I personally really enjoyed Alnoah.Zero for the protagonist that thinks his way through fights instead of just yelling. It’s like the anti-Gurren Lagann.
Gurren 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 liked Alnoha Zero)
Gurren lagann is cognitive behavioral therapy in anime form. Yes, this is a compliment.
To be clear, I also very much enjoyed Gurren Lagann (Believe in the me who believes in you!)
I don’t think lampooning was ever the goal; I think it was always just “bigger and better”.
Loved the show. Pity they never made a second season, but on reflecting, it didn’t need one.

I know. I know. I try to forget.
It is shame, but the conclusion
to season onewas fitting
