I want to keep this review spoiler free, as this show needs to be experienced in all of its beauty without any of it being spoiled.
I've never felt more deeply connected to a show before, which is strange considering that throughout the entirety of the show I really wasn't. You see this show has a way of binding with you when you don't expect it. The seemingly cheesy and cliche undertones of the show start to resonate with you and you become part of Team Dai-Gurren (the main team in which the show revolves around).
Many people avoid this show as they are put off by mecha type things and don't really care for them. I am here to tell you that this show, although its number one tag may be "Super Robot", is not a mecha show. It is a journey that depicts the growth and potential of humanity through people who find themselves fighting for a tomorrow, neither good or bad.
I want to be like the people in this show, driven with only the purpose to succeed and never give up no matter the cost. To take the risks necessary to accomplish anything. I know it may seem like I am rambling about everything that this show hit me with but I there is only so much I can say about this show without spoiling anything.
If anything, when you watch this show (and please don't put this on your plan to watch list...just take a breath and do it), enjoy it in all of its glory. Don't play it in the background when you're doing homework. This show is one of the few gems that you can just watch and marvel in all of it's subtle stupidity. You can look past all of the plot holes because in the end it doesn't matter. No matter where you are in your life, I promise you that this show will definitely impact you in some way. You will find yourself screaming along with the characters when they say their signature lines. You will smile as the saltiness of your tears drip down. You'll be entranced by the subtle brilliance of the soundtrack which deepens the moments with every note.
You might ask why I put this show at a 99 instead of a perfect One Hundred. Once you watch this show you will probably understand, but to give you a short reason: This show isn't perfect, but who the hell do you think I am to cap this show at only 100?
