gurren lagann and it's, how should I say, my favourit Anime ~(^.^~) (~^,^)~ The Music fits perfect and it's so good edited. I think nobody made it better than you, so big compliment to you and your work
this is single the most satisfying (since code geass) anime to watch..i mean from the growth of a protagonist to an ending.it doesn't leave you hangin' and begging for sequel that is never to come(like many other 'short' anime series out there)..and im of course talking about already completed series.pretty sure im not only one who is thinks along these lines..AWESOME SHOW!
I wasn't sure what kind of music I was expecting for a TTGL AMV, but now that I think about it, it couldn't have been anything other than power metal. My upvotes go out to you ser.
This is the second best Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann AMV I have ever seen. The first is a Mindless Self Indulgence AMV featuring Viral, and I only consider it better because it introduced me to the epicness of TTGL.
epic cool vid, didnt need tons of special effects, just a perfect gurren laggan song and great scene timing, well done, kamina would be proud of you, 10/10
oh of my favorite amv's to this day. thank you for making it and may kamina forever live on in our hearts...and our drills! because our drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
This was Epic. Keep on drilling even higher with your AMVs until they pierce th heavens and become the best AMV ever! (As it is, I think this is the fourth best.)
There are no words that I can use this say what I'm feeling right now. The amv was just so awesome and I now hail you has a God. Do the impossible see the invisible row row fight the power.Who the hell do you think I am.
I just finished watching Tengu Toppa Gurren Laagan entirely...and then found this amv....sir...I have no words...this was awesome...just as badass as the actual anime
@TBomb15 The entire theme of TTGL is about surpassing God and Breaking through the Heaven's themselves. Kamina represents God, and Simon is the one who surpasses him. Another interesting fact. Yoko translates to kiss of death. She was also Simon's age when she kissed Kamina, 14. Kamina himself was only 17.
Absolutely professional. Other than the minor fluctuations in the audio, the video itself was flawless. The video layering effects really allowed for emphasis and power. Each scene complemented the next perfectly and flowed well with the music. One of the greatest AMVs that I have ever seen. If you don't already do this professionally then I suggest that you highly consider it cause you are brilliant at it. Ocourse im also an average joe of no prestige, so take my praise with a grain of salt.
Holy crap. When I saw the first part with subtitles, I thought it was going to be an average video. Instead this turned out really great! And I agree with MBasemicheal, the speeding up part just felt very... well different. I could have seen like a scene of the Anti-Sprial and GL doing the whole clashing swords and spear things in that segment some where, and the last bit of it was good when it showed all the uh... anti-spiral dudes dying. >3>;; Along with flashes of the allies deaths too.
...Wow. That was quite possibly the BEST AMV I'VE EVER SEEN, and I've seen a LOT of them: dime a dozen. If this one gets better, tell me. I'm hooked. :)
Seems awesome good music, good footage, put together really well. Only thing I could possibly suggest would some epic clips of the classic "arms-raised, Kamina/Simon yelling motivationally with wind billowing around them" type-things.
Thank you! I've just started watching Gurren Lagann and to me the beginning is pretty boring so I looked up a AMV to basically see if this gets better further down the line, and after watching this I have now set my goal as finishing up Gurren Lagann. Thanks again even though I kinda ruined some parts for myself.
