In the small village of Jiha, Simon, a shy boy who works as a digger discovers a strange glowing object during excavation. The enterprising Kamina, a young man with a pair of rakish sunglasses and the passion of a firey sun, befriends Simon and forms a small band of brothers, the Gurren Brigade, to escape the village and break through the ceiling of the cave to reach the surface, which few believe exist. The village elder won't hear of such foolishness and punishes the Brigade. However, when disaster strikes from the world above and the entire village is in jeopardy, it's up to Simon, Kamina, a girl with a big gun named Yoko, and the small yet sturdy robot, Lagann, to save the day. The new friends journey to the world above and find that the surface is a harsh battlefield, and it's up to them to fight back against the rampaging Beastmen to turn the tide in the humans' favor! Pierce the heavens, Gurren Lagann! #### Playback Warning The OP karaoke will not appear properly using VLC (instead of bouncing and changing color, the lyrics will simply disappear). I recommend using MPC or something similar to watch with. #### Credits Original raw visual encode by tokyosama Original raw 5.1 audio by wilfried Original subtitles by AOmundson and Amadeus, modified from Nostalgic and CBM #### Screenshots       #### Media Info Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High 10@L5.1 Format settings : CABAC / 16 Ref Frames Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, RefFrames : 16 frames Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 25 min 51 s Bit rate : 11.3 Mb/s Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 10 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.227 Stream size : 2.04 GiB (71%) Writing library : x264 core 152 r2851 ba24899 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=16 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=11 / psy=1 / psy_rd=0.90:0.10 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=32 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / lookahead_threads=2 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=8 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=240 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=60 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=14.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=81 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=3:0.80 Language : Japanese Default : Yes Forced : No Audio #1 ID : 2 Format : FLAC Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec Codec ID : A_FLAC Duration : 25 min 53 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 1 539 kb/s Channel(s) : 6 channels Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 11.719 FPS (4096 SPF) Bit depth : 16 bits Delay relative to video : 200 ms Stream size : 285 MiB (10%) Writing library : libFLAC 1.3.2 (UTC 2017-01-01) Language : English Default : Yes Forced : No Audio #2 ID : 3 Format : FLAC Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec Codec ID : A_FLAC Duration : 25 min 51 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 1 511 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 11.719 FPS (4096 SPF) Bit depth : 24 bits Stream size : 279 MiB (9%) Writing library : libFLAC 1.3.2 (UTC 2017-01-01) Language : Japanese Default : No Forced : No Audio #3 ID : 4 Format : FLAC Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec Codec ID : A_FLAC Duration : 25 min 51 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 1 457 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 11.719 FPS (4096 SPF) Bit depth : 24 bits Stream size : 270 MiB (9%) Title : Commentary Writing library : libFLAC 1.3.2 (UTC 2017-01-01) Language : Japanese Default : No Forced : No Text #1 ID : 5 Format : ASS Codec ID : S_TEXT/ASS Codec ID/Info : Advanced Sub Station Alpha Duration : 25 min 39 s Bit rate : 9 651 b/s Count of elements : 5933 Compression mode : Lossless Stream size : 1.77 MiB (0%) Title : Signs/Songs Language : English Default : Yes Forced : No Text #2 ID : 6 Format : ASS Codec ID : S_TEXT/ASS Codec ID/Info : Advanced Sub Station Alpha Duration : 25 min 39 s Bit rate : 9 745 b/s Count of elements : 6278 Compression mode : Lossless Stream size : 1.79 MiB (0%) Language : Japanese Default : No Forced : No Menu 00:00:00.000 : en:OPENING 00:01:30.007 : en:PART A 00:11:58.968 : en:PART B 00:24:04.985 : en:ENDING 00:25:35.492 : en:PREVIEW
