Because I'm not region one and buying Gurren Lagann on DVD in Europe costs 100 GBP - which is like 150 USD ... for 27 episodes of an anime :o

I'll probably save up for it and buy it anyways... but the price just blows... :(

Grouchy Pete :)

Portable HD. is way to go then

Roomate and a few buddies did. I forgot about it until it was too late to ask for time off. =( He was telling me about a "hidden treasure box" of them.

I love it.

Kittan Zero and Gunmen Symphonia were my favs.

How about you? B))

Kittan zero, Gunmen Symphonia and The Sense of Wonder were all pretty good. The were like watching someones acid trip animated.

Edit:

Or a tribute to previous Gainax productions.

I loved Kiyal's Magical Theme. Hahaha. I'd so watch a whole series about that.

Kittan Zero: epic....loved it. Kittan Kick!

Sense Of Wonder: were they lord genome's sex slaves or something?

Dai Gurren Goodbye: wished i understood the subtitles. Pretty sad though.

Gunmen Symphonia: errr...ok

Ore no XXX wa Uchu Hitotsu: wait what.....someone high on drugs?

Big Building: Someone's DEFINATELY high on drugs.

In honor of the second Gurren Lagann movie coming out in the U.S. this week, here's Gainax's current splash image :)

Posted (edited)

I already own the series, but hot damn I am so going to buy the second movie. There was so much awesomeness in it my TV may asplode.

Gah, the Anime Legends of Gurren Lagann is already out? $40 for the complete series, not bad at all. Anyone who was on the fence about buying the series should definitely jump on this.

I bought the entire series on DVD and wrote 27 poetic aphorisms that express my love for the show, as well as putting together a huge compilation of screen caps (click on the image to make it larger). All text in english naturally :-) :

Can't wait for my Composite Ver. Gurren Lagann to arrive :-)

Thanks Marzan smile.gif @One_Klump - everything can be taken out of context :-)

If you're interested in the movies, rightstuf now carries them, and they ship to Europe. First movie is a little too much retreat retread, and skips far too much, but the second movie is definately packed with at least 12 kinds of awesome.

Thanks, but for now - in terms of DVDs - I'd like to get my hands on Neon Genesis Evangelion - NOT 2.0 but the original series :-)

definitely splurging out my hard earned cash on the 2nd one. And will definitely have to get the american release, since I don't think they'll make a european one.

Wait a minute, have you seen 2.22? Because if not, you are doing yourself a serious injustice.

Posted

No - I haven't. But all of my figures are from the original series - my SOC Spec EVAs are all based on the original, as are my revoltechs. If I go and buy 2.0, I'll be struck by a mental dysonans between the content of my toy collection vs. the content of my DVD collection. Besides, I really like the original from beginning to end and want to have it on DVD :-)

that's cool that you can copy-past marketing speak from store listings. That still doesn't explain why this is over $100 before shipping when it's less than 6 inches tall with zero diecast.

Better engineering?

Anyway everyone is already sold out. Even though is doesn't come out for another 5-6 moths.

Here's my review of Sentinel's Riobot GL. :)

Looks like a work of art. I have it on preorder. I have their Dephine 2nd type which is amazing and the egineering is better than some takara stuff at a larger size point. I am interested to see how this will compare to my SOC GL from Konami

Gurren lagann Blu-Ray set Cost 63,000 yen (about US$721).

But it supposedly has an english dub/sub for the series. and sub only for movies. along with all the parallel works 5 cds and other stuff.

even with everything it's going to have that's WAY the hell too much for a blu-ray set.

Aniplex really goes for the hardcore collector market, don't they? I hope 63,000 yen is retail price and that it can be gotten cheaper other places.

I'm happy with my DVD set and revoltech GL with Wings.

(Who feels a bit like Old Simon at the end... I really need to rewatch this show)
