Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Studio: GAINAX
Episodes: 27
Orig. Air Date April 1, 2007

One of the more popular shows airing this season and not a single thread. Decided to finally make one. Delicious copy pasta for most of this!

STORY
Major Characters
Simon
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b.../shimon_02.gif
Simon is a fourteen year old (though Gainax supposedly removed character ages from the official site, so this may be moot) digger from Jiiha village. One day, he finds a mysterious drill-shaped item, which is later revealed to be the key for a head-shaped robot he dug up some time earlier. With the help of the robot, Kamina, and Yoko, he fights off a Gunmen who broke into the village. While finishing the Gunmen off with a drill-like attack, they reach the surface world.

Kamina
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...ren/kamina.gif
Kamina is a young man from Jiiha village who dreams of leaving the village and go to the surface, which he saw as a kid. He's very passionate about his goals, expressing his wishes through energetic speeches, which seems to affect all those who hear him. He convinces Simon to help him with his plan to drill through the roof of the village and get to the world above, but the plan failed and he was put in prison. He left the village shortly thereafter with the help of Simon and a young girl named Yoko, as a result of fighting a Gunmen, who broke into the village from the surface

Yoko
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...urren/yoko.gif
Yoko is a girl from Jiiha's neighboring village Ritona, who had been chasing the Gunmen which entered Jiiha village. She wields an extensive range of firearms and has previous experience fighting Gunmen. She uses her marksmanship from afar to assist Kamina and Simon, while they pilot their gunmens. Although she is of the same age group as Simon, she is mature and one of the most rational of the group.

Viral
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...rren/viral.gif
A Beastman and member of the Human Eradication Army. HOT-BLOODED and quickly becomes Kamina's 'rival' in the series.

Nia
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...nap-446819.jpg
SO MOE, I'M GONNA DIE. Nia is a mysterious young girl found sleeping in a capsule in the middle of a dump site by Simon. She has had no prior contact with humans except her father. She is very curious, pure and innocent, because of growing up sheltered in a peaceful environment, away from all the battles occurring in the outside world. During her travels with the Gurren Brigade, she discovers the harsh reality of the world and develops a strong empathy towards Simon.

MECHA
Ganmen
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...ric_Ganmen.jpg
The type of mecha used in the series. The name itself as a whole means "face" and can be broken down into "gun" and "man" — unsurprisingly, the mecha themselves are centered around faces. Gunmen sport a variety of weaponry — the more primitive models only use large clubs or bare hands, while more advanced ones use cannons or beam weapons. Gunmen are apparently powered by "fighting spirit", and prior to the events in the anime none were piloted by human beings.

Lagann
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...ren/lagann.jpg
- Simon's personal Ganman. Significantly smaller than most, it's pretty powerful in it's own right. Capable of forming small drills on it's forearms or combining both legs to form a larger, stronger one. This mech also features the ability to 'hack' into other Gunmen by using it's 'leg-drills,' taking over either aspects of the 'victim' or absorbing it's likeness into itself.

Gurren
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...ren/gurren.jpg
Piloted by Kamina. Bulky, slow, and cumbersome, but stronger than the Lagann in offensive capabilities. The big, black sunglasses were added to the Gunman per Kamina's wishes.

Gurren-Lagann
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...a_r2_c2_f4.jpg
As the name implies, the combination of Gurren and Lagann. Lagann literally drills into Gurren and the two form a far more powerful and formidable Gunman, christened Gurren-Lagann by Kamina during its first battle. It's trademark attack is the 'Giga Drill Breaker,' among other ab-libbed, spur of the moment moves.

Enki
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...urren/enki.jpg
Viral's advanced Gunman, pictured here without it's helmet. One of the few mechs to actually use ammunition, this one is a swift fighter wielding two katana-like blades, a sickle-like head projectile, and a headpiece that fires medium-ranged particle beams. So much win.

My Thoughts
I don't like mecha anime much. I'll watch it every now and then if I'm bored but I never actually dedicate myself to a series. Gurren-Lagann's the first time in years that I've thoroughly enjoyed a mecha anime. The fight scenes are well-choreographed and so incredibly over-the-top that it's hard to take your eyes off of them. Animation is top-notch stuff, though may turn a few viewers off. It's kind of wacky, as while the plot gets darker along the way, the show seems to naturally mix comedy into it's more serious moments often. There are several exceptions when shit hits the fan and comedy is completely left on the sidelines, but all-in-all Gainax somehow makes it work.

