Japanese Hardcore Wrestling, Vol. 3

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.

Gurren Lagann is one of the best anime titles out there. It's art style is what sets it apart from all the rest. This crazy hand drawn style (though I'm not entirely sure if it is hand drawn) may turn off some, but I personally dig it. I knew what to expect after buying Dead Leaves. This is a bit more tame (story wise) compared to Dead Leaves, but still off the chain none the less. The story line is great. There is a little over the top acting at times but that is kinda like the soul of this series. The whole freaking crew is over the top! And I love that about it!This is the final two volumes packaged as Part 3. It was worth every dollar spent, and I highly recommend it!They now have the complete series for a cheaper price.

i payed i little more because i thought i was going to get a better condition product, but the case is a little damage. If i would have know this i would have just gone with a more expensive but higher quality kept version, Or a cheaper, more used version.

There are just no words in the English language to describe how awesome and satisfying Gurren Laggan's ending is. After it's over you look back to the start of the series, realizing the amazing adventure they had, how they started out so small and weak below the ground and how they fought their way up until they challenged the freaking Moon and after that they killed a god, basically. The feelings, the emotions and the realization of it all leaves you mind-blown for the rest of your life. It's really the perfect synthesis and love letter to the old mechas of the 70's and 80's, superbly well-handled. So much fun, manly, actiony, cartoony, hilarious and epic. After you're done you will remember it for the rest of your life.

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!

1. buy this if u read this 2. buy gurren lagann parts 2 and 3 for another like 70 bucks (you'll thank yourself later.) 3. watch the entire series, chances are you seen this anime before. if its been a while your past due! 4. look at the box set take some time to review your purchase, when done go do what im doing NOW. 5. your welcome!

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.

the case is the weakest part of this set. it's like it's made out of the thinnest and crapiest plastic ever. but i didn't buy this for the case... the discs work, have japanese only audio and feature american subtitles. great dvd menu, simple and easy to use. i love this show and these discs contain the show i love so 5 stars.

Greatest show of all time. Despite the picture this is actually the box set that is black with the red gurren lagann logo on the front which is what I wanted anyway. Super happy with this purchase.
