It can't be as bad as their Get Backers dubs, can it?
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
-
-
oh it is
"We stick to our crazy guns and kick logic out the door"
replaces
"Go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb" -
The translations seem okay to me. With all the bitching I was expecting something horrible. (Not really from here too much, but yeah.)
The spoiler is pretty funny though. I wish they'd stream the dub though, I wanna hear it.
-
It's not even the dub yet, just the subs.
…
I can understand some translation changes. "Gurren Brigade" is flat wrong, Gurren Gang or Gurren Team would have been more accurate, but I mean come on.
These people have no marketing savvy. They treat all their series in the same way - GL is a show about high-octane, outrageous fun and action. These subs are so...underwhelming. And poorly done. :|
The translations seem okay to me.
"Great Dimensional Waterfall?"
"Stick to your guns?"KAMINA DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A GUN IS!

Speaking of the site with that spoiler paragraph, anyone have the sauce?

"Great Dimensional Waterfall?"
"Stick to your guns?"KAMINA DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A GUN IS!
This is still just the free stream though, right? A preview, if you will. There's still a chance they're not what's going to appear on the final DVD.
(Then again, both of those really don't bother me, either) But alas..

Isn't "Gurren Brigade" what everyone translates it as?
-
I'm probably sounding like a fanboy getting in a tizzy, but in reality I'm not that upset (/a/ is worse, I'm brooding over my report card ._.) it's just fudging stupid.
As was the case with Fate/stay night, if word gets out the product is bad, it won't sell. FSN was a huge property with a robust online presence, and its DVD performance was anything but notable.
Compare with Haruhi, which sold 60,000/each DVD. Most anime DVDs barely break 1,000.
There's still time to make edits to the subs if we complain loud enough, I wager. I mean, within two hours, 15,000 people learned of this monstrosity. :D
@Geg:

As an Anonymous said, "someone starts the translation and later subbers run with it just for the sake of consistency". "kick reason to the curb" was a creative way of translating the original line (check lurkmore), "Gurren Brigade" follows the same idea.
"brigade" is a workable but inaccurate way of translating "-dan", which is "group", "gang", or "team". afk started the whole affair with Haruhi, and it hasn't really gone away since.
-
Brigade sounds cool, and means pretty much the same thing as team or gang.

What's so spoilery about the summary paragraph?

What's so spoilery about the summary paragraph?
It seems to have been fixed by now, but the original was something like:
"Kamina and his gang escape to the surface, where they battle Aliens who put them underground. Their objective is to drop the moon".

Haha wow. They should've just ended with "Also Nia dies".
-

Best summary ever.
EDIT:

HOLY SHIT
That's fucking awesome. But where's Genome?
-
It's such a shame that after the second time jump Roshiu looked exactly like the leader of his childhood cult…
Because he was HOT during the first time jump. (yep, the fangirl speaking here)
That picture is quite cool, saved it.
-
At least Simon turned out semi-manly-in-an-old-way. Rossiu was just gross ):
VIRAL STAYS YOUNG AND moeGAR FOREVER thank you Genome

God…we MUST have that pic as hi-res as possible, it´s too small to make it a wallpaper...
-
I just realized those aren't rocks, but heaps of dead anti-spirals.
Awesome.
-
I didn't notice them at all until you pointed it out! O__o
I remember how aghast I was when I saw the locked up Earth-like place with former Spiral beings lying side by side, with no life at all…
-
Sadly, that's the highest resolution the image exists in.
Same size as the one on Gainax's site.
-
wow, I also find it funny that all the Women around Kittan are his blood relations…poor Kittan

-
Holy crap that's awesome, kinda weird how Kittan is surrounded by his sisters though. Also I just noticed that the baby(forgot his name sorry) is on Kittan's lap, hilarious.
-
someone will have that vector'd eventually

