Gurren Lagan Review

Gurren Lagan  is a 2007, mecha series created by a favorite of mine. Gainax, though the  company has gone down in quality with stuff they've  made reccently, except for   the Evangelion Rebulid movies and maybe even  Stella Girl's Academy  that I have yet to watch.  Gurren Lagan  in my opinion is defintely one of their best.

Story:
The story follows a young boy,  a digger living underground. Along with Kamin, he's awesome sort of big brother.   One day Simon finds a minature type drill, that glows.
Kamina tells our young hero that he's drill is the one that will piecre the heavens! but that's not all our two  characters find underground, a big skull type  creature. that is known as a Beastman, that our characters will keep fighting for the right and peace of living on the surface through out almost the rest of the series.  However, another character is fighting the beastman   as well    and comes underground from another village, the beautiful gun-carrying  Yoko. It turns out  Simon's drill is a key to   a tiny mecha known  as a  Gunmen.   So! Yoko, Kamina, and Simon finally escaped  to the surface from the beastman,  Our heros and heroine will meet other characters along the   way in their fight. Including  the  flamboyant mechanic, Lerron and  the Beastman hunter  Kittan and he's three sisters known as the Black Siblings.


Overall:
The series is just perfect, watching it  makes me think of what makes a good  anime.
The character designs  are good as well, and sometimes  the way the   characters look in certain lighting   is just great. The  battles are  quiet good.  Some people say Raxephon and other series make up for Evangelion, but honestly I think  Gurren Lagan does, even though  it wasn't created by Hideki Anno.   And of course being a Gainax series the soundtrack and music are good.     I really can't think of a bad thing to say about it,  I think the battles could be long sometimes, but they were still good.  Just when you think things are bad towards the end of  epsiodes sometimes in the series. at  the end of them  it just gives you a sense of hope and happiness. The ending is not  half done  with no ending, the series ends quiet beautifully. with that being said   if you want a good mecha series or  just hated Evangelion   or weren't even happy with it, go with  Gurren Lagan instead.  
There's    also   two movies  for the series,  Gurren-Hen and Lagann-Hen  that just basically give a  recap of the series,   and sometimes  skips things around alot  with montages basically,  I would watch the whole 27-episode   full series instead,  it 's completely worth it I promise!   and now..  I give the series a 10/10.   

Until Next Time!
