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.

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 this review. But let me say that the character development and evolution is handled as well as any anime or film I've seen.

Gurren Lagann's style is a mix of Naruto and GaoGaiGar. Familiarize yourself with those series if you haven't already. Basically it's just WAY over the top!! It doesn't matter if it's the characters, weapons or scale. If the scene can be made any more spectacular, it is. I can't say enough about this series, other than BUY IT!! Support this kind of high grade anime!! And hopefully we can get more amazing anime series like this in the future. Thanks.

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. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it. Highly recommended.

Oh, and this volume concludes the series brilliantly. Just get 'em all if you don't have 'em. They're essentials.

Prepare to break through the karmic cycle of never-ending battle with your drill, Gurren Lagann!

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.

Gainax does it again. The ending isn't quite as epic as the rest of the story, but the journey getting there was singular and Studio Gainax at some of it's best. Some of the most unique and colourful animation I've seen in years, with an obvious nod to Marvel Comics of the 1960's. Highly recommended.

one of the best mecha shows ever made. ever anime fan owes it to themselves to check this out

the product was great and had a reasonable price. only downfall was that it was subtitled. This can be bothersum to some people
