Gurren Lagann Parallel Works 7

[AQWMavinien]

Man, this is by far the greatest song of the whole anime. Seriously, they SHOULD have made something greater... like, Super Galaxy Gurren Laggan, STTGL, all another gunmen vs an Anti-Spiral army, galaxy shuriken wars.... something freaking epic. Not a video of... rl.

[SergioSource]

3:24 gives me a feeling I can't describe

[SHIR0S4KI]

@Rubenimus21 the shadow i think is a refernece to Kamina's dad..hence the skulls everywhere

[SHIR0S4KI]

@primitiverobot its supposed to be like a real world version of the wasteland that the first half of the anime took place in

[Rubenimus21]

it´s a shadow....running.....SO EPIC

[MsBluejay13]

Everytime they played that song, something sad happened on the show. It's all coming back to me now. I need a moment *grabs tissue* Still an awesome song though.

[epic6606]

is this the real one? cuz i find it hard to belive that they would take the most EPIC song from ttgl and make that ^ the video to go with it

[MrKilroyKiljoy]

RUN, SHADOW, RUN

[Cipher158]

Libera me from hell, epic song yes,... but... frankly i expected more from gainax... to say i wasnt disappointed would be a lie, but who cares, overall its a good video and good song and TTGL is one of the best anime ever, thats that

[Rubenimus21]

@Cipher158 one of the best?

[MightyNeonFraa]

The shadow of some guy running around has never been more fucking amazing.

[gabbie363]

this song will make ANYTHING epic! even if its a video of a laughing baby with kittens surrounding it.. :)

[BloodyFatalis]

We are insignificant compared to the universe we live in...

Super tengen toppa, on the other hand, is almost bigger then the universe.

[Katingaan]

@BloodyFatalis "Almost"?

[nerovolpi]

26 people are Anti-Spirals

[marioinf]

lol the skull sings

[UnendingEmpire]

Mine was better

[cataclysMz360]

"'Libera Me' from Hell" August 15, 2008

An experimental real world look at the environment of the surface portrayed in the first half of the series, which includes the shadow of a man running and a skull motif, possibly in reference to Kamina's father.

the exact words of the director and writers

[TheWeirdoClub]

OPERA AND RAP. OMIGAWD ITS AWESOME. I hate hip-hop because there is no MUSIC to it, and I want to shove this in people's ears and go THIS IS EPIC. ARE YOU HEARING THIS? ITS MUSIC. ITS BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING. Stop listening to that auto-tuned Kanye West and let the music become real PASSION to move your daily life!!

[HancockAndLuffy]

Why would anyone dislike this video? It's just so... wrong.

[TrainerPiro]

3:03 Spiral Power at its peak.

[Araleam]

this is actually to demonstrate that the world in the anime is not so different from our own.

[orgixvi3]

Why didn't this Parallel Works end with Tengen Toppa or Super Tengen Toppa? D:

[demoblaster]

The philosophical meaning for this video is so deep that the average fan of Gurren Lagann is incapable of understanding its deepness.

[demoblaster]

This particular work is a parallel of our own world compared to the world of the anime. Life may seems barren like a desert but you can't let that stop you. Kick logic out and do the impossible! Get up onto your feet, Row Row Fight Da Powa and run and don't stop running until you reach your goal no matter how long it takes. Life is a struggle with sacrifices (as indicated by the memorial of words near the end) but never forget that we are just a small drop in something much bigger than we alone

[Scarecrowking]

@demoblaster Agreed. Plus, apparently telling the story of Kamina's father too, just damn.

[TonyBMan]

@demoblaster yeah, plus those of us who cant understand moonrunes

[spartan1010101]

Earth in itself is a drill meant to pierce the heavens with its awesomeness

[SilentStalkerX]

What do you mean it's not awesome indeed.

[laharl20242]

good song 

[pancho000111]

You are in a war? Play this song, it's an instant win.

[buizel200]

OH i get it!!!!1 its the land were it all started and that skull is bros dad :O

[SteelthewolfX]

@buizel200 His name is not "Bro", It's Kamina.

Unless You're calling him Bro. Then that's okay.

[buizel200]

@SteelthewolfX Kamina is my bro.... Shit i wish he was

[TriTwingTwang]

FUCK YEAH ROCKS

[FreshPenguin918]

this is what happens when an author has free time. he/she doesn't know how to cope with out deadlines.

[Thespians1]

Damn that song is bad ass

[hinasakubff]

the song is row row fight the power.

[KandasuKousei]

@hinasakubff No, it's actually one of the many remakes to it in the series. It is, indeed, "Libera Me" From Hell.

[hinasakubff]

@KandasuKousei I just learned that recently sowwy!

[KandasuKousei]

@hinasakubff XD Well as long as you know, now~! <3

[thestupidgoose]

go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb! that's the dai-gurren way!

[CyNz999]

3:24 OMFG!!! A Talking Skull!!!

is this a reference to their OST Ahhh! A Skeletonn!! A Skeletonnn!!!

