I myself dropped it somewhere at episode 15 or so. I had to force myself to watch first 10 episodes, next for sake of completing, but somewhere I just thought "Fuck it" and watched Nodame Cantabile. I just couldn't find any characters I like, the story didn't really capture me and I'm not a big fan of mecha. |

People are angry that's it at the top of the rest. Simple, it's enjoyable to a extreme extent. Story isn't good in comparison to the rest and neither is the art but face it, that means shit if it makes you jump of your chair shouting, "What the FUCK?!" every five minutes. Also, isn't it easier to rate it a "masterpiece" other than "perfect"? I'm a fan of Death Note and Code Geass but Gurren Lagann takes the hate away from mecha anime and blows a load of manly shit so much that it's hard to breathe. Ok, maybe not so much. Girls are mostly a different case with some research. But hey, you win some you lose some. It's at the top and a robot didn't put it there, people chose it. Perhaps if Code Geass had better mecha battles... uh, nah, it'll still be under. Hate it or love it, it's life. |

deaths don't make an anime... To me, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann had an average soundtrack, good characters, average animation and an average-bad plot, almost dragonballz-ish (protagonists fighting one enemy after another, each more powerful than the last), and had sad sad premises... i mean, their first purpose was to free the world from the one keeping them underground (bettering/saving the world) and they didn't even explain what spiral energy is (at the very least they didn't do it well). For those of you who claim the final fight was "epic", it sucked. The choreography was fail, you could hardly make out any of the movements and it was just pulling out one shounen supermove after another. The reason for its appeal is basically is uniqueness in its approach to conventional scene. Gurren Lagann pretty much aimed for the polar opposite of what can be called "artistic" (and i must say, it was a bold and original approach and worked well for them). Its "unorthodox" robots and ways to merge robots, the character's (almost anti-hero) speeches and personalities had shown great originality as compared to its predecessors, earning its fanaticism. However, i would argue that gurren lagann's uniqueness, personality and characters simply can't drag this anime to the number one position (plot is far too important, at least for me). I believe those that claim this anime to be "epic" or "awesome" are simply blinded by that one charming aspect of it without carefully considering the anime as a whole. There are anime that can be seen as superior in such analysis - e.g. baccano, with superior plot, superior characters, good voice acting, fitting sound effects (but, i must admit, fairly average animation). |

I am in agreement as well, even though I would hesitate to say that Baccano is great enough to qualify as number one. (I have this nagging feeling I read you wrongly though, but nevermind). I'll add this into the discussion: When TTGL hits the spot, it hits it deep. You all know what I'm talking about. The scenes that are done well.. are done spectacularly well, to the extent of (yes) making you jump to the edge of the seat and start yelling. The rest of the stuff.... not so much. I count a total of 4 scenes that "hit the spot" for me, and 6 episodes that I would consider good overall (starting from post-timeskip and ending with the reunion of the cast). The rest... is pretty much mediocre. |

The whole idea that's its like DBZ is plain stupid. If it was like DBZ, each fight would be dragged out to around 10 episodes each. And the fact he said it had an average sound track just completely ruined any proceeding criticism in his post. |

Instead of leaping up with a content-free PA. As it is, dxthegreat said that the plot was DragonBallZ-esque. I don't really agree with that mysel, due to the post-timeskip arc, at least, having far more complexity than any DBZ plot. However => you can certainly see where he's coming from. Pre-timeskip, and after Cast Reunion: the plot is simply about getting bigger and beating enemies with bigger and fancier forms of Super Saiyan/Lagann. The execution may have been different (less padding etc) but the plot is reminiscent of DBZ, no matter how you spin it. And the fact he said it had an average sound track just completely ruined any proceeding criticism in his post. No, not really. |

Also, I don't remember seeing people this defensive in other anime topics here I've been to. You know, if it wasn't ranked #1, then it wouldn't deserve #1. But since it's #1, it deserves it. /end topic In my opinion it doesn't deserve #1. It's enjoyable, but the story is not good... Dont refer to the MAL's top list.... |

