@Kei:
I'm pretty sure we're never going to see the prologue scene in this series. The DVD commentary pretty much debunked that theory.
I'm not so sure what to think. Gainax seems to be poking us in the gut by being secretive about the scene, then we have the comments of "it's a dream!" and "you'll never see this again!" as if they're teasing us.
But some of the events seem to suggest it will happen. I mean, after twenty five we already know who the Beastman sub-commander is, given what Lord Genome said in twenty four.
I'm still hoping it'll be the last scene in the whole show, that would be a pretty epic end and leaves room for a potential season two (though I wouldn't want to see it).
So long as Tetsukan survives, I'll still put my faith in that opening appearing late in the show.

OST RELEASE DATE
http://community.livejournal.com/gurren_lagann/57373.html2 CD's and a DVD, hot damn
Opera version of Fight tha power I want
-
BTW, what's chouginga mean again?
Hyper Galaxy I think.
And yeah, that opera rap is basically what helped make that the best scene in the series so far for me.
-
I don't even know why that worked so well but I haven't felt chills like that since original time watching GGG Final 2
-
Music is what truly makes anime epic. Overtaken playing during the March to Arlong Park, The Symphony playing during Gomu Gomu no Storm, etc. Cannot wait for a full ROW ROW single.
-
Must have OST. What's the DVD have on it I wonder?
FLCL and Cowboy Bebop are two series I can think of that wouldn't have been as amazing without music.

Haha. I didn't even see that link.
Has there been any news on the ADV dub?
-
The ending will be everyone saying how much they love Simon over and over again as he floats over the earth during armageddon. Obviously.
Am I the only one not fond of the KILL THE UNIMPORTANT CHARACTERS OFF-orgy from the last couple episodes. I mean, people SHOULD die. But it seems like that's all that's happened for the last three episodes. They go somewhere, Simon is bogged down in some "I need to channel the Spirit Bomb in order to cream these guys" kind of situation while the protagonist canon fodder dies in a montage of "I'm dying oh so manly". I agree with Carter about the ending ruining it,but it's not my favorite character dying off that I care about, it's that Gainax seems to be stalling for time until the finale and it damn well better deliver and much more or this series will have started great but left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I mean, I love Viral and all,but Roshiu could show up and strange him to death with his ponytail and I wouldn't care as long as the story progressed some more.

You're new to this thead aren't you.
-
As long as the characters being killed off go out in an incredibly cool and macho way, I'm certainly not adverse to it.
-
I have nothing against characters dying when there is meaning and it is done right
-
Every single death in this series has been done exquisitely. I mean, look back in this thread. People go nuts every single time somebody dies. So, I guess they're doing it right.
-
lol. I said in my post it's not the deaths, it's that every episode is just a lead up or poor excuse to show yet another character go out in this Top Gun-style blaze of glory. Y'know ten episodes back they were doing other things besides one kamikaze mission after another. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't two episodes in a row of basically action scene- Death Scene- short action-Simon and Viral charge, next episode wash,rinse and repeat. I mean, I really didn't expect
! Kittan's death mainly because after Kamina it would be TOO predictable for the exact same thing to happen to Kamina-lite/Kittan.
Not to mention, the more people that die, the less of an impact deaths have on the audience in general. I mean at this point, it's not that big of a deal because the heroes are dropping like flies. So I kinda expect Yoko to go down or Viral to lose an arm or something.
-
Haha but the deaths haven't lost impact yet have they?
Ep 25 related: Oh gawd I just died of major happiness….. and then I came back to life just so I could die again...this happened about 9000^infinite times until I ran out of deaths to die of.

