Valutazione di Pritcher
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Quite a mouthful. Anyway, I won't go on and on here, but I feel compelled to say something about this show because with its perfect blend of comedy, drama, action, and romance, (with no aspect of either feeling forced just for the sake of having it), it is quite simply one of the best animes ever made. Ask a few anime fans to list some of their favorite shows and you'll start to hear quite a few of the greats being repeated. This show easily stands shoulder to shoulder with any and all of them.
To give a little idea of the overall feel of this show for the anime fans out there. Let's say you hold, "Neon Genesis Evangelion", in one hand and, "FLCL", in the other. Now put your hands together and you've got Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Epic is probably the single best word to describe this show; epic in both scope and scale. From the technical aspects of the truly incredible, fluid and stylish animation; to the story with it's take on humanity, evolution and the potential finish lines to which we're sprinting; to the battles, ranging from underground guerrilla warfare in the early stages and ultimately culminating in a climactic finale of truly galactic proportions. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say it involves literally tossing whole planets like baseballs and even flinging entire galaxies like so many shuriken. Epic.
Nothing is perfect though, it does stumble a bit in the audio department. However, it only falls short in comparison to the rest of itself. That is to say, while the rest of the show is, "excellent", some of the audio aspects are only, "very good". The character designs are also nothing special, but that is easily countered by the spectacular animation and the personalities of the characters themselves.
It's probably not for everyone. Some may be put off by the artistic styling such as the unconventional and often bizarre angles and techniques as well as the hyperkinetic feel of the animation. I, for one, couldn't be more thrilled with all of it. I've seen a lot of anime and quite frankly most of it is mediocre at best. After wading through so many anime lately with virtually interchangeable story lines, art and characters, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is like a breath of fresh air.
Sorry, I guess I did kind of go on and on after all. Anyway...
9.5 out of 10, but since IMDb doesn't allow the .5, I'll have to round it up and give my first ever 10.

Chrono is a demon gone bad, of course since good is bad for demons that makes him a good guy. Anyway, this good demon has made a contract with a nun, (of sorts), named Rosette. Together they fight evil, with machine guns and blessed bullets, while searching for Rosette's younger brother Joshua. Demons teamed up with nuns with guns is a fairly ridiculous premise to be sure, but there have been worse that made good. I am not a religious person in any way, but I am fascinated by religion and different beliefs so it's good material for me.
Technically, everything is good; great art, sound and animation. Character design is mostly the average big eyed, super cute deal which works for me. The demons, in their true forms, are sufficiently cool looking as well and the battle scenes are flashy and fun to watch There are a few things that just didn't really work for me. While the show is humorous, it sometimes feels inappropriate inserting somewhat crude jokes into otherwise dramatic scenes. That's not to say that is shouldn't have humor; I just think that it could have be handled better. Most of the humor is absent towards the end of the series anyway as it becomes increasingly serious.
The biggest problem for me has to be the characters. Characters, in my opinion, are the most important part of any show. However, aside from Chrono and Rosette and maybe the butler, I either didn't like or just didn't give a crap about any of the characters. They were simply not interesting and there was little to no character development for anyone besides the main two.
In the end everything wraps up fairly well and Chrono Crusade, despite its shortcomings, manages to be a bit above average. Nothing spectacular but it's worth watching.
