I don't even know who Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is. I saw him for the first time from this mecha size comparison video:

Because that's how big it is. Gurren Lagann's entire ending is about going more and more ridiculous until they start throwing galaxies around for their attacks. And then going beyond that.

To be fair you need a really high IQ to understand most anime. To a normie it may appear stupid such as what happens to someone hearing about algebra with x = and they go "this is stupid when will I use this in real life?"

I recommend the whole series it's amazing. And to spoil why it's that big in the universe of the anime the sheer willpower of the protagonists is creating that mech, it's not something actually built, it's more of a spirit representing the protagonists will causing the impossible to become possible. It's exactly the fear of this ability that causes the entire story to begin with.

tfw I like the final fight with Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in the movies, but it's incompatible with my preference for the show's lead up to the final fight and how it has a higher body count besides just Kittan.

You really want me to be posting the final fight of the series in this thread?

Sure:

The part referenced in your video happens eight minutes in (specifically the transformation start).

Correct. Gurran Lagann is peak anime and is one of the mech shows that everyone can actually enjoy due to just how absurd it goes above everything else at every point. There is a reason that it took over the anime discourse for an entire year after it came out despite being a normal season in terms of scope.

TTGL's took the concept of "it doesn't have to make sense as long as it's cool" and intravenously fed it into every panel/frame of the show. It thrives on ridiculousness and that's why people enjoyed it.