That said, I'm also not a big fan of Gainax. Evangelion pissed me off and I hate that series with a passion. I've watched a few episodes of Gunbuster 2 and liked it (which is interesting, considering the multiple nods to previous Gainax works included in GL), but as a whole the studio's done little to keep my attention.

The series is currently up to episode 18, but it was recently licensed by ADV. A few fansubbers received 'cease and desist' letters from the publishing group, and thus most groups dropped the series. The only ones who seem unnerved by the warnings are [anon] and BSS. RAWs are typically released Saturday evening or Sunday morning, with soft-subs in the latter's evening or Monday. Hardsubs are usually on/off and a little bit more difficult to come by, but you can always check out veoh.com. People there tend to upload full episodes to view, ala Youfail.

By the way, if you're an avid EBAUMSWORLDER don't visit f/a/ilname Saturday or Sunday, as you'll get spoiled out of your minds.

Gurren-Lagann's quickly getting up there on my list of favorite anime. Sure, Gunbuster and Diebuster's above it, but they also finished after six episodes each. There's little doubt in my mind that GL'll take the top spot on my list before the end. After all, they have Kamina in Nia in the list of characters! Oh, and "happily ever after" still makes me cheer every time I hear it after its' appearance in two of the most epic episodes so far.

Black order have pressed foreword too, they're just being like Natashi Subs were with E7 though...
And that's no good.

I was skeptical about this show at first, but decided to watch it after seeing some screenshots and reading favorable reviews...

Turns out to be one of the most fast-paced and content-packed shows I've seen in a while... I also appreciate the growth of Simon throughout the series (though the first episode kinda gives it away).

I'm curious though, when did Gurren Lagann's helmet lose one of the 'horns' (or the curved samurai helmet decorations, whatever they are called)? It shows it damaged in the picture provided above, and never in the anime do I remember a part being lopped off.

Gainax shows make me happy inside. This is definitely a very interesting anime. The fast pace and constant action are really a jolt to the brain. Really though, the action can be repetitive and lackluster but it's great that they throw in such interesting characters. Just got episodes 17 and 18 and I think I will wait until a few more from this arc are released before I get back into it.

Originally it was a full circle, but it was broken when Gurren Lagann broke it off Enki's first helm.

I actually love the symphonic track that often use in the background, very uplifting, epic even. >w<;;

i could have sworn there was already a thread for this.... but oh well.
Of what i have seen of the series i LOVE! only thing i dont love is the slow rate at which order is subbing it..so im holding off on watching it untill there are afew more episodes released before i watch much more, but its got that zannyness of Gainax of which i love <3 so i will deffently keep watching it

Black Order released episodes 11 - 13 so there you go.

Downloading the raws and then getting BSS-anon's subtitle files is the only way to go. They're released pretty quickly (usually about a day or two after the first raw gets released,) but very good. Best speedsubbing I've seen.

I thought about making a thread for this after the first few episodes, but I feared that if I were to make the thread, the shows AWESOME would drop significantly. Obviously this hasn't happened.

I'm not even gonna lie, this is the BEST anime I've ever seen. Any anime that makes me want to wait for each new episode every week is always good in my book, but this is something completely different and new. I've seen some epic anime before (GTO, Kaleido Star, etc,) but this just goes above and beyond them. If Gainax can pull off a good ending (something that's always been very hard for them,) it will be hands-down, a perfect 10/10 rating from me.

Also, a soundtrack can't come soon enough.

Aye, I'm definitely with you there. One of the more enjoyable animes I've watched and if Gainax doesn't screw up it'll definitely be in the "best ever" list I've got in my mind.

Also, the raws are in HD, so I'll definitely be holding onto them since the chances of it coming over at that resolution are pretty low.

Summing up the most recent episode

http://xs315.xs.to/xs315/07182/explosion.jpg

Pretty much sums it up

Black order and KAA joined forces to present the DVD-quality subs of Gurren Laggan to the Standard KAA form.

News be here

holy episode 24 was O_o
didn't see that one coming...i thought about something like that...but never before 26...or 27 really

I just got around to watching episode 23, absolutely fucking phenomenal episode. If the ending to this show is anything but "fucking epic," it will be slightly disappointing.

