Anime — Tengen-Toppa Gurren-Lagann

Heaven-piercing Crimson Face — “Yours is the drill that will pierce the Heavens”

Not since the days of astounding tales of super science, like E.E. "Doc" Smith or John W Campbell have I seen such unashamed escalation.

Simon the Digger rises from humble beginnings in an underground shelter, via a whole lot of transforming/combining mecha, to save the world and free the galaxy from the Great Silence.

A great romp for your inner 12-year-old (especially if the inner 12-year-old has ADD).
