Gurren Lagann: Does Having So Many Faces Make You Great?

While Samurai X might be crap, Kenshin is most definitely not. If you have not seen "Samurai X" in it's true form, you have missed one of the greatest anime shows ever made.

Only an ignorant bigot thinks of human sexuality as a "controversial socio-political agenda". I personally found it hilarious.
If you're really offended by the vaguely sexual references then maybe you should stick to children's cartoons.

This episode had way too many homosexual references to the point of being disgusting by by the end. The animation itself became very ugly compared to the last three episodes as well. I will give Gurren Lagann one more chance but if the next episode sucks this bad, it is the end of the line for me. Animators should NEVER inject controversial socio-political agendas into their storyline unless they wish to isolate themselves from potential viewers. It is OK if they are trying for a target market. But if they wish to fish with a bigger net, they should play it straight (so to speak).

and MANLY COMBINING? hahahahahahaha

there are so many Lover-Beloved homoerotic vibes coming from Kamina. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's jarring considering his distrust of the effeminate mechanic and leering over yoko. and why is he so cocky about a world he just found out about (like the 16 faces revelation--he balked at the guy arrogantly)? this is such a frustratingly weird character...oh well! it's entertaining, though!

This episode is intended as a satire of similar anime whose quality degrades over time to the point where later episodes look nothing like the first two-episode hook. This was also satirized in another anime FLCL, albeit much more briefly.
If you watch later episodes of Gurren Lagann, you'll see that the high quality carries over from start to finish, a hallmark of this impressive anime. However, this satire episode fell somewhere short of being just obvious enough for the casual watcher to "get it" and the plan backfired.
If you want to see genuinely bad anime, just watch the first episode of Samurai X on Hulu.

I wish the landing gears were in Jersey, so they can fight the villains from afar.

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters
