| some animes are better left untouched as the awe of their once brilliant existence is polluted by "attempts" of greed |
| Hide behind the mighty wall of internet, i shall |
| Just finished. I don't know what to say. I'm really sad for Simon, he deserved a better end, when Nia started disappearing I felt like crying. Great series, the ending could have been better though ;_; |

| Who the hell do you think I am? |
 |
| Wow, One hell of a amazing show. |
| Finally finished the second half after watching the first half maybe as long as a year ago. Poor yoko another loved one to die in battle. The romance was completely unneeded imo, it would have been fine if she had remained hung up on Kamina. The members of the brigade dont need a reason to fight the way they fight especially at that point in the series, they just do. It just felt random and half assed. Considering all the stuff between Simon and Nia it would have felt cheap if she had picked up the ring and the two of them got together (part of me still wanted them to) and that would have been her third romance so it would have been like they were passing her around. I felt sorry for Simon, after all that Nia 'died' anyway. I didnt like how he just left and became a wanderer. If my wife died Id need my friends more then ever. I would have liked to see him go on to help the military or go back into politics or help yoko with her Island school |

| Wow, that was beyond epic! Everything progressed so amazingly. I can definitely say, this anime has moved me. GURREN LAGANN FTW! |
| Speechless... only word that comes to mind. Q.Q |

| Beyond epic anime despite being 5 years old. Hoping for something like this in the near future. |
| Wow awesome ending! The way they beat that anti-spiral dude was pretty sick I must admit, and Nia disappearing at the end was also a nice touch to the end as well! (not that I hated her but it added a nice element to the ending) xD |
 |
| wow, great last episode, i enjoyed this series on a bunch of different levels, and for different reasons, going to have to be a 9 out of 10 only because near the end i just wanted the fighting to stop, i am still a bit sad about Nia :( |
| I really don't understand this anime's popularity. I know I'm in the minority in this, but I thought this series was awful. |
| Well, I'll be. That was a great series. Even after 5 years. Just finished watching it and am now waiting for the "post-series glow" to dissipate, but it was definitely worth a solid 9 at the least. The pacing was great and something many animes get wrong, but if I did have a small complaint, it would probably be the AMOUNT of action. There are times there was just too much happening at any one time, but this is also one of the reasons I loved it. Hell, it's a conundrum. Shame that Nia had to go, but understandable. Great to see an epilogue too, good job by Gainax and also it removes the "2ND SERIES NNNOOOWWW!" calls. I'll rewatch it again one day, and I don't do that with many series but this was fun, bittersweet at times and just overall great. |
 |
| Wow... Great finale to an awesome series. Gurren Lagann has all of your badassery and epicness... ALL OF IT! |
| Here I was, hoping for a happy ending, but oh well - it was bound to end the way it did. Felt sorry for Simon - after all he did, he was pretty much forgotten by everybody except his old friends. Nia... what happened to her was probably the saddest part of this episode. As for the series as a whole - it was a good watch. Not a 10 from me, but a strong 9. It's amazing how all those ass-pulls didn't bother at all. In the final episode the proportions went completely wrong though - Simon used Lagann to destroy the Anti-Spiral monster, which means that his Lagann suddenly grew to the galactic size. Still, it was good. |
| For me, I didn't like the ending....Well the last 7mins to be precise. The death of Nia was sad but the fact that they knew about it made it less painful. What was painful though was the fact that Simon and Yoko didn't get together in the end or even meet each other since Simon's departure. What I was hoping for was maybe a Simon x Yoko ending (maybe a few years afterwards or a few months) or the fact that they became very close friends and Simon lived with her in the island, helping her to teach little children. However, the lonely old Yoko sensei thing is just heartbreaking and the phrase, "I am nobody" from Simon just makes it even worse. It just gives me the impression that even though they were friends or even close friends during the war, they didn't get to see each other again and became ALONE. BUT OH WELL....The anime itself, excluding the ending, is amazing. |

| EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC IJOU |
 |
| o_O their mechas were galaxy sized. Damn. just... damn... This is probably the most over-the-top epic anime I've ever had the pleasure of watching. |
     |
| Awesome anime! 10/10, everything was just perfect about it! |
| he ended up being a nothing... to bad. i was expecting more of this ending.. a more ''happy'' ending to be honest but i loved it! 20/10! |
 nyan-nyan-nyan-nyan Forever! |
| hah, didn't expect it to be this good. |
| Holy $h!t! Epic! Right when I was thinking, "How could there possibly be an anime out there that is better than any in my top 10!" Gurren Laggan takes the #5 spot! |

