one_klump Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just finished Lagann-Hen. It was so epic I'm at a loss for words, the last half of the series was distilled down to its most awesome parts, then more awesome was added to the last 20 min. Then, after the credits, we see Simon is happy, and carrying out Nia's wish would the world. the last 30 min were so epic... the Anti Spiral battle just kept getting better. Not to mention they actually made the loss of Kittan even more heartfelt by showing his memorial service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Need to find this series on DVD. It's been a month since I've seen it for the one thousandth time - and I already feel myself becoming a worse person for not watching it again!

At first, I thought you just can't get any bigger than Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, boy was I wrong! I still wish Nia somehow remain at the end...

Pete Unfortunately its not yet been released as a box set in either Europe or America so you have to buy it in three parts (and they're not cheap!). Not that I'm complaining since the power that will drill through the heavens is well worth it. The european release has some nice art on the sleeves (Yoko...sigh...) plus audio and subtitles in french, german and of course english! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each volume averages about $30-$40 for 2 disc's each, which is quite fair. And the volume 1 SE comes with a box for the rest of the series, the volume 3 SE comes with the 2 Disc OST.

m0n5t3r Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) so, i've been asking around and still haven't gotten anything.... what scale are these Lancelot Albion and Gurren Lagann GFF Composite ver. Ka figures at, 1/100 (like the metal composite) or 1/144 (like the normal GFFs/GFFNs)? Edited February 23, 2010 by m0n5t3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Are these really gonna be in metal Are these the 1s metal composite figures outside the Gundam franchise? on the scans it says "Composite Ver. Ka" only for the Albion and Gurren Lagann... whereas for the 0 Gundam right below, it clearly states it's part of the "G.F.F. Metal Composite" line and (the last scan states) that it'll be in 1/100 scale. http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthre...;extra=page%3D1 Edited February 23, 2010 by m0n5t3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Lagann-Hen suffers from the same problem Top! 2 did; it goes back to the same well too many times. We can only have so many gattai sequences and "even more super" robots before it becomes stale. The last half hour is just one after the other. Less is more, ya know? Some really cool sequences, but I don't think either of the movies worked at that well. Edited February 23, 2010 by Duke Togo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 But does KA also mean it's a Katoki design - and therefore it won't be anime accurate, but rather somehow..."real robot" ??? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really cool sequences, but I don't think either of the movies worked at that well. I hated Gunbuster 2. I tried to watch it because I heard it was some sort of predecessor to TTGL, but I found the characters boring and mecha design was attrocious. It sucked as a sequel too. Lagann-Hen was pretty good though. Even though the story was essentially the same, it felt more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I missed out on the Gokin Gurren Lagann (which I believe was made by Kaiyodo). I will not miss the KA version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Is the European release available online (not Amazon) ? Where? Pete If you can't use Amazon you can always go to ebay.co.uk where all 3 dvd sets are available. Just make sure to choose a seller that has a high rating (over 99%) to avoid any surprises.

I will not miss the KA version. it was by Konami. well, everybody was expecting a SOC GL... as for the scale, i hope it's 1/100... coz if it's 1/144 its only gonna be as tall or maybe a little taller than the revoltech GL.

one_klump Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I really enjoyed Gunbuster 2, more so than the first series. Don't get me wrong, the first series was good, but God it felt like forever before the story picked up speed. Only so many scenes of robots doing jumping jacks until I go nuts. Gunbuster 2 was so over the top that I loved it. The mechs had their own personality and super powers, and each episode was action packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) darn ... read somewhere that the Metal Composite ver.

I agree with the emphasis on Kittan's sacrifice. And I loved the movie's version of the epilogue. At least here, we get to see what Simon has been doing -- and it's definitely a worthwhile endeavor, showing his dedication to Nia's memory. I just can't get over how awesome the final battle was. I just wish i could watch it on a real movie screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'm a bit wary of movie versions of anime series (Escaflowne or Raxephon anyone?) , but with the good feedback these films are getting, I'll definitely a go at them. Downloading as I type.

VFTF1 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Re: Metal Comp. ver. - All I really care about is the poseability and the accessories. And of course it WOULD be good if Lagann and Gurren could function autonomously... Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the epilogue too. And that final battle. Wow. Talk about over the top! Having a Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan followed by a Tengen Toppa version of everyone fighting was just plain epic. And Simon fighting it out on foot with the Anti Spiral.