@Mr.:
FLCL and Cowboy Bebop are two series I can think of that wouldn't have been as amazing without music.
For FLCL, at least, the music inspired some of the scenes. The bridge under which Naota and Mamimi hang out is very similar to the bridge in One Life's music video.
Epic classical music makes any scene better though, y/y?
-
Eh, I wouldn't say so. Akagi wouldn't have been improved with a classical or even jazz track, the techno gave it unearthly sounds that sort of fit the 'supernatual' feel of the story.
-
Maybe I should have said "Epic classical music used sparingly in a series where the regular background music is not such"
-
cough J-Ark intro scene, Ode to Joy in Eva 24
-
Taleran misser of points
-
damn these images man…
!
! -
Where is Advent`? He seems late with the GameTrailers upload for Kittan's scene. :|
-
I added We Are the Champions onto the last 3minutes of Kittan's scene and it seemed to mesh quite well
-
Someone needs to update Wikipedia's pictures, they all expired or something
-
might aswell post this here
from someone on /m/, a rip of the last 4.5 mins of audio before ED in 25
ROW ROW FIGHT DA OPERA - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EATMLBRD

I just caught up with the series and it definitely is as great as everyone says it is. It's definitely one of my favorites.

Just amazing…
Need the real "raw raw fight the power opera" mp3... -
only seen this so far on /m/ but
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR 26 / 27
! Tadashi Hiramasu on Gurren-Lagann 26: "I have to admit it's the most atmospheric and introspective episode in the entire series. The first few minutes that I didn't storyboard are probably some of the best action sequence in the production but the rest is all my work and a reflection of what I wanted to do in my participation with this show. I'm kind of an quiet-bordering-on-moe type of guy so I was glad to be left with the episode that 'finishes' Nia's storyline."
! Hiroyuki Imaishi on Gurren-Lagann 27: "It's really the most key animation heavy episode in the whole series by far. Not because we planned it like that but because by the time we noticed how much key animators we had already working on the episode there was no way of going back at that point. laughs But well, the sheer adrenaline I'm trying to portray is even above Dead Leaves in fast-paced action so it's a good fit."
! 70%!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
haha there needs to be a 70% image to outrank the crazy simon 40% one
-
Is it "You Yoshinari" who is doing the last episode? If so, hopes for the prologue as an epilogue are riding high, since was he was the one who animated the prologue.
-
Not sure if it's old news or not but I figured I'd post the link anyways
-
Dont know if this has been asked/mentioned, but anyone know of a group other than Black Order doing Gurren?
The fact that they havent released an episode since the 30th of August is whats keeping me from watching the next couple of episodes; that and the fact that simon gets on my nerves.
Also, does everyone here speak Japanese? I cant see how people can talk about episodes that were last released August 3oth for so long.
-
this episode was EPIC
edit: new sig

Well most people use Bullet Speed Subs for the current episodes so I guess go with them.
-

Black order isn't the only subs.Try bss anon and adtrw
-
I think he means for archiving purposes dudes.
And no, there are no archive-worthy subbers that are doing GL right now, all of them except Order stopped when ADV announced the license. So, the only option for archive-quality would be BO unless you take the (recommended) route of using [Clock-Less]'s subs, which are pretty close to perfect and look great on the clockless raw.
@Natty:

Not everyone sees the episode at the same time. A good portion of us watch the episode about thirty minutes after it airs on MoonTube and follow it during the airing in the Futaba, Yotsuba, Links or AS topics. Then, the RAW comes out on TT and we leech it, subs in .ass form coming the next day and a hardcode that night. Uploads for the hardcode around afternoon the following day.
I don't think anyone in this topic speaks Japanese or read Japanese, but we can identify some stuff and GL isn't really dialogue-centric so not understanding much wouldn't take away from the enjoyment. If need be there are a ton of reference folks spread amongst other communities who can say something.

I saw that earlier. UTF is the best ever.
-
Just caught up since I missed 3 episodes… Wow.... If Kittan goes I might have to stop watching... This episode got me kinda chocked up...
P.S.Where are those weird looking pics coming from? Like the one with the Ganmen sucker punching each other. Or the one with the robot from the show with a giant guitar?
-
A fellow over at the /m/ board of 4chan by the name of UTF. He makes the models himself, often taking requests of poses to put them in.
