Bunny Beastwomen
CharacterThe Bunny Beastwomen are rabbit-type Beastmen who appear in a single episode of Gurren Lagann, greeting visitors in human form while secretly serving the Human Eradication Army. Their designs hide a string of cameos, borrowing the faces of heroines from Gunbuster, Evangelion, and other Gainax works.
Appearance
Each Bunny Beastwoman presents two looks: a human disguise worn to put guests at ease, and a true Beastman body built on a bunny mutation. Their human faces double as an in-joke, modeled on women from other Gainax productions: Kazumi Amano, Jung Freud, and Reiko Kashiwara of Gunbuster, Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Nono and Lal'c Melk Mark of Diebuster, Mahoro of Mahoromatic, and Miss Aki of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.
Personality
False warmth defines the group. They receive human visitors as gracious hostesses while belonging to an army whose purpose is humanity's eradication, and the hospitality lasts only as long as the disguise does.
History
The Bunny Beastwomen come from Teppelin, and Episode 6 holds their entire on-screen story; they are counted among the series' deceased. Their afterlife is commercial: despite never returning in the anime, they turn up regularly in the mobile game Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann SEA, populating its microtransaction stores.
