It's Tengen Toppa Gurrenn Lagan -- can anyone confirm a translation for the first bit : I've seen it rendered as "breaking through the sky", or some such.

Yep, I believe that's the correct translation. Tengen, not from the tengen era, but from ten (heaven) and gen/moto (basis/foundation). Breaking through the base of heaven or something.

Dude, Kamina is so awesome, that he made a Ganmen accept him out of sheer willpower, and his WHODOYOUTHINKIAMKIIIICK was too awesome for the Gurren to bear, breaking it's arm.
Loving the show so far. It's so fun.

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man. There is no measuring Muad'Dib's motives by ordinary standards. In the moment of his triumph, he saw the death prepared for him, yet he accepted the treachery. Can you say he did this out of a sense of justice? Whose justice, then? Remember, we speak now of the Muad'Dib who ordered battle drums made from his enemies' skins, the Muad'Dib who denied the conventions of his ducal past with a wave of the hand, saying merely: "I am the Kwisatz Haderach. That is reason enough."

Was it as awesome as Inazuma Kick? Or Double Inazuma Kick? Yeah, didn't think so.
Awesomely Shitty

Not quite, but it's up there.

His kick obviously can't hold a candle to an Inazuma kick much less a Double Inazuma Kick, but it was cool in its own way. Anyways, so far I'm liking the characters in Gurren Lagann especially Kamina. It was hilarious when he started using the gun to smash the Ganmen hatch open.

Wait, what? When/where did episode two come out? I can't find it...
EDIT: Ne'er you mind, for I have found it.

I think the slight animation difference between episode 1 and 2 is just because of the difference in the episode's key animation director.
Watch Eva and there's little consistency between overall animation styles between episodes.
Anywho, didn't Imaishi himself direct the animation in the first episode of Gurren-Lagann, because that episode most resembles his kinetic dont stand still philosophy.
Episode 2 was done by some Shoji guy and Epsiode 3 is being done by one of the key animation directors behind some of Evangelion's best epsiodes. Masahiko Otsuka.
P.S. For me the most shocking thing about this series is how damn fast it's moving. It's only on Episode 3 and they're already going to have THE Gurren-Lagann of the title and have a head to head confrontation with (what seems) to be the series big badguy.
Tre interesting. Well, director Imaishi did say this series is divided into 4 clearly distinguishable acts.
-Aaaah, its so nice to have a quality REAL Gainax anime out there. Cliches and all it's just being done right so far.

Episode 3- Both the Gurren-Lagann of the title and the (seemingly) main bad guy are introduced......and its only the third episode.
But the episode was so......AWESOME!!!!! For some reason now whenever the pilots of the mecha talks the mecha moves its mouth. Damn visual consistency, its so damn cool!!!!
It so far doesn't hint 1/10th of the character complexity of Evangelion (I was so sure the main character Simon was going to be like Shinji, complex and overcome by his very human fears, but Simon seems to just say "I'm too scared to fight! No wait, I will!". )
But damn it this is Hiroyuki Imaishi and I can definitly see the guy keeping up the pace like this.
If there's ANY fears I have about this show it's Gainax's (or was it really Anno's?) tendency to use up the budget before the end of the show? Cause if that's the case this might be the first time an anime goes into the red with their money 6 episodes in.
One last note is I can't see this series having a "Gainax Ending" since Episode 1 bluntly states how much of a badass Simon is going to become.

I've read that this airs on Sunday morning at 8am in Japan, which would be a very kiddie-friendly time slot. With that in mind, I doubt this is ever going to reach anything near to Eva's complexity. It'll probably remain lighter fare. But I'm just guessing, nobody knows for sure except for Gainax.

The only Gainax anime I can think of that didn't have a gainax ending is puchi puri yuushi, so I'll believe it when I see it.
I really liked the scene in episode 3 when the two robots united. Yoko seemed to be really turned on by the idea but then Kamina just shoved Lagann into Gurrens head and that beastman was just like "this guys a moron" But somehow it ended up working anyway! Kamina has the dumb luck of Misato!
which would be a very kiddie-friendly time slot
Seemed like a fairly adult anime though, although the fanservice is tamer then some of gainax's other productions.

While I don't disagree, to be fair, in episode 2, he did learn that the ones that created the Earthquakes that killed many people in his village were those beast men, so his change of attitude isn't senseless.

If the series lasts until after the events of episode 1, they easily could make a "Gainax" ending.

Eh... not really. Kamina's attitude (dissociated from brutal violence) is something usually found in characters from Japanese kid's shows currently, like the Super Sentai series- though it's usually the main character rather than a secondary one like in Gurren Lagan.
