Studio Trigger is gearing up to celebrate Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill in a special new exhibition for both of these anime juggernauts! Studio Trigger is in the midst of celebrating some massive anniversaries in the last few years as not only has the studio celebrated its own tenth anniversary, but some of its biggest hits are reaching major milestones in their own right. The studio is even reaching into catalogs that were there before they even started producing anime on their own for celebrations of their works, and now we’re getting a fun new team up between Trigger and Aniplex.

Studio Trigger and Aniplex have announced a special new “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann vs. Kill la Kill Exhibition” that will be scheduled to open in Japan later this Summer to highlight not only Trigger’s work with their very first anime, Kill la Kill, but Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima’s previous release with the now defunct Gainax, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. To celebrate the announcement of the new exhibition, illustrator Sushio has shared a cool new poster bringing the two anime franchises together in a dream crossover. Check it out below:

As for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, it’s teased as such, “This is the story of a man who has yet to realize what destiny holds in store for him…In the distant future, mankind has lived quietly and restlessly underground for hundreds of years, subject to earthquakes and cave-ins. Living in one such village are 2 young men: one named Simon who is shy and naïve, and the other named Kamina who believes in the existence of a ‘surface’ world above their heads.”
