Likewise.

The Gurren references are everywhere in this show, hell, the show in general references a lot of other things too.

(EDIT: Didn't know someone went through and already added these)FOR EXAMPLE: The elite 4 transformations are based off of Marvel characters. Gamagori's first scourge regalia is a reference to War Machine, his 2nd uniform is a reference to Juggernaut, and his final form is also possibly a reference to Apocalypse. Inumuta's final form is a reference to Spiderman, Nonon's transformation is a slight reference to Galatca, and Sanageyama might possibly be a reference to the Silver Samurai (don't know for sure.) Also Iori is obviously Dr Octopus.

There's a whole (incomplete)list here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/225692543/References.html
