I was going to post this tomorrow, but I figured you bronies outside the US might want some entertainment tonight/today/this morning/this evening.
Way back in April of last year, a Pony Laggan crossover was released. Sadly it was horrible quality. I know the majority of you joined in the summer, so maybe you will appreciate this revamped high resolution one!
I honestly haven't even seen the actual anime, this is so ridiculous it works without any context at all though!
Check it out after the break.

If you by tonight mean middle of the day, ok :3
ReplyDelete11am in fact ^_^
ReplyDeleteyay \o/
ReplyDeleteSomehow this is something I can Twilight being able to do.
ReplyDeleteSo /)^3^(\ awesome
Died from sheer epicness
ReplyDeleteI personally stay as far from anime as possible but... let's give it a try a little later today.
ReplyDeleteAlright guys, dafuq did I just watch? Twilight totally belongs in anime, she's like goku with her god damned miracle power right when u need it.
ReplyDeleteBest crossover ever.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe in yourself Twilight! Believe in the Celestia who believes in you!
ReplyDeleteI had started to forget how amazing Gurren Lagann was after being overwhelmed with all of the other shows I'm currently watching. This helped me remember that. Still get chills every time.
ReplyDeleteHoly Celestia, I remember seeing the first one.
ReplyDeleteI would say more, but fatigue and the sheer epicness of what I have just witnessed have turned my brain off.
Therefore, I'm off to bed.
Crazy!Twilight:Trust in us ponies.
ReplyDeleteReal reassuring!
Mother of God.....
ReplyDeleteepic
DAMMIT! I need to fall asleep right now to get slightly under 3 hours of sleep for a hellish day tomorrow. Now I'm all pumped up and will never get to sleep!
ReplyDeleteLolz I luv it!
ReplyDeleteHERS IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
ReplyDeleteJust who the hell do you think she is, anyway? <3
Seth, you must see it! It will change your life!
ReplyDeleteAW HELL YEAH!!! BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU, MY FELLOW BRONIES!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I stayed up for this. But yes, Seth, you MUST watch this anime. Although, this PMV looks like it took scenes from the movie (which has extra scenes, but the whole story is compressed down into 4 hours). If you have 4 hours of time to watch it, do so. And watch it on a large screen if possible.
ReplyDeleteWait, that ending is different from what I saw. Wellp, time to rewatch the best anime ever made! :D
ReplyDeleteHollly craaap. 2 of the greatest things put TOGETHER? *explodes*
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm pretty sure the animations are from the TTGL movie rather than the anime series. However I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteHERS IS THE HORN THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!
ReplyDeleteAfter I watched this, boy, am I glad that ponies didn't come from Japan.
ReplyDeleteShonen anime is cool then you're 15, but it just looks dull and laughable once you get over OMG POWAAH syndrome.
wait, i've heard that music in guren lagann, but haven't i heard it in Blood+ as well?

ReplyDeleteI would highly recommend it Seth, it is one of the best anime's out there
ReplyDeletestraight-up 5 stars. why does this crossover work so damn well?
ReplyDelete@IkkouSoryu
ReplyDeleteYou know...lumping TTGL with the likes of average shounen either takes lack of knowledge of the series, or just hefty amounts of dumb.
Oh wow. That was hilarious. I'm glad you posted that.
ReplyDelete@Zay-el
ReplyDeleteor a death wish. kamina will burst through dimensions and ignore [spoiler] to make sure you know just how awesome he and his team are!
@Zay-el
ReplyDeleteORLY?
Now, TTGL is one of the better shonen series out there with very high production values, but face it, there's nothing in it besides ZOMG HUGE ROBOTS WITH DRILLS. And some talk about courage, guts, blah-blah-blah which you hear in every single one of'em.
There are shounen shows that have some other focus than cosmic-level power, like Hokuto no Ken.
I came.
ReplyDeleteI need to find that anime.
ReplyDelete@IkkouSoryu
ReplyDeletei simply mean that kamina's (and eventually simon's) levels of ham and garr eventually go beyond ludicrous, as seen in this video with a mecha made of SPIRAL ENERGY that is is best measured in LIGHTYEARS.
YES! You should watch the anime though. It is so ridicous that it's serious again
ReplyDeleteAh man, I've forgotten how much I love TTGL.
ReplyDeleteSense? This makes none! Still, the last little bit was awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteI've honestly never seen this anime either. So I guess I'm neutral on this.
ReplyDelete@IkkouSoryu
ReplyDeleteWatch out, we've just crossed over into the No Fun Zone.
It's great that the series started straight with cosmic-level powers right? Oh wait...hmm...actually, I remember it being a straight upwards escalation from underground, to fighting for survival, taking back the world, armies and EVENTUALLY space. To me, this seems like a straight progression, rather that BOOMCOSMIC right from the start. And yes, courage usually comes up in just about every shonen, but rarely to such an over-the-top level. TTGL is designed to be pure damn fun for which you jump on the ride, enjoy the spectacle and cheer as the protagonists manage through every obstacle, because goddammit, sometimes people want to feel triumphant and happy inside.
