Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ~ WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann review
This 27 episode long anime, made in 07-08 really stood out to me when I looked at a couple of summaries for animes. The storyline and everything. It just..was so vivid.
The anime had a rocky start to it, but when really smooth after the beginning. This anime is Mecha, so it involves Robots and stuff, it has some mild ecchi, but no worries. ;3
Art/Animation
The art and animation is BEAUTIFUL, some flaws here and there but it's good enough to say it's Jaw dropping. It's so colorful, vibrant and just stands out from animes like Naruto and Bleach, some of the whored animes out there.
I love the creativity put into the actually things like Kamina's awesome glasses and the Ganmen combination. It's so fun to look at and compare to the boring over used things like Shurikens and swords. I really wish the actual Manga was out..
The fighting scenes, amazing. The animation plus the actual fighting will make you beg for more and be upset when it's done.
Story Direction
Both the characters and story go so well together. There are three major facets to the anime that makes an anime stand out, the fluency of the movement, The design of the character and it's surroundings, and the locales and settings of which the characters live and travel to, TTGL..meets all three and completes them honorably.
The animation is quite simplistic but yet facking amazing, the only thing that isn't simple is the Ganmen designs and it's combination's, the lines, wires, colors, and designs, it takes a lot of creativity to do all of it.
The settings change a lot from episode to episode and the difference is amazing, they can be in an Underground village, then to a desert, then to a big city. The changes really affects how the story goes and the always go back to some of these places, it's very nice to experience these changes.
Characters
Simon (pronounced Sea-mon, not sigh-mon), the main character, lost his parents at the age of seven in a big tremor in his underground village named, Jeeha. He's light-hearted, cares for a lot of people, sensitive, and very very much like a scardey cat, but this diminishes away as Kamina taught him strength and courage.
Kamina , the main character next to Simon, is the exact opposite of young Simon, he is determined and strong willed. His father left him during childhood and proved to hi the surface existed, he then figured out he was dead shortly after he had gone to the surface form Jeeha.
Yoko , The woman with the large cleavage and the one who started the Ecchi in this Anime, is the best marksman in her village, Ritona, originally a underground village like Jeeha, but was forced to move up because of the weapons they had and the Ganmen (The robots)
Gurren, This is the large red robot that was obtained by Kamina after he defeated the original controller. This robot later on combines with Simon's Lagann, making, Gurren lagann.
Lagann, Simon's Mini-ganmen makes up the head of Gurren lagann and was discovered shortly after Simon found the Drill, also the key for activating the Ganmen, it also needs the controller to have strong emotions.
I Defiantly suggest you watch this anime if you don't mind mild ecchi, you love comedy, Mecha, and don't care if you get "alot of dirt in your eyes".
