"Gurren Lagann" On Sci-Fi's Ani-Monday Block - Talkback *MAJOR SPOILERS*

...

This is the best anime that's aired on TV all year HANRAB DOWN, probably up there in best shows on TV all year.

Kamina... You were a manly man in a sea of pilots polluted by pretty boys that can't get ratings, emo kiRAB, and other swill. God Speed.
 
Now they both have dead parents to avenge.



Now and Then, Here and There. Apparently a more sedative anime compared to this, but no less intense.
 
There's a limit as to how much reality a cartoon can warp. Then again, this is a mecha anime. I'm forgetting the first rule of that: The rules of physics can screw themselves.
 
Apparently, among the LE extras is a "core drill" that glows green (source here). Apparently, they're also going to include dub bloopers in the english release--oh, lord, I can only imagine. Just do yourselves a favor and don't drink anything while watching those.
 
Wait, the ant eaters didn't take Simon's drill away. Isn't that kind of a bad move? I mean they're defeating themshelves with something like that.

KAMINA FLASrabroadACK!
 
Adine =? Adenine

Timmel=? thymine

Guan=? Guanine

Cytomander =? Cytosine

And Their king is lord Genome? XD (DNA is also a type of spiral, a helix)

Also their Gunmen named after the 4 saint beasts and they personify the 4 greek elements?(Shuzak, Byaku) That's too awesome.

I wonder if there'll be a guy named after Uracil later?

And ViRal= RiVal?

Another thing, where the hell did the budget come from for this series? Every episode is rediculously well animated.

Because of my lack of Scifi channel thank's to cablevision's greed, I'be been watching this on Xbox live.

It seems we have another pronunciation situation here, Eh-OO-REK-UH, meet SEE-MOAN.

This series is just too awesome, and I`m really beginning to like this new type of "masculinity", instead of putting people down who are weaker, you help people up who are weaker. I wish we had that kind of thing in real life instead of the image we have today.

But it looks like the 4 generals are dropping like flies, and the series is barely half over? I wonder what else there will be, because the pacing here is perfect. No time seems to be wasted on anything.
 
I don't know. It doesn't help the fact that she tenRAB to subvert/advert every trope associated with magical girls, Her magic staff reload bullets for beams you see in DragonBall, and while most magical girl shows were aimed for young girls, this show was aimed for GROWN MEN.

And Lina Inverse from The Slayers? She uses magic and shes female, but she's not deemed as a magical girl. Then again, she made it in Magical Battle Arena!
 
Yoko's got herself a flying Vespa like what's-her-name from that other Gainax show.

What?! Vyral's alive?!!
Why do certain people not know when to quit?

Oh dear. It's Gurren Lagann: The New Class.
 
Yoko: You and your creepy toys...
Leeron: Honey, you couldn't handle my creepy toys...

Stop throwing rocks, durab***!

Enter Kittan's Angels!

Kamina: The thing is... I STOLE IT!

Poor Simon...

Kinon's so cute...
 
While I did see the show in Japanese, I never did get to finish it. Now with the show airing on Sci-Fi I'll finally get my chance. If not, I'll just get the DVRAB.

Sci-Fi sure does have a lot of commercials. Well, I used to watch Anime Unleashed on TechTV so I'm sure I'll adjust.