[techninja7]

now why isnt discovery channel like this?

[imasillypiggy]

this makes me think of how cool a live action gurren lagann movie would be

[feetonthetable]

@imasillypiggy Reality isn't ready for the GAR.

[MisterGamer43]

@feetonthetable Correction: Reality is not GAR enough yet for a live-action version to be made. No one is awesome enough, true story.

[KnightAce24]

the point of this wasnt nature it was gurren laggan real life

[simondeep]

3:05 Staring up into the sky from Littner village. Gunmen-attacks, day in, day out! D:

[ZKoftherebellion]

why the fuck are there no ACTUAL vids for parallel works 7?

fuckers.

[IshidaTheQuincy]

Actual, you mean like this one?

[ZKoftherebellion]

@IshidaTheQuincy right, because CLEARLY someone taking video/pictures of some random desert is clearly not fake whatsoever...

[IshidaTheQuincy]

Precisely. :)

Think: there is no other version (at least none that "looks" official) of this video, and the only one there is has credits identical to every other video in the series. Also, I don't see your point. There is really no reason for one to think of it as a fake. If it's because of the pictures, it's just the art direction Gainax decided to go with. Also, in which enviroment did the first episodes of the anime take place in, hmm? :)

[RedWinterHero]

@IshidaTheQuincy Ugh think for yourself, this isn't the real one they made. The real one was the baby's penis swinging back and forward. They must've taken it down.

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@RedWinterHero

No. That's the 5th one.

[primitiverobot]

"So we're doing the Parallel Works video for "Libera Me" From Hell next, I guess. It'll be pretty tough to do this song justice, huh? We already used the European medieval fantasy idea we had, and the Western theme, and the... uh, pachinko one. So I was thinking for this track, we could--"

"The Australian outback."

"... You're a fucking genius."

[Natendo64]

@primitiverobot Real laughter was produced.

[XIII13lak]

They could set this song to a 5th grade power point project about potatoes.

AND IT WOULD STILL BE AWESOME!

[BurningToDeth]

Hell, you could play a 5th grade power point project about potatoes without this song.

AND IT WOULD STILL BE AWESOME!

I fucking love potatoes.

[Forzatoadv]

You could play a movie about Hitler with this and make him look like a fucking hero. Really, this song turns everything into pure awesome

[SSj5Bob]

This was trolling of epic proportions, they save possibly the most epic song from the OST and... play it to film clips of landscapes.

[dargent]

You don't need anything interesting on the screen when this music is playing.

[SSj5Bob]

Yes but it's the wasted potential that's the dissapointing thing.

[dargent]

What wasted potential? Frankly, for a piece of music this grand it should have been just a blank screen. To sully the simple awesomeness of the music with complicated imagery would be madness!

What would you want to be going on instead of the simple images of nature?

[SSj5Bob]

You saw what they did with To Hell With Gattai, that one was awesome. Why not do something like that.

[mattone]

Looks like shots here in NM.

[hoffsgg]

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH

[SquigPie]

This thing was so wierd, nature shots, deep opera woman singing. and a bunch of rappers yelling ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!

Does it get any cooler?

[scify65]

See the actual episodes of the anime that use this song. Yes, it gets cooler.

[SquigPie]

*spoilers*

The scene in episode 26 where Kamina saves everybody with this song playing is about the most deeply...touching things I've ever seen.

[Skyrius]

I just sat through over 4 minutes of random....nature shots.

Shows what an epic song makes you do.

[NorthPinkWitch42]

Whoa, was I the only one who saw those skulls on the moon...? That was so cool.

[narutoman876]

where can i download the ost damnit!!

[qwerty034]

this song...is epic, tottally insperational

the video has a greater inner meaning, what i guess you have to watch it a few times to have a bit of a greater understanding of it. whni first saw this video i was a bit dissapointed because the other videos where so good but this is also a really good video

[TheBMB7]

meh this one was kinda disappointing, it didn't have much to do with TTGL

[YoustolemyShinigami]

How can you say this doesn't have much to do with TTGL? This is representing the surface from the first episodes. Also the skulls and stuff. Totally TTGL

[TheBMB7]

ya i said it didn't have much to do with TTGL, i see the parallels, but they're not really that significant and it's pretty much the same idea throughout the whole video

[MoSteel7]

You don't understand, this is when Kamina's dad when up to the surface. (Sorry if I spelt his name wrong)

[k2thereaper]

eeeyyy! someone got it finally XD

[KallimaAwesome]

...

[vvvpqsw]

Nature is Epic!

[JuuLii0x3]

Nature isn't epic, THIS song made it epic

[xXxspiralookamixXx]

If you put this song to ANYTHING, it instantly becomes epic.

:)

That's why it's so kick ass!

[im50yearsold]

Nature would kick your ass bro

[bairdrew]

@vvvpqsw

and even if nature wasnt epic, it would be made so by this song.

