I'm showing [Gurren Lagann](https://www.gurren-lagann.net/) to my wife. I watched it some 15 years ago, so my memory is far from perfect, but I remember some things. 

{{<img-center "gurren-lagann-01.jpg" "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!">}}

We've seen only the first episode, but I was not expecting this much foreshadowing! Of course, some of it is world-building and toying around, but most of the episode will have a consequence in later episodes. Even the first scene, when one knows what will happen in the future, has so much detail which has hidden sense.
