(8 epis watched) Till now loads of silliness, loads of fanservice, and loads of MANLINESS!! "Do not believe in yourself. Believe in the me that believes in you!" Kamina He is THE man... a frigging immature and recklessly stupid man, but a man nonetheless. I fell in love with that guy and his attitude, pure entertainment, pure manliness. can't wait to watch the rest. "If you fear, don't. Don't believe in yourself, but believe in the me who believes in the you! Our drills pierce the heavens, earths and tomorrow! With spirit unbroken we can bring forth the powers of the strength which lies dormant in us! Hearts intertwined with each other, nothing will be able to break us! Piercing destiny as yesterday's enemies; creating the new path towards the future with these hands! This is Gurren Lagen. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!" (22 episodes watched) Wow... just wow. This show quickly dropped off most of the silliness after episode 8. There are a lot of emotional moments, lots of growth from Simon. He took over the leadership position after realising that he is himself, not kamina. Then, he starts to kick ass, Gurren Lagann style. Then in the third part, lots of politics came in (the politics are depicted more maturely than most of this genre, at least good enough for me), together with a new enemy (not to mention a much taller simon). Then the struggle continues. If there is an enbodiment of strength, perserverence, and beating the impossible, this is the best example that i know of. All these may seem cliche, but gurren lagann makes them seem so awesome that i do not care anymore. I do not know how they do it, but i do not care either. Up till now this is easily amongst my favorites. 4 (or 5) more episodes to go. "The two paths of man and beast intertwine to create a spiral path! Piercing destiny as yesterday's enemies and creating a new path with these hands! The Union of Fate--GURREN-LAGANN! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE ARE!?" Last updated Thursday, September 04 2008.

(One episode watched): I certainly hope that being shown "in the morning" doesn't mean this anime is targetted at children! The abundant fanservice and outrageously wild animation practically cried out "Gainax!"--they reminded me of FLCL--and indeed, the Gainax logo was among the credits. I like the unique comic weirdness of this show--like Simeon and Kamina's origins among the "mole people". I wasn't all that enthusiastic going into episode one, but it quickly won me over. Here's looking forward to more Gurren Lagann! My favorite line (so far): "Forget about the impossible and throw away your reason! That's how the Gurren Brigade does things!" --Kamina Last updated Sunday, July 08 2007. Created Thursday, May 10 2007. | ||||||||

3 episode seen. Hey, this looks like it could be a lot of fun! Reminds me of Top wo Nerae! 2, with zany robot battles and outlandish over-the-top characters.

(The first episode is out as a fansub) From what I understand, having a new series shown in the morning is pretty much a kiss of death (all of the great anime series aire at midnight or late in the evening,) but this new series is pretty strange and fun. It reminds me of the wierdness of Trava - Fist Planet OVA. Adreniline driven weird anime that does not make a lick of sense, but that does not stop it from spinning a fun tale.
