If you loved Gurren Lagann, I guarantee you'll love Giant Robo. Both feature wonderfully over-the-top "hot-blooded" action, GAR characters, epic scope, and excellent production values, especially in the case of Giant Robo, which took six years to finish animating the 7 episodes.
Similar style of storytelling. Action-packed yet touching adventures.
Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still is, in a sense, the spiritual older brother to TTGL, especially as both involve a young boy's journey to manhood. It has the same wow factor, however Giant Robo conveys a greater depth of heroic nobility and cunning villainy, and the action is more over-the-top than TTGL, especially as most of it is hand-to-hand. When you see the Big Bang Punch you'll understand what I mean.
Bombastic, exaggerated, ensemble action featuring giant robots. Themes of succession and the topic of sustainable energy abound, and the general character dynamic of a kid having power over a bunch of doubtful adults are shared.
