If I could make my review one word, it would be EPIC

Story: I have really enjoyed the story of Gurren Lagann, I love how it starts in a relatively small scale and it escalated into a conflict to decide the fate of the entire universe, I'm not gonna lie there were times where I thought of DBZ for some reason but this show is really different and it has an amazing way of delivering it. A lot of the episodes in this show felt like last episodes and when a show is able to deliver episodes of such quality you know you are in for the ride of your life. The story of this show deserves nothing but pure 10/10.

Art: I was really drawn by the bright colours and easy going animation that Gurren Lagann had, for some reason the animation kinda reminded me of Digimon and the whole goggled main child protagonist scene so it felt nostalgic at first. The many explosions, attacks, beams, were all really cool and really awesome to watch. This show really knows how to keep a good quality in animation despite all the chaos going on.

Sound: The soundtrack for this show is one of the best I've heard, in many other of my reviews I have mentioned I dont really pay much attention to the BG sounds but in this case their songs were so perfect for the moment and so epic that I just couldn't help but listen to it and think "wow this is just awesome", with many types of insert songs and epic battle music this show gets perfect score for their music.

Character: Gurren Lagann had A LOT of characters but in reality you dont really care much about any of them except the main characters like Simon, Kamina, Yoko, Nia, and yes I'll even add Viral too. Kamina was just LOL to listen to, but IMO the best developed character in this whole show was Viral, he stats off as a villain assassin but through the events of the series he is in the end destined to fight with those who have humiliated him for so long. Simon is also a very good character since he starts off as a coward of sorts but develops into a courageous fighter in the end, I usually dont like characters that are all 100% justice will prevail but in this case they really did a great job on him as well.

Enjoyment: I cannot express how much I've enjoyed watching this show, it was so good I still watch it now when I have nothing else to do. Gurren Lagann is deifnitely of my top 5 shows and will proably stay there for a long time to come.

Overall this show is something that everyone who enjoys their action MUST DEFINITELY watch, it's an adrenaline rush since episode 1 and it's definitely one of the best animes you can watch out there
