No, but since Gainax did I will have to check it out, anything by them is usually at least worth checking out. Is it out on DVD or is it not licensed here yet?

It was, I believe, licensed by Geneon.
Who have apparently gone down. So who knows when or through whom the series will be officially released now.
It is, I must agree, full of manly awesome.

Curse you Geneon, curse you. I guess that means I'll have to go through other means to watch it.

For the most part it really doesn't matter what it is, but the fact Gainax is involved makes me want to jump up and watch it. I've yet to dislike one of thier projects. To me they are slowly building themselves as the Bioware of anime

it's about how real men piloting their ganmen going to break their destiny of destroying the universe by putting their fighting spirit into their manly fists and by asking their enemies who the hell do you think we are most of the time.

Well, seeing as the show is about drilling things. I guess it is manly. I like this chart's summary of the series.

I've only seen an ep or two, but it was pretty fun. It was a bit goofier than I hoped, but not bad. I guess it's more Gunbuster 2 than Eva or Gunbuster. Though I still need to see Gunbuster 2, so that's a guess. One of my roommates swears by it.
As for liscence... yeah. Geneon USA is gone. So if it was announced, then it's been canceled. Though I'm sure with Gainax and giant mechs, someone will pick it up eventually.

Whats the story?Roughly speaking, it's about reclaiming the Earth's surface from increasingly giant-sized enemy robots. (I've only finished the first arc, so I only know snippets about the second arc.)
This makes for a great GL commercial, if you don't mind a spoiler or two: Gurren Lagann 300 trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3GSMPAZhMU)

Finally finished watching the thing (started about two-three weeks ago).
Loved it. Fairly standard Super Robot show plot-wise, but it pulls off most of the bits really well.
Only major complaint was trying to remember/keep straight/where did they come from? the extra members of the Gurren Brigade.
Best part for me? Aside from some awesome fights (the "My-Wife-Is-The-Best-In-The-Universe Swing" is as great as it is funny), my favorite part has to be Lord Genome. The guy needs a sign saying "Yes, I am the biggest badass on this show. Even more than Kamina.".
Hope for the future: Super Robot Wars has Gurren-Lagann combine with Eva Unit-01, combine with Gunbuster, combine with the Arc-Lagann, and combine with Buster Machine 7 for an uber-machine with more defense, firepower, and drills than God.

That graph is true, if it included episode 27 then the graph would break.
