Break Through the Heavens Gurren Lagann

Interesting. So are Giant Robots trying to break into heaven or am I mistaken? I haven't seen this show and I'm a bit interested in it.

Also, do the chicks dig the Giant Robots in this show?

 

[Adaptus]

Yes. All the chicks do.

The 'pierce the heavens' saying is basically symbolic for "doing the impossible", and giving your all in pursuit of your goal.

It's the overarching story of the show.

In essence the show is all about Simon and his journey from pissant hole digger to being a great man. Once you get a few episodes in it will make sense.

Yes, chicks dig Giant Robots =)

Oh and there's kind a metophorical heaven. Like calling something above you "Heaven" and trying to go beyond that.

Theres some pretty good metaphors under all the awesomesauce and bad assery. The whole show is all about not giving up on being more then you thought you could and standing by your friends and beliefs.

[spoil=Spoils for last couple eps]Like when Kamina comes back to help Simon and the rest one last time.

Still makes me all teary eyed. :cry:[/spoil]

Is the show violent or is it like DBZ on Cartoon Network?

 

[Jakut]

Yup, tis violent :| And speaking of the non-violent anime


lol reminds me of this

 

[Hibiki]

It's Bleach/Naruto violent. Not full of disemboweled people but people do get the **** kicked out of them sometimes.

I'm lookin at you Viral.


Even still it's this good.

This thread is fantastic. It must remain, and no mod should close and / or delete it.


On a slightly more on topic note, do they actually sell this stuff in America, or do you all just download it? It doesn't strike me as something that would appear in the states.

I totally agree this is a thread of legend.


Gurren Lagann was set to be released in America last month but ADV pulled the dvd at last moment. Apparently they were unsatisfied with the distribution deal they got and went back to renegotiate. So now TTGL is not licensed in the USA.

Liar.

So the show is incredibly popular in Japan, or at least enough so for it to come out in the U.S.?

Yeah this show is sweeping through japan and becoming super mega popular. It only just finished airing in japan not too long ago.

ADV is planning on making this one of their flagship animes for this year or next year when it comes out. The entire reason they went back to renegotiate is because they wanted it on TV and one of the execs for ADV has said many times that they want to do everything they can to get this as popular as it is in japan.


It is by far one of the biggest animes that has been released in the past couple years.

 

[sub]

Alright. They need to change the name of this show, though. No ones going to watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Pierce the Heavens is okay, I guess.

 

[Hibiki]

Well when the dvd was set for release it was just under Gurren Lagann.

But anyone who has seen the series will know that it wont make any sense at the end if they dont keep the name the same.

 

[sub]

Don't you actually have to know Japanese for it to make sense, though? Or is it in subs?

Just curious, I guess *shrugs*.

 

[Hibiki]

A few groups have subbed it completely.. and done a damn good job at it too.
