Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan was an interesting anime, to say the least. It had its good moments and bad moments. Overall I was able to finish it, but it took a lot longer then expected, and at times it was crap.
"Kick logic out and make the impossible possible"
That is the motto for team Gurren, and is certainly an understatement given what they end up doing.
I have to say, for those like me, who focus more on story and character development, it was rather satisfying in those areas, however I disliked the unrealistic components and lack of logic behind almost every decision/out come in every battle.
Story: 5
It had ups and downs, some absolutely brilliantly written and thought out episodes, and then some crappy doesn't make any sense episodes. I prefer animes where logic actually matters and what happens sorta makes sense, rather then beyond beyond the impossible.
In fact: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeyondTheImpossible
gives reference to it as the only anime to go beyond beyond the impossible.
Art: 2
Last time I checked, this was aired in 2007, not 1992. If I am wrong and it was made in 1992, notify me so I can raise this to a 4, for being on par with its time. Given that his anime has nothing but cheesy battle scenes, art is rather needed.
Sound: 6
fairly good sound track.
Characters:
Kamina for his actions in the first 7 episodes and Rossiu for his actions in episode 19 and 20, put them on the list of greatest characters of all time.
Enjoyment: 3
3 times while watching it, I put it down for a week, and if it wasn't for my friend pushing me to finish it, I doubt I would have. I like animes that don't have to many unrealistic events, and when unrealistic events come up, characters don't spout **** to explain how they are possible, when they clearly aren't. Its not entertaining to watch the same event happen over and over again, and I dropped Bleach for the same reason that I didn't like this anime.
Overall: 5
It was a mediocre anime and I don't understand why its so popular and highly ranked.