From the very moment I saw Kamina's statue in the city, I've been feeling something strong in front of every single statue of personality for some reason...
wait, THAT'S unfinished!?!?!?! Holy CRAP, if the unfinished version is THAT amazing, I'm afraid to see the finished version.... I think my head will explode from overload of awesome
This is the greatest Gurren Lagann music video I have seen so far. The music is perfect for this anime and it really captures that fighting spirit. You mentioned you may remake this? Just in HD would be perfect as is.
I loved Kamina and was so frustrated when he died even stoped waching the show.... for a while. But the whole thing was about simon. And his character progress was what I liked the most in TTGL. In the end he was even more badass than Kamina, though it's hardly possible. ^^ Simon is the reason this Anime was epicness and I liked how you put the focus on him. 5*
@ElectrikeDeathStrike Kamina's death is the most important event in the series. It's the catalyst for basically everything that happens in the rest of the series.
@5nowfire alternate universe. some speculate that it was a universe where simon overuses spiral power and is just about to wipe out all of existence. but mainly it was to show how cool gurren lagann was.
this amv was a masterpiece I really loved the show it inspired me to never give ue up and to balieve in my self and that is also what this song does it maches the theme and message of the show
It really speaks volumes about this show that Kamina's death scarred people into not wanting to see any more (it was heartbreaking, like losing a friend and inspiration) and then finding out that he wasn't even the coolest part of the show. Kamina was a regular guy who talked big to give others courage, and Simon was the opposite: a soft spoken, timid guy who BEAT GOD TO DEATH USING NOTHING BUT MANLINESS. Spoiler alert: Don't read the preceding paragraph, it gives away the end of the show
@ComboFtvv while the ending was sad, he seperated himself for a good reason, he really isn't a leader during times of peace. He is a warrior and warriors never make good leaders, they just blaze the trail, or in his case, dig the tunnel, for others to follow.
@ComboFtvv It may have been sad but the show for the most part was all about breaking through expectations and being better than what people thought you could be, proving that no matter what happens you can always keep going, I think what they were mostly trying to do with the series was telling you to never give up because in the end they didn't and things worked out for them. Just my opinion though.
It's incredible how I agree. This epicness, this courage, I felt it from the deepest place of my heart. Nothing is impossible, and if it is, then just make possible. Simple as that. Whenever I feel down, I think of Simon. Gurren Lagann is my religion. TTGL > All
Really liked this take. Knew the song from a different AMV (featuring One Piece, quite appropiate eh?) and compared both videos as well as I compared this to other GL AMV. This fares well up in my top 10 AMV list now. The pacing is brilliant. The music and video are aligned to perfection. You accended up the whole breadth of the anime very very good, showing everything of importance and reminding viewers of the awesome moments. HD please! My only problem is the lipsyncing. Seemed out of place.
DONT CARE YOU CALLED IT, MUSIC IS CALLED SAIL ON FROM GROUP MASTERPLAN, WORDS ARE SAIL ON, AND YOU STOLE MUSIC FROM 10 YEARS OLD ONE PIECE AMW ALSO NAMED SAIL ON!!! YOU CANNOT CALL IT WRONG JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW TO READ! IM EMBARRASS OF YOURE STUPIDITY!

