I'm going to agree with you on the director part Roxas. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengen_...annel_incident)

The director change is what I believe to be the change from the foreshadowing that was in the first few minutes of the first episode.

Note: Not trying to pick a fight, just posting my views.

As per Vinion's comments on "too much action too little of everything else": The show has a lot of exaggerated scenes. I might as well put that first as to not confuse everyone. But to the main point; it had too little storyline? If you can point out a storyline fault I'd love to have a discussion about it, but as for right now, I can't find one. Character development? Pretty much the only ones with a static characters are Kamina and Kittan, but they were perfect as they are. Each character was also unique to themselves. There may be similarities between a few but that's to be expected. And as for drama, when was the last time you dented a bedframe in anguish at the end of an episode. (Episode 8: Farewell, Comrades. You should know what I'm talking about)

So to not make it seem like I'm glorifying the show and I worship it every night, it did have it's faults. The #1 fault was the crybaby character who is way too emotional for anyone to like him (damn you shinji!), but, due to constant prayers, he became kamina-like and praises to gainax who did a good job with Simon's character. #2: Show pacing. For the most part the show went at a casual speed for the first season. But when the second season hit, plot devices enter so fast you'd think the director from excel saga jumped into the boat for a little while.

Well, other than those two, I can't really think of anything else in the show that I'm dissatisfied with.

Oh yeah, before I forget. If I'm wrong about something, please post about it. I hate staying ignorant about something so if it's no trouble, please prove me wrong. (So that I stop acting like an idiot about the subject at hand)

Condensed version: TTGL was epic-badass-awesome. That is all.

Boota!

anyway, the series wasn't perfect, but theres nothing like THE perfect anime or whatever. if there would be one, the rest would suck, wouldnt it? though, it was the most perfect anime i ever watched: there was action, there was character development, there was story, it was serious and yet funny. this mixture made the greatest anime i ever watched.

(dont click if you didnt watch it to the very end)

I agree, Gurren LAngan was brilliant! Its like the emotional aspects of evangelion combined with the randomity of FLCL.

It makes sense because a lot of the creators of the show either made Evangelion, or FLCL.

TTGL is basically the most epic anime ever, it has no equal in terms of epicness, that's for sure.

I had no hard feelings about putting it in my top 5, and I've debated my top 5 a lot.

I just finished watching this the other day as well. Overall I loved it, some scenes were corny.. ya'll most likely can figure out which. 10 out of 10 stars if there were 5 more stars to add in my book. Definitely those one of a kind anime story lines.

I don't know if I've said this or not, but I thought that the music was really good in the show. I thought the song "Libera Me" From Hell was awesome.
