I have heard this anime many times and I still haven't watched, (I probably will soon). If it isn't a problem can you describe why you suggested this anime since I haven't seen it yet.

I have seen the whole series of 'Casshern SINS' and sure the environment is destroyed and Casshern is certainly destructive and invincible but his powers is somewhat limited to his inability to die I believe. His actual combat prowess isn't really destructive. I will also need to check out 'Bleach' and thanks for your suggestions.

Because its home of all things manly.

In all seriousness, I will say it has even more devastation than Heroic Age. The progression of the show and main character was executed flawlessly until it got to the point of epically spanning across multiple galaxies within the universe, similar to heroic age. I probably can't put it better than tvtropes, "Thus begins a rollercoaster ride of Fanservice, over-the-top fight scenes between mecha, hot-bloodedness, epic sunglasses, massive Badassery, and mind-blowing heroism."

I've seen both Gurren Lagann and Heroic age, and I will say that they do rival each other in epicness. Loved them both and can't recommend Gurren Lagann enough!

Slayers. Specifically, the end of Slayers Next (comes after Slayers and before Slayers Try). The character I'm thinking of is the Lord of Nightmares.

***HUGE SPOILERS***
Spoiler :
One of the main Mazoku (monster/demon race), Phibrizzo, is trying to get Lina to cast the Gigaslave spell for the last part of the series in order to make it go out of control and return the world to pure chaos. He succeeds in forcing her to cast the spell, and it does go out of control, but what nobody realized is that the spell actually summons the Lord of Nightmares rather than just calling on its power. Lina is kinda possessed by it, her hair turns gold (in an awesome way, not overdone like DBZ), and when Phibrizzo attacks, the Lord of Nightmares destroys him. In Slayers canon, the Lord of Nightmares basically has ultimate power over everything. And yes, there is a TON of huge destruction across all three original Slayers series.
And as such, this is why I think this is EXACTLY what you're looking for. :wink:

Actually adding to my Bleach recommendation, look into Kenpachi's character (maybe specifically the first fight we see him in, against Ichigo? He was pretty powerful then and he sliced a building in half. xD; )

Mm... you also might want to try looking at Shizuo Heiwajima from DRRR!! He's immensely powerful and shrugs off injuries such as being shot in the legs pretty easily. As far as anyone knows, he's practically invincible. He sort of causes destruction by throwing things such as lampposts and vending machines (if thats anything close to having the settings suffer. ^^;; )

i really didn't think that ttgl had a lot of "devastation" most of the fights were pretty evenly matched until simon or kamina spewed some ridiculous line and proceeded to beat up the other guy in a decently clean manner,
Spoiler :
but even when they turned into something more powerful than god they still didn't really "devastate," in fact...they still got pretty devastated until simon, yet again, spewed some motivational speech and went for the guy's throat, however, the last explosion is pretty devastating-y-ish.

i guess when they fight the anti-spirals in space, the polygon ones, that's some devastation, but i can't see TTGL being the epitamy of "devastation"
or maybe i have a different idea of devastation than you guys.

casshern sins on the other hand, is a 24 episode devastation fest. that's about the only thing about the anime that isn't shit.

Afro samurai too, 90% afro unrealistically owning everything in sight with his sword.

Devastation is arbitrary :twisted:
I was just thinking along the lines of massive explosions.

Oh and Rahxephon might have some of what your looking for.
