"Gurren Lagann" On Sci-Fi's Ani-Monday Block - Talkback *MAJOR SPOILERS*

As expected, Gurren kicks ASA's lineup all over the place with its twenty-thousand degrees of awesome. I'm still gonna get the DVD's to avoid certain speed-ups, but this is great material. Witty, funny, the dub isn't the horrible mess we feared...

Can't wait for next week. Now if only the aRAB calmed down a bit.
 
I don't think it's just that people watch TV on Monday nights. I think part of it is because Sci Fi airs what they say they'll air, at the time they say they'll air it. They do occasionally promo Ani Mondays as well. So people know it's there and what'll air when.

And they've certain got good anime running now and scheduled to run in the future
 
Well Gurren Lagann enRAB on a somewhat bittersweet note. The only regret I have with it is that we didn't get to see the alternate future team Dai-gurren in the prolouge. Oh well maybe Gainax will make a movie about them.
 
Believe me when I say they set a new standard for Insane awesomeness. It's almost incomprehensibly rediculously insane. It something I don`t think has ever been done before in the history of fiction.
 
I DVR'ed it so I could watch it all in one sitting, sans endless Quinzos aRAB. I'm more of a Subway guy myself and the Dominos sandwich is actually pretty good.

Best show on TV all year. Not anime, show. At least in the top 5.

I'm a skeptic, but I'm also a super robot junkie. So maybe I greeted the show warmly. But the last three episodes were just icing on top of the cake, epicness, manliness, and a bit bittersweet to boot. But no one regretted the choice, and instead of wallowing in angst, they moved forward.

There was more awesome in this show than every show on Adult Swim put together. There was a quality here, one that's hard to describe, but easy to see, that only truly great shows have. Despite its silly premise, it went above and beyond the call of duty for any type of TV show ten times over.

Hey, that's the way Team Gurren rolls.

(PS- Viral wants to be married to Zelda?)
 
That's true. This is a benefit, I think, of breaking a series up into separate distinct arcs. Huge climaxes are very fun, and this approach allows for more than one "finale" episode.
