| WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!!!!!???? |
 |
| What a journey this is. This battle is on multi universes scale lol, poor Simon and Nia |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Ok... why did some characters age so much in 20 years and others didn't Yoko should only be in her 40s. Viral didn't age because he's a Beastman But why is Leeron still young as he was since the first arc? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I thought the first 15 episodes of the series with the battle against Lordgenome and the beast men were amazing but I did not care as much for the back half of the show. My favorite episode of the last 11 was Yoko teaching the children. Boota becoming human for a while made no sense and Nia disappearing make me feel pretty indifferent. Still, it was a fun ride overall. |
| Really sad ending...Simon just married Nia and left. I see another Simon though, nice!! |
| Great episode and anime. I just wish Simon could stay with Nia for a longer time. Overall, it was worth the watch. Row row fight the power! |
 |
| The very last scene where you see Simon come back as an old man was a beautiful and touching ending to the journey we all shared. |

Fighter66 said: GakutoDeathGlare said: lol, how does Kamina have almost 30,000 favourites? I bet if he didn't die so early on and was in the remaining 19 episodes, a lot more people would get tired of him and his never ending high energy. Having a spirited main character die so early, can't believe so many people fell for that and added him to their favs lol.... You didn't understand the point of Kamina Kamina is a person put in complete hopelessness, the very edge of despair. He's not really that "High spirited" by nature. In his heart there is a weight of not going to the surface with his father. A worry of not being "strong enough". BUT he chooses to put on a face IN ORDER TO MOTIVATE OTHERS into doing their best. He himself says it. That's what makes him such a figure. He tries really hard to be an inspiring leader, to show no weakness to anyone, friend or foe. Not even to Simon (SPECIALLY not to Simon), in order to make them rise up and not be kept dfown or disappointed. He has to hold the spirit of the entire team, which of course crumbles when he dies, but EVEN then, they continue out of respect for his legacy. So Erwin Smith deserves atleast 50k right? Very similar character origins btw. Because of everything you mentioned, he does it better. He is humanity's greatest commander. Sinzou wo Sasageyo!! |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| It's finally over. Sadly this was not the type of series that I enjoy. Action is generally the most boring part of anime for me, so this was sleep-inducing most of the time. The only characters I liked were Rossiu, when he displayed some common sense in the first half of the second arc, and Yoko's midriff. I was not invested in the conflict either since I'm not a big fan of the "always be yourself, only believe in yourself"-philosophy. Sadly Trigger seems to always go for this (I know this is technically Gainax but the director of this founded Trigger and in the only other anime by Gainax that I have seen (NGE) this was not present). 3/10 glad it's over I will now happily return to Gundam. |
| Great ending 9/10. Kind of wish Simon ended up with Yoko instead of them both being alone. At least everyone was happy but it was for sure bittersweet as so many people died. Series overall is a life message about not giving into doubt in life. |
| Man this series will forever be one of my all time favorites. Even on a rewatch everything still hits the same as if it was my first time watching. This is probably the most hype episode of anime I've ever watched tbh and I don't think anything will top it. I fucking love Gurren Lagann so much. 10/10 |
 “Without love, it cannot be seen.” |
| It's amazing how this show can be so ignorant/GAR and brainful/intellectual at the same time. The last battle was so epic and climatic that it was teardropping. The bittersweet ending was so unfair for my tastes. The last arc, especially last episodes shout for a 10/10 but the first part wasn't at the same level, still solid tho, and there were some little flaws and things that didn't convince me in general, so I think I will stick with "only" 9/10, maybe a 9,2 if we want to count the decimals. I could give a heartfelt vote and turn this into a 10 anyway, but no, too bittersweet ending. Overall amazing series, at the beginning I didn't understand how this was considered a masterpiece by the majority of the viewers, it felt more like a solid action/shounen-ish mecha anime, even a bit childish because of some villains, but with the last arc it showed successfully the great phylosophy behind the story and became much deeper, more mature while still keeping its badass spirit. I can understand now why it's rated so high, and I agree with it being a top tier anime, 9/10 definitely gives the justice it deserves. |

