10. I'm sure plenty of people before me said this, but I totally agree. Gurren Lagann made me simply happy and hopeful in a way anime hasn't done in years, and it ENDED with it still like that (sadness in the final episode aside) rather than it sliding off into oblivion the way most of my favorite anime do. I finally can say I have a favorite anime and know with 100% certainty that's what it is. I've carefully locked my memories of sitting around on IRC looking at 4chan spoiler threads every saturday, then freaking out as each part got released on Moontube, spazzing and enjoying myself with friends. Watching ep 21 with a friend at my house where we jointly freaked the fuck out is among one of my favorite memories. I look forward to having sons so I can show them this anime and I secretly know in my heart I'll be devistated if it doesn't mean anything to them as it has to me. IT'S SORT OF DUMB. But... nothing wrong with being moved by a story. That's what they're written for, after all.
