>_> Well at least the first episode didn't catched my attention.

*Big Boobs.
*Annoying guy.
*Shy Guy who got a overpowered mecha.
*Silly fight over zero reason.

At least the 'Lets get to the surface' scheme seems original... in some ways. I hope this get better.

To me, the first episode was sort of boring, but still started off the show good

Believe me when im saying that i wouldn't watch TTGL because of the extremely mother fucking people saying: "HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME" or something along those lines. Im at this moment on episode 25, its a good show, it is still not worth to be ranked as 1 on MAL in my opinion. Just 2 episodes till the end, lets see if i change my mind.

Ok I finally started watching the hyped series (I think its a bit over hyped), but so far this looks awesome. Character designs, humour and animation style looks great. I even like the characters themselves lol. Loled at the ecchi end part.

Looking forward to more. I have a feeling this series is going to be as good as everyone says it is.

5/5 episode.

The animation is different. Looks very promising, the Mechas are kind of weird looking. Good action and funny.

I can't believe I put off watching this series for so long... it turned out to be so funny at least judging from the first episode. I'm also really liking the over the top presentation... somehow this series makes it work well.

Watched with high expectations, since this show is so highly rated, and was not disappointed. What a way to start with a bang. I'm looking forward to watching the rest. :D

Ok, so I've heard many good things about this anime...but that always leaves me skeptical because I was told The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya and Code Geass were awesome but they're definitely not. But, I actually enjoyed this first episode and the animation style was pretty crazy sort of like FLCL. So I'll save my judgement til the end ^_^

I'll reserve my judgments for later, but I'm not sure if I enjoyed the first episode or not. I'm also not to sure on the characters, except for maybe Kamina.

Probably the most enticing first episode of a series I have ever seen. They cut all the bullshit introductions and get straight to the action. Fucking brilliant.

Well, colour me pleasantly surprised! That was quite entertaining.

Although, I couldn't help but notice:
Girl with big, long gun; guy with rather long sword; the many, many drills; the insertion of that little drill in the "Lagann" to start it up...Phallic much? This would have been Freud's dream!


you're reading too much into it lol

Decent introduction to the series. I wasn't floored by it but it defineitely shows a lot of strong potential (that it lives up to in episode 2 might I add).

I'm a very Great GAINAX Fan,
have seen the Staff at German Anime Convention,
they said through this Anime most fans identify GAINAX.
With Gurren Langann, they think no longer this.

I have high expectations, but now i'm disappointed ^-^"

I've been meaning to watch this for some time, had it sat on my EHD for long enough.

I'm glad I didnt wait too long! This was a brilliant episode! The humour was well done slapstick and the Kamina character was awesome! And Yoko was awesome! And Simon was, well, the protagonist so can't start out awesome, but Simon was....a good protagonist!

I'm gonna like this methinks!

A friend suggested that I watch this so I decided to check it out. Not really sure what to think after that first ep. Everything happened really fast and didn't really make sense.. I mean.. he just happened to find "Lagann" and the tiny key for it right before that giant robot thing attacked.. >.> But I do have to say my eyes were glued to the screen throughout and I liked that there seems to be a bit of comedy. Hope this series turns out good!
