Gurren Lagann is one of the best anime shows I have seen in a while. It goes way over the top and enjoys doing it. It is a show that unapologetically pushes the boundaries of absurdity, and makes it seem not so absurd.
This DVD will have the English Dub tracks, as well as the original Japanese tracks. If you only want the Japanese version, go to the store right now, Gurren Lagann Volumes 1-3 Subtitles only is on the shelves for only $20 a disc, nine episodes per disc. This looks to be a more traditional anime DVD release. $60 Special Edition, $35 regular edition, you're looking at two discs covering the first eight episodes or so. The Drill LED looks to be pretty cool and the box art also seems stylish. This should be a pretty good release.
That's about $18 per four episodes of Dubbed versions, as opposed to $20 for nine episodes of the Sub only version. Shop wisely!
Epic Show...Epic FAIL Dub! October 5, 2008

Everyone that has watched Gurren Lagann knows that it is Epic and kicks all common sense to the curb. Its an amazingly unique show much like that of FLCL in the sense of lots of satire. If you can't stand reading subs then you shouldn't think twice about buying this. But if you're fine with subs go buy the entire series subbed right now! Now if you're one of the people who own the sub and are like HEY I WANNA GET THE DUBBED SO I DONT HAVE TO READ AND STUFF...well put that out of your mind because the dub is atrocious, or at least to me since I watched the series with the japanese dialogue...which was EPIC as well. The dub is lacking more or less in deep voices...You can't have a Kamina or adult Simon yelling "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM" in a semi high pitched trunks voice...sorry it doesn't work, or at least not for me...!
Best Anime since "Evangelion" October 27, 2008

Studio GAINAX, the creators of "FLCL", "Gunbuster" and the infamous "Neon Genesis Evangelion" have another brilliant piece of work on their hands. While Evangelion subverted the convetions of the giant robot genre, this series embraces the cliches and puts a whole new spin on them. The animation is beautiful (aside from episode 4) and remains so for the duration of the series. I highly recommend this show to fans of Mecha Anime, Evangelion and the other works of GAINAX. It may not be too sophisticated, but it has a lot of spirit and is generally just plan fun.
Not often i'll spend 70 bucks for 9 episodes of anime, but Gainax makes me. November 21, 2008

Only other time I payed this much for anime was FLCL (6 episodes, 80 bucks)
Now I've payed 70 for the first 9 episodes of Gurren Lagann, having bought the first, sub-only release, and now rebuying for this. But I'm not buying the new releases for the dub. I'm buying them for three reasons. First, I wanted the artbox. It opens by lifting the top side, which open's the Gurren's mouth. The second is the special features. The first releases only had the show, nothing more, and while the features on this are still pretty light, they're better than nothing. Finally, the Core Drill. While not as nice looking as the drill that comes with the Revoltech figure (it's a LITTLE stubby), it evens out in the fact that when you flip a switch, the golden drill glows green with spiral energy. Now, I can go out in public, flip the switch, point into the air and shout "MINE IS THE DRILL THAT SHALL PIERCE THE HEAVENS! ORE O DARE DATTO OMOTE YAGERU?"
 "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?" November 27, 2008

From the masterminds who brought us Neon Genesis Evangelion and Fooly Cooly comes one of the years biggest, craziest, and most hyper anime titles to reach the U.S. this year. Thus far the plot isn't too intricate, with your stereotypical shonen heroes and sequences recycled into a new setting. But that's not all there is to it. The characters personalities are so fiery and passionate that you'll already feel connected to them by the end of this boxset. Personally, the most impressive thing about this show is the look of it. All the variety of colors they used to illustrate the night scenes or the moments when they were underground captured the atmosphere perfectly. Well except for episode 4 where the animation looked really stiff. But the music was engaging, the battles were well choreographed, and the story even threw in some shocking plot developments near the end. The LED drill light is just as cool as I'd hoped too, however there are a couple reasons I docked this set a star. Firstly, while I liked the three main characters and maybe even a couple secondary ones, alot of the other tag-along characters seemed pointless and annoying. Also, all the "manly" speeches made by Kamina became torture after about episode 2. They were funny at first but enough was enough. Overall I'd recommend this series to those who like giant mechas, bikini wearing babes, and epic battles screaming with energy.
