Some TTG-L DS game stuff:
http://community.livejournal.com/gurren_lagann/156484.html
@Live:
I've finally beated the game for TTGL and even though the story do follow the ending in some ways (seriously speaking), there are a few changes and differences in the game compare to the anime. So I'm not sure if the game can be consider canon.
- For the fact, we know that Nia have an older brother, whom he's also half beast half human (I do need someone to confirm this).
- Instead of the AU illusion, Simon is back in Jiiha Village.
- We don't get to see Simon and Kinon chasing after Rossiu in his attempt for suicide
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann does not make an appearance but instead is a special move that you obtain in Ep 50. You're still Gurren Lagann
- Boota of him transforming is not shown.
- "俺達を、誰だと思ってやがる!!!" [Who the hell do you think we are] is a sonic boom base attack that makes your opponent dizzy for 30 second.
- You battle Anti-Spirals
- The wedding was taken place inside a church, not outside like the anime.
- The entire quote before forming Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann like from the anime, only consisted of Nia, Yoko, Leeron, Viral and Simon.
- We do not see Kittan Kissing Yoko
- Only Viral did a better job voicing in the quote than the rest. The other 4 barely put much of an effort or feelings into the quote. They sounded like they were literally reading it off from a script.
Simon looks so much fucking better in this epilogue…
EDIT:
6th DVD Cover.
Speculations:
7th-Rossiu
8th-Viral
9th-Simon(With attire post ep 23)
To address some of the blogger's points:
1. Nia had thousands of dead older brothers and sisters who were killed by Lord Genome. She wouldn't have one who is a Beastman, though it's not impossible for one to have been alive when she was (though from how she acted, it seems very improbable).
2. Tengen Toppa might appear, but Chou Ginga and Ark were totally omitted from the game.
…
Also, I think Simon looks worse in the game epilogue than the anime. In the game it looks like he's some sort of renegade a la Viral, he wouldn't have clothes like that. After his coat disintegrated, the Kenobi cowl would be fine.
I can't tell if he still has that massive malformed chin, though. That's really the only bug I have with Simon's post twenty three design - it came out of nowhere and was ugly. He looked so much better before.
Not sure if this has been posted here, but here we have Garlock and Boota looking rather cool (<-anyone catch the reference?)

Oh shi-
What an ugly logo.
If you don't like it, complain. I know I did.
Just Google ADV's website and send them comments on their suggestion box. If they don't follow the feedback and them complain about people not buying stuff (thus risking bankruptcy like Geneon), tough. We opted to help. :getlost:
So I finally watched the series. It kicked ass. Kinda wondered what happened to the part at the beginning of episode 1…. but w/e. Will I buy the US release by ADV? Well, I am a douche when it comes to buying DVDs now since I have a blu-ray player. So I'm gonna hold off because I think as a newer series, they should at least release it on one of the formats. I also wouldn't want to buy it twice. So yea, ADV, step up.
Are they gonna release it on HD-DVD? I hope so.

You act as if Gurren Lagann doesn't sell it'd cost the company dearly. It wont. I'm probably saying this to the wrong crowd as you're all pretty hardcore fans, but GL is a "fad" anime. It isn't something that's gonna be remembered. Its popularity is fading away with every passing month now that it's over.
The only way I see it picking back up is if it gets on adult swim or some shit.
What?
I was under the impression that TTGL was Gainax's primary source of income at the moment, and it probably would hurt them if DVD sales suck.
I was referring to the ADV dubbing company.
What the hell kind of reasoning is it to say because a series won't be popular forever the companies won't care if it sells or not?
It's costing ADV money to release it so of course they're going to be bummed if it's not a success.
Again, I didn't say that. Mali was kinda implying they'd go bankrupt if the series didn't sell.
Okay.
So what does it being a ''fad'' or whatever you said have to do with any of that?
Are Revoltechs poseable?

You've obviously never heard of the Mazinkaiser OVA, right?

