I think Gurren Lagann is really good because of the over-the-top action. The way it comes off is that it's very aware of this. I don't really know how to put it into words, but I never felt that anything they did was silly the way it would be in any other anime. Really a great watch from ambitious beginnings to bittersweet end.
You are a better person than I for remembering this.Worgen said:snip
