I can't stand it . One of the most formulaic shows I have ever seen, the same thing happens every episode. Simon screams loudly, his magical spiral thingy goes round and he pulls a drill shaped dildo out of laganns ass and beats the enemy. Next week the same thing happens but the enemy is bigger, so he has to scream even louder and drill a bit harder. Congratulations you just finished the first half of gurren lagann (with the major spoiler omitted)
Now admittedly I've only seen half of it but I can't see it changing that much given how formulaic it is. Sure what seems like a major upset happens a quarter of the way in but it only changes the show for the worse and it has very little effect on the direction of the main plot.
On the plus side the art and music are fairly decent and a few of the characters aren't stereotypical for the genre but it doesn't make up for the boring, repetitive plot.
