Every once in a while an anime pops up that leaves you completely speechless. Well, TTGL isn't one of those anime's. No, this one is even greater than those. I can assure you that TTGL will completely blow you away.
TTGL received several achievements in 2007 like best action, best soundtrack and surprise hit and i'll tell you this: It totally deserved it! Though it just missed the price of 'best anime' since Code Geass was the winner in that category. But don't be mislead, i've seen them both and in my personal opinion it's a status quo. Code Geass is a lot more 'serious' than TTGL. The atmosphere is darker, political situations are worked out in depth, even the artwork is a lot more 'mature'.
But this is why TTGL is, pure enjoyment-wise, superior. The art may look childish at first, the characters and storyline may come over as shallow but nothing is less true. As you continue in the story you will notice more than once that you are completely intrigued, sucked in. The characters that looked shallow at first grow and develop throughout the story and you will certainly grow along with them. Every problem they encounter, every tear they shed and every laugh they utter. None of it will leave you untouched. The art isn't an obstacle for that at all, on the contrary. The overload of colours and flux of images contributes greatly to the 'feeling'. Especially during the action and comic scenes you will notice how great the artwork actually is.
'Best action 2007' it said. But still it took me some while to actually begin with TTGL because i'm really against mecha action normally, I had the same with Code Geass. But seriously, don' t let that stop you if you feel the same about mecha. This is mecha on a complete new level, stop thinking gundam 'cause this ain't nothing alike. The mecha action in TTGL is both comical and astoundingly spectacular at the same time!
Of course there has to be some great OST's alongside such a great anime you think? Well, yes indeed there is. Especially during the most critic events in the story the music will grasp your breath while you are still in awe of what is actually happening.
I know this review is very general but i can't go in details without giving spoilers and that's something what i won't do since the surprising plots are one of the main factors which make this anime so great and unique. To finish I just want to remind you guys that this review is completely subjective, so don't come bashing on my profile if you have a bad taste and dislike TTGL. But i promise it won't come to that, trust in my words and just go check out TTGL and you'll find out that this anime has the greatness to pierce through the heavens !!!
