Alicia I love this movie so much

Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

aaronjamesmaximus This show pales in comparison to other giant robot anime of the 80's and 90's and even the early 2000's. First off the characters are inane boring and one dimensional especially yoko whose sole purpose is to make fanboys horny, I mean I don't mind sex appeal in an anime, but at least don't show her boobs every 2 minutes or make her interesting or better yet get rid of her entirely. Now for the music which is horrible in this show call me lame but I can't stand rap it was mildly annoying in the late 80's early 90's but now there's talking animated dogs who rap kitchen appliances it infected are very society like a virulent disease the only cure Heavy Metal and no hair metal crap. Anyway back to gurren lagann if the lame characters and bad music didn't drive you away the moronic plot will I mean it makes no sense first genome is the bad guy and then oh no it was these weird dna helix or whatever aliens they're the real bad guys and now we gotta blow em up because bros. I mean it seems like a five year old wrote the plot to this crapola. As I said before go watch Voltron(classic), Robotech 1985, Big O, or Mobile Suit Gundam instead.

Harikrushnan WHAT I LIKED1. Story has some good moments.2. Great music. The best tracks are "Sorairo Days" and "Libera me from Hell (Row! Row! Fight the power!)".WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE1. The anime is extremely cheesy at the beginning. So when it becomes serious from episode 8 and Kamina dies, the impact is less as it is doesn't sink in.2. Most of the mecha fights are too long and are ridiculous.TOP 5 EPISODES1. Episode 26 - Let's Go, Buddy2. Episode 08 - Later, Buddy3. Episode 14 - Well Met, Everyone4. Episode 15 - I Will Head Towards Tomorrow5. Episode 18 - Tell Me the Secrets of This WorldVERDICTA decent anime with great music. One-time watch.6/10 - Above average

Ben Davis Gurren Lagann is ridiculously stupid and illogical and it knows it, which of course works it its favor. It knows that it isn't a deep character study with a rich, deep fulfilling plot, so it fills most of the episodes to the brim with beautifully animated kick-ass action scenes, though the show has its share of faults. It takes a while to really pick up, at least it did for me. It was only up until maybe halfway through that it started to become awesome. Up until that point the show wasn't terrible. It just didn't really capture my attention. The show did come to a bit of a halt for maybe 3 episodes, when Rossiu decides to turn into a dick, but it's brief and didn't hurt the show overall. Other than that, I had no problems with this show. It's incredibly stupid, but man if it isn't some incredible popcorn entertainment. ( I forgot to mention: the last episode may contain the most epic fight scene of all time. Brace yourself.)

Dharkstar1 After a long time of evaluating I think I've finally admitted to myself, this has become my favorite anime(sorry, Berserk).On the surface, it's a "more power" anime with giant robots, over-the- top action and ridiculous characters. However, the show knows this and plays into it while basically saying to itself, "I'm going to be the best more power anime with giant robots, over-the-top action and ridiculous characters that anyone has ever seen, and make it so epic that no other giant robot show can compete". And for me, it basically is.If I could only use two words to describe Gurren Lagann, it would be "pure energy". As far as entertainment value is concerned, I don't believe I've felt more entertained by any other anime. Not a single episode was boring filler (well half an episode, which is common in most anime), and along with the theme of the show, each episode is progressively bigger and better than the last. They could have easily made this a 2 season show by breaking it after a certain point, but instead kept it compact and fast-paced.I think what makes the show special is that it never takes itself too seriously (evident by artwork and animation), but ultimately is quite serious in its message, and very thought provoking by the end. Most philosophical anime tend to bog the viewer down in loads of symbolic jargon, and in the end, often end up confusing or boring the audience. Gurren Lagann has all that symbolism that loves to pop up in anime, but basically stays in the background and plays a secondary role. If you wanted to completely ignore the philosophical undertones in the show you could do it, and it would still be very entertaining.The story is pretty straight forward, but if you're wanting to dig deeper, I think the spiral concept used throughout the show is the most unique theme that has been done in an anime. The music is memorable and used very well throughout, with the Libera Me From Hell track from the final three episodes still occasionally being chanted by me, years after hearing it the first time. The ending is feel-good and appropriate to the series.I know this review will probably be seen by only a few of the already converted, but to those who are on the bubble, give the show a shot and there is a good chance it might just become your favorite.
