Tengen Toppa is not about the story. It's not about a logical progression, strategy, conflicts of interests, world building, or even a minimum knowledge of socioeconomic relationships. I usually like smart animes. But Tengen Toppa is about feeling. It is about willpower, about that adrenaline rush and madness that overcomes you as you face an impossible challenge.
Tengen Toppa is excellent at emotionally moving you. They even state, it story doesn't matter, logic doesn't matter, it's all about spirit. And it delivers. With a clever use of angles, bold lines, simplified drawings at times, it delivers on an emotional level. It will move you, fire you up, make you cry, laugh. It will most definitely not intrigue you, or make you race the characters in deductive reasoning as with other animes.