| I'm not a huge fan of this last episode. How thier voices and facial structure had changed when they showed the future just seemed really stupid to me. Also how Simon ended up was pretty sad. I sorta wish they just left that out. Plus wtf was up with Leeron? He looked and sounded exactly the same.. >.> Overall, though. I loved this series! It was quite epic. To tell the truth.. I actually started this series in september of 2011. When Kamina died I was almost heart broken.. ;_; I couldn't see how they could possibly keep this series interesting without him. He was like the backbone! I couldn't watch it after that.. Not until a friend told me to finish it a few days ago :<. They managed, I suppose, it was probably necessary to kill him off.. but still.. I disliked Simon as a kid. So I thought it would suck but he was much better as an adult. I was happy to see Viral all involved too. He was my second fav male character. Second to Kamina, of course! I also really liked Yoko. I felt so bad for her when she finally was able to open her heart up for another man, Kittan, and then he goes and dies immediately after. That was sorta shitty. Plus all the other people that died. >_>' Still.. I really loved it lol. I'm glad they showed Kamina at the end too. R.I.P. Kamina!! We will always remember you! Overall, I gave this series an 8/10. Oh.. My new favorite thing to say~ Ore ga dareda to omotte yagaru!?(:3) Hoping the movies have Kamina~ness. |

| Wow this show really left strong impression in me, it must really suck to be one of those who haven't seen this to the end. |
| I almost cried for Simon in the end and i am grown a$$ man. |
| A fitting end for an epic anime. There were so many symbolic depictions of despair, rage, hope, faith, sadness and happiness that my mind was simply blown. But if I do have to pick one scene that left an impression, it'd be: To all haters of Rossiu, haters of how Simon and Yoko ended up, haters of the deaths of Nia and the Dai-Gurren members: I can only hope that age and experience will change the maturity of your opinions if you ever watch this series again. |
 |
| Oh man what an epic final episode! It was so beautiful but also sad especially when Nia disappeared :'( Damn this Anime is really a masterpiece 10/10 For me it's now up to the movies :D |
 |
| Well i remember episode 7 (proably). Yoko kisses Kamina, when Simon was watching them. That really touched me i felt so sorry to that boy. I was hoping i will see Yoko and Simon 2gether. But he lost feelings to her, well i guess it ended as it is should end. :) |
| Re-watched this episode after about a year, and I still felt all the same emotions as the first time. Such a beautiful series overall, a bittersweet end but fitting. |

| Dammit, such an awesome series, its always hard for me to move on to other shows after such epicness... And argh, i hate time skips... makes the whole thing much more sad, and i still cant get over Kamina's death...and to think that basically he is the one who started it all by pushing Simon... ARGHHH  |

| It's a happy ending for the new generation. ... Simon and Yoko certainly deserve more! But I guess it cannot help... |

| Dat moment, when they all screamed "TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN!" |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| Surprisingly meh ending for an anime that started off pretty nicely. I appreciate the closure, but it was poorly done. Simon becoming a wanderer just felt unnatural and kinda forced. You don't just turn your back at humanity after you've just managed to give them hope for a future. |
| woow.. that was just... beautiful.. a very very nice final episode, the battle was epic and the finishing move from tengen toppa gurren lagann down to just lagann was really nice :D but i really had to laugh at simon's "humanity isn't that stupid".. if only that would be true :/ very beautiful wedding, but sooo sad to see nia disappear right after it :/ now yoko and simon stay virgins until they die since i doubt they would do it with anyone else :o haha, yes that's the most important point :P well, in my opinion simon and yoko could at least have lived together (even if only as friends) but staying without anyone really dear is really cruel :( (yoko's students don't count of course) but in the end it was a really great show that was really enjoyable, definitely one of my favourites (yoko too <3) |
| Man that was a beautiful ending!! Manly tears were shed ;_; And that's coming right off the most epic fight scene i've ever witnessed in any anime!! (At least concerning giant mech-things) Definitely a perfect end to a fantastic series! (Hopefully no sequel will be made to screw it up xD) |

Thank you Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for changing my outlook on life. I feel this man, I feel this... |
