All Yous All Newfangled Anime

I'm pretty sure I'm the last person to hear about the show Gurren-Lagann, which started airing in Japan...in April I think?

I'm on episode three and it's quite enjoyable so far. Absolutely wonderful animation.

Lol, please do. If the next two episodes don't hook you, then I don't know if it will, but my favorite two episodes ever aren't until...eleven and twelve I think?

Yeah that's the funny thing, because I do love Hei and his partners but it's the world and the ideas overall that I absolutely love. Hell's Gate, the contractors, I just love it all. And I really love Kirihara and the conflict between the cops and the contractors.

Trouble is, you don't get much depth for the characters until a ways in. They have a way of sneaking it in that I like. The main reason I fell in love with Hei so quickly was because of the almost-but-not-quite split personality he has between Hei himself and Li. It's just such a switch, and you can tell there's something not quite genuine about either of them, but Li is so adorable and Hei is so badass that you're willing to wait for more to be revealed.

Lol, I guess.

Next two episodes, I promise. *crosses fingers*
