Gurren
Lagann is a very distinctive series both visually and in tone. The show itself
is absolutely bonkers yet the easily likeable characters are what make this
series simple to invest in. The show has a very youthful spirit too it and is
loads of fun to watch.
The animation is enjoyable; Imaishi
seems to have a very particular style. The music in the show is gloriously over
the top as is the animation. Kamina, Simon’s best friend and a pivotal
character in the series, is always a delight to watch. The only complaint I
have is the rather offensive gay stereotype in the show tonally it fits tone
wise but it does detract a tad from enjoyment of the series. In conclusion,
Gurren Lagann is a largely enjoyable series that is sure to be remembered well
after it ends.
Rating: 9/10
