Like a spiral it ascends, higher and higher, combining simple humor with epic fights and a masculinity that makes no excuses. It doesn't manage to break through the barrier that separates the amazing shows from the masterpieces, but it's definitely there, probing it... with a giant drill.
I never use numbers to grade the shows I watch, but let me tell you this; I've seen a lot over the years, and Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is definitely in my top 10. It's probably even top 5. I fell in love with the show after watching the first episode, and those feelings only grew stronger. The show started at 100% and accelerated all the way past the finish-line. Sporting the best ending of 2007, it was impossible not to love it. Extremely well done Gainax!
