After completing the first season of Honey & Clover, I'm watching a couple of series in tandem. Dennou Coil and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Both are fairly light-hearted and fall outside of the "slice of life" anime I've gravitated toward lately. Dennou Coil has a definite Hayao Miyazaki innocence in its premise, combined with some creative twists on the concept of "augmented reality" (a constant virtual world visually overlayed upon RL). The other, Gurren Lagann, falls squarely in the shonen mecha genre but is rather clever & has a great set of characters. Gainax even pokes fun at itself on more than one occasion, even lampooning it's own ecchi tendencies in one of the episodes so far. When I get tired of the shonen/fanservice overload, I switch to Dennou Coil, then back to TTGL when I need a kick.
Anyway, the above image was found on the BSS fansub site, and I thought it uncannily encapsulated a combination of my current interests. Looks like another brewer out there likes his/her TTGL!
