No Wikipedia, too many spoilers.
It's an anime from Gainax (guys who did Evangelion). I can't really tell you what it's about as I have no idea.

ONLY SIX POSTS IN A TTGL TOPIC? HERESY!
YOU CAN POST MORE, I KNOW YOU CAN! DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!
(BTW, I absolutely love TTGL. Favorite Mecha show besides Big O and Megas XLR. It's just... sooo insanely epic that it makes everything better. As somebody said on TVTropes, roughly, when Simon gave his speech after a certain somebody died, you could feel the ghosts of angst Evangelion left lieing around being excorcised from the genre.)

Well Lee, if you wanted more posts you should have posted yourself before.

I forget why, but I never posted here, despite adoring TTGL very much.
I hope they get it into Super Robot Taisen some time. That'd be epic. One would think it'd break the game, but they managed to balance IDEON, so I'm pretty sure it'd be fine.

As I recall they were not so much giant as just super perky. Which would be cool except I remember very clearly that in the first episode Yoko kind of fell on top of the little guy (some kind of vehicular mishap) and he got a faceful of Yoko boobs, and he was shocked but she was just kinda smiling down sweetly at him.
I didn't watch any more episodes after that cause it made me feel sort of dirty and not the good kind. I probably would've been more into it if she had reacted actually any other way whatsoever; i.e., like a human being?
But I can see how the show has its over-the-top charms. Just not my thing.

i'm watching evangelion and gurren lagann right now and they're like two sides of the same coin. eva is really angsty which was revolutionary for the genre at the time; likewise gurren lagann kind of brought some fun and wackiness that was kind of refreshing for a genre where angst had become the norm
lotta gainax boobies man i tell ya what

evangelion is one of the shittiest shows I've ever seen. There was a point about 3/4 through the series where I stopped in the middle of the episode, took a deep breath, and thoughtfully considered quitting the series altogether. I decided to finish it to see if it could redeem itself but it didn't. It was just angsty bullshit, ankle-deep philosophy horsepiss, and basically a bunch of stuff for kids who just learned about nietzsche to jerk off to. I heard that the movie switched up the ending and some other things which were my biggest gripes with the show but I don't want to see it because people seem to give evangelion way more credit than i think it deserves.
2/10 - would not have sex with

You did. We were talking on AIM and you told me you were in the middle of the episode so I told you to stop watching and save yourself a few hours of your life.

A conversation 3 years in the making....aren't we all proud?
Evangelion is rediculously powerful if you're in the right frame of mind when you watch it. Back when I was still sort of swayed by religion, and doubting atheism (due to there being no proof that god 'doesn't' exist), I found Evangelion to be rather direct and overpowering. I rank it alongside a book entitled Lancelot Du Lethe, which made me so fucking sad that I literally spend the next two months actively NOT remembering the book. Its surprising how thoroughly you can push something out of your mind if you really want too.
Gurran Lagann is fucking awesome, for the record, and its over the top style and blatant crazyness is always how I want to write in the RP. But the RP doesn't like it very much.

I think if you're an angsty teenager or you have a lot of depressing shit on your mind then evangelion is prob perfect for you. If you're neither of those things then it's a shitty show and you should just watch Parks and Rec.