And it's not Hokuto no Ken. So what?
@IkkouSoryuThere's the small fact that TTGL isn't technically a shonen anime at all.
ReplyDeleteThe Super Tengen Toppa is something like ten thousand lightyears tall, and its final Giga Drill is the size of a universe.
ReplyDeleteWOOO, TTGL+PONIES, MY OTP. SUBBED ALL THE WAY, KEEP THAT ENGLISH DUB OUTTA HERE.
Everyone Should Watch Gurren Lagann, It's Amazing!
ReplyDeleteCelestia as Lord Genome is quite possibly the best thing ever. Hotblooded Twilight is cute, but for sheer hammy-ness Rarity might be the better choice.
ReplyDeleteIt is curious how well TTGL still holds up today. I had kinda forgotten about the show outside of "DRILLS AND HOTBLOODED SPEECHES", but I guess I'll rewatch it on of these days.
You know that I think about it Fluttershy is a lot like Nia, and making Twilight Simon was interesting because they do have in common for sure
ReplyDeleteSorry guys, but this is one thing that ponies CANNOT make better.
ReplyDeleteGurren Lagaan is one of THE best animations I've seen. EVER.
Why must it load so slowly?! It's Gurren Lagann so I know it's going to be made of pure condensed Awesome and I want to watch it!
ReplyDeleteNote to self; Add Gurren Lagann next to FMA:Brotherhood on list of Awesome animes to rewatch.
Awesomeness confirmed, however this requires a further...
ReplyDeleteNote to self: Subbed version appears to have a different ending from the Dubbed, consider watching the Subbed version when rewatching series to see if there are other differences.
@AduroNope, the difference is that the clips are taken from TTGL Lagann-hen, which is the second half of the series condensed into movie form and given an even more epic ending than the original series.
ReplyDeleteNow someone needs to do it the opposite way. With ponies dubbed over that last scene.
ReplyDeleteThat was...cosmic.
ReplyDelete@Turdbomb
ReplyDeleteAh, useful information, thanks.
@Zay-el
ReplyDeleteWhatever. You liked TTGL and I didn't.
And God forbid, I made "technically not shonen" mistake! I couldn't care less about which demographic the show is aimed at, really.
@Turdbomb
ReplyDelete>There's the small fact that TTGL isn't technically a shonen anime at all.
Yeah, except it is according to aniDB
Disregard my "mistake" addendum.
TTGL is the epitome of shounen. Is certantly the best shounen Anime out there solely because it focuses on exploring Will Power. If ZOMG GIANT ROBOTS is all you can see, then you are not able to see what the series is really about.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME ANOTHER PONY ANIMED VERSION!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most amazing pony anime yet
when twi got kaminas glasses i just lost all my shit!!
ReplyDelete@Aduro
ReplyDeleteYea for this parody they used the second movie which expanded the final fight against the Anti-Spirals and in the movie everyone (even Nia) gets their own Super Robot and they actually managed to make the final anime fight MORE over-the-top
Note to self; Move watching the Gurren Lagann movies to the TOP of the rewatch list.
ReplyDeleteWait, if Fluttershy is Nia then that means... oh no.
ReplyDeleteI guess I am in the minority here. While I didn't think that Lagann was the greatest anime ever made. Honestly.. characters who think that they can become invicible through sheer machismo and guts annoy me. The charcter I had the gretaest sympathy for was Rossiu, particularly in the second half of the series. Rossiu is trying to be the leader responsible for the city which represented the last enclave of humanity while Simon just louged around going, "I'm too awesome and manly to be bothered with this managerial ####". Rossiu always tried to make the best decisions possible even though fate kept throwing one horrible choice after another at him. Yet he was portrayed as being in the "wrong." Why? Because it never occured to him that the proper course of action was to manfully swagger forth and headbutt planet-killing superweapons the size of the moon to death?
ReplyDeleteso much win!
ReplyDeleteSeries One > Gurren hen
ReplyDeleteLagann hen > Series Two
Simply watch the first series of episodes, then, when done, watch the second movie.
{Fun Levels Have Exceeded the Max!}
ReplyDeleteFor a minute there... it was real!
ReplyDeleteuntill I rembered what was going on.
-a new commenter joined the team-
That was officially the greatest thing I have ever seen. o_O
ReplyDeleteI APPROVE OF THIS.
ReplyDeleteThe power of friendship is stronger than a galaxy. You've seen it here first!
ReplyDeleteNice of you to think about us non-US bronies, Seth. ^^
ReplyDeleteI actually remember the old Pony-Lagann video. But I've only just recently seen footage from Gurren Lagann itself, so I might understand this one.
ReplyDeleteI just finished rewatching the series yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIf Celestia is Lordgenome, then who is Kamina?
