This third set brings the adventure-comedy Gurren Lagann to an appropriately zany, high-energy conclusion. Seven years after the defeat of Lordgenome, the Spiral King, mankind has returned to the surface of the Earth. But when the human population passes the one million mark, Lordgenome's dire prophecy comes true. The Anti-Spiral forces arrive and try to crash the Moon into the Earth. Simon rallies his mecha-pilot friends to join him in a fantastic battle that will determine the fate of the universe. In the best sci-fi anime tradition, Simon fights to protect the Earth and to rescue his girlfriend, Princess Nia. The war between the Spiral and Anti-Spiral fleets takes the familiar cast across space, time, and other dimensions they weren't even aware of. But their dedication and fighting spirit triumph, even when the fabric of space itself distorts.Director Hiroyuki Imaishi pushes the visuals over the top, using Day-Glo colors, wonderfully off-beat designs, jazzy CG effects, and rapid-fire cutting.Simon, who began the series as a nerdy teenager, grows with each challenge until he resembles Kamina, his beloved, outrageous "Bro." The sleeper hit of 2008, Gurren Lagann combines the madcap energy of FLCL with the escalating metamorphoses of a Gundam epic and the self-reflexive parody of Martian Successor Nadesico. The story may not make much sense, but when the adventure is this much fun, who cares? (Rated 13 and older: violence, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

FYI, I'm going to be duplicating this review for the other two parts in this series. I've been a hardcore anime fan since the mid 80's, I even purchase a lot of Japanese region exclusive anime. I've watched them all, from ROBOTECH to GaoGaiGar to Witchblade. And Gurren Lagann is a very, very good anime series. One of the best.
The story is very well paced, reminiscent of Gunbuster (the original OVA, not the new series). Sorry, I'm not going to give away any hint of spoilers in ... Read More
Rating: - AWESOME!!!
This is the greatest anime every made. The DVD doesn't really offer any extras...or an English version...but it is an amazing world that everyone should experience.
Rating: - All the lights in the sky are stars.
A fitting end to one of the best anime of 2007. Unlike Gainax series before it, the ending makes sense. Well, not logical sense, but this is Gurren Lagann. But it does follow that crazy brand of GL sense, and it keeps its seriousness tempered with mind-blowing animation and energy. If anyone, and I mean anyone, did not get some manly mist-eyes in episode 26, they have no soul. Again, the ending couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.
Rating: - REJECT COMMON SENSE TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE!
I absolutely love this series.Underneath the flash, action, surreality, completely bizarro and truly HUGE scale events of cosmic destruction and rebirth is a very touching story about friendship, love, and "fighting spirit" to transcend the bonds of despair.This is an absolute must have series.Its at turns exciting, funny, action-packed, ridiculous, visually edgy / eye-popping, stunning, surreal, touching, sad, exploitative and flat out mind-blowing in scale. You gotta see it to believe it. ... Read More