Oh wow, I had no idea my question would actually get answered.
Check this out, folks.
In the prologue of the first episode of Gurren-Lagann, we see a cocky Harlock-esque captain on the bridge of an enormus battleship prepare to engage countless enemies in an otherwordly outerspace battle. This scene has almost no relevance to the rest of the series, and whenever it's brought up Gainax gives vague answers which often contradict one another. Gainax has mentioned that if Gurren-Lagann is popular enough, it may get a second season or some other kind of animated treat for fans. Does Gurren-Lagann seem popular enough to meet Gainax's expectations? If so, what are the chances of that amazing prologue getting animated?
Response:
@Ask:
Based on the phrasing of your question, I can't tell if you've watched the entire Gurren Lagann television series. I hope this statement isn't a "spoiler," but the pre-title prologue of the first Gurren Lagann episode does relate to the final quarter of the TV series story. Viewers that have watched the entire Gurren Lagann anime series may argue that specific details depicted in the episode one prologue differ from the situations that occur near the end of the series. Technically that argument is true, but I think that it's a pedantic argument.
Anime episodes are typically produced in the order that they're broadcast. When the Gurren Lagann television series went into production, its animation staff clearly had an impression of how the story would develop, allowing animators to create the foreshadowing prologue scene. But at the time the first episode was produced, Gainax's animators couldn't have known precisely how episodes near the end of the series would be animated, nor exactly how character personalities and speech styles would have evolved. So viewers should accept the first episode prologue as a hint of what is to come - a vague glimpse into the way the series will develop rather than a literal excerpt from the end of the story.
This early prologue informs viewers from the very outset that the Gurren Lagann story will eventually take on a galactic scale and setting. The prologue sequence's obvious homage to Captain Harlock also prepares viewers to expect an anime series that relies heavily upon homage and inspiration from previous anime. In fact, after stripping away Gurren Lagann's references and inspirations from earlier anime including Getter Robo, Captain Harlock, St Seiya, Otoko Juku, Gunbuster, and Evangelion, there's really not much left.
Finally, regarding the possibility of more Gurren Lagann anime, in one sense, there already is more Gurren Lagann anime. The Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann game for the Nintendo DS, released in Japan on October 25, 2007, included a bonus anime episode. The episode was set between the events of TV episodes 5 & 6 and featured two original characters that appear in the game but not in the broadcast television series. The possibility of still more new animation is uncertain. The TV series conclusion justifies the assertion that the series is resolved and finished, but can also, just as easily, support continued development. Animation studio Gainax isn't alien to producing sequels and spin-off animation, but also doesn't continue its franchises frequently enough to make the possibility of a Gurren Lagann sequel probable. My personal gut feeling is that the 27 episode Gurren Lagann television series held back nothing, and fulfilled everything that its animators hoped to accomplish, which would make additional animation unnecessary. So I don't anticipate an announcement of future Gurren Lagann anime, but I can't discount the possibility of an eventual movie version re-release or a sequel cum revival a decade from now, as was done with Gunbuster.
Discuss.
I'll save thoughts for later.

So. No idea if this is old news but

KiyohVic Mignogna as Viral
-
lol Asuka as Yoko.
Vic as Viral kind of fits since he's also voicing Ikkaku in Bleach, and they both have the same Japanese actor.
-
Vic is way too calm as Ikakku, so I doubt he'll pull off Viral either.
And Nami is playing Nia? Lol.
-
Are there anymore of those Gainax done wallpaper images?
-
Naruto herself as Darry. Huh.
Always good to see Greg Ayres. I love his work.
-
-
Vic is way too calm as Ikakku, so I doubt he'll pull off Viral either.
He also voiced Broly, I think..

Darry has Naruto's US VA…

Wow, that was random.

I was banned from the HxH thread.

So now he decides to spread his AIDS to Guerren Lagann.
Reminding me I need to finish this series.
has order(or anyone not shitty) finished subbing it all yet?
-
Look up BSS anon or SS anon on Tokyo Tosho.
-
Order's still only up to 19, and KAA's released DVD ripped subs from eps 1-5. I don't really like BSS-Anon's subs to be honest. The only real problem with Order's is their romanizations, which I'll just fix manually once KAA releases more episodes.

better than sticking to your crazy guns
how does a Kamina know what a gun is
