This ending was even better than the anime one! The word "EPIC" is not enough to describe this title.

I wasn't really expecting anything since the first recap movie was good but not as much as the serie... But...

That. Was. Fucking. Great.

That made me fully remember why I loved TTGL so much.

Can't... help... myself...
Epicness... Overload...

That was epic indeed. I'm usually rather harsh when it comes to recaps, but the new material in both movies was great. Especially in Lagann-hen. After watching it I don't know what to do with myself now... I'm just speechless. Solid 9/10. Would be 10/10 if it was entirely new animation.

P. S. Nia. <3

For some reason, I liked the original fight scene better. Sure it was shorter, but it seemed so (IMO)... simple and clean.

But nonetheless, I was sitting at the edge of my chair watching the ending.

On the other hand, they added some mild nudity, haha.

Wow the second one is truly amazing. Much better than the first one and it didn't felt like a recap at all. The fight against the anti-spiral was just flawless.

The unavoidable compromises were much better delivered in the second movie. All the radically changed stuff (Makken & the rest not dying etc.) didn't bother me after a while, since it felt like new fresh perspective to things. The scene with Kamina and Kittan sent chills through my spine.

And yes, that fistfight was something out of this world.

That was fucking awesome. So much epicness in one movie.

The changed stuff was great. The new gunmens and gattais were awesome and the fistfight was incredible epic.

Too bad that there will be no new TTGL stuff. >,<

What really made this so good was the fight at the end. My. God. Could that have been any more amazing? Everyone's own mecha, that huge combo, it all left me speechless. Still the first hour & a half was fairly boring so this gets a 9 from me. I love this series <3

There aren't enough words in our range of possible words...... Not now, not ever...... that can describe the infinite awesomeness this movie was........ BUT I'M GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE WAY THE DAI GURREN DAN ROLLS!!!! EPIC TO THE INFINITE!!!!!!

I loved the last fight, OMFG how hacked and uber can something get????!!!! Extraordinary. As an Astrophysicist, seeing these scales, although mechanically incorrect, actually portrayed in a visible way is just amazing. And mechanically incorrect does not stop THE DAI GURREN DAN!! ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I had a tiny glimmer of hope that Nia would live through it. :( Nia-sama!!! *sniff

F-ING EPIC! Some people were saying that they didn't want to waste their time on the movie because they knew how it would end.... I can say that I was not disappointed by either Lagann movie!

I jizzed in my pants and cried tears of manliness after watching the TV show's ending. Mecha the size of galaxies... WTF!

However... Nothing in existence can describe the EPICNESS of the ending.

NO OTHER ANIME WILL EVER COMPARE TO THE "GARNESS" of Lagann-hen!!

How do I put it?

Not as good and climatic as the TV series. This is not a recap, it rewrites some parts of the original script. I'm not an integralist bitch who likes the original version only, but the movie is just does not build all the despair up, form the resolves or postpones the climax as good as the many TV episodes.
Oh, and a mecha for Nia and all the others? A final SUPER Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? I call that fanservice.

This is good, aka 7/10. It would be definitely higher if the movie was a standalone production. But in the end this is just the shadow of its predecessor, so I can't bring myself to rate it any higher.

Agreed with Desirio. That said, I still loved it in all it's fanserviceness. Can't say I would recommend anyone these movies over the series in any circumstances since they don't tie things together very well, hence all the points show tried to made has been lost with exception of the older fans who has seen the series already.

But the fistfight should've found it's way to the series since it delivered the final fight even better than the original and the whole thing still maintained Gurren Lagann chronologically shedding itself.

IMHO it's not meant to be stand-alone .. I totally see this as supplementary to the series .. in that role IT'S FUCKING AWESOME, BECAUSE IT MAKES THE ENDING EVEN COOLER than original .. the build-up is in the series

they could've just left everything the same and simply compressed .. but they didn't, they changed TTGLs, gave us a Kamina SuperTTGL and THE FIST FIGHT OMG THAT FIST FIGHT WAS MANLIER THEN I'LL EVER BE

I can safely say that was one of the better thing I've seen. Even if the entire ending was fanservice, at least they didn't royally fuck it up, and kept to the original and just added on.

If there was ever a BD released in the US, I'd get it and rewatch it <3
