Yes, the soundtrack for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is fantastically awesome.

However, I don’t care what Gainax says, the lyric is NOT “raw, raw, fight the power.” It’s “ro, ro.” The former doesn’t make sense and sounds retarded. The latter isn’t SUPPOSED to make sense and sounds kinda cool. The end. ♥

Also, while I’m looking back on TTGL…it’s Gainax, so I’m allowed to look at a ‘deeper’ meaning, right? ‘Cause honestly, the more I think back on it, the more I dig on the overall theme, which I take to be: if you put your mind, heart, and soul into it, you can do anything. It may require sacrifices, but anything is possible.

I like optimistic messages. Especially when everything these days feels so IMpossible: world peace, or even an uneasy world cease-fire…protecting the environment while still maintaining an economy at the rate we’re used to…etc.

At risk of sounding like a cheesy after-school special, let’s all work a bit on doing the impossible and seeing the invisible (ro, ro, fight the powa), shall we? Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable, all that jazz, yes?
