Gurren Lagann: The Abridged - Episode 1
MultiDarkZen for The Narrator
A kind elderly disembodied voice who occasionally chimes in to introduce a character or explain a scenario, sometimes adding a bit of meta humor to what he's saying. Should sound like a kind old soul, like a grandpa you're excited to hear bedtime stories from.
[Images of the universe are shown as the narrator begins monologuing before being cut off by an explosion and then comically screaming at how absurd the situation is]
Space, a beautiful infinite expanse of infinite possibilities. This dear viewer, is where our story begin-(An explosion cuts the man off) JESUS CHRIST THEY'RE BLOWING UP SPACE!?[The narrator thinks to himself]
This would be the perfect time to play an opening or theme song of sorts...oh but what to play? Ah, I got it![As an epic battle rages on the narrator begins to speak]
Sometimes dear viewer, there comes a moment in an abridged where what is happening on screen is so fucking epic, making a joke is impossible. Currently we are watching two big ass mechs tear each other limb from limb, do you really want this moment to be ruined by a pop culture reference? No (Light chuckle) No I think not.
