The most kick-ass damsel in distress since... I meant to say since Luthien, but IIRC she rescued Beren, so it was backwards, or she was not in distress, depending how you look at it. Therefore, the most kick-ass damsel in distress, ever.

I also meant to yak a bit about Nia's manifest impossibilities, such as her ability to retain own body while back on Earth, but any words are just too small. Gurren-Lagann is something to be experienced.

UPDATE: Looks like G-L is back at Hulu. Surprising. Is monetary performance of Hulu enough to force re-instatements?
