Line 21:
** Some mention has to be made for {{spoiler|the second movie, which gives us Chou Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: an [[Energy Being]] which might well be the reincarnation of Kamina, wearing Simon's star-shades and a fiery energy-cape, standing taller than galaxies, and looking fit to crush the Grand Zamboa underfoot. Granted, Grand Zamboa promptly matches his size barely a minute later, but that's not the point}}. It's outlandish and illogical, comes straight out of left field (even for this series), and can be neatly described as a vision of Awesomeness.
** Only for a short while but Guren-hen has a scene right at the beginning which shows Lordgenome announcing his dominion over Earth while the Chouginga Lazengann is ''sitting on Earth as if the planet was its throne''. For those who haven't seen the series, said mecha is [[Humongous Mecha|the size of a planetoid]] (the upper half of [http://www.keichi.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Galaxy_gurren_lagann.jpg this] is the mecha in question) - more exactly, it was ''disguised as the Moon'' for a long while.
** Nia, the [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] of the first half and the [[Damsel in Distress]] of the second half got massively beefed up in the second movie as far as {{spoiler|[[Evil Makeover|her Anti-Spiral form]]}} is concerned: {{spoiler|when she appeared in the prison to kill Simon, Viral tried to take advantage of his [[Healing Factor]] to take her down in hand-to-hand combat... and [[Won't Work On Me|a single attack from her]] sent him flying over her with a multi-somersault, lodging his head between a pair of iron bars. And the kicker: Nia looking over her shoulder with a bored, "did you say something?" expression}}. Abso-fucking-lutely ''priceless''.
* [[Macross 7|Basara. Nekki.]] All that needs to be said is that there is a reason why the military nicknamed him "Karaoke Ninja".
* Ichijou from ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2cMzgzeHFA See] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjD9O1SIrY4 for yourself].
Line 118:
* ''[[They Are My Noble Masters]]''. What happens when you put an [[Expy]] of [[Tomokazu Seki|Domon]] [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|Kashu]] up against one of [[Nobuyuki Hiyama|Gai]] [[GaoGaiGar|Shishioh]], then have [[Yosuke Akimoto|the Undefeated of the East]] get involved? [[Crazy Awesome]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjTCmzVNYdM that's what.]
** Also Shinra Kuonji would probably have been arrested for her habit of Molesting, among other people, her younger sister were she not crazy rich to go along with it.
** Hell the whole cast fits this trope, whether it be the Trap Shouta Chiharu, the younger sister Yume, who spends a good amount of time Angsting over the fact that Shinra ''doesn't'' molest her or the Big Sister Mihato, who is a Brocom and proud of it. Seriously the most "Normal" one among them is a [[Older Than They Look]] [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] who [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check|supports them all.]]
* The Principal is easily a [[Crazy Awesome]] character despite his being in the charmingly cutesy "Hidamari Sketch". The Principal appears completely out of place compared to the other characters, and his actions make him appear more so. For example as The Landlady for the Hidamari apartments strolls by the school gates from across the street she abruptly stops to see The Principal dash towards the gate perfoming three full front flips as he leaps over, perfectly landing next to her and proceeds to thank her for taking care of the students. Another is when Yoshinoya is spraying him with a water gun several times over before The Landlady tosses him his own to which he reacts by dodging Yoshinoya's shots at rapid speed before firing directly at her forehead. In these scenes The Principal's animation style changes drastically from Cutesy to Extremely Serious.
* Revy in [[Black Lagoon]] falls under this trope; for example, the time when she takes out several speedboats chasing the Lagoon by jumping from each to each and shooting everyone on board, or making them shoot each other... all whilst listening to something that sounds like exercise music on an [[MP3]] player.
