| Yeah, this was terrible all-around. For a series that tries to be so unpredictable and impressive it ends up being dull and foreseeable. I'm glad its over. Barebones character cast, terrible development, bad everything. Episode: 0/5 The whole anime: 0/10 |

| The whole anime, although it didn't quite meet my expectations, looking at how good a reputation it enjoys, was cool, the first 7 episodes weren't particularly interesting, the plot slowly picked up and if it weren't for Kamina's charisma, I probably would have abandoned it, but later on the plot, although still naive and silly, was much more interesting, yes.. we lost Kamina but the MC's development compensated for that (although it was too fast and simple), and Nia, some people were annoyed by her, for me it was the most touching thing in the world (especially her gentle voice) and her character made everything much more enjoyable, it's a shame that there was so little of her later. As for the time jump, the whole politics and artificial drama didn't quite convince me, mainly looking at how naive it all was before, but ok... when we returned to the crazy action, the absurdity of which was multiplied by X10, I started to get excited again, it was great to watch how from the mundane level, it all evolved to the intergalactic level, the anime set the bar higher and higher and it was impossible to get bored xD As for the ending itself... I don't understand why Simon had to leave, what for? I would have preferred Nia to live and break through the ceilings together with Simon. Such a forced bittersweet ending doesn't appeal to me, but overall, as I said, I liked the whole thing and I'm glad I finally caught up with this classic. 7/10 |
| Finally I've watched Gurren Lagann all the way to the end, it's been an awesome ride and I would honestly it's the favourite anime from Gainax for me. But I do have an issue with the finale, it wasn't bad all the way through but I do have a problem with the end scene with Nia mainly because it defeats the whole purpose of the entire show as well as Simon’s characterization. On one hand the ending after the final battle is bad to me but on the other hand, I can't see any other way it could've gone and it honestly doesn't ruin the whole show for me. Gurren Lagann as a whole definitely lives up to the hype. Plenty of high octaned action, stellar visuals, brilliant cast of characters and once again has more than proven itself to be one of my favourites in general. Since it's been amazing all the way through, I give Gurren Lagann a 10/10. |
| I never thought I would have so much fun re-watching this show years later. But I didn't remember the ending being so bittersweet. Didn't they try to somehow adjust or correct this through some additional material? |

| That was one of the best experiences I've had while watching anime. The scene of everyone coming out of their drill with Gurren Lagann in the back was wicked badass. I was in tears throughout the whole episode :') That ending was beautifully devastating. I loved this and will miss it so much!!! |

| Whyyyyyy???? Why couldn't I just get a happy ending between Simon and Nia? Anyway, peak fight, peak animation, peak story, peak characters, ABSOLUTE DRILL! |
| This is the greatest ending in anime history. I'm sad to see Nia go but Simon took it like a champ. It's beautiful to see how much he has grown. And not just him but Yoko, Boonta, and Rosseui. Their fighting spirit and determination no matter what they face is a lesson I hope to carry on into my own life. |
| This is Deepy, Signing off! |
| The word 'cinema' and 'peak' get tossed around a lot nowadays when describing a work that one views on a masterpiece level. But those two words do not even come close to capturing just how damn phenominal this show truly is. Everything about this show: the voice acting, writing, visuals, soundtrack, all of it comes together to create this masterclass work called 'Gurren Lagann'. Absolutely love this show, 10/10. |
