== Trivia ==
# Lord Genome's four generals are named after the four nucleotide bases found in DNA: Cytosine (Cytomander), Guanine (Guame), Adenine (Adiane), and Thymine (Thymilph).
# About 40% of the shows budget was reserved for the last few episodes so as not to run into the same problems Gainax had with Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995).
# The titular Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann mecha is, as of mid-2008, the largest robot in anime history, standing ten million light-years tall. Our galaxy is one hundred thousand light-years across and the biggest known galaxies are estimated to have diameters of roughly six million light-years. 
# Though they both look much different in age, both Simon and Yoko are actually 14 years old in the first half of the anime.
# This is one of very rare anime where it is not actually based on a manga, in fact, a manga was based off of it.
# When Cytomander drops large bombs on the Dai-Gurren, they bear a striking resemblance to the Bullet Bills from the Super Mario franchise.
# ADV Films had the license at one point. A script had been written and voice actors had been casted. Then ADV dropped the title and it went over to Bandai.