THAT ANIME IS BUCKING SICK!!!!!!!!!!! i have the dvd boxset, a wall scroll, a yoko poster, the drill necklace, and the first volume of the manga. im a fan. lol
ReplyDeleteYou know... I liked Gurren Laggan. I will watch this vid when my computer finished the video encode it's running. It's old and slow, and this would just play choppy if I tried top watch it now.
ReplyDeleteThat said though...
You know what video I'd love to see redone with the newer watermark free, 720p HD source videos???
PONIES: Anthology
Yes... That one... That video is legendary, but it's such a massive collaboration, that I'm not sure if such a glorious thing will ever be done? So many different contributors worked on that! Don't believe in yourself contributors! Believe in the bronies who believe in you!
THEIRS IS THE VIDEO THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!
My God!!! That was... EPIC!!!!
ReplyDelete<3 Gurren Lagann!
my god the epic-ness has been dubbled
ReplyDeleteThat was AWESOME!!! I really need to watch Gurren Lagaan again, I love that anime!
ReplyDeleteTTGL!! Sooo EPIC!
ReplyDeletemy life is now complete...
ReplyDeleteI can die happy...
thank you
Ha! excellent
ReplyDeleteI've never watched Gurren Laggan and didn't really intended to but this seems pretty awesome and I don't think it's just the pony. I know Kamina is kind of a bamf, I may look into this series.
ReplyDeleteoh...my...GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThat... was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBest crossover? Best crossover.
ReplyDeleteOk this is the best Pony video ever.
ReplyDeleteTTGL is quite possibly the best show ever and this is just wow.
Wow. Now I have to watch TTGL once again. AND Seth you should do that too.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to grab my core drill necklace and wear it.
ReplyDeleteWell my life is now complete, I can now die happy.
ReplyDeleteTTGL was fucking EPIC, but now that I saw this too.... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!! O__________________O
ReplyDeletewow... anyone know of anything that could compete with that?
ReplyDelete@ChaosMedler
ReplyDeleteNothing can.
THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING EVER!
ReplyDeleteKamina Sparkle is best pony.
ReplyDeleteThis was so awesome, funny, and beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you've won.
FUCK.YES.
ReplyDeleteI cant stand it. This is too awesome. I'll be in the bathroom, crying.
ReplyDeleteGurren Lagann is my all time favorite anime, and seeing a crossover with my favorite american cartoon is simply amazing. I actually remember watching the original a while back so its great seeing it in higher quality. I highly recommend this anime to anyone who has not yet seen it. Epic cannot even begin to describe it.

ReplyDeleteEquestria Daily needs a pony lagann banner, stat!
ReplyDelete*Fangasm*
ReplyDeleteI want to see a fanfic! NOW!
I started watching TTGL a few days ago. This vid hit me like a sock with a brick in it. my only fear now is that ponies did it better xD
ReplyDeleteBy the way, anyone who thinks TTGL is amazing should look into Gunbuster and Diebuster (in that order; Diebuster is a sequel.) Gurren-Lagann is basically a love letter to those series; the Simon-Kamina relationship and the cross-armed pose are straight out of Gunbuster/Diebuster, just with two guys instead of two girls. They're also only 6 episodes each so it doesn't take long to go through them.
ReplyDeleteEither Japan has a really short supply of voice actors or I'm incredibly racist cause I think every Japanese person sounds the same. Not relative to each other in their respective shows, but every single character in this sounds like another character from Bleach. I'm going to go with the latter but the video is great regardless.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see even though its damn near impossible, someone animate the last 7 mins of the climax of Lagann-Hen which is where this scene is from but replace all the Tengen Toppa charcters with My Little Pony Friendship is mMagic characters.
ReplyDeleteScootaloo would be Simon, Rainbow Dash Kamina, Applejack Kittan, Twilight Yoko, Discord/Nightmare (and by that I mean a fusion of both) Moon Anti Spiral, Luna Nia, Celestia Lordgenome, the mechs in pony form, Gilda Viral and so on and so forth. Dammit..why can't I animate I know just who to replace with what MLP characters!
@Pinkie Pie
ReplyDeleteYou know, thinking about it I'd say Nightmare Moon/Luna would make a lot more sense as Lordgenome, with Discord as the Anti-Spiral.
Wakamotolestia.
ReplyDeleteNope, not a clue.
ReplyDeleteI assume this would make sense in context?
Never got into Anime.
The most epically ridiculous thing ever!
ReplyDeletethis was so terribly ridiculous I nearly vomited from my laughter...
ReplyDeleteespecially with the Kamina Glasses bit...
I have no idea what is happening at all in this.
ReplyDeleteTengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan is one of those modern works of art that everyone really should see. Much like reading Childhood's End, or listening to Frank Sinatra. It presents difficult philosophical concepts to keep your mind occupied with plenty of action to keep your eyes occupied, similar to The Matrix or Inception. One should at least watch the movies if they don't have time for the whole series.
ReplyDeleteViral Dash is best Beastpony
ReplyDelete@ambion THe version with super tengen toppa gurren lagann is from the second movie, tha canon version doesnt imply as many things as the remake/summary that were the movies.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats the full lenght anime.
