From what I heard, the 2 Gurren Lagann movies are shortened version of the TV
series. Is there anything new added or modified in the movies, or are they
just summaries of the TV series? If there are any additions or modifications,
would you please list them out?

I am aware that the content is compressed, so it is expected that many scenes
from the TV series will be shortened to squeeze 675 minutes' worth of content
into 120 (Gurren-hen) + 130 (Lagann-hen) = 250 minutes of the 2 movies. I am
only interested in the **new scenes** and **modifications to existing plot**.
An exclusion caused by modification to existing plot also counts.

question
gurren-lagann
What has been added and/or changed in the 2 Gurren Lagann movies compared to TV series?


The first movie (Gurren-hen or Childhood's End) is basically a recap of the
first half of the tv series, similarly the second movie (Lagann-hen or The
Lights in the Sky Are Stars) covers the second half.

There is around 20 minutes of new material in the first film and a bit more in
the second film - primarily added in the final battle

The only changes in plot were that

> Makken doesn't die

&

> The Gurren Lagann evolves to an even higher stage, becoming Dai Tengen Toppa
> Gurren Lagann which is even larger than galaxies!

There's an overall improvement in the animation quality, noticeably making
battle scenes more thrilling.