Where’s the lie?

Gurren Lagaan is forever Goated!!
14 years in the future and this AMV has aged like fine wine. Love coming back to this.
It's been just about 5 years, and I still watch this AMV...Good job to say the least! This video embodies the manly spirit of Team Gurren!!!!

"I wanted to just create something really emotionally pounding from gurren"
Mission accomplished. Amazing amv!
Many years later, and this amv never fails to give me chills and goosebumps. Phenomenal still
Man, no show ever before has been so awesome that it moved me to both cheers and tears.
freackin awesome every time i watch this is more awesome
Even when trapped by karma's cycle,
The dreams we left behind will open the door!
Even if the Universe itself stands in our way,
Our seething blood will determine what will be!
We'll break through time and space!
And devour all who would stop us to grab hold of our path!
Tengen Toppa...Gurren Lagann!
JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!
It's been 11 years and this is still awesome! 2019 anyone here's hoping for a Gurren lagann continuation on screen I know the manga is still going on but I'm really hoping for an on-screen adaptation!
Bruh how time flies.. Fuuuuuuuuuuu.. This is so good. Been watching this AMV for so many years. You did good!
2:45 i love that part. The helmsman has such a small part but they sneek him in all the time and i love it. Specially loved when they snuck him in in the 2nd movie at the end inside Tengen Toppa Arc Gurren. XD
This is the best AMV I have ever seen. Captures the feeling of the show, and fucking goes ballistic. Love it. 10/10 have watched MANY times.
Wow just thought about this this morning. So happy to see its still up. Thanks for making this!
I really love gurren lagann and it's, how should I say, my favourit Anime ~(^.^~) (~^,^)~ The Music fits perfect and it's so good edited. I think nobody made it better than you, so big compliment to you and your work
Man I was in middle school when I first watched this AMV
I'm in college now and it still holds up! Congrats on making such a good AMV!
Thank you!!! I'm glad that it still holds up!~
14 years and I'm still back here for that dose of heaven-piercing excellence
This amv gets me choked up everytime... only anime ive yet to see that blends everything that makes them great into one.
still watchin this beast of a AMV in 2012! actually rewatched the anime again last week!
this is single the most satisfying (since code geass) anime to watch..i mean from the growth of a protagonist to an ending.it doesn't leave you hangin' and begging for sequel that is never to come(like many other 'short' anime series out there)..and im of course talking about already completed series.pretty sure im not only one who is thinks along these lines..AWESOME SHOW!
one of the best music and video correlation ive seen in a very long while ...... GOOD JOB!!!
I wasn't sure what kind of music I was expecting for a TTGL AMV, but now that I think about it, it couldn't have been anything other than power metal. My upvotes go out to you ser.
i'm glad this show was as short as it was. i think if it was any longer it would have wrecked a good thing. loved this show
This is the second best Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann AMV I have ever seen.
The first is a Mindless Self Indulgence AMV featuring Viral, and I only consider it better because it introduced me to the epicness of TTGL.
Just finished watching this anime again... forgot how Exciting it was!
Great AMV ... I think this is the best Gurren Lagann AMV on youtube!
BEST AMV IVE SEEN u made it look like the makers of the anime made it themselves! thats the best kind!
That was masterfully done. Your matching scenes with lyrics was exceptional.
When the last episode finished i had to cry....
Your amv is AWSOME!!!!!!!! Godamn
This is without a doubt, the best AMV I have ever seen.
You managed to make the most epic anime of all time to look even more epic with this. You win, sir.
epic cool vid, didnt need tons of special effects, just a perfect gurren laggan song and great scene timing, well done, kamina would be proud of you, 10/10
OMG this was so awesome, it literally gave me goosebumps!
oh of my favorite amv's to this day. thank you for making it and may kamina forever live on in our hearts...and our drills! because our drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
"Anime- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Song- Sail on by Master Plan"
Can be seen in the description of the video ;)
Amazing. Simply amazing. This may very well be the best amv I have ever seen.
Great AMV dude. The transitions were awesome and the song went well with the footage.
Good job!
one of the best anime ever made and one of my favorites
This was Epic.
Keep on drilling even higher with your AMVs until they pierce th heavens and become the best AMV ever!
(As it is, I think this is the fourth best.)
This is as close to TTGL epicness as it can. Nothing can match it really. Great AMV.
Awsome AMV man!!! You are amazing at this, and I really hope to see more of your work!
There are no words that I can use this say what I'm feeling right now. The amv was just so awesome and I now hail you has a God. Do the impossible see the invisible row row fight the power.Who the hell do you think I am.
This is one of the best AMVs I have ever seen. Truly awesome
I just finished watching Tengu Toppa Gurren Laagan entirely...and then found this amv....sir...I have no words...this was awesome...just as badass as the actual anime
A most excellent video. Very few evern manage to do a good Gurren Lagann AMV.... This made me cry tears of manliness at it's epic awesomeness.
faved.

Jorn lande + Gurren Lagann = Ultimate Epicness.

glad to see someone actually put some work into an AMV
Yeah! is so fuckin good...
Id leave it as it is, ive favorited it and i dotn do that for alot of AMV's so well done you're in quite an exclusive little club
Holy crap. When I saw the first part with subtitles, I thought it was going to be an average video.

The singular best AMV i have ever seen.
Completely epic, badass and amazing. Great job.
*Sees Simon finding the Core*
Calipso: "A touch...of Destiny!"
Me: "And boy did he meet it!"
That fitted the series so well it was almost scary :O
2 thumbs high, high into the heavens for this amazing masterpiece :D
Seems awesome good music, good footage, put together really well.
Only thing I could possibly suggest would some epic clips of the classic "arms-raised, Kamina/Simon yelling motivationally with wind billowing around them" type-things.
most epic amv i have ever seen. very nice job.
Thank you! I've just started watching Gurren Lagann and to me the beginning is pretty boring so I looked up a AMV to basically see if this gets better further down the line, and after watching this I have now set my goal as finishing up Gurren Lagann.