| i dont get the hype of this show. It took me over 1 year to complete this show (with many breaks). This is my top 1 series where I fell asleep most often while watching. Although I think the idea with the spiral and the deeper meaning behind it is good, it just makes the series veeery predictable. Unbelievable how many "Epic" or "Awesome" comments there were, or "I cry like a baby" because of the death of a supporting character. I dont care any of the deahts. Since I still liked the first episodes and the OP and ED are really good, I give the series 5/10 |
| TTGL Writer: OK its the series finale we need it to be EPIC! But how much more epic can I make this. Oh well here goes. So what if um, we use the physical manifestation of the COSMIC UNIVERSE to defeat the villain. OK great! Done! What show can possibly top this? |
| Oh boy, poor Yoko. She'll remain single :( Anyway, Kamina would be so proud of what his brother did. 9/10. |
 |
| Really good conclusion to a very good anime. 8/10 for the anime. |
| Holy fuck the hype in that fight is insane. The scales are astronomical, just wow. Mechas throwing galaxies at eachother, GODDAMN THAT WAS SO HYPE. The ending is really nice, I cried at a lot of the scenes that were shown. Simon growing old also hit me hard :( I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!! It's definitely one of my favorites now. JUST PURE MACHO OVER THE TOP TESTOSTERONE HYPE. MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

| Awesome ending for a fantastic journey. Too bad Simon didn't get such a happy ending. |
 |
| Pretty decent ending. I wouldn't say I'm fully satisfied with how it ended but this anime as a whole was still really good. They shouldn't have killed Nina, I know why they did that but still :( I like how after so many years Leeron still looks young lol. 3/5 ending, it was ok. Overall I'd rate this anime a 7/10. |

| That was a damn good show. Entertaining and the battles were satisfying. I would have give it a full 10, but because there were so many asspulls I’ll give it a 8.5/10. Not sure why they looked like they aged 60 when they’re probably in 40’s. Rip to the Yoko and Simon shippers though. |

Detector1977 said: I get you, it's like show couldn't decide which way it wants to head. But falls into cliche overused tropes instead.Really an average show for me. It wasn't bad but a bit over the top and not that I love sappy endings but c'mon. Simon loses Nia and more or less dissappears right after. Yuki also kinda does the same. The 2 main characters get no happy ending whatsoever :( 6.5/10 and I'm generous and round up but it wasn't really that good :/ For me the peak was episode 8. Then it follows something very similar to Tri-gun. So yeah 5-6/10 whatever feels adequate. |
 |
| A solid way to end this series, could've added 1 more episode for the aftermath of the battle, but ig it's alright. Imo 8/10 |
 |
| I was skeptical when I started this anime and it was a bit up and down for me for the first 5 episodes but I'm glad I finished it. This goes down as one of the best anime endings of all time and best final episodes(s) along with the ones that preceded it. |
| It took the energy of an entire universe for humans to get their own point across |
| Holy shit, that's a fight on the biggest scale possible. Throwing galaxies left and right, jumping on them and even creating an attack that is on pair with the creation of the universe? This are some next level feats. Anti-Spiral almost managed to grab the Earth itself but Gai-Durran makes the impossible possible and defeated him. That was for sure one of the sickest battles ever. Another time skip on top of a timeskip? Everyone's old while Viral is still young as ever. Simon's out there doing side quests as an old geezer. A beautiful ending nontheless... Well, Gurren Lagann was full of epic and emotional moments. It did take me 3 monhts to watch episode 13-17. Everything after Kamina's death felt a little bit less enjoyable for me. Even though TTGL had a very great cast, their deaths weren't as great but whatever. If Kamina was there till the end, this would be a 10/10 in my book. Simon did grow into a fine man later on, on pair with Kamina. Aside from the characters and story, the animation and soundtrack where phenomenal for a 2007 adaptation. The OST near the end and the insert song were just incredible. It's a 8/10. Sadly, did not enter my favorite list. |

| The Ending was packed with Epicenes. Never have I seen an Anime so well paced with such perfection... this was an experience. "Who the Heck do you think I am!" :D |
