The series was directed by Kyoda Tomoki and is produced by Studio Bones, known for the production of many hits such as Wolf’s Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Mob Psycho 100, and Boku no Hero Academia. In Japan, it is known as Psalms of the Planet: Eureka Seven, and is stylized simply as Eureka Seven internationally.

Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King, Lordgenome, who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages. These villages have no contact with the surface world or other villages, and are under constant threat of earthquakes.

In the early 21th century, Earth came under attack from the alien Azo, who creep their influence across the globe over the course of the next few decades. That initially means little to a young Renton Thurston, however, who delights in hanging out with the sunlight-averse girl Eureka and Nirvash, a cutesy little critter who will one day grow into a transforming mecha-like being.
