I quite liked him meeting Simon again.

Oh Gentarou...

As for the Boota thing it really bothered me, it felt quite stupid honestly.

Yeah, that got spoiled for me yesterday. So I was expecting it. I do agree that it was stupid, he even went back to normal after, so what was the point?

Also maybe some spoiler tags would be nice. Those are kinda important plot details.

Sorry.

Anyway episode 28:

This. Is. INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, uhm...yeah. So, I'm not really a fan of how crazy it got. About 90% was that insane fight. It was nice to see Lordgenome become good. The ending was also kind of touching, if bittersweet. What bothers me is that Simon was like "Yeah, I know we've all been through some serious stuff together, but I'm just going to abandon you all and go off on adventures". I did like the tag at the end, since it showed how far everyone had come since the beginning of the show. Oh, and the animation was amazing these last two episodes.

My thoughts on the series as a whole? I quite enjoyed it, but I don't think it's "TEH GREATEST ANIME EVAR!!!!!11!!!!11!1!!11111!" that a lot of people make it out to be. It's not the deepest story ever. It doesn't take itself too seriously (most of the time, I'll get to that later), though I feel that with a show like this, you can't. Now, when I said most of the time...the arc after the time skip. It just really slowed the show down. Bringing things in like "The human condition" and stuff doesn't suit Gurren Lagann. I think the show is at it's best when it isn't trying to be serious. The characters, for the most part are fantastic. Simon, for example, starts off as a whiny little coward, but at the end of the show he grows into a strong leader (and at the tag, a very wise man). Yoko...yes she had giant boobs, and is the shows primary source of fanservice. However, she is not only that. at the very beginning of the show. She doesn't have a Gunman, yet she seems to be the only one who can hold off the enemy Gunman without on of her own. I did like some of the character development she went through. The little part where it showed her as a teacher was nice. Now for Kamina...a lot of his character development came after he had died. When he was alive, all we saw him be was the crazy, bombastic guy. It was then after he died that we found out more about him, and he became a deeper character. I suppose I was ok with it, but I could see how some people might have a problem with it.

Lastly. Some people (me included) are turned off by the series due to hearing how crazy it gets (throwing galaxies and stuff). However...NONE of that happens until the very last episode. Yes, episode 26 was crazy, but not THAT crazy. I feel like that was the wisest decision the writers made, because having more than one episode of that would be just ridiculous. So yeah, Gurren Lagann. Not perfect, but still pretty good.
