Oh well that was pretty much my idea so I might tell the connection to save Bowsy some time:

There are more connections to it but this is what I can remember so far.
 * Both have the theme of evolution, as pretty much they can fuse with other beings similar to them to become more stronger (Shoutmon can fuse with Digimon and GL can fuse with other Gunmen).
 * Both wield unconventional weapons that are also for their namesake (Gurren Lagann wields a drill, and whose name translates to IIRC "Heaven Piercer Crimson Face" in which drills pierce through stuff and Shoutmon wields a microphone as his name suggest SHOUTS!).
 * Both are also coloured Crimson.
 * Both also became pretty powerful throughout the seires and the series takes place in wars (The Anti-Spiral Wars and the Xros Wars).
 * They boht also have human pilots/partners who wear goggles, cladded in red-and-blue (opposite for Mikey's case), have opposite personalities and as time went on became charismatic leaders.
 * They both also have willpower empowerement (yes its stated that in some wiki Shoutmon has willpower empowerement so theirs that).
