Description Back in 2007, the 'Daily Telegraph' held a contest to redesign the British Union Flag. It came up in an argument for adding Wales to the flag in some way (incorporating the dragon or a saint etc.) Oddly, the world went mad for the competition, and the winner was by an anonymous Norwegian, who came up with a Gurren Lagann-inspired flag. It got around 55% of the votes Otaku must account for a large proportion of the paper-readers population.

That, or it just looked so damn cool it appealed to the masses.

No surprises the government types were not happy with the idea hehehe. Being both a Brit and an otaku, I quite like the idea... although to genuinely change the flag would be a bit daft. I feel sorry for Wales not being included on the Union Flag, but neither are the Channel Isles, the Isle of Mann, or any of the outposts found dotted around the world.

Pippin-Yoko flies the Gurren-Jack proudly though This'll prolly get scrapped later, but I just finished watching Gurren Lagann and am geeking out like crazy at present, so pah!

That flag is full of manly combining, the manly combining of it is too epic for them to really take it as a new flag XD sorry I just had to say that XD I never even heard of that contest till you said here, it's a bit silly holding a contest for a new flag most wont accept a new one anyway.

Nice pic I love the pose you used ^^ and the colouring as well (:

8D Gurren Lagann makes everyone geek out like crazy after watching it all 8D I watched it three weeks ago and I'm still geeking out about it lol

Thank you ^^

Manly combining You don't always need to be on the flag Wales - just believe in the UK who believes in you!

I just stumbled on the contest when I looked Gurren up on Wikipedia Geeking out is fun - the other day I yelled out 'FIGHTING SPIRIT' when I beat my friends at a video game. This series is going to amuse me for some time XD

Hehe, it would make such a badass flag too... And i'm sure The Offspring would agree!

Say, wonder if they're looking for a new national anthem too...

Yes - this country needs a more upbeat national anthem!