[TAnimatorT]

@vvvpqsw its good there's no celing or anything blocking it :3

[McAnkkuli]

director is Yamaga Hiroyuki

[valteren]

That's looks like Moab Utah.

[FrankyPistachio]

this video is so awesome <3

my favourtie part was when the skull sings xD

[GiantMoth]

The Moon looked awesome with the skulls from 3:20 forward :D

[KarolaKH]

mmm for me this vid has no sense...

[Tenshimeo]

then u didt watchet tengge toppa gurren laggan till end

[theskikidz]

this vid sucks... song and show are beastly though

[Kukijiro]

The piano parts sound similar to summer by Joe Hisaishi.

[elmalhermano]

This is simon´s, Dai-Gurren´s, Humanity´s, no! this is my soul !!!!

[thelimit69]

hah kittan

[TheChannelis75]

@elmalhermano nice kittan refrence

[Studmanafier]

@elmalhermano DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK IT'S GOING TO BE WIPED OUT BY THE LIKES OF YOU?

[darkzack]

What a way to waste such a badass song.

[creonmanx]

where Can I find this ver. of this song??

[killerkat285]

the name of the song is "libra me from hell" i have no idea where to find it other than the soundtrack.

[McConsumer]

you can rip it from this video

[NyteSama]

huh... looks kinda like my backyard.

This PW was dissappointing. :/

[meramerawolf242]

hmm.....kinda makes me wonder what a liveaction of GL would be like

[personsom1]

that... is... taboo...

[McConsumer]

I agree, they would totally hack it up...and not in a good way.

[Gospeldude]

live action can't simply contain the epic awesomeness of the Dai-Gurren Brigade.

And no human is as hot-blooded enough as Kamina-sama.

[loszi]

thru, thru....

[RandomGuy2133]

I thought there'd be more too it. Not so great.

[JCAznDude]

ROFLMAO This reminds me of a movie I saw in my English class! "Koyaanisqatsi" An Native American movie about nature...Funny ass movie!

[NicuYuriev]

OH GAINAX

[Teeb15]

lol.

[MeaganBelieves]

This looks like it was filmed in Australia

[fruitytuttiluigi]

Is the part near the last part a bunch of quotes form the anime?

[LOLhahaDEADxx]

Amazing song. Amazing series. Not such an amazing video.

[ItsJustHenry]

Is this the final parallel works?

[myexodusxo]

no there's one more.

[justavoid]

i feel disappointed. ;_;

[Giltia]

...the most epic song from Gurren Lagann is set to, what? Clouds? A fake skull?

The very end of the clip is the only part I give any credit too.

This bit the big one.

[pearlmilkteaman]

This clip made me sad. This song deserves so much more. :(

[xHezaChanx]

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH

[snatcherofpeachs]

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH

[otakubuffet]

um....ok then?

[carnage1986]

WTF

[zero4999]

soooooo..... whens coming ep 8 (im not gonna say this is shit beacuse many people who watch this after me is going to say it).

[Arcainum2000]

That pierced the heavens with its drill for the sole purpose of GOING OVER MY HEAD.

[KuroshiDark]

I think the shadow of the guy we see is actually Kamina, the skull being the one he saw when he got the Gurren moving, so the video makes a bit of sense...

....That said, it was a dissapointment.

[amuzani]

who put Libera Me From Hell on a R.E.M.'s videoclip?...

[ilcorra]

It's shit, right?

[echidna999shima]

it's shit.

[sakenomiko]

I mean I understand all of the deep meaning and stuff. But I just feel like for having us waiting Gainax could have done so so much more with this. This song was so important to the series and played during such emotional times... I'm just, well I'm a little disappointed is all.

On a fangirl level I'm even more disappointed at the fact that we've seen no Kittan at all

[Air0087]

Ok...wtf was that?

[Blitz8083]

As Comic Book Guy would say, "Worst. Episode. EVER."

[rba718]

What's the matter, too deep for you?

[TheMadLiteralist]

Too shallow. Whatdoyoumeanitsnotsymbolic at its finest.

[koldofcaelin]

This looks like evangelion. It's obviously gainax being "deep", and not lazy. At all. No sir.

[SteveRestless]

Even a faceful of gimmywang was better than this.

Pierce the video with your fail.

[kaku93]

WTF? is orrible!

[kaku93]

finally! X_X

[RaitoFurude]

No Kamina? Ah fack.

[peasnquiet]

Actually I thought this was pretty introspective and amazing in its own way. If you could read the kanji perhaps it would make more sense...

[brass2themaxx]

Waste of 4:44 of my life. OH NO HERE ARE SPOILERS! You get to see: Rocks... Clouds... A shadow of some guy running... A zoom out to space... Some more rocks... Rocks... Clouds.. Rocks... Did I mention rocks? Nope, no Gurren Lagann here.

[jinsaotomex3]

WTB Parallel works 8... this was... disappointing... to say the least.

[bigred2989]

WTF was that?

[admkanne]

OMG YAY IT HAS COME! THE SEVENTH!
