I have the first two discs, but I've only seen the first one. I like it so far, though.

Today one of my friends was feeling down and unconfident. I told him not to believe in himself, but to believe in me who believed in him. He responding with a smiley emoticon.
It was the best thing ever.

Yeah, the show is one of the few Gainax shows I actually liked. I'm not a big Gainax fan.

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]I only picked up on bits and pieces of it here and there during its run on Ani-Monday on Sci-Fi (Oh, forgive me SyFy...oy.). It left me dazed and confused. To me, it looks like FLCL and Eureka Seven chucked in a blender and put on Frappe. Maybe if the library starts getting the DVD's, I'll get into it, but for the time being, it goes on my "meh" list.[/color][/SIZE][/font]

This is an incredibly wrong characterization of Gurren Lagann. I'm not too sure about the FLCL comparison (I'd imagine, stylistically it'd be similar, but I'm pretty sure FLCL has a lot of weirdness that isn't shared by Gurren Lagann), but Eureka Seven is
nothing like Gurren Lagann other than featuring mecha. Of course I don't blame you, since:

Gurren Lagann is one of those shows that you absolutely need to watch in order. The story moves at a
very quick pace (I'd say it's exponential). Catching an episode here and there is the worst way to check it out.
Gurren Lagann is my personal top anime of 2007. 2007 was a very good year. What this means is that, for me, Gurren Lagann beat:
Negima!?
Death Note
Kanon
Manabi Straight
Nodame Cantabile
Hidamari Sketch
Hayate the Combat Butler
Nanoha StrikerS
Lucky Star
Dennou Coil
sola
School Days
Higurashi Kai
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Bacanno!
Bamboo Blade
Sketchbook
Gundam 00 Season 1
Clannad Season 1
Shakugan no Shana Second
ef - a tale of memories
Kimikiss
Myself]Gurren Lagann is very good.[/I]

Ooooh, I just came up with a good word to describe Gurren Legann...
Escalation.
Amirite?

I really like Gurren Lagann. It's definitely one of the better mech animes I've seen. I love how the action was so over the top and acid induced.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is probably the perfect "Predictable" show. Right off the bat they show you we end up in space somehow, then feeds off that growing expectation of getting there. The real treat when they reach the Spiral King in episode 15 isn't the battle (though consequently episode 15 is my favorite), but the dawning realization that we're not even off the planet yet. There has to be something more, and more there is, leading to a much stronger second half of the series.
Now only if ______ had survived. *Fist shake.*

As I said in the "What Anime Are You Watching" thread, I've just begun to watch Gurren Lagann myself. It's really fun.
Kamina is such a great, dynamic character. His over-the-top style reminds me of Gai Daigoji from Martian Successor Nadesico.
The interesting thing about Kamina is that from the first episode, it seems like he'll be the one with the most character development, making him the "main" character. But instead, he somehow seems to take a backseat to Simon. This is a good move on the part of the writers, because as likeable as Kamina is, if he were the "main" character throughout the series, he'd probably get kind of annoying. But his personality is balanced out by Simon's more meek and insecure manner, with Simon himself brought to the foreground despite his comparative lack of "stage presence".
Yoko is . . . well, is Yoko. She's somewhere between the two male characters, with a very strong presence of her own, like Revy from Black Lagoon. She brings together the unit as a whole, making them a strong group, easy to get behind and cheer for.
So far, Gurren Lagann is definitely one of the best action anime I've seen in a while.

Aside from the fan service, I love this anime. It starts out great, gets better, and better, and bigger and.....well, the last couple of episodes are just completely awesome as far as anime goes. I really need to finish it with my room mate.

I like what you have to say. And I totally agree. He and Shiro Yamada ("CALL ME GAI!") have a lot in common.

I actually didn't find Gurren Lagann that perverted. The fanservice never went into the realm of animes like School Days.
I loved how the unique style of the mechs in Gurren Lagann. They actually looked a bit different from your run of the mill mechs.
