Story: There are only two complaints in this section. The first one is how ridiculous the plot is. WHo would ever expect a miner who hasn't even seen the surface of the Earth to be the hero of the entire universe? The second complaint is the pacing. The very first episode, in the very first 5 episodes, the protagonist is able to create a whole army against an enemy that he only met about a week before making the army. Gee, that's kinda fast. However, even though I have two complaints, the series still works. The plot is so ridiculous, it actually makes it better. Who would want to see two series with the same plot? Also, the pacing cuts out a lot of unnecessary scenes or just boring scenes. So, even though I have complaints about the story, its still used in a good way
Art: Unique. That's the only way to describe it. The artwork is colorful and the environments, are beautiful to look at. Also the design for Gurren Lagann was pretty sweet. Enough said, moving on.
Sound: The theme song is great. The voice acting is great with the exception of one character, Nia( she doesn't even sound like a girl. She sounds like a man trying to sound like a girl.) Arguably, the best voice actor of the series is Viral, which many of you might know him as Ikkaku in Bleach. Both Ikkaku and Viral have the same personality and therefore the director chose a wise decision to put the voice of Ikkaku on.
Character: Every character in this series from the first time you meet them, you fall in love with. Each character has a different mind and personality so that each fo them will be memorable. Even Nia, whose voice I couldn't stand, as much as I disliked her, I did enjoy seeing her playing a major role in the second half of the series.
Overall: If you aren't hyped up or if you are bored after seeing one episode of this series, you need to be slapped. From start to finish, this series kept me wanting another episode to watch after finishing the previous one. The art is great, the voice acting is top-notch, the characters are memorable, and even though it was ridiculous, the story was awesome. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann by all means should be watched by any anime fan out their. There is no one I know of that shouldn't see this series.
Overall:9/10
