Indeed, I totally second your ranking choice... as far as the Mecca genre goes... my #1 as far as Horror > Hellsing Ultimate ... I believe there are #1s for every genre and I Gurren Langan certanly takes it!

BTW, I am like 3 eps from finishing the series but I am so psyched about knowing that there are 2 movies... OMG Freaking awesome!

I guess I'll have to work on yet another sig

Oh gosh. Finish the series, the ending was the best part of the show.

Movies are Gurren-hen and Lagann-hen. Both movies cover the anime series, but in a condensed version. There are several different new scenes in it though, I won't spoil them, but I liked some parts better in the movie and some better in the anime.

Gurren Lagann is the first Super Robot anime that I got addicted to. As a result, I give it a 9 out of 10.

I still prefer real robots though

So I finished this series a little while a ago, and it was fun series overall.

I enjoyed the series much more after around episode 10 where with Simon, the series matured in theme and characters, and stopped being outright silly, if still ridiculous. My favorite characters throughout the series were Viral, Rossiu, and Kittan, Viral was probly the most entertaining character in part 1, had a awesome theme, and voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama. Rossiu wasn't interesting until after the timeskip, where his conviction was compelling and it made him interesting, a logical character in a illogical world, which he even realized within the series later.

I guess when Kamina died so did alot of the immaturity of the series, which I guess was the make up of his character. He was a entertaining character yes, but a underdeveloped one who we barely got to know, and his death just didn't have the same impact of Kittan's, which was probably the best of the series. Kittan>>Kamina in terms of characterization, death, and development. I felt Kamina became just a plot device to development Simon in the end.

Near the end, I thought it was redundant that they just kept upgrading out of nowhere every episode, and the final battle ignoring the laws of physics completely in every way possible was quite funny.

The animation and style were pleasing to look at, I loved all the homages to Mecha Anime, and anime in general like the Anti-Spiral performing Dio's "Muda Muda" in his own style, the old school explosions from Mazinger Z, or the Autobot and Decepticon symbols during the battles against Lord Genome. The music was also decent, and while I didn't like Row Row Fight Da Powa at first, it grew on me.

I have to say I enjoyed it alot, as a poorman's GaoGaiGar, it was a good series, not quite as good as Gunbuster, Diebuster, or Evangelion, but Gainax never disappoints to make a fun series. For what they were trying to do, this probably would of better been served as a full 50 episode series.

7/10

7/10
Nonono, Kamina > Kittan. When Kamina died, I shed man tears. Kittan's sacrificial death was badass, yet sad, it's safe to say they were very similar characters and made the show great. I thought the whole series from start to finish was great. It brought out the inner child in me the first half, and the inner adult in me the second half. It was like the show started out a child and grew up as the show progressed. Everyone has their own opinions I guess, it's good to get a new post on here every once in a while . I still stand by my 11/10. My favorite anime without a doubt.

In my humble opinion, there's never been an anime beauty like Yoko from Gurren Lagann.

I totally loved the series, humor, ..., and I hope it's going to be released on Blu-Ray some day.

Yeap, sad tho that she ended all alone or at least, she didn't hook up with anyone . I didn't like the part where they showed her like an old lady, I could have done just fine without that scene. Everything else was alright

Yeah same. I was kind of hoping like she would marry Simon later on. I guess not.

Well, Yoko's kind of the girl that has to end up alone because the audience would not like to see her end up with and asshole because most guys are actually scared of really beautiful women and get a feeling of inferiority so most of the times the beautiful girls end up with either those few who are self-assured or with assholes who have some kind of false self-assurance. Well, since things turned out the way they are, ... she had to end up all alone.

There's still potential for a good hentai movie where she hooks up with many guys...
