A long winded review is not necessary.
Story: 10
This story is beautiful. It takes you from our young, pitiful protagonist's beginnings, through his emotional triumphs (and downfalls), to his epic finale.
Art: 10
Art ratings can be very subjective. This show is slowly becoming dated but still looks beautiful and striking. The show is incredibly vibrant and seems to attack your eyes with the full brilliance of manly spirit.
Characters: 10
Character development is vital, and pacing can be the death of many shorter length shows. Rest assured, TTGL has fantastic character develop and dynamic personalities. Rated 10 because this show will develop your character :)
Enjoyment: 10
This show is fucking awesome.
Overall: 10
This show is a staple. Not everyone has the same tastes, but in general, you will be doing yourself a massive disservice by not watching this show. Seriously, please watch it. This should go without saying but give it 3 episodes, it will start ramping up in action and plot really fast.
