What can I say? Gurren Lagann is just so manly and burning I cannot help but just feel for the atmosphere, and characters. I was expecting to be bored watching the compilation movie like I am with most movie compilations (I’m looking at you Mobile Suit Gundam movies), but it was very easy to get [...]

So the much awaited movie is out. Yeah it’s about 80% recycled footage, but the last 20% of the show was actually new stuff and consisted of the Four Generals getting their ass beaten up by the Gurren-dan. Considering that it’s a rehash movie, it’s actually pretty nice to have some new content, but the [...]

One of the very first anime I posted about on this blog, around two years ago, was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Now that there are finally subs available for the movie retelling of the first half of the show, I’ve taken the opportunity to, well, watch it. Since I found the movie to be quite [...]

- Almost not much difference from the series, all the way till before the fight with Lord Genome. - The DVD skipped/fast forward by showing segments and very short clips from episode 4 till right before meeting Thymilyph. - Simon’s ‘awakening’ was different, with Nia as the driving force for it. - Fight between Adiane and Yoko was [...]

The April Newtype had this awesome post-timeskip image of all the Gurren Lagann characters, drawn by animation director Sushio himself (who also sketched my Simon on my TTGL jacket). But in addition to a nice shot with all of the characters in their older appearances, there are some shots from the second movie, which is due out April 25, as well...albeit nothing too unfamiliar or shocking. Via the Gurren Lagann LiveJournal community.

Anime can border on the ridiculous sometimes. But it's not the level of ridiculousness that matters, but how it is handled. Going beyond normal mecha-design convention and kicking physics to the curb, Gurren Lagann is ridiculously awesome. Soul Eater episode 47, however, is ridiculously bad. Comparing the two can show us why.

I can’t get enough of this awesome cover of Sorairo Days the Gurren Lagann opening song by Tokyo Brass Style. I think it’s awesome and the band is great as well. Anyone else know of some cool covers of anime songs or have heard of Tokyo Brass Style before?

This is probably going to be one of my favorite lists ever. I want to list all of the things that probably mean more to me than they do to most people, some of which only I seem to ever talk about. These are some of my absolute favorite anime things, period - the kinds of things that make me an otaku. These are what I believe everyone else is missing out on. My most personal, precious anime treasures. They range everywhere from moments of dialogue to entire shows and occasionally artworks or others - and while I tried to exclude things that too many others would appreciate, some of these I'm sure are recognized by at least a cult support.
