I f-ing despise Naota. I love Haruko (especially half-naked), I like Mamimi and her constant "Takkun" outcries, and I of course love Canti for being a robot with a tv for a head. I hate Naota though. I especially hate it when he says "Nothing great ever happens here." As Rattrap from Beast Wars would say, "Grinds my gears!"

I mean, I guess I kind of understand the concept. The idea that no matter what a KID may wish for, if those fantastic dreams come true, he still won't be happy. Why? Because he's just a dumb kid and doesn't even really know what he wants yet.
But analogies aside, there were some things about the series which caught my eye more than others and I wished they had been expanded on more, but I think Gurren Lagann covered that pretty well.