I'll have to get on downloading 24 when BSS-anon releases an .ass for it.

Also, I think according to Nipponsei, in a month from now, on October 3rd, the OST will be released. That's what I think, and my best guess looking at the Gurren Lagann website. I'll just have to wait a month and see.

adtrw already subbed ep 24 quite nice subs rly

Wow, just caught episode 24. This show has become absolutely insane and when I think back to where they were, it makes me laugh. Episode 25's preview has me worried, but if what I think will happen actually occurs, wild shit is basically guaranteed.

I can't wait to cringe when the inevitable GL dub pops up in a while.

Oh, if the US market is anything to go by, it'll get the first 3 dvds dubbed and then adv will focus thier energys on Kanon or sumsuch shit like that an' leave lagan to rot with sub only releases that will never be supported except for the hardest of Hardcore.

I'm onto, you, Voltron: destroyer of shows!
http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1...rofdubscg4.png

Ep 25.

Words simply fail. This show. This music. These characters.

This is the single greatest anime ever. Ever.

If you've seen episode 25, go ahead and check out the image. If not, go see the episode or catch up. This is getting ridiculous, and I was right back then about 25 being something crazy.

Here's to hoping they end the show well.

Spiral King, what is the Gurren Lagann's power level?

IT'S OVER...ONE MILLION!

WHAT, ONE MILLION!?

Okay, terrible joke, but goddammit, that's what I thought when I saw it.

I haven't said it enough, but... so... damned... EPIC. I think we can all agree that the only bad thing now about Gurren Lagann's ending is that it will end (and be replaced by Maple Story the next week.)

Also, damned near 100% certain that I'll be importing the soundtrack(s) and ripping them to FLAC or something. Blah better have a tracker ready on the forums by then.

Manly tears.

As I was saying in chat, I actually got teary-eyed. I haven't felt like that since David the fucking Gnome died. Since Optimus Prime died. Cartoons and most media just don't have the same kind of affect they had on me when I was a little kid. Fucking awesome directing, animation, and writing in this episode.

Woah, woah, fight da powa with a new av.

I'll keep an eye out for the OST, there's a ton of tracks I'd love to get my hands on.

The OST is scheduled for an October 3 release.

Hopefully somebody rips it by then. All I really want is Viral's Theme and 'Eye of the Storm.'

I wonder if it'll be up the same day so I can leave it overnight. Anyway, I found the other eyecatch to episode 25.

Newfag comin' through. :cool:

To be honest, the first time I heard about this, I didn't think the show was going to be good. After six episodes, people hyping the show, Yoko, I finally caved in and decided to watch. Fucking shit, my head asploded as soon as I saw episode 2. This is the very first anime that I've actually followed through all the way, although I don't really watch anime/anything...so I guess my opinion means jack shit.

Episode 25. I can't even think of what to say. I'm just fucking speechless.

Guys, I think I need a hug.

/me gives hug to SuperDK
man ep 25 was just FUCKING awesome, I can't wait to see what they got in store for 26 and 27

this is the 3rd time the show has given me teary eyes, and I'm gonna be so sad when lagann ends...whatever the ending may be, I'm still gonna be sad by waving goodbye to lagann ='(

CHEERS for gainax they've done it again let's just hope the ending isn't a little on the screwy side

Who likes Yoko when there's Darry?

ep 26

indeed holy mother of all that is drilling
ep 26 was just O_O

Yeah, it was pretty nice.

Seriously, to think they topped episode 25 is ridiculous. One more left! :)

Yeah and they did it rather unexpectedly too.

Yeaaaah, rock on man. A bunch of us in a Tenga Toppa group linked a bunch of the sketchy images from the preview and found

Holy shit.

I saw the top-most image in the previews and it was posted a few times on /m/, but I never saw the fully assembled piece. That's just ridiculously awesome and insane, right there.

Gainax seems to have a problem with believable scale.
Now I understand that the current version of the Gurren Lagann is on a celestial scale and all, what with it once being the fucking moon; and I get this whole exponential-growth/spiral thing they're implying; but man, this is fucking ridiculous.

What happened to your GAR, pack? >w<

By the time Kamina pull off GIGA DRILL BREAKER I am already on full suspension mode.

So episode 27 aired today. Gurren Lagann's come to an end.