Actually, if Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is not popular (Well it certainly isnt YET when I finished watching it by then) and you happened to encounter and watch it without expecting anything, I think a lot of the response wouldn't be like what we have now. Because it is ranked #1 here (even though MAL anime ranking is fairly lolworthy) so everyone is expecting it to be something totally brilliant and out of this world. The reason I still ranked it as one of my top anime (Along with NHK ni Youkoso) is because I still can't find anything that give me such excitement when watching it. Well its too late for those who are exposed to forums comment, critics, etc but for those who jumped into the series without any prior knowledge about what it is all about, you are in for a one exciting over the top rollercoaster ride I see alot comment like , "I've watch until episode etc etc "(as early as episode 1) and they dropped it straight away. I am not the one that can judge how you gonna watch it but for me, why don't lower your expectation and give it a shot. Thats how I find some series that I really like until now even though the starting didnt interest me that much. Lol for me though, TTGL never bored me even once, well maybe episode 5 but thats it. Around ep7-8 all the way till the end, i marathoned it and bam, teh top of my list now =) Just my 2 cent |

When I started Gurren Lagann (before the hype about it), I started off pretty slowly. I liked the passion and all, but I've never been a mecha fan. ...and yet, I ended up giving it a 10. It does have its slow parts (by God, ep 9), but overall it's definitely my favorite series simply because I don't think any other series has moved me as much. Through some of the epic scenes, I could actually feel my adrenaline running. Even now, after I finished the series over a year ago, it's still motivating. Yeah, it doesn't have the best soundtrack (although "Liberame from Hell" is one of my favorite songs, the rest is meh), and it doesn't have the most complicated plot, but the feelings were there for me and so... yeah. |

I dont think its overrated. In my opinion it had only one flaw, and that was not having a PERFECT plot. The love or hate characters, the action, the feeling you got everytime they yelled "Who do you think we are!?" and so on, the animation, the humour, the pace, everything was perfect for me. I enjoyed it so much, I broke my record of episodes watched in a day. (I watched the whole thing the same day. I had vacation, give me a break! :P) I gave it a 9/10, because of what I said above :) |

Overrated. Simple answer. I could not sit through one episode of this series. This was nothing but a re-make of DBZ. Using the same plot and amateur message as a series produced almost 30 years its predecessor proves that this show is just CHILDISH. Just because you cannot appreciate or understand TRUE epic works who are worthy of being called a masterpiece does not make this anime (aimed at the masses) a so called masterpiece. Just as someone had said earlier, once you mature, you will see how stupid you made yourself look by calling this epic. :D Oh, and one more thing: comments saying things like 'this thread should be blown up' should give you an idea of what type of people watch this show: KIDS/ overly immature teenagers. |

I just finished marathoning this series. I also decided to watch it because it was listed #1 on MAL and I'll probably watch the Top 50 eventually. The comedy early on was great, Viral's first fight (blade + mecha) was epic, and Kamina's death was an incredible moment to behold. But in between all of this were a bunch of average episodes. Randomly falling into other villages, being captured in a hot spring, beating up random mechas and saying "Yay, we did it bro!" There's no way I'd give the first arc higher then an 8. All of the beastmen leaders fell to the "Invincible" Gurren Lagann like they do in morning cartoon shows. It was like watching your average episode of Power Rangers. It wasn't until the second arc when you can finally sit down and say "This is getting awesome, time for a marathon!" Your thrown curves left and right. Rivals becoming friends, love interests becoming enemies, humanity finally able to enjoy freedom yet slowly inching closer to its fortold doom. The time slip was really the turning point in the series. It's hard to explain, but I guess I enjoyed it more because the brigade had "matured." None of that "I need to find a reason to live or fight" nonsense. The final battles were also awesome. It's great when characters finally start to die off ( ^ _ ^)v I gave the series an 8 overall. I believe this series is overrated due to the massive amount of 10's it must have received in order to get a 9.0 average. The first half of the series was in no way a "Masterpiece." But who cares if it is overrated. The second arc was excellent and the series overall was great! Glad I watched it (thanks to it being #1). |

For me it was the second arc that was worse, or rather, I would prefer it as a complete separate series (tengen toppa z?), because, in my opinion the 7 year lap just didn't work. Everything changed dramatically, the climate was gone, it was basically a different series. It was too sudden. If it was another series it would work. And I have to say, as far as the ending battle was AWESOME, the ending SUCKED (omg, the epilogue was sooo unnecessary!). So, in the end, I think this series had some very good points, but it is overrated, I gave it a 7 (I was thinking about 8, but I reminded myself the ending and changed it to 7). |

