Here we go again! Belated this month, due to some health issues. :) But still better late than never!

Since we are late coming into this, I came up with something fun and hopefully interesting for this month's community activity! This is officially your chance to be part of the sub's history while also doing something for other Gurren Lagann fans!

This month, I am calling anyone who can write, to action! I've been slowly working on the community's wiki, quietly in the background. But there is just so much to write about! So. We will have at least one of these writing events each year, and users will have a chance to submit and contribute to a fact-checked wiki, controlled by fans! I will be compiling everyone's submissions into streamlined pages, but you can essentially contribute whatever you want!

Your mission for the rest of this month is to write an article that YOU want to see on the wiki! Or maybe, you have a fun fact or obscure knowledge you would like to make known! Whether you choose to write about a character, or anything else in Gurren Lagann that you're passionate about, you can do so! I will fact-check everything for accuracy, but otherwise, feel free to put your own spin on it. And yes, multiple people will be able to contribute to the same page/topic, but you will be credited for any/all sections you write!

Let's come together and make the best wiki possible!

★ CONTEST!: WRITE YOUR OWN GURREN LAGANN WIKI ARTICLE!

★ Grand Prize: Ichibankuji Viral Figure, new in box!

★ Rules and Requirements:

1. This is NOT a contest of skill! Any skill level, any type of article style, perspective, or length, will be accepted! If you can write, you're welcome in this contest.

2. The only requirement is that you present factual information about your chosen topic. Your article can be about anything, as long as it is related to Gurren Lagann!

3. You can use any of your favorite mediums to submit. PasteBin, through Reddit chat, the transfer of a file, Google Docs, etc. Whatever you are comfortable with, I will read it! Feel free to submit it directly to the sub through a post, using the OC tag, if you like. So everyone will see your writing!

4. AI-generated content will NOT be permitted. If we wanted easy articles from an AI, I'd just do that myself. I will be checking. The work must come from YOU. This goes for plagiarism as well. You know I'm capable of digging, I will find out any naughty cheaters! ;)

★ How to Enter:

- Submit your finished article through any medium you choose. If you want others to read before the wiki is up, you can post a link in the comments section of this post, so others can check it out! I'll make sure it's visible. Otherwise, read over Rule 3 and take your pick!

- Each person gets ONE entry for the grand prize raffle. Submitting a completed article will get you entered into the drawing pool for the grand prize at the end of the month. Everyone participating has a chance to win!

- You can submit as many articles as you would like! They just won't net any extra tickets.

- Bonus prizes will be given out to anyone who goes the extra mile. So there will be some extra chances to win mini-prizes, even if you don't win the grand prize!

★ DEADLINE!: SUBMISSIONS CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 29TH!

After September 29th, no more articles will be accepted. Winners will be announced September 30th!

Good luck, everyone! I hope this concept will be one that you enjoy writing for. :) Its quite a bit different than all the story prompts in the past! If this does well enough, we will repeat it to add to the wiki! I know quite a lot of you have asked about it, so now is your chance to contribute the things you want others to read! Plus, your name will be written in the sub forever! So get into your writing gear and get going!

Welcome to Day 32!

We finally made it, Team Gurren! It's belated, but we are saying goodbye to August's voting event, today! I apologize that it took so long! For those who might be wondering, I ended up in the hospital during this event, so I was unable to put the work in for some extra days. To make up for it, September's event (starting tomorrow) is very easy, and I think you will have a lot of fun! ;) Be sure to check it out! Now! On to the finale of the first Tournament of Champions!

Simon takes the r/gurrenlagann crown AGAIN! The outpouring of love for our dear main character is very strong! Inspiring. It seems that no matter how many years pass, Simon will defend that crown! It will be some time before the main 4 characters are included in a competition like this again, so I hope you enjoyed being able to vote your heart out for your favorites! I love that Viral made it all the way to the finals, this time! We can't forget how deserving he is. I think it is the most fitting that the two characters with the most personal growth were matched, in the end! We had a lot of fun little poetic coincidences in our event this month, and all the data will be below!

I probably spent way too long doing the artwork for our official sub tier list, lol! I colored and drew everything that you see that isn't the pasted characters. :) You might notice that I have split tier 1 into two sections. The F-rated characters are all those who received under 5 total votes, in this Tournament! That is how the very bottom was determined. The rest was obviously based on the results that the sub chose! Before I announce the winner of this month's grand prize, I just wanted to take a moment and thank every single one of you who participated! Even those who lurked or simply upvoted! This community would be nothing without the combined effort of everyone, and I am so happy and fortunate that so many of you support and enjoy these events! I hope you will continue to come around and hang with us.

Now, let's congratulate the winner of the grand prize! Which is an Icibankuji Kamina figure, brand new! You will also find links below to previous posts. Anyone who wants to relive the fun can click through to read! At the bottom, the written match results will be posted for anyone curious. And if anyone wants their personal stats for this event, just let me know! Let's get on with the fun!

Congratulations, u/Silent_Armaros_God !!!!!!!

There are bonus prizes being given out this month as well, so if you participated in voting, be sure to check you inboxes over this weekend, as I will be dropping by to chat about prizes.
