To be clear, I also very much enjoyed Gurren Lagann (Believe in the me who believes in you!)

_stranger_@lemmy.world@lemmy.world 18 hours agoGurren Lagann is supposed to be the starship troopers of mecha anime. It takes the whole “bigger robot” thing to the only logical conclusion as a way of lampooning the genre, but in doing it so perfectly, it became the very thing it was trying to make fun of.
In short, it’s perfect, and how very dare you.

I don’t think lampooning was ever the goal; I think it was always just “bigger and better”.
