Well....I remember something...
A feeling that I haven't felt in a long time.
There's an OST called Ten wo Tsuke from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
I have it on my MP3 and I haven't listened to it in a really really long time until today.
And just by listening to that song, I remembered the reason why I absolutely LOVE Gurren Lagann.
But the thought...the memory that stood out the most was my feelings...
The way I felt when listening to Ten wo Tsuke.
When I'm listening to it, I'm overwhelmed with feelings...
I feel happy, excited, invulnerable
But most of all, I feel Invincible.
Whenever I listen to it, I feel like I can do anything...achieve anything.
Before, I would have such thoughts like 'I can't do it' and 'No one can do it' and the word 'Impossible' echoed around in my mind.
But ever since I watched Gurren Lagann and listened to the ost, all those thoughts and feelings get washed away.
Sure the anime is like…totally bad a** with a lot of a** kicking moments…
But the anime also taught great lessons…
In the anime, those humans faced a threat that was greater than any man.
Those humans defeated those giant mechas with guns.
No matter how much they got cornered…no matter how much everything seemed so hopeless for them, even if they were on the brink of death, they never gave up. They got back up and kept going…always fighting for things they believe in….
Although they are nothing but fictional characters, they all inspired me…hell, even the minor characters inspired me.
My favorite quote from that anime is:
“Ore wo dare da to omotte yagaru!?”
Which translates into:
“Who the hell do you think I am!?”
That anime taught me how to believe in myself and to never give up.
Only, I didn’t take the word ‘impossible’ much into account. In fact, I forgot that Kamina had said something like “Go beyond the impossible and kick reason the curb”
Until I heard the song “What Faith Can Do” by Kutless and it was then I realized that ‘Impossible’ is just a stupid word to stop people from achieving their dreams.
Only….I still wouldn’t believe in me. I wasn’t sure I was able to believe in myself. But now, I realize that I won’t be able to achieve anything if I don’t.
Lol, I just remembered what Kamina had just said to Simon before his big moment:
“Listen up, Simon. Don't forget. Believe in yourself. Not in the you who believes in me. Not in the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself.”
Well…I’m probably just rattling and babbling on about some random stuff but I will never forget how that anime, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, touched me and inspired me.
But most of all, I will never ever forget how the ost, Ten wo Tsuke, makes me feel.
Anyways, I just wanted to let all that out..
No…I actually felt like I needed to let all that out….
Let others know how I feel about that awesome anime….
And all those stuff I just let out…
Are total actual reasons why Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is my most favorite anime that can never ever be replaced.