And I came so many times, but manly, MANLY tears were shed at the end.

...I cried like a bitch.

JESUS CHRIST

http://xs315.xs.to/xs315/07182/explosion.jpg

Just watched the raw...

BRICKS HAVE BEEN SHAT

Now I just need to wait for the subs to come out so I can watch for understanding, then it will be complete.

Also, still can't wait until October when I get the soundtrack for lossless deliciousness.

Speaking of the OST, is there any opera that's as fucking awesome as the one that's been there since ep 25? That's probably the best use of opera ever.

Man, all those fears about Gainax delivering one of their trademark crap endings have been laid to rest. That was fucking great, I especially like that last part. Definitely in my top 3, that's for sure.

The ending is completley ludicrous as far as I'm concerned.

I think I'll jump off the boat at ep 15, ta.

The ending was fine. You just haven't kicked reason to the curb yet.

Well that settles it. Gurren-Lagann is my no 1 anime of all time *salutes*

HOLY DRILLS!
gurren laggan! spin on!
ffs the ending was just spectacular,man those fuckers at gainax made me cry 4 times in the whole series STOP MAKING ME CARE SO MUCH ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS GO AWAIIIII LEAVE ME ALONEEEEEE ='(

seriously now...i'm gonna buy the boxset when it comes out in the us lagann really kicked ass this season let's just hope something as good comes out next

ps: who would have thought that drilling would turn out to be such fun? =D

Because Drills are a MANS ROMANCE!

I'm stuck on ep 23 until I can get more from my friend but this has easily been the best anime this season.

I want to belive in the idea of Kicking reason to the curb, but Simon just gives up even after the impossible was presented to him.

Actauly, if the show ended without Hobo-Simon, I could of just about bought it.

Oh quit BAAAWWWWWing about it and just accept that it wasn't even that bad of an ending (it's excellent in terms of Gainax endings.) It's not that hard to figure out the symbolism of the ending, fuck, even /a/ figured it out a few hours after it ended.

You just wanted it to end all happy-go-lucky-everyone-is-hunky-dory and wanted to see some hot hot Simon on Nia action.

But not without a major shitstorm, bloating the GL sticking to 1000+ replies. Seems like some folks were desperately clinging onto GARlock from that first part in episode one . But I agree, thank goodness we didn't get a mindfuck or CONGRATULATIONS ending.

Now that kind of ending would've been lackluster, and extremely predictable.

I'd agree if it was done by any other studio. Here, however, this is not the case. I have yet to see GAINAX do a truly good ending.

That's because they're the masters of epic fail, so just getting something like the ending Merv thought up would be satisfactory from them.

Yeah, but I'm thankful that within that 1000 post shitstorm, a good chunk of people got it in their heads. What I'm not thankful for is the shitheads making 500 threads about the ending when there's clearly a sticky to read through.

I dunno, I couldn't have been the only person who thought that just maybe, Simon was giving Nia hot dickings while she was sitting on his lap nearly nude in the Gurren Lagann.



Also, still can't wait until I get the soundtrack. FLAC rip comin' mid-October. Better have a working bittorrent tracker by then, Bigblah.

You know, what part of "If it had stoped at Simon leaving I'd buy it" did you not understand?

You know, he throws his cape and leaves? That would of been the perfect stop point. The final time skip was unessasary and struck me as a poor way of epiloging it.

The ending was fine. Simon did would he set out to do and now it's up to the rest of humanity to guide themselves. While it's still a bittersweet ending, it left enough open to provide room for a possible OVA. I honestly hope they don't bring about a sequel television series.

The only things that I'm looking forward to now are a possible Lord Genome OVA or a GARLock one with Simon hopelessly fighting off billions of enemies at once.

If the idea of this ending was about self-restraint, it did it in the most heartbreaking way :(

The OST is out!

I bought everything up to 8:52, still shows that Simon is unwilling to let the Sprial Nemisis happen just to keep Nia alive but doesn't show him as a down and out who had nothing to show for his (what I can only describe as LEGENDRY amount of) retraint.

Show ended before final time skip and that's where I put my foot down on the matter.

Ok.

Damn, the OST is pretty good so far.

I understand what you mean, but at the same time, it's not exactly profound either.

