Needless: Needless to say, a fun watch

Initial Impressions: Gurren Lagann - Mechs + Lolis(Yuri lolis).

When I first read the synopsis I was initially unimpressed, but after reading reviews I decided to give it a try. Move over Canaan, there's a new favorite show in my Summer slot.

Absolutely no thought required to get into this show, pretty much everything you need to know about the plot is revealed before the show is half finished.

The real meat is of course the over the top presentation and the gags work.

As for the ED. It was great, but it could overwhelm the unprepared.

you really think its better than canaan? gurren langan wasnt really my cup of tea but im willing to try this one...the fighting animation in canaan seems top notch(not that im an expert or anythin) and im a sucker for good choreography so..

Yeah the Blogsuki post for it looked great, you reminded me that I have it sitting around waiting to be watched, I'll take care of that now. brb

DOUBLE POST!
Wow, that was interesting.... I can't say it was the top of my list cause I do like plots with depth so CANAAN and Umineko are still my favorites but it's definitely interesting and....... BEST ENDING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Lastly where the hell is my Ichizon no Setokai? That was initially the only thing I was looking forward too until Thahn told me about CANAAN and brian told me about Umineko. Oh yeah and Umineko's intro is badass too.

Well like I said, it's taken top notch for me because I look at the show and everything works. The jokes and action, they are all well done. The characters are also appealing, take Adam Blade for example, most people carry liquor in their bibles, he carries a grenade.

I think Ichizon no Setokai got canceled or is stalled for another season.

Okay now that I'm pretty deep into this show, I can heartily give my approval.

Overall, the show is rather a bit slow at the start, but around ep 4 it really picks up the pace (except for 6 and 7 which were fanservice filler, but rather enjoyable). Despite the initial humor, it actually gets rather gets gory at time, but the studio keeps the level of violence to better match the initial impression (as opposed to the manga which gets bloodier and gorier from the initial grenade blowing off a guy's arm, not that this is bad mind you).

I find it amusing that they hired Minorin to play the part of a mute girl.

Also, I think I found a new waifu.

At the bottom of their shit hole they get pro reinforcements. Cliché but awesome nonetheless.
I'm surprised the strength pink haired girl was so readily affected by the gravity though I mean, it should counteract the effect more or less.
The ending is still awesome though.

Well, if you look at her expression, it would look like Mio-tan wasn't even trying to do anything in comparison to the other two girls. Or, the simpler explanation is just force of gravity>super strength.

I hear a new OP is getting ready for the 2nd cour, hopefully they'll keep Aggressive Zone though. That never gets old, no matter how many times I see it.

Frak frak frak frak frak, the mute said something! I'm just as shocked as the characters.

Otherwise it looks like this was where the budget for the previous episodes went.

Lol Shizuka is finally makin' her paycheck.

You mean Minorin.

Well I was amused by her gasping sounds. At least it's not like Special A where what's her face probably went without a paycheck for like 15 weeks.

Oh yeah, my bad. Man, Special A was awesome.

The new op and ed are...interesting, the ending especially.

Spoiler:

Cruz-tan http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=146&u=11965321

He was also in the first ED in trap mode, but only like 2 fast shots.

Okay got around to watching the new OP/ED, man they just can't compete with the old ones.

Scarlet Bomb just doesn't get me fired up as Modern Strange Cowboy and well... nothing can compete with Aggressive Zone ED.
