Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

[Splash!]

Arc Gurren Lagann literally PUNCHED a hole in the space time continuum

One can only imagine what a Cathedral Terra Lagann will do.

[Yukimura]

This show is just purified awesomeness. Every time you think they've hit the pinnacle of the screw-logic-all-you-need-is-heart attitude they just explode to another level. And somehow all the cheesy things they throw in like the Shout Outs before attacks and stuff fit in perfectly well. I can't even begin to imagine how they're going to end it.

Last episode can be defined as



"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT THE HELL!! "

[Death13a]

Last episode can be defined as



"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT THE HELL!! "

That would be wrong definition since this anime already uses that definition.

[GurrenLagann]

That would be wrong definition since this anime already uses that definition.

You're right



the ending will be beyond any definition

Wow. It's hard for a series to turn me around so easily on a character I've grown to hate, but Gurren Lagann does it again with Rossiu. He falls so far, and even comes to a point where I'm thinking, "Do it." A punch to the face and a hug from Kinon changes everything (I did always like her new look).

I really loved the technobabble sections, where everyone just kind of starts drooling and not paying attention, like several members of the audience do when it starts to go way over your head (...looking at you Ghost in the Shell).

Nice 70s mecha inspired costumes too at the end.

It's really the little touches though, like Kiyal making faces at her infant niece while important conversation is going on in the foreground.

[animus]

Haha another episode that was simply superb. Honestly, I was doing what Kittan was doing the whole time when he saw Yoko's new outfit.

To be honest, some of this is so over the top and crazy that normally you'd dislike it, but when it's done in TTGL you just can't help but love it. Such as pulling out the F'ing moon by using dimension ripping drill anchors. It just oozes awesome.

[Yukimura]

Some how this series just pulls it together EVERY episode. I thgought this was going to be a boring reflection ep and then it turns out to pretty much redeem Rossiu, revive the Kamina Fist of Self-Respect, and give the costume designers another chance to go crazy. All while staying interesting and fresh the whole time.

P.S. What is up with Yoko's space outfit? She looks like she should be hanging off (Black) Michael Jackson's arm back in the 80's, which isn't actually such a bad look, but it's just totally random.

[Ryllharu]

Yoko's outfit is very 70s mecha inspired. It's almost reminiscent of Grendizer, like this "reinvisioned" figure below:

But with a lot more holes cut everywhere.

A lot of this series is a spiritual successor to Mecha's past. Death of a mentor and brother figure, giant bosses which always carry the title of King. Extradimensional foes, sexy female leads that the main hero never gets with, the lost princess corrupted by the enemy (last time I remember that was G Gundam), etc.

There's just updates everywhere. Most recently Rossiu's attempt to kill himself meant not jumping into a nearby ocean, but blowing his head off. A super punch that isn't a flaming fist, but rather punches a hole in space-time. Genetic manipulation instead of some made up technology.

[GurrenLagann]

Dare i say Yoko outfit reminds me of Meer from Seed Destiny

[Shadowflame]

This anime has done what it set out to do, and I predict it will continue to do so for the final episodes. It's repeatedly smashing through whatever limits of awesome I think it's going to reach. It has truly earned the name Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

And I was astounded as well at the character turnaround of Rossiu. That punch though, it was even more than what Kamina gave Simon when he was in his slump. Simon literally flew fist-first into Rossiu's face. Dude must have a tough jaw or something.

The star theme on Yoko's outfit does kinda point toward Meer, so I see where you're coming from, GL.

Blackorder and KickAssAnime Released a subbed DVD rip version of episodes 1 & 2.

Here is a link to the torrent for anyone interested:

[Order-KAA]_Tengen_Toppa_Gurren-Lagann_01-02.DVD.torrent

Quick Note: a lot of the TTGT releases that groups are doing come from HD 720p sources, so if you get the h264 version of episodes mostly and they lack a timecode (that annoying ass clock in the upper left) there is a good chance you might have a better than DVD quality copy already.

[AbstractTheorem]

Each week BSS (Bullet Speed Subs) and ADTRW (For those who re interested orgin of name here) duke it out over who is gonna spit out the next episode of TTGL the fastest; as of late BSS has been a bit slower (by a few hours), but does a better quality job subbing.

for those of you who dont want to wait ..... here is the ADTRW sub file link, and the Raw they worked it from:

http://www.raspberryheaven.net/wiki/Gurren-Lagann_24 sub file (just cut and paste it into a txt file)
http://tracker.anirena.com/details.php?id=2004 link to RAW torrent

When BSS releases, should be located at:
http://bss.110mb.com/
or
http://groups.google.com/group/bssfs (in the files section)

or they might release at both sites..... anyway I am off to watch #24 enjoy

ADRTW subs are god awful. I tried watching the one they had for 22, and the raw or codec they used were terrible, their subs sucked, it was filled with grammatical and spelling errors, odd phrasing, lack of any karaoke. And their subs were pretty juvenile. I honestly understood the episode with a better understanding without the need for their subs with my extremely limited knowledge of the Japanese language, by just listening to the audio.

[shinta|hikari]

A show like Guren Lagann doesnt really need subs for more experienced anime watchers. Even the "really" technical explanations are reexplained in more simple terms (most anime shows do this),and even have images just in case you get confused. Half of it is just explosions, not that its a bad thing.