I could probably find a post one or two years old from you saying the same thing about Haruhi.
Funny how that worked out, huh?
Are Revoltechs poseable?
Yes.
16 poses
And FLCL
and Cowboy Bebop
et fucking cetera
TTGL is as big as a Galaxy!
I watched all 27 episodes I don't think that was stated anywhere. Don't know how big the Super spiral space is, for all we know that could be a pocket dimension.
Are Revoltechs poseable?
Thats the whole points of Revoltechs.
Read my last few posts here.
[several images of revoltechs in various poses]
HURF DURF CAN YOU POSE THEM
^lol
Does anyone know where to find sub of the episode 5.5 thing?
I thought the pictures were of different models. My bad, I guess.
>>5.5.
TokyoTosho Lolfang's sub for it.
It's not that great though. :|
Did BSS ever sub all of the episodes or what? I was trying to get their subs of every episode, but I couldn't find any BSS for anything before 18.
Speaking of this stuff, did anyone ever sub uncut episode 6?
What's episode 5.5 about?
@Mr.:

They might have stopped releasing hard-subs, but the soft-subs are on rapidsearch.
@Geg:

Search for "Not Nyoro~n subs" or "totally not nyoro~n subs".
@Really:
What's episode 5.5 about?
Gurren Gang is resting in a canyon when they get attacked by another model of the Fang Bull ganmen from the first episode. They chase it in Lagann, but Gurren gets stolen by a Beastman named Jiggytails. Kamina steals Jiggytail's ganmen and names it Usagon (rabbit + horse), he combines with Simon to make Usagon-Lagann, which is a really bad mech.
They manage to knock down Gurren, Lagann combines with it and Jiggytails jumps out. Yoko corners him, but Chidori (another Beastman from earlier in the episode) combines her mech with Usagon and the two flee.
Chidori and Jiggytails play a large part in the DS game - each time they appear, they try to steal Gurren, Lagann, or Gurren-Lagann, but they always fail.
Hence, "The Team Rocket of Gurren-Lagann".
Err…what exactly is the difference between soft and hard subs?
From what I understand soft subs are just scripts added to the video file correct? Or is that something different.
Yeah
Hard subs are like Kaizoku-Fansubs, with the text and everything already embedded in the video

Haruhi WAS a fad anime. Too big of one. When you have groups of people all over the world dancing a lame weeaboo dance in the middle of the street without sadly getting hit by a truck you know something is seriously wrong.
Haven't heard of people rampaging around towns with orange winged sunglasses with their finger pointed to the sky yet. But that actually sounds kinda awesome in text.
What? Do you know what a fad is? People obsessing over it doesn't make it a fad.
How can you call a show a fad if its popularity hasn't petered out yet? TTGL potentially could be, but I'm pretty sure Haruhi has solidified itself as something that's going to be popular for a loooong time.
no idea why though
Sorry if this was posted before-
!
BTW are the uncensored eps. being subbed and put on the net?
You should be sorry for more than it being posted before
you guys YOU GUYS
the drama CD is like the most adorable thing ever
basically starts out with Leeron being fabulous as usual Kamina being the typical rowdy delinquent in a Japanese high school, stuff happens, giant robots, VIRAL BEING REALLY REALLY CUTE FUNNY
it's. amazing.

I'm pretty sure most of you have heard about the GL Union Flag - now you get to vote on it! I want to see the vote count hit 40%, if only for a little while.
…
Edit: Mission Accomplished! Man, what a great way to end my weekend. :D
Ahaha, oh wow.
I'm pretty sure most of you have heard about the GL Union Flag - now you get to vote on it! I want to see the vote count hit 40%, if only for a little while.
I dun see why you would think a little while. Right now it says 54%.
They left in the Death Note text at the end.
That is really all I can say.

An amazing JAM PROJECTxTTGL [MAD]
HOLY SHIT
I think I just shat myself.
lol at the Light Swimming pic.
We should have kept the vote at 40%. I mean, the article was perfect enough as is, but.
@Telegraph:
We selected 20 of the best submissions and after a week-long online poll the sunglasses-dragon has emerged as the overwhelming favourite, with 55 per cent of the vote.
Even when we factor in questionable voting patterns (the winning design came from the back of the field with a surge of votes in the last few days) and the cynical wit of online readers, the choice seems a bizarre one.
The Norwegian designer, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he intended the flag to represent the union of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in a modern, cool light.
The dragon itself was inspired by a Japanese anime television series.
"It represents shouting "UNION!" and joining together; kicking reason to the curb and doing the impossible; fighting the power, and piercing the heavens," he said
And what impact does he think the new flag would have on foreigners like himself?
"That the UK is awesome. I just hope they don't think it's a pirate flag.
"Actually, if this design is rejected as a common flag perhaps the Crown might file it for future use as a privateer ensign on the high seas or in outer space."
That is awesome.
Wow
That's kind of embarrassing
Hold it.
So the Gurren Lagann logo is the new union jack?
wuuuuuuuut
HOLY DEAR FUCK. Wow, just wow…
55% though. It is amazing. The next best was don't change it all with 10%.
HUGE diff.
It'd be so great if they actually did make that their new flag. A thought, if that did happen…would an entire country be sued for illegal use of a copyrighted image?
That would be what I would call comedy.
