Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
On a related note, from Toby Fox of Homestuck's music team comes another mashup, Libera Me From Sburb.
Libera Me From Slam. The fad inspired by Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden of mixing the Space Jam theme with everything has produced some awesome music, but this one works a lot better than you'd expect a song that already had lyrics would when given a slamjam mix.
Don't forget the music that plays when Simon and Kamina first break through to the surface.
I personally prefer the longer version: Ten wo Tsuke is just plain HEROIC.
It was even more epic during the Giga Drill scene in episode 8. Hotblooded speak, epic attacks AND awesome music.
And it was EVEN MORE EPIC during Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's formation in the movie.
Break Through The Dream, Kamina and Simon's song captures the Super Robot Spirit so well, it brought a tear to this tropers eye.
The fanfare they use for the brief recaps that start the episodes is so epic that this troper has it as his ringtone. People have commented on just how awesome it sounds even when completely out of context. Extended version here.
It also holds a special meaning to many Fraxy players.
Is It Okay To Just Get Fired Up?, the villain's victory song usually, music played when the enemy's really starting to get a solid advantage and you wonder the outcome. Not like you should, but. Y'know.
Spinning, Spinning, Spinning, Spiii!? was good, but normal background music until Lagann-hen, at which point it becomes the theme for creating Chouginga Gurren Lagann, Simon AND his mech obliterating everything and crying manly tears of blood, and the Dai-Gurren-dan going on an utter rampage in the name of vengeance and lost brothers.
It should be noted that there are two versions of Sorairo Days appended with Tengen Toppa EDITION. If it also has Lagann EDIT then it's from the movie, the other one splices the tune of Tsuzuku Sekai, Happily Ever After and a third song into it for an interesting but not quite as dramatic form of awesome. Can be heard here.
Also from the second movie: My XXX is the Best in the Universe In the same vein as the famous Row Row Fight the Power, but with brand new lyrics and a beat that will pierce the heavens.
