Gurren Lagann The Movie: Childhood's End

Gurren Lagann The Movie: Childhood's End (2008) is a feature-length anime from Studio Gainax you can watch online on iFILM. Director Hiroyuki Imaishi recompiles the first half of the cult mecha series into one giant push from underground toward the sky.

Simon is a timid boy who digs tunnels for a buried village that has no idea a surface even exists. His hot-blooded mentor Kamina wants out. When Simon unearths a tiny fighting robot and an odd drill-shaped key, beastmen smash through the ceiling on towering war machines, and the two friends are forced into a fight that ends with their first look at open sky.

The film reworks the opening fifteen episodes of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and adds fresh scenes and dialogue. Imaishi keeps the throttle pinned: drills spiral, mechs swell to galactic scale, and the sheer bravado is the whole point. Great for viewers who want anime that fully commits to its own madness.
