Overall: The heart and passion of this anime are the characters and the music. One of the great amines I have seen because of its energy that flows throughout the episodes. . I‘ve seen Gankutsuou, Romeo X Juliet, FMA, FMP (all of it), Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Ef memories, FSN, DN, and others. None of these anime have the same power to hit me as TTGL. This show isn’t perfect, but then again nothing is. I hope this anime will drill into your heart as it did with me, then you too will be cheering with everyone around the world, Row Row Fight DA

Power!!!!!! And if it doesn’t, well then you can just suck it :P.
Story: 9 The story was simple and yet so great due the music and the characters. Simon has a wall in front of him being told its unbreakable, chances are 0%. He, however, has an adopted older brother, Kamina The Great, who gives Simon the will power to do the impossible. Don’t wanna spoil it for you! By now you should have watched it!
The way I see it, you can watch it several ways. Kind of like eating an orange. There are many ways you can eat it. You can eat the whole orange or you can peel it and its sweet center.
Option A: Watch all of it. ISBIO (it should be intuitively obvious) -_-.
Option B: Watch 1,2,3,7,8,9,10,11, 14, 15, 16-27. This is pretty much the heart of the anime. This option is like the spark notes version. I did the peeling for you ;).
Option C: Watch it backwards :D. I don’t know. Its your choice on how you like to watch anime.
I would highly recommend option A, but if for some reason don’t have time. Option B would be second.
Animation:8 To be honest, some of the scenes look like scribbles. It is a pretty decent animation better than my stick figures :D. The vibrant colors and scenery in some episodes are astounding.
Sound: 10 As I am writing this review, I am listening to “Libera Me” From Hell from the TTGL OST soundtrack . The music was well thought out and gave additional energy and spirit to the scenes. It would be impossible to watch without it.
Character :10. The most important reason that makes this anime so awesome. The characters are shway with their gravity defying sun glasses ;). Sympathy for the characters run though a lot in my mind for being the underdog and learn to understand what the higher power’s reasoning. The first episode lured me with Simon and Kamina. Both complement each other. Kamina is a god with his alluring red sun glasses and his diction.
Enjoyment: 10. This anime was thrill ride for me. I don’t see any reason not to enjoy it. It has a high replay value especially couple episodes.
