The ongoing problem is that every statement concerning Gurren Lagann is "It's so dumb, it's so ludicrous, it's so outlandish that it's AWESOME!"

The thing is that, it pretty much a celebration the Super Robot genre, and it abuses every trope and cliché from that genre. It does have some structure. It seems to be a coming of age story, if those interest you.