Gurren Lagann is definitely not overrated, it deserves the high ratings without doubt. Many people don't understand that GL is much more than a "over the top" mecha anime, it's also a homage to the last 30 years of Japanese animation, and it isn't as simple as most people think, with strong underlying messages about evolution, dreams, becoming adult, etc. Animation-wise it's also one of the best TV anime so far, GL breakes the boundaries of the limited Japanimation and sets new standards. Certainly it isn't the revolution which Eva was thirteen years ago, but GL is a masterpiece and milestone in anime history and among the top 5 TV anime of this decade. |

I admit I voted yes, but then again, we're all too stupid to even consider we give fair ratings and opinions. And the ratings here (well, almost everywhere) merely express one's personal enjoyment, no matter what kind of pretty words they use to reason it. Excuse me for generalizing, but seeing so many people's reasonings to think this is the best thing ever, I think most of this show's fans are "raw enjoyers". Also, I highly doubt that many people, especially on the internet, are credible enough to talk about this show's animation, directing, production, and so on, as superior compared to other shows, action-oriented or not, with as little bias as possible. Sorry if this was kinda redundant. sHsIkuA said: Actually, if Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is not popular (Well it certainly isnt YET when I finished watching it by then) and you happened to encounter and watch it without expecting anything, I think a lot of the response wouldn't be like what we have now.

This applies for both haters and lovers. Just as people may watch it with extremely high expectations and end up hating it, some may watch it, like it as much as/for the same reasons they liked, lets say, DBZ, Bleach, Naruto (not criticizing these in any way, just examples of action-oriented shows, just like this one), but give this more credit than it deserves because of its good rating all over the internet. |

Well, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann came out #1 after taking into consideration all the scores given by the members of MyAnimeList. With this, it would be difficult to say that it is highly overrated wouldn't it? I think how good an anime is depends on how enjoyable it is. TTGL is definitely as enjoyable as Code Geass R2 and many other fantastic animes. Jigero said: kabuto_00 said: Overrated. Simple answer. I could not sit through one episode of this series.

I have seen episodes 1 and 2 so far, and while it is enjoyable, I am not yet convinced that it's anything other than a wacky male-oriented anime series. I am told it gets really good later on, but so far it's just likeable characters in a nonsensical scenario. But I suppose that is the appeal. Immediately I thought of FLCL, which I have to say, so far at least, I prefer. |

Anyway I guess most people rate an anime by how much they had enjoyed it rather than the animation or sound quality. I think one example is Lucky Star. The animation is definitely not eye-catching but nonetheless I did enjoy the anime and so did many others. That's why it's rating is 8.45 in MyAnimeList. There will always be 2 sides when it comes to whether an anime is the best. Since Gurren Lagann had caught the most attention and had been given so many high ratings, it deserves to be #1 for now. If other equally good or better animes gain popularity over time and get good ratings, we might see Gurren Lagann being pulled down in time to come. chrislongden3 said: I think it is a really good anime, but I would also agree that it is somewhat overrated.

I've seen quite a number of popular animes (not a lot!) and I thought Gurren Lagann is by far the best or at least on par with other animes like Code Geass. |

It's nothing to do with the process in which this rating is obtained. |

This is the only anime which I've watched twice. It's great because it started well and ended well, unlike 99% of anime out there (FMA, Gantz, Berserk etc... to name a few - which were really good, then the ending just killed it). |

Honestly, I don't think it's overrated. I have had a mixed experience with this show, the first episode bored me, but I saw episode 12-something and it was mildly entertaining. I have a slight bias against this show for the reason I have a friend IRL who keeps shoving this down my throat as the "BEST ANIME EVAR LOLOMGLOL". |

IMO, not over rated. I feel that it was all about passion/belief and did really well. |

TTGL is overrated there are too many unaswered qustions...the story is weak (shows at the end of the series) and the charecters arent deep enough it dosent deserve to be the top anime..not in a million years the show would be much better if the ending filled in the gaps instead of making them bigger |
