If you haven't see this already, I suggest you do. Do not fear that it is made by Gainax, for the sheer amount of badassery in it will possibly make your head explode.

Also, mechs the size of a galaxy > you.

Overrated and overhyped anime. It's good and all, but not as good as people make it out to be. It's really just a typical shounen storyline, but with great artwork.

Don't forget the music, now. The show has some excellent tracks.
I'm honestly waiting for the movies that are in the works, because I admit I REALLY got into the show. Its not a show I'd re-watch, though. Like Robotech, for example.

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!
It's a pretty average Shounen as Lylac said, even though it has the unconventional
(one of the)main character('s) death
barely 1/4th of the way into the first arc. I did enjoy the exaggeration of size in the anime though, made me think all the males had self-esteem problems.

Kind of an old bump, but if anyone is interested in watching this, it just started airing on the SciFi channel's AniMonday block at 11 PM.

One of my friends loves this anime but I haven't watched it yet. Its been on my "plan to watch" list forever. I plan to watch it after Darker than Black, which is after Last Exile.

One of the best animes ever made. Only one word really describes it
Epic
I really don't see how anyone can have anything bad to say about it.
Edit: I heard someone else today describe it as "GAR to the max". I thought that was pretty funny.

Not as good as my favorite Gainax creation, Neon Genesis Evangelion, but it's definitely up there with the better anime I've watched.

My favorite anime. It may not be all complicated in story and whatnot, but it's EXCITING, with EPIC battles in almost EVERY episode, and it just fills you with feelings of AWESOME.

I finally finished the anime last night and my first/biggest impression of this was "Ive never seen an anime with this much contrast from beginning to end". The beginning sucked majorly and the ending was amazing. The artwork was nice and the quality was pretty good (even though I was just watching it on youtube cause I was too lazy to download).
The beginning was really pretty meh for me. Yeah there were nice fight scenes but that was about it, and if I wanted pure fight scenes, I'd have watched it elsewhere. The first 18 episodes took me 3 weeks to get through on and off. I watched 19-27 in one sitting last night up till 4 am.
Ive heard the music before on G4's blog and I'd say that watching it with the anime and on its own makes all the difference in the world. On its own, its just a clash of different genres while in the anime, its the clash of emotions and whatnot.
Overall, it was a nice anime but the beginning few episodes takes it out of the "great" anime lists for me.

The only reason I enjoyed this animu was because of Yoko.
