Overall.... I'd give it a 9.7/10. Easily one of the best anime I've ever watched, and everything from 11 onwards rocked face, but the beginning was a bit too slow and took a while for me to get into it (Kamina in particular... he was half awesome, but half kind of annoying, and while he was cool, I didn't OMG LOVE him like other people seem to)
Five favorite moments in the series (no particular order except #1):
-Simon stabbing Lord Genome in the chest with the Drill Key
-"What's wrong little mole pig? You want to come in?" *BUUUUU!!!*
-The entire "Awakening" scene... so many awesome moments. Kamina+Yoko+TV, Kamina and Simon having a final chat, and VIRAL'S FAMILY D:
-Kamina's final Giga Drill Breaker
And the #1:
-"KING.... KITTAN....... GIGA.... DRILL..... BREAAAKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAA"
Seriously, that entire sequence was fucking AMAZING. From the final conversation between Yoko and Kittan (and the way they'd set up the situation/the relationship between those two beforehand... and hell, through all of the series, when Kittan is constantly overshadowed by Kamina and then Simon) to his final charge. Good god that was AMAZING.
Top five characters:
5.) Kamina
4.) Dayakka/Leeron (tie)
3.) Yoko/Viral (tie
2.) Simon
1.) Kittan

I think that post-timeskip is when Kittan really starts to hit his stride.
Oh man, the scene where he's playing with Anne and being all "Your uncle is going to the edge of the Universe! He'll have some great stories to tell you!" (before they leave for the final battle) makes me go D: now.

I think Simon would probably be my favorite, I guess.
Also, the dream sequence was the best moment in the whole series. Kittan's death was also really fantastic, but I still don't even know if I would place it at number 2. Let me think here....
My favorite parts, in chronological order:
-GARlock
-Breaking through the surface for the first time
- the first GATTAI
-Kamina's death
-last five minutes or so of the Yoko flashback episode
-The entire Arc-Gurren episode
-Leaving earth to head into deep space
-Kittan's death
#1-Alternate universe sequence
-breaking the spiral gauge
-Wedding and the epilogue

1.) People dying lets you override the laws of physics.
2.) The laws of physics appear to be optional, anyway.
3.) Comedy makes your picture quality drop.
4.) Being camp doesn't make you a brilliant scientist, but it sure does help.
5.) Homosexuals are immortal. Furries are too.
6.) If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger drill.
7.) If you still don't succeed, get a bigger robot.
8.) If you STILL don't succeed, just get really, really pissed off about it.
9.) And then? DEUS EX MACHINA, BITCH.
10.) Size is only consistent if you want it to be.
11.) Believe in the mole-pig.
12.) Men whose names start with "K" should never yell "GIGA DRILL BREAKER~!"
13.) Phones can be designed within 5 years if you're awesome enough.
14.) Dayakka's wife is the best in the universe.... swing!
15.) Cloaks make your voice deepen an octave.
16.) A man's worth is judged by the size of his sunglasses.
17.) It doesn't matter how big your robot is, the Lagann is still going to break out and kick the crap out of everybody at some point or another.
18.) Never trust Fei Fong Wong. EVER.
19.) Strapping cute nerdy girls to bombs will make them love you.

21.) Every 20 years you'll sound like a completely different person. Unless you're SCIENCE!!1
22.) Epic music makes everything better. Everything.
23.) Sham trials and executions are perfectly okay as long as you remember to cry in private afterwards.
24.) Sacrificing your best friend (who is also the most powerful soldier) FOR POLITICS rarely works out in the long term.
25.) Small, cute animals and big tits are a natural combination.
26.) It's okay to be furry for Viral.
27.) It's okay to be a furry pedophile for Boota.
28.) IT DID NOT END ON EPISODE 8 YOU BASTARDS.
29.) While awesome, Kamina is not the entire cast.
30.) The worth of a female character is measured by the size of her... guns.
31.) Anonymous is behind everything.
32.) You first appeared in episode 7? Start making your Will out now.
33.) Obviously, triggerhappy maniacs make the best choice to man powerful weapons systems.
34.) Kissing Yoko marks a man for death. This may still be worth it.
35.) Fuck logic.
36.) The only thing that can beat violence is more violence.
37.) Getter Emperor? More liek CRUSHED BENEATH THE TENGA'S FOOT Emperor.
38.) The primal uniting force of the universe is badassery.
39.) If it would be awesome for something to happen, it will happen.
40.) DNA doesn't look like that due to chemical processes. It looks like that because of SPIIIIRARUUUU POWWWWA.
41.) Beware of girls in boxes. Nothing good will ever come from them.
42.) If anything doesn't need to be explained, then it damn well won't be!
43.) If it isn't 0%, it might as well be 100%.
44.) Hell, even if it IS 0%, it still might as well be 100% anyway.
45.) If you strike an objection pose at a beastwoman, she'll run away.
46.) Even an awesome hat cannot make up for terminal amounts of stupidity. You're still cannon fodder.
47.) GAR and bureaucracy do not mix.
48.) You can do the impossible, see the invisible, and everything like that--as long as you're hardcore enough.
49.) Gainax can actually do an ending right... as long as there's enough MANLINESS involved.

