| I wanna marry Nia!!! Only a couple of words put together could possibly describe how I felt: TOTALLY FRICKIN FANTASTICAL ***** AWESOME. 10/10 |
| Not really over-rated. maybe you missed out on it, but so far from what I can see people felt the same way as me. While I watched it I felt excitement and all that kind of stuff beyond how I've felt before etc. Plus chucking galaxies at each other is cool. XD Melancholic end, but appropriate. Nia ='(. Very happy with the ending. XD |
 |
| Utterly perfect...... Only thing to wait for now is the OST and the DS game..........ahhhh joys. |

Kyocool said: Ive read several 10/10 and a couple..."It's the best anime ever" I'd say thats touted as overrated. I actually finished the series the other day. Its a very solid 7 nothing more. Seriously i could go on for pages with prime examples on why this show should never received a 10/10 But to each their own i suppose Trevor (OP) PERHAPS THE SAME COULD BE SAID OF ALL ANIME~ |

Its called an opinion. I'm perfectly aware not everyone has the same taste. But a good 90% of the viewers claim this show to be 10/10 material. And I do believe that says something. |

| Kyo, mulder. Not in here please, share that by each other's PM. I loved it, just the Nia & Episode 1's Intro :'(..... PS: Does anyone know where or even when the OST of GL is ever coming out? >_>; *can't find that "fight dah powah"(whatever you call it) D:!!!! |

| Great show. It was definitely an amazing and epic ride. I don't know about you, but the fact that they killed of Kamina was a double-edged sword. While the fact that they did was definitely totally unexpected and a great twist, in doing so, they killed of their most creative, hilarious, best character of the show. I found the first 9 episodes or so (when he was alive) to be much more entertaining then the second half when Kamina wasn't around. After awhile, you got the sense that Simon seemed way too powerful for anyone to have a threat upon him. But the battles nevertheless, were epic in their own right. And what the hell? What that Anti-spiral guy throwing galaxies around as weapons? Wtf? Haha. Oh, btw, the characters in the 20-year time jump looked ugly as hell. They all looked like they were in their 50s. I mean, they all should be around mid-30's - they won't look THAT old. And nooooooooooooooooo - why did Yoko have to get old too!? *Tear* Final rating - 8/10 |
| Yoko is a MILF. |
| Nice, very nice to put it simply. The series as a whole was highly enjoyable. There was ups and there was down but that comes with any anime. One of the thing that Gurren Lagann did extremely well is pacing. It hardly lingered around a certain point for too long while having something to kick it up a notch. In the end, the beginning seem like a distant memory. Along with that and other things like being highly re-watchable, it gets a 10 from me or a the very least a very high 9 point something. Its re-watchable to the point that I can compare to how I rewatched Dragon Ball Z back in the day. And to the debate of either this deserve a 10 or not is moot to me since I see two ways to get a ten. One is like how I described it above with Gurren Laggann and the other is like how Mushishi pulled it off. Both completely different anime but still manage to pulla 10/10 from me. Meh. |
| Great series and episode, too bad Nia's gone though =[. I enjoyed it very much anyways :D |
| Ah that was a great run. |

| I'm just wondering how they managed to cram all of Nia's hair into that bun >.<. Definitely a 10/10 non-over-rated series of the true meaning of EPIC. |
| I get the feeling alot of people here don't know what overrated means. Overrated is when alot of people say that something's really great, when they in fact haven't seen alot of other animes/whatever and don't really have much to base that opinion on in reality. However, I think most people browsing this forum (actually most people who frequent mal) have seen alot of animes, which would make the statement that this is overrated moot. This is alot of peoples honest opinion after having seen alot of different animes, deal with it :P. |
 Thanks De-Jay for my claim picture : ). |

 |
| One of the best EPIC anime ever Thanks Gainax |
  |
| Pure golden GAR, this is for sure one of my favourite series. oh and btw about ep 1 opening afaik it was just a tribute to the intro of Capitain Harlock's Arcadia of my Youth... not 100% sure, but it should be. |
| Needs to fix this sometime but I'm lazy - since 11/05/2009 |
| Definitely the best series of the year. |
 |
| omg... i.. im gonna miss is so F***in much!!! Its one of the best BEST BEST freaking anime i have ever seen!!!! T___T respect to gurren lagann!!! That ending was... so so so soooo awesome. I just dont know what to say! (who the hell didnt like the ending O_o) |
     |
| I just finished watching this series... what can I say? I loved every bit of it. right now.. TTGL is my favourite series. |
 |
| Holy freaking God. I'm absolutely blown away by this show. Most epic thing I have ever seen. Freaking incredible. |

DeViLZaBuZa said: some anime shows this season were epic (seto no hanayome) but gurrenn lagann.... i know its naive and foolish to wish for more and ruin a beautiful ending but animes of total gayness like naruto are at like 250 where so many shows are left at 52 or 26(probably why they are so good ) at this point i dont care i want more and i seriously want more ive like never had any problem when it came to real life but now gurren lagann is everywhere in my head consuming all other meaningless thoughts. LIKE CMON it was genious episode one was a quick scene of the future then it starts off to such a small concept like a small under ground village and BAM 27 is like INTER uber nubscause galaxy war attack rawr rawr i love you gurren lagann :'( yeah it's awesome, but to get around this, start watching different anime, like, other short series, not like naruto which reeks of mediocrity :( generally i find that watching say 6 26eps anime is much better than watching 1 150ep anime.. >.< |
| watched 16-27 last week,finally picking it up again, what can i say ? you all love it heh me; well it was a good one, can't deny that that, bit incredible at times though =P |
| Very satisfying conclusion. I applaud GAINAX for not screwing things up for once when it comes to a finale. |
| The show was beautiful the whole way through and never dissapointed = TENGEN TOPPA GURREN-LAGANN!!!! |
 |
| Two people have voted hated it! Ehhh?! I'm putting those down to misclicks, surely! |
     |
| I voted I hated it. It's everything Gainax, put in a blender, and I don't like Gainax. Cliches and caricatures everywhere. Ecchi. Action worthy of Saturday morning cartoons. Well, I just can't enjoy a show without at least a modicum of intelligence in it. I'm annoyed because I kept watching it even though I didn't like it because of all you folks telling me how great it was. |
| It was ok, but I didn't like the battle "I throw galaxy at you!!'' <-WTF HE THROWED A FUCKING GALAXY AT ME?!?#!?!"#?"!¤#! How the hell he even can touch the fucking galaxy :S And this stupid my power is bigger than yours laser battle. :( From the point of where Kamina died the show has been so fucking boring and stupid, these new stupid looking star costumes (what they got from few episodes ago) crowned the whole shit. Well okay, this beats easily DBZ and My-Otome but there is still so much stuff I don't, like example if there would have no Nia and more comedy it would have been a lot better. :S |
| Well, I'd agree with you if by comedy you mean things like the first time Gurren-Lagann "combined." |

You're clearly oversimplifying the show's narrative construction, an element that went beyond the usual degree in animation to a level of satisfying symbolic progress and good storytelling. It's really a show that despite not being perfect manages to transcend the medium and becomes worthy of literary analysis. And yes, I'm willing to debate this if I must. As for the final battle, it's mostly a conjunction of far-fetched quantum pseudo-science, figurative experimentation and creative animation... probably my favorite sequence out of the entire series. |
