::::Overall 9/10::::


I bet most of you have heard about TTGL in one way or another, but here’s my view of the anime:

Story: The young boy Simon and his “aniki” Kamina lives in a village underground, but dreams about seeing the sky and live on the surface. They meet new friends and together with them they create Gurren Brigade, a force against the beastmen who rules earth.
After half of the series have passed, there is a time leap, seven years ahead, and the characters have developed when it’s time to meet humanity’s greatest treat.

Art: They know about their special effects, the anime has great ... colours but I’m simply not found of how they draw the characters. Even though I dislike them, they seem to fit in rather well with the whole style of TTGL.

Sound: I can’t complain about the seiyuus, but none of them were extraordinary and stood out. They had the same opening during the whole series (but with a different animation after the time leap) and two endings. None of them something special. The BGM was in one word terrible. In the last epic battle they played a remix of opera and rap. Not a success, at least in my opinion.

Characters: Sure, they get caught in a cliché or two but they succeed with developing the characters during the series. They are affected by what is happening: some dies and some fall in love just to mention some things. And in some way, the interplay between the characters is logical most of the time.

Enjoyment: It swung between an eight and a nine during the time I watched the anime, but at last I decided up on a nine. I enjoyed the series, even if there were a few things I would like to change, but that’s how it uses to be when I watch an anime. Unfortunately, the ending was worse than the rest of the series.
