Synopsis

Simon and Kamina were born and raised in a deep underground village, hidden from the surface world. Kamina is a free-spirited rebel determined to make a name for himself, while Simon is a timid young boy with no particular aspirations. One day, while digging in the earth, Simon discovers a mysterious object that turns out to be the ignition key to an ancient weapon, which they name Lagann. Using their new weapon, Simon and Kamina fend off a surprise attack from the surface with the help of Yoko Littner, a hot-blooded redhead wielding a massive gun who wanders the world above. In the aftermath of the battle, the sky is now visible, prompting Simon and Kamina to set off on a journey alongside Yoko to explore the wastelands of the surface. Soon, they join the fight against the "Beastmen," humanoid creatures that terrorize the remnants of humanity in powerful robots called "Gunmen." Although they face some challenges and setbacks, the trio bravely fights these new enemies alongside other survivors to reclaim the surface, while slowly unraveling a galaxy-sized mystery.