Same here. I've been losing interest in anime lately because nothing really tickled my fancy, but Gurren Lagann reminded me of how great anime can be. But for reasons totally different from why I liked anime in the first place. It sounds extremely corny, but...it felt like it said "this is how a man should be."
Kamina and Kittan sort of remind me of Captain Bravo from Buso Renkin.
Work in progress. Avatar by Wrestlemania, if my memory is right.

It's a guessing game with an ADV spokesperson. Thus far, they've correctly found:
Brett Weaver as Kamina
Tiffany Grant as Yoko
Brittney Karbowski as Kinon
Chris Patton as Rossiu
Hilary Haag as Darry
Jason Douglas as Kittan
Kira Vincent-Davis as Kiyal
Monica Rial as Kiyoh
Vic Mignogna as Viral
I have no idea who any of these people are since I don't watch much anime, let alone dubs.
No Simon, Nia, Boota, Dayakka, or Genome yet.

Brett Weaver is known to voice Nabeshin from Excel Saga
Tiffany grant is well known for her part as Asuka from NGE(As well as her Asuka merchandise collection that puts my immense obsession right to shame)
Brittany is not to well known but she was very good as Himeko from PPD
Greg Ayes is known for his part as Koyuki from Beck.
Hilary Haag is known for Rebecca(Becky) from PPD and Megumi Shitow from Rahxephon
Don't know much about Jason Douglas but I liked him as Liquid from Papuwa and from checking ANN he was Ilpalazzo.
Kira Vincent-Davis was Nyu/Lucy from Elfen Lied(still brick shitting that she was also Osaka from Azumanga but I didn't like that dub too much)
Vic Mignogna FUCKING VIC MIGNOGNA is probably the most famous out of the list as he played Edward Elric from FMA
Chris Patton's most noted performance was as Sousuke from FMP and most recently Satou from NHK
-Updated list-
Luci Christian is well known as Kaname Chidori from FMP as well as Nami from the new One Piece dub(Nia)
Monica Rial is known for Nyamo from Azumanga and Haruka Shitow from Rahxephon(Boota)
I actually don't know about Mark X. Laskowski[Leeron](Other than the fact that he was that korean guy in the ND bro's dub) and John Gremillion(Dayakka)
EDIT:Josh Grelle(Simon) I don't know who the fuck he is.

Like I said, overrated, huge annoying fanbase, and it's not even that good. It's like humans are the ultimate good and anything else is evil. That is just wrong. Not to mention whoever made this obviously hates animals.

Is this any worth watching, and why? Help a lazy thinker out.
Well worth watching. Ignore all the people who post in ALLCAPS SAYING OMG SO MANLY AND GAR IT'S THE BEST THING EVER EPIC EPIC EPIC, the fanbase is easily the worst part of Gurren Lagann.
The show is basically Gainax taking Evangelion, removing all of the depressive stuff with a punch to the face, adding the giant robots from Gunbuster and Diebuster and a degree of the quirkyness from FLCL. Huge robots, drills, inspiring speeches, drills, epic fights (I hate to use epic to describe stuff cause it's overuesed, but I'm using the literal meaning of the word here), drills, really really mindbogglingly huge robots, drills, Gainax doing their usual schtick of trying to go even more over the top in each and every episode and drills.
It's a fun show and, even if the people who speak about in the aformentioned allcaps are annoying, it does have some really awesome moments, especially once it really gets going in episode 8.
Also drills.

Simple, since I commented on your post of spam and bullshit, with just a pinch of trolling, when it was deleted, my post didn't make sense anymore, so it was also deleted. And something tells me the same will happen again shortly.
