Summary: Simon lives a boring life in the underground village of Jeeha, where his main job day in and day out is to dig tunnels. His close friend Kamina, however, longs to bust out of their oppressive existence and reach the surface world where open skies and adventure await! One day, during his usual digs, Simon discovers a robot with a big face buried amongst the rocks. No sooner has he shown Kamina his mysterious find when two beings from the surface crash land into Jeeha Village - one is a gun-toting woman calling herself Yoko and the other is a terrifying mecha piloted by a Beastman! Seeing their chance to escape village drudgery, Kamina rallies Simon and Yoko to defeat the invader using their new robot, Lagann. However, upon breaking out onto the surface world, Simon, Kamina, and Yoko encounter enemies more powerful than they could have envisioned. Their fight for adventure just turned into a war for the survival of the human race - will their lust for freedom hold out against such terrible odds?
************************************************************
I hated Yoko. I hated her and it was like instant hate. I like some of the bad guys more than her.
This has to be my second or third Mecha anime I ever watched. I'm not a fan of Mecha. People or whoever fighting in giant robots or just giant robots fighting just isn't my cup of tea. I don't even like tea.
But it holds true to the shounen power ups. If a person needs to get stronger his hair will grow and maybe change colors. Or maybe he'll eat something absorbing some kind of power. Or in this case you keep adding parts to your main robot til the point its name is just about 3 miles long.
Notes as I was watching.......
"Episode 1 reaction: meh the dub isn't that bad. Has to be the same studio that did Kill la Kill. Smiliar artwork. Hippo made of grapes? Yoko couldn't be more transparent. Ep 3: This shit retarded! Yoko calling someone's clothes absurd. Really?
Starfire? I'm hearing Starfire from Teen Titans.
Episode 16 can be skipped, its just a recap of 1-15.
Time skip! 7years
That yawn tho!
They said the title in the show!
Yoko got more likable as she got older. I still don't like her tho."
At the end of the day it gives you all the stuff its says its going to . Good comedy, adventure, good story line, decent fights and an ending that gets ya.
I give it a 4 out of 5.
