Dirty Pair done. It's a shame the show was canceled, I enjoyed it more with every episode and it was really starting to get into a good stride with the stories. Those two eps that were left to be unaired were some of my favorites in the whole series too. Oh well, on to the OVAs.
BUT FIRST, I finally decided to give Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann a try. Everyone always says it's fantastic and the best thing since anything, but I'm not the biggest fan of modern anime so I'm usually very hesitant to have any sort of high expectations for newer shows.
It's fantastic. I watched eps 1-16 over the course of the weekend. With the exception of episode 4 (I need to do some research on what happened behind the scenes on that one), I've absolutely loved it the whole way. It has already seemed to reach a great ending point, and a seven year time-skip is a pretty bold jump to make. Not sure if I'm expecting the second half to be as good as the first, but I've also heard that the ending is "legendary" and "unforgettable" so maybe I should just trust in the great Gainax.
