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.

Oh God it's NOT DUMB AT ALL. I know exactly what you mean, i've never had an anime that i could call my favourite because i always used to think 'I like all the series i've seen' and stuff, but it's just that..i don't know, GL gave me something so much more than anything else ever has.
It was just perfect for me, and i know i my hear that this is something i will FORCE my children in the future to watch, and i want them all to grow up thinking about aniki and etc. and it's just ghdfgjfdj the past 27 were fucking amazing, 4chan was just barrel loads of fun because of it, and oh God i miss it all so very very much.
Knowing this saturday i won't be staying up until 2/3am in order to download the RAW is depressing. Knowing we no longer will see those fantastic and beautful characters continue to grow hurts.

I know i sound like a complete loser, but it's nice talking to someone else who feels somewhat the same XD;