But anyways, about this series. Fuck. I don't really watch anime. I only downloaded the first episode because it was easily accessible on the boards and I wanted to try some video out on my iMac. Somehow it ended up being so entertaining that I finished the entire series. This rarely ahppens.

As for the finale, I came drills etc. etc.

I suppose, in the end, that's all that really matters.

I mean, ending aside, it was a really enjoyable show and was completely worth it to watch. This is really all I expect out of an anime, or any television show, period: is it entertaining to watch?

Also, I don't even know why I downloaded the soundtrack. I'm only spoiling it for myself. (My lossless rip will also be superior, if only for the fact that I won't use the faggy APE+CUE format, and I'll actually provide scans.)

Today I did a marathon of eps 23-27 and I'm left breathless. Everything was just too awesome for words. I believe this will be the epitome of super robot shows for a good long while. It has earned itself a place in the top tier of mech anime equal to that of GaoGaiGar.

I find that the end was fine overall but they just love to tease our emotions with the final outcome of Simon and Nia, but it works very well. I doubt that there will be any sequels but I would hope for an after story manga or Ova of some sort.

Haha, if you're sharing that, I'll be looking forward to it then :P

I never disputed that it was an amazing anime right up to the ending - every episode had been pure pleasure to watch... which is why the ending was so sad for myself.

I took that and some translations of the soundtracks and fixed the japanese names into english names and did the same for the filenames!

Unless of course that's a different torrent than what i got and i did all my work in vain.

Ta-Nicely.

And yeah, I have no problems with the show proper (Iron-man Rossiu aside), But I still rank GGG's and Euraka Seven's ending over GL's (and by saying that I've probably started WW3).

http://xs220.xs.to/xs220/07403/antispiralbert.gif You will suffer ultimate despair http://xs220.xs.to/xs220/07403/antispiralbert.gif

tell me about it, Izarc isn't extracting two of the files right.

Goddamn it! "Pierce the Heavens with your XXX!" is so beautiful. I came drills.

Yeah, it's a great little ost (though I wonder why they didn't just go with "Drill" instead of XXXX for those track titles, eh, that's logistics for you) and if I could get the second and eleventh tracks to decompress I could get a full idea of my thoughts.

The rap tracks are awesome though.

What. I hope the moon falls on you, heh.

Thanks Ashton for the tagged tracks. Track 204 (A Lament for Kamina's Old Man) is easily one of my favorites, along with Nikopol and the obligatory ROW ROW FIGHT THE NICE BOAT.

Where did you find that anti-spiral and his dis pear?

Another forum =/

I'm pretty sure this show ruined anime for me. Oh i'll definetly go see Kodomo no Jikan and Kiddy Grade 2 and a few other anime, but no anime before ever really had me at the edge of my seat yelling at the screen in excitement. When watching a raw.

I'll etch the unetchasble, [RENTON X EUREKA], Colapse the Uncolapseable [the entire sol universe], RAW RAW, FIGHT-DA-PAWA!

Hah, genius! Did anyone try that 320kbps torrent? The filename's are screwy and don't work. Anyway, the soundtrack is wondrous, can't wait for the main OST stores in Chinatown downtown to finally get a few copies and I'm there.

DO the impossible, SEE the invisible...

Nikopol, "Libera Me" from Hell, and To Hell with Gattai! are the tracks I've played the most so far. Needless to say, Viral's theme is my favorite out of the three, but the soundtrack as a whole is pretty damn good.

I heard there was an OVA in the works, but not much information other than that was hinted at on a few anime news sites.

Most notably here; GAINAX NETbWorksbAnimation & Filmsb“VŒ³“Ë”j ƒOƒŒƒ“ƒ‰ƒKƒ“

boy.. it's kinda weird having weekends without Gurren Lagann. one of my fav [probably fav] series this season! [probably for awhile too]

the soundtrack's awesome. rawraw fight the power [though when i first heard it, i thought it's roar roar Oo]

I just finished watching this series, and it was just full of awesomeness throughout the whole time! :D

I think the pacing was well done, and it seemed like they went to the point right on, rather than dragging the whole story line like, Naruto or Bleach series. (in which I stopped watching really long time ago..)

