I have never found an anime that I watched so quickly (Madoka Magica probably being a close second.) Heck, I watched the entire last half of the series in one day! What this anime lacks in complexity. It makes up with you wanting to see what happens next, and what ridiculous stunt they'll pull off to get out of a grind. You'll never be bored of this series.


Presentation: 8
Animation wise, this anime isn't exactly a ufotable anime, in fact in some places it's rather choppy. But it really works with the ridiculousness of this. Though not spectacular, the presentation of this series really fits with each situation.

Sound: 9
The soundtrack is AWESOME. From, of course, rap (FIGHT THE POWAH) to more orchestrated pieces. The OST is not only catchy by itself, but really adds to the events in this series. The OP is very good, though neither ED really caught my attention

Characters: 9
One of the reasons Gurren Lagann never got boring is the characters. Each character is original and entertaining. The relationship between Simon and Kamina is heartwarming considering it isn't confirmed whether or not he's his brother or not. (I did learn a new Japanese word from Simon, you can probably guess what it is.) Though many of the side characters aren't really don't get as much development. You really cheer on for all these characters like I did once when I watched this. OUT LOUD

FINAL VERDICT
There's something in this anime for anyone. If you haven't watched it, drop everything, watch from episode one and see how satisfied you are when the final episode closes

9/10
Not a masterpiece, but entertains until the very end

RECOMMENDATION: VERY HIGH
