Gurren lagann is a show that could have easily earned a 10/10 from my person but a lot of Little details summed up to bring down the score. It’s pretty hard to explain this without spoiling some parts but I will try my best not to give any spoilers.

Story: 9/10
One word: epic. The story is great the issues are not trivial as other series where you could easily define who is right and wrong; it’s more like a battles between ideologies since everyone thinks there are doing what is best for all.

The story has a humble start: a lonely and poor boy finds a power and decides to use it to archive freedom with the help of his “brother” who inspires him to continue. However, later on the pace starts to speed up until epic proportions (maybe too epic).

He lost the point to 10/10 because the world itself is too unreal. There is not even science fiction on it; they just did what they wanted.

Art: 9/10
Yeah mechas are ugly but that was the point of the artist (or that’s what I want to think). The world itself is like a “joke world” to add extra comedy to the series and the art just fits well for this purpose.

Sound: 9/10
Well music is good but they lack of the heartbreaking song that every show must have to archive de 10/10 in this category. Other than that you will find it enjoyable not a lot to say here.

Characters: 8/10
Development of the characters is good and there is enough diversity of characters that are mostly well done. Then, why 8? Well it Is simple, the way they behave as “society” is not acceptable for me there are times when you will be like “WTF? Why they’re doing that?” also I can’t give such a higher score to a series where absolutely every main character is an idiot (exept for one or two) at least give them other special ability other than “determination”.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Enjoy it as a masterpiece series nothing to say here.

Overall: 9/10
Usually a show lower its score for big problems like boringness or stupidity but this shows lower its score for accumulations of very little things. Overall, it’s a masterpiece with minor mistakes totally epic.

*-minor spoilers here don’t keep reading if you don’t want to be lightly spoiled-*

Ok to finish up I will add little things for the ones who doesn’t care to be lightly spoiled and want to know more about the score. pretty short.

The series is divided on episode 1-15 and episode 17-27 (16 is recap). 1-15 you’ll say: good show! And 17-27 you’ll say: epic!!!!! What is wrong is that 17-27 you realize 1-15 is crap. Also you realize there was an easier route of success but the characters dumbness screw it. Other minor things: the galaxies behave like solid disks, people care more about what they have than their lifes, material just pup up from nothing and others.
