Long ago, in a distant land, I the Transformers ripoff of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable anime. But the foolish Spiral warrior wielding a magic drill stepped forth to oppose me. *slashing sounds* Before the final hole was drilled, I tricked them into a different way of thinking where my evil is law. Now the fool seeks to travel 27 years in the future and I guess he really can't undo the past that is Lord Genome!But seriously, it's a great show with depth, creativity, emotion, and great animation, music and atmosphere. It is one of my favorite shows of all time. Everything is handled perfectly and you can tell that everyone that worked on it cared a lot about the show.

I only have watched 15 of the 27 Episodes of this anime, which concludes the first mayor ark of the story, because I really wanted to give this show a shot. And I must say, the animation is quite stunning, but the story isn't too good, pretty basic in fact, but so over the top like only anime can. Most of the characters are pretty annoying, and aren't really that likable, because they scream almost all the time, which in itself is pretty aggravating . At least the dub isn't too bad. A few characters you grew to love. And many of the gunman designs are very creative and fun to watch. Still, I can't really get warm with it, it's just isn't my taste, which is why I only give it 6/10 I see that they put a lot of effort in the animation and style and did the best they could with the source material. I wish other anime would get that good animation as well.

My god, haven't watched something this lame in my entire life. Don't bother watching this if you're over 14, honestly it's hard to believe how much it is loved on Myanimelist and Reddit and so on. It's absolutely garbage in every way.My god, haven't watched something this lame in my entire life. Don't bother watching this if you're over 14, honestly it's hard to believe how much it is loved on Myanimelist, Reddit etc. The characters are weak, the story is weak, the music is god awful, the diagloues are corny and cliché as can be. There's nothing in the show that I can tell is good, it's just that bad. I'm giving this a zero, not only because I want its undeserved rating to go down, but also because I sincerely think that it's a 1/10 show. Hell I would give it a 0 if it was a thing...

I'd like to make a few things clear before I say what i'm about to say about this anime. And that's: "I didn't want to like it." I'm serious, when I saw all the hype surrounding it and claims of "THE best anime", I felt antagonistic of the whole idea. I never believed it, I mean THE best? There's no way... But then I watched it...Now again, another thing, I don't usually cry. Like, at all. Not a bit. Nor do I scream in excitement, which is why I didn't very much like watching Football with my uncles growing up. But man does Gurren Lagann rip me out of that state of mind. Never before have I seen such a perfect blend, just the right amount of episodes, just the right amount of characters, just the right amount of plot progression, and topped off with a PERFECT amount of action and romance to give me an experience I wouldn't believe. Bawling at some parts and jumping up and chanting "FIGHT THE POWER!!" at others, this is definitely the anime to watch, and absolutely the best anime ever. With an ending so satisfying and bittersweet giving you the proper closure you needed for letting go of such a perfect experience. If you haven't watched it do so now. It's Dub is just as good as the original, a rare case indeed, so get out there and become part of the Dai-Gurren Brigade!!
