One of my favorite animes. In 27 episodes, you see the main character go from a young teenager, to an adult, to an old man. It's brought tears to my eyes on multiple occasions. The combat and plot can be whacky, but the story between the characters is touching.

When you watch "Gurren Lagann", all you can think of is the passion that was used in the series. The tale of brotherly bond and the strive for the future is what Gurren Lagann is all about and many will, probably, learn a thing or two from this great anime series.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (TTGL) is an amazing series encompassing many characters whom you learn to love, and a compelling story driven by human spirit and the will to fight for the future.

This series begs you to turn your brain off. It does not try to pretend its something more. It knows what it is and it revels in it.

Despite its amazingly tropy nature, it manages to engage you in the plot, and the characters are really good. The only complaint I could find is that the start of the second season starts off a bit slow, veering off the way the series works, but it picks up shortly after a few episodes. It gets big, really big, gigantic, both figuratevely and litteraly. Watch it!… Expand

My god, haven't watched something this lame in my entire life. Don't

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 myMy god, haven't watched something this lame in my entire life. Don't

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 dialogues 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...… Expand
