It's hard to say too much about this anime without giving away parts of the story, so I'll just tell you the most important thing, this anime is perhaps the most epic thing ever created. Period.
Story-10
Gurren Lagann's story is a thing of beauty. This is a story that would be entertaining in any form, any form at all. It's just a huge bonus that someone decided to turn it into an anime. The plot has everything: action, humor, romance, grief, mechas, hot anime girls, super-manly men, and super epicness. It also has some of the best dialogue that I've ever heard. Trust me, you will be quoting from this show.
Art-10
The art for this show can seem pretty crazy at times. There's speed lines and distortions everywhere, but the style really fits the story and adds to the feeling of out of control action. I loved the character designs and the mechs looked amazing. This show is a real eye pleaser.
Sound-10
Ok, sound is not something I really pay too much attention to when I watch anime. Aside from the opening and ending songs I'm usually to engrossed by the show to worry about sound effects and the like. However, Gurren Lagann really made me sit up and listen. The opening and ending songs are the same through the whole series, which is pretty rare for a 27 episode production. Both songs are great, but what really caught my attention were the in-show songs, for the characters and for the background music during important moments. This is an anime that you definitely want to really listen to.
Character-10
This is probably the area where Gurren Lagann shines the most. While some of the characters are over the top and there are even some that I downright abhor, for the most part the members of team Gurren are an inspiring bunch of people. The show really does a great job of showing the development and relationships of the characters. The main character especially undergoes an amazing amount of character development. It should be almost impossible to not like at least one character in this show.
Enjoyment-10
Obviously I really loved the show. Gurren Lagann had me shivering with excitement almost the entire time. The pure epicness of this show forced me to come write a review about it as soon as I finished it, just to get down all the intense feelings that were felt as I watched it. Unfortunately it's hard for me to convey how amazing this anime is. Needless to say, if you haven't seen it you should go watch it immediately. Like now.