Anyway, the ending was satisfying and I am really glad that Gainax didn't ruin the series by making crazy endings..(Such as Mahoromatic, for example)

But seriously, some of the later episodes almost made me shiever, and not many animes do that. XD

I've just started watching it, and I really enjoy it so far.
The 6th EP (DVD version) is the most hilarious EP ever in any anime I've seen in my life, that censor scene is way too funny.:D
The 6th one in TV can't match this one, it's a must see episode. ^_^

I've finished it and it's really great one.:D
It's ashame for Kittan, he's my most fav characters in this series.;)

Anyway......Why the heck they've to make the characters chin from > to ],lol. Rosieu is the ugliest....even than his father. :)

Great show. I had this on my 'to watch' list when I read that it had mechas with huge faces but I didn't get to watch it until recently. Great show, I'm up to episode 19 with Order. It's killing me that they keep getting slower with releases, especially at this point of the show when things keep getting more climatic.

I just grabbed the soundtrack "Best Sound CD 1 & 2" and it's pretty cool. Btw, is there's a missing track? In episode 1, when Kamina first meets Yoko and he flirts with her, the song played at that time isn't on the track. It has fast violions in it. Is that song on some other sound track?

The new face of Britain? Flag poll results - Telegraph

Massive lols

Holy shit, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Yeah, just found out about that today too... probably the most memorable internet event I've seen in a long time. To commemorate, I'm creating this: The Nation of GARUK :tpg:

Watched the entire series in the span of a few weeks, and DAMN is TTGL amazing~

Although, at the beginning, I definitely got a 'Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter' vibe from it, but it completely deviates from it.

Gotta say, this is probably one of the best anime series I've ever watched, up to par with Cowboy Bebop and whatnot. I really enjoyed the plot and the animation was fuckin' amazin'. Especially loved the use of multiple lines, and the scenes without any color <3. The character development of Simon was great too



There's a manga being scanlated (onemanga.com), and I heard there's novels as well. I definitely would like to see more 'official' TTGL stuff, but it'll definitely be difficult to top the anime!

Oh yeah: the links to the episodes in the first post don't work anymore. Does anyone have direct downloads of the first arc (excluding bleachexile; those episodes have weird subtitle encoding)

Hey, for the guys who haven't heard yet... Looks like there's going to be a GURREN LAGANN MOVIE coming out.

Theatrical Version of Gurren Lagann Pre-Announced (Updated) - Anime News Network

Which really makes me curious how they are going to tackle it... If it would be a continuation/addentum to the anime (ie what happens between timeskips, etc.), or a completely different plot with same characters (so similar to the RahXephon and Vision of Escaflowne movies)?

Two possibilities come to mind --
1) A summary movie. A few anime have done this (ie: Touch) where the movie is basically an uber-compacted version of the series. But that'd be pretty fuckin' quick to make.

2) Something following everyone at the end of the series

Anyhow. I'm not looking forward to it. We'll see if it pans out to anything decent. The series ended quite nicely and doesn't need to be tampered with.

I would say it will turn into a Cowboy Bebop type movie.

Wow, what the hell. I just checked my TV guide thing and apparently Sci-Fi's Ani-Monday block has Gurren Lagann's first two episodes airing, starting at 11:01 EST.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Fuckin' FAST.

Also, Scifi has an anime day?... I remember the anime movies in the summer YEARS ago, but that was it... :(

They'll blur all of Yoko's body and all of the scenes with Boota hiding in her jubblies :x

I knew about anime mondays but only caught it like two times with anime's that didn't interest me.
I don't think they'll censor anything out though. The first two episodes don't have any side boobs or ass shots or any of the sort. Just some cleavage from that one girl. If they cut anything out they'll probably just do it to add in some adverts.
Anyways, I'll check it out to see how the dub stands out.

Yeah, that's why I had to do a double check myself. They've given stuff like Noein, Toppo, Macross and some movies (Blood: The Last Vampire, some other weird thing I never caught the name of with some crow-guy). It's been going on for a while now. But this surprised me just as much as me flipping through the channels, and running into Code Geass in the block AS looked like it was going to axe.

BTW, I'm sure you folks remember when they used to give anime on Saturdays, right?

Anyway, here's what the guide says:
So if the dub is really bad, I guess I can use my drill to pierce my skull and end it all.

Edit: It wasn't so bad, though the first episode Kamina was stumbling badly. Anyway, there's some other anime on after called Now and Then, Here and There. Looks kind of old, anyone know much about it?

Would love to know where I can buy this . . .
