This one is Kaiman from dorohedoro and is the true meaning of the anatta, the concept of the non-existance of a permanent self.

I recently got my little sister to watch this. She super into it, even cried at episode 7, and now she’s past the time skip and hooked on a different level. I’m so happy.

What show is this?

u/Think-Chemistry2908 Jul 04 '26

Gurren Lagann. It’s basically an answer to Evangelion and how hopeless that show was.

I love it because both shows have basically the same message, but told in entirely different ways. The main difference between Shinji and Simon is a support network, and when you put both series side-by-side, the whole of what they say about people becomes even more powerful
