Over my curiosity on the #1 top rated anime, it draws curiosity to try it, since back then mecha anime didn’t turn out well to be a good impression for me but after finishing the first up to the third episode, being judgmental for not being able to know the real meaning of mecha made it wrong.

Story:

The story is somewhat simple it’s about two persons who are willing to fight, to escape and to change their fate for them to feel the presence of true happiness. Looking deeply into it, it doesn’t look simple rather it’s kind of complicated plot. Also the reason you will be totally attached into it is not because of all the mega robot action fighting scenes, animation, and sounds but the real reason behind it is the perseverance and unique attitudes of oneself to another, ‘hard as a rock’. The enjoyment of each episode is highly connected to the main plot but sometimes it doesn’t give enough enjoyment though, a high – mid feature. It has a fast paced and predictable moment to deal with but nevertheless you’ll never say that ‘oh my, I will never continue watching this because I already predict what will happen at the ending’ and ‘eh? That’s it? I want more!’ because you will surely enjoy each episodes even though it ends quickly and by means that you won’t regret anything about it. Most of all Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann must not be ignored though it’s one of a hell best anime series that was made, its story line is bound with awesome scenes, no long monologue to bore with, pure robot action fighting scenes with lots of guts that will surely give you some intense feeling to your nerves.

Art, Animation & Sounds:

The animation and art is not that perfect and appealing but it fits very well in the series. A goofy and cartoon concept type art with screams and commotions on every character is a very well done. Also the reason behind why Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann will draw you from continuing because it has great animation and amazing BG sound. Machine Robot, technologies, upgrades and maybe some other minor details surely give great pleasure to me. The OP and ED are very amazing, on those hardcore and melodic songs, it surely matched and gave such thrill at the beginning and at the ending of each episode.

Characters:

The characters here are such fun to watch although they talk serious matters, but they just are on their own self of being happy and energetic. New entry of individual greatly helps to add some enjoyment to it, every individual has a unique characteristic that appeals so much, and it also helps to avoid boredom and to create a special attraction. The character development is quite impressive to think of. On each episode they’re smoothly developing and as soon it goes on, the growth of every character is getting impressive and constantly growing.

Enjoyment:

Enjoyment is nonexistent but to recommend this… It cannot be explain into words, but maybe if you watch this you’ll finally understand what it meant. Nothing worse about it but if ever it has, maybe it’s only a kind of a bit glitch. Superb story, awesome animation with a goofy and cartoon concept type art, characters full of guts and nothing will be go wrong if there’s a BG sound that will make you stand off onto your seat.

Overall:

Overall, no anime that will be the same level of being cool and awesome of it, since back then when doubting about mecha for some reason made it wrong that this anime is just a waste of time but thinking about now it’s become the opposite of it. Even though it’s predictable and has simple plot elements, for me it’s an awesome anime series. A super mecha action filled anime that will surely excites you up to the end. Now that’s why it’s in the #1 spot because the show will never give you bad impression about it.
