I don't really watch anime. The only anime I've ever really watched is Inuyasha, and I didn't finish that. After seeing a signature of Kamina's Who The Hell Do You Think I Am? on a forum I frequent, I Googled the phrase and discovered Gurren Lagann.
I never thought I'd be one to like Mecha, but Gurren Lagann changed my mind. It's over-the-top, ridiculous, and pulls it off with such finesse and sincerity you don't know whether to cry or to laugh (I did both). Upon first glance it seems like just a bunch of overhyped Fanservice, but once you get into it, you find out it has great animation, solid characters, and a strong plot. The ending was a major sticking point for several people, but I accepted it as it was. Yes, it was heartbreaking, but it made sense, and at least they were fine with it themselves.
Anyway, I would definitely look into it. If you're not one for a Bittersweet Ending, though, steer clear. And if you do watch it, bring a box of Kleenex. You're gonna need it.