One heck of a great video, man!!!!
FINISHING MOVE!
wait, THAT'S unfinished!?!?!?! Holy CRAP, if the unfinished version is THAT amazing, I'm afraid to see the finished version.... I think my head will explode from overload of awesome
Absolutely beautiful you have carried the feel perfectly.
They should totally continue this series with the adult Simon.
The ending, even though it ending perfectly, still had room for more.
This amv is the amv that will pierce the heavens!!!!!!
Man I keep forgetting how much power metal fits SO WELL with Gurren Lagann.
This is the greatest Gurren Lagann music video I have seen so far. The music is perfect for this anime and it really captures that fighting spirit. You mentioned you may remake this? Just in HD would be perfect as is.
Best AMV ever.
Period.
I loved Kamina and was so frustrated when he died even stoped waching the show.... for a while. But the whole thing was about simon. And his character progress was what I liked the most in TTGL.

Omg, I've never been into Mecha anime, but this video mad me change my mind.
Best Gurren Lagann muisc AMV I have seen =D
bravo, not much amvs do this anime justice but u did it
amazing you wanted emotional you got it in my opinion. it sent shivers down my spine very good job
the most epic amv made on my bday
fitting
Hella yeah! The movie in dub was great. Even more excited for “Lights in the sky are stars” dub.
that was awesome, perfectly matched 5/5
PURE ESSENCE OF BURNING THUNDEROUS EPICNESS OF GURREN LAGANN
my brother showed this to me, and it was so awesome i HAD to add it :3
awesome work! :D
@ElectrikeDeathStrike Kamina's death is the most important event in the series. It's the catalyst for basically everything that happens in the rest of the series.
@5nowfire alternate universe. some speculate that it was a universe where simon overuses spiral power and is just about to wipe out all of existence.
but mainly it was to show how cool gurren lagann was.
man this is an awesome amv man!!!!
AMIGO SIN DUDA ALGUNA UNOS DE LOS MEJORES AMV QUE EH VISTO
this was magnificient ;~; made me get up and point up to the sky with manly tears
this amv was a masterpiece I really loved the show it inspired me to never give ue up and to balieve in my self and that is also what this song does it maches the theme and message of the show
Baddassery. pure and simple.
There aré no word to describe the epicness Of this it felt like My very soul was just moved by it
@maguma little known fact, before kamina died the show was called "kamina-lessons in manliness"
I'm also addicted to this video, very good.
excellent song choice.. it really does the anime justice :)
It really speaks volumes about this show that Kamina's death scarred people into not wanting to see any more (it was heartbreaking, like losing a friend and inspiration) and then finding out that he wasn't even the coolest part of the show. Kamina was a regular guy who talked big to give others courage, and Simon was the opposite: a soft spoken, timid guy who BEAT GOD TO DEATH USING NOTHING BUT MANLINESS.
Spoiler alert: Don't read the preceding paragraph, it gives away the end of the show

Gurren Lagann is my religion.
TTGL > All
I fucking love this anime and this song. The music matches the video so damn well. Can't stop watching it, man.
2018. This AMV and This Anime is still SO AWESOME
The song is "Sail On" by Masterplan
Really liked this take.
Knew the song from a different AMV (featuring One Piece, quite appropiate eh?) and compared both videos as well as I compared this to other GL AMV. This fares well up in my top 10 AMV list now.
The pacing is brilliant. The music and video are aligned to perfection. You accended up the whole breadth of the anime very very good, showing everything of importance and reminding viewers of the awesome moments.
HD please!
My only problem is the lipsyncing. Seemed out of place.
Its "sail on", from group masterplan, and this music is already used in AMW for One Piece - Sail on.
The AMV is called Spin On
DONT CARE YOU CALLED IT, MUSIC IS CALLED SAIL ON FROM GROUP MASTERPLAN, WORDS ARE SAIL ON, AND YOU STOLE MUSIC FROM 10 YEARS OLD ONE PIECE AMW ALSO NAMED SAIL ON!!! YOU CANNOT CALL IT WRONG JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW TO READ! IM EMBARRASS OF YOURE STUPIDITY!
th-cam.com/video/bhTBYn1vJTA/w-d-xo.html
And here is 11 old amw for ONE PIECE - SAIL ON!!!
th-cam.com/video/j-n23nZBl-c/w-d-xo.html
I know about the One Piece AMV. It inspired me to become an AMV editor. I loved that AMV and I love this song. So I made my own AMV.
