Overall, which anime do you think overall is better? My friend and I were debating which anime series is more fun to watch, so please vote in the poll.

P.S. If this is the wrong section, please move it, thanks.

Kaioshin Sama · 2008-04-14, 15:18

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann by default since I don't even consider Claymore at all exciting let alone in contention with Gurren-Lagann.

kayos · 2008-04-14, 17:07

Overall would be Claymore. Excellent story, plot, characters and visual. The only problem with Claymore is that it didn't stay true to the manga (couple of last eps).

TTGL is great but without it's visual/style, it'll just be another mecha/scifi anime. Not a big fan on mecha...

DragoonKain3 · 2008-04-14, 17:19

TTGL for me, just on the count that romance is a big part of the storyline.

Of course, that's putting aside the Over9000! feeling, the epic mecha battles, and the manliest men to grace the small screen, ever.

Yeah, much more interesting than seeing chicks duking it out. Of course, the yuri undertones had nothing to do with it, I swear!

qtipbrit · 2008-04-14, 17:57

Well, I personally haven't seen Claymore so I can't really vote on the poll, but I'll tell you that Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann will not disappoint.
Romance is also a central part of the story as DK3 said, so if you're looking for something with a bit more than pure action, go for Gurren Lagann.

KholdStare · 2008-04-14, 17:59

The reason I like Claymore so much is because it has many touching scenes and an excellent arc (Teresa's arc, duh), and even though it might have faltered at the end, it was a good ride.

This is a SUGGESTION SECTION

Not some of this lame debate, not here but on other section that is appropriate for this thread.

Not harsh but stating my opinion

What are you talking about? Let me summarize the posts for you if you're not understanding them:

Kaioshin_Sama stated that he/she prefers TTGL over Claymore.
kayos stated that he/she prefers Claymore over TTGL.
DragoonKain3 stated that he/she prefers TTGL.
qtipbrit92 have not seen Claymore but recommends TTGL.
KholdStare have not seen TTGL but recommends Claymore.

If you're asking for why this thread was created here, it wasn't. It was moved to the Suggestions forum because after the "debates," the OP will what whichever with the most votes, or at least I'm assuming so.

AuditionEX · 2008-04-14, 20:11

^ Move here? If that's the case , it's fine for me. I have some doubts but nevermind..

I say TTGL over Claymore. Epic > Non-epic.

Lanner Falcon · 2008-04-14, 20:15

Having seen both… I say Gurren Lagann. The story is original (anyone who's watched would know), its characters are realistic, and its human worth is greater.

Claymore has good graphics, and a "lifelike" feel at times, but I will never consider it more than "decent"

r0cawearz · 2008-04-14, 20:30

Seen both, definitely Gurren Lagann. It took a different approach, whereas Claymore was all OMG NARUTO POWERUP!!!!. Next episode of Claymore? KILL MORE MONSTERS POWER UP!!!!

I enjoyed Claymore, but mainly because all the action kept me watching, but so did Gurren Lagann. However, TTGL had more than just action, blood and monsters. I especially liked the ending, whereas claymore was a bit dull. It was quite predictable what would happen next, but TTGL was nowhere near that and like I said, took a different approach.

Blue flame · 2008-04-14, 20:34

im a bit bias but hey its my opinion, i only choose tengen toppa over claymore just because i got attached to the main charcaters and its very original, claymore is good just not as good as good s ttgl

qtipbrit · 2008-04-14, 21:30

Honestly, now that I think about it, why would there be a "neither" option?
Isn't that just for trolls who don't like either anime and want to make it known?

I find that when two things are compared, it's hard for neither to be better than the other, and in which case, an option such as "equal" would have been better.

Still standing behind Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for reasons stated above + Yoko.

I don't know whether or not I should cast my vote for TTGL right now to create the epic 50-50 from which a more epic anime would have an advantage due to the epicness of the epic situation. Epic, isn't it?

And you're fine Blue flame.
I find that opinion is usually based on bias anyway.

james0246 · 2008-04-14, 22:19

Gurren Lagann = Gainax getting back to what made Gainax so good.

Claymore = standard 'creepy' Madhouse anime (Blood + anyone).

So, of course, Gurren Lagann wins

.

Akeval · 2008-04-14, 22:23

i don't see how you could compare the two, i liked the darker feel to claymore, TTGL really sucked for me, it hits a real boring spot midway. Also it just seemed like a typical mecha series... didn't really peak my interests.

FuzzyWuzzy · 2008-04-14, 22:38

Spoiler for Immense SPOILER for Gurren-Lagann!!:

Claymore is good but is quickly ruined by that crying pansy male side kick.

But I really don't know which one is better since I watched them both at the same time.

KholdStare · 2008-04-14, 22:41

Hey, can you please put that into spoilers, preferably now? Luckily, I have already read that spoiler from some time ago.

Never mind, it doesn't look like you're here, so I'll just do other things instead.

Wow, are you f*cking serious with that spoiler?

Chikaru sama · 2008-04-15, 03:53

I enjoy Claymore because make u want to know wat happen next with every eps =] TTGL is great aswell but i like Claymore more XD

Viperx · 2008-04-15, 07:56

Seems like two questions, best overall and most fun to watch.
Have just seen one episode of Tengen-toppa, compairing it to Caymore seems a bit silly.

Overall I vote for Claymore being better, but Tengen-toppa migth be more fun to watch.