[AbstractTheorem]

Well thank you for the random bit of negative rant.... but if your going to complain please leave it with what makes sense....

ADRTW subs are god awful. I tried watching the one they had for 22, and the raw or codec they used were terrible...

Its a SUB FILE we are talking about here.. the raw looks fine...in fact probably one of the best cut raw's anon has released. A Sub File is just TEXT ----> you don't need a codec....depending on the player you might need a filter to see the subs with the video.

their subs sucked, it was filled with grammatical and spelling errors, odd phrasing, lack of any karaoke.

Its RARE for any Speed Subbing group to have a karaoke....but your right about the spelling/grammar; considering that they sub it normally in about an 1-2 hours after the raw is released the grammar errors are not that bad.

I am surprised that over the course of 1-2 hours a nearly random group of people passing around a subtitle file in a forum (which is how they sub TTGL) can actually create a passable subtitle; if someone were to tell me how they made it I would expect it to look like a 3 year old monkey banged on the keyboard until the screen filled up with characters.

And their subs were pretty juvenile.

Your post is juvenile, and if you're going to complain about grammar, don't begin a sentence with the word "AND". Far be it from be to be a grammarian, but seriously, spitting piss poor random venomous remarks about grammatical USING poor grammar kinda makes it.. lack punch.

I honestly understood the episode with a better understanding without the need for their subs with my extremely limited knowledge of the Japanese language, by just listening to the audio.

Well my friend, if you don't need the sub... then....... DON'T DOWNLOAD IT! It's as simple as that! I even mentioned the quality in my post, but I was trying to be diplomatic about it.


Wanna make a Remark about the quality of ADRTW.. then here is an edit of your random post:

"ADRTW subs are god awful. I tried watching the one they had for episode 22. The sub was filled with grammatical errors, spelling errors, odd phrasing, and the lack of karaoke."

..now if you posted that you would have gotten your point across; also "filled with ... the lack of karaoke" almost sounds poetic.

so in closing if your going to rip on some fansub/speed sub/group of random people in a forum's Sub's, then please do it with some dignity, after all even ADTRW's sub's are better then yours.

They have encodes if you didn't notice. And they encoded it bad, or whatever. I don't know.

BSS has Karaoke. They didn't have it when the lyrics weren't out, but now that they ARE out I see no reason not to have them.

The words "but" and "and" are considered poor grammar to start a sentence with. However, it's perfectly understandable to have them there, even in literacy pieces. Editors don't change it, even in major works like Harry Potter.

I couldn't care less about my grammar on an internet forum. You're mighty defensive for someone who concedes that their subs are terrible. These are criticisms, live with it. They're putting out files to the public, though free, people still have standards. I don't care if they're speed subbers, I allow a certain degree of mistakes, but in the outline of a subgroup which ADRTW is, there needs to be QC'ers that do their work. In case you don't know what QC stands for, it's Quality Control.

I didn't say I didn't need it, the subs just didn't help the understanding process much if any at all.

I don't call myself a grammar expert, and grammar on an internet forum is hardly the top of my priorities, but I could easily have corrected all of the grammar in your post.

I've never made subs, so clearly your last point is moot. If you're going to flame me, do it with dignity. I don't know why you're riding on their sacs so hard, but you need to grow up. In closing, the internet is serious fucking business.

Yes what you say about "and" and "but" is well google'd. Nothing is wrong with breaking the rules of grammar... like I said I am not a grammarian. I use ellipses for pauses, tend to capitalize for emphasizing a word, and I take sentences I make from a complete sentence and a fragment and I join them with a semicolon...there is a difference between breaking a rule or two and vomiting a pile of disorganized misinformation onto a forum page.

I am not going to play the "your defensive game"..... this is a trick statement which has no winning come back. If I say anything then I am "being defensive" just as you claim, if I say nothing then your statement stands, attack me with something that ACTUALLY MEANS something please.

Yes BSS is a better quality Sub.

No, I didn't correct you on grammar.... I was saying you were the pot calling the kettle black.

And lastly.....

I've never made subs, so clearly your last point is moot. If you're going to flame me, do it with dignity. I don't know why you're riding on their sacs so hard, but you need to grow up. In closing, the internet is serious fucking business.

you seemed to miss it....that was the joke....I assumed you hadn't made subs which leads to "Subs are better then nothing"

I think you need to read your last paragraph and heed your own advice.

[animus]

I'm clearly not the one flaming. Hopefully a warn is not coming my way.

It's funny how you said I was attacking you. I didn't. You attacked me, sir.

"ADRTW subs are god awful. I tried watching the one they had for episode 22. The sub was filled with grammatical errors, spelling errors, odd phrasing, and the lack of karaoke."

That was a correction. You should really stop trying to argue with me. I couldn't care less if I win or not, but you are definitely not clever as you seem to think you are. Read my last paragraph and heed my advice? Again, if you want to flame me, do it better. No offense, but you aren't clever, so stop trying to accuse me of stuff I didn't type.

"If you assume, you make an ass out of u and me". Have a good day.

I don't care if they're speed subbers, I allow a certain degree of mistakes, but in the outline of a subgroup which ADRTW is,

No they aren't. Stop posting.
