If you thought Naruto was awesome, you'll change your mind when you watch this. From the same people who brought you FLCL comes an awesome new anime of epic proportions. TENGEN TOPPA GERREN LAGANN Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future where human beings have been forced underground and thrive in isolated subterranean civilizations on Earth. These "villages" have no contact with the surface world nor other villages. Since frequent earthquakes damage infrastructure, the villages must constantly expand deeper into the earth—individuals designated to this task are known as "diggers". Giha Village is the home of Simon, a fourteen year old digger who was orphaned when his parents were killed in an earthquake. He is respected by the village elder as the best of the diggers, but is ostracized by his peers. After discovering a special drill key deep in the ground, he is recruited by an eccentric fellow orphan named Kamina into his group, the "Team Gurren". Kamina dreams of the surface world, which he visited as a child with his father but had to return home because he was too weak to survive. After a failed attempt at reaching the surface, Kamina is jailed by the elder and Simon resumes digging, only to discover "a big face" deep in his tunnel. As he excitedly fetches Kamina to show him the discovery, he is caught by the village elder, but Kamina's punishment is interrupted by the ceiling of Giha Village collapsing as an enormous robot falls into the cavern. A girl named Yoko appears and tries to fight the robot with a large rifle, but initially cannot do much. Simon takes Kamina and Yoko to the "big face" he found earlier and discovers that the small drill key can be used to activate the small robot, which he uses to end up destroying the much larger robot and effectively break through to the surface. ---- This is as far as I'm going on the description as to avoid spoilers. Anyway, if you need any reason to watch this series, Kamina (as pictured in my avatar) should be enough... But if that's not the case, watch it for the MECHS SO HUEG THEY START THROWING GALAXIES AT EACHOTHER and MISSLES THAT SHOOT OUT BATTLE DOLPHINS. It's all the craziness you'd expect from Gainax with great characters and epic battles to boot. I'm pretty sure it's not airing outside of Japan right now, but there are fansubs on the youtube, so you have no excuse not to watch it.

I wasn't too hot on the idea because this uber noob 25-year-old bee with an itch on another forum suggested it (Ducky, you might know her. Firefury from DPO? She's also insane.), so I had my doubts. But you keep raving about it, so I'll give it a watch now. 8D
