Movie is very cool and the animation is fantastic, the action sequences and movement was easy to be Followed and the mecha is very awesome too

This is an anime movie based on my most favourite animated series of all time, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2007). The thing that stood out most about the series was its sheer epic scale that surpassed anything I'd ever seen before. However, this movie only covers the first half of the series, so it doesn't quite reach the epic heights near the end of the series, though that will probably be covered in the sequel Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Lagan-Hen (2009) releasing later this year.

Although it's not quite as amazing as the anime TV series, since director Hiroyuki Imaishi obviously had to squeeze a lot of episodes down into just two hours, I think he did a very good job of it. A few welcome changes to the plot and battle scenes were also made to give fans something new to see. Overall, it was incredibly enjoyable and very moving to watch, though one might need to watch the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann TV series first (or at least be familiar with anime in general) to really enjoy this movie.

9/10

This anime is the most epic show you will ever watch

It has splendid action, wonderful locations, incredible drama and emotion, exceptional characters and a phenomenal story - its epicness is just beyond comprehension!!!

And it gets more epic and more intense with each episode! Words cant describe the brilliance of this anime!

I would give it an 11 or 12 or even 15 out of 10 if that was possible

After watching the first 5 episodes I wasn't very impressed and I wanted to drop the show - but with episode 6 everything started to get better with an incredible rate - and so a skeptic has been converted into a fan!

I WAS NEVER ACTUALLY ABLE TO WATCH THIS BECAUSE I AM A MASTER CHEAPSKATE AFTER RUEL STROUD BUT THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT. THE POINT IS THAT THE ANIME THAT THIS IS BASED OF OF IS REALLY GOOOD
