Scifi that starts normal then goes cosmic (lemmy.ml)

I really enjoy sci-fi that starts grounded in reality — that eases you in with a slow build, a sense of normalcy, before the shift. I love when the story begins in the everyday, then opens into something strange and vast. Think the beginning of The Matrix or Old Man’s War, perhaps? That kind of vibe. Any recommendations?

Gurren Lagann, its an anime but the beginning of the show to the end of the show is such a fantastical journey.

I'm not a huge anime fan in general but I fucking love Gurren Lagann.

That show feels like every episode is competing to be the most ridiculous, but the only other competitor is the previous episode of the same show.
