Gurren Lagann

I think I'm the last one to talk about this most awesome anime so to make up for it here are some shots from episode 2 (which you have probably seen already ^^;)
For those who dont know, Gurren Lagann is another new April season anime featuring a most cutesome (she got big eyes) girl and most interesting mecha designs. After seeing the first two episodes, I'm hungry for more.

In episode 1, we saw a young chap called Simon (pronounced 'Shimon') digging holes - theres not much for people to do who live underground apart from dig I guess. He always believed that there was an 'above-ground.' One day while digging, he chances upon some sort of crystal which just happened to be the key to a mecha in the form of a hug face with arms n legs.
This mecha comes in handy when an unknown mecha crashes down on Simon's village from above ground. A girl called Yoko with a huge rifle (and eyes) falls from above ground too as she was in the midst of battling this huge mecha.

Simon and his friend Kamina together with Yoko make it above ground only to discover that there are more evil mecha waiting called Ganmen. I wont go into episode two as the shots below probably spoil it already for those who have not seen it yet.
The animation is fluid and pleasing to watch while the theatrical background music complements the visuals well. The mecha design is rather unique and something that I personally have not seen before. Each mechas body is made up of a huge face. The mecha that Simon pilots is called Lagann while the mecha that Kamina gets to pilot in EP2 is called Gurren. in EP3 we probably get to see Gurren and Lagann join to form the Gurren Lagann mecha.

For those who want more on Gurren Lagann, you can see a ton of pics that I took at the recent Tokyo Anime Fair.
I was rather down due to there being no Code Geass showing until summer but the new season of great anime like Gurren Lagann more than make up for it. Recommended.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

SG,
Divs is the correct web2.0 way of building things but are a pain in the bottom. I really need a good tool to identify missing divs. I spent hours with the slideshow template and gave up - you can see a table in the middle ^^;

This is my pleasant surprise anime for the season. I didn't expect much from it, but I've really enjoyed the first two episodes. I'm very happy to have so many great anime to watch! Makes up for the fact I have to wait for the end of Code Geass...

I'm sure this will stay on my final list of shows to watch. I always start out watching many, but the list shrinks dramatically by episode 3~4 time. This year it will shrink even more; I want more time for important task like study.

Yes, I already noticed the Table being used, I guess using some teeny bit of Tables is alright. Sometimes, its better off with a table right? ^^;

At the moment, I'm trying to develop a website without the use of tables, (I may have to). Decided to use a Frame for image galleries. ^^;

But, I'm sure you'll overcome your Table just like your home made glass table hehe.

I'd give it a go since you recommended it. But now I'm really enjoying Lucky Star and Romeo x Juliet.

Also there seems to be quite a number of mecha this season.

Weird interesting Mecha designs from GAINAX. Will take a look when I get the chance.

Danny how do u get the screencaps? Cause it looks like right off the broadcast. Did u use Video capturing Hardware & software to record off the Air right there in Japan?

It first came across as a very stereotypical shonen/mecha anime. However I decided to give it a try for the female character's lovely eyes. I loved it. Reminds me of the nonsensical (in a good way) Dead Leaves and youthful FLCL.

Retail - it suxx

what's the deal with the time on those screen shot? Does some channel do that or is it because of the tv? That would annoy be so much if it stay on the screen the whole time.

As far as the anime goes, i'll check it out but don't look too interesting for me.

Yoko is a definite hottie, and I love her big...err...gun. The walking head mech is strange, but it's kinda cute and cuddly too (like the Acguy). It's kinda remeniscent of the Kero Robos. What I like most is that there's so much hot blood in the series. Kamina is so gung-ho about everything, you can't not love that. This one's definitely a show I'll be keeping up with this anime season.

I was thinking it was used to remind the school kids of the time so that they won't be late for school :p

I read it somewhere that due to the competition of TV broadcasting channels in Japan, they often have to start the next TV show like immediately after the current one has ended (Like if a show is in an half-an-hour block, there are usually commericals inbetween or at the end). Which means there's no (or very litte) commericals and such/ It also explains why TV shows start at 8:56am instead of 9:00am at the next block. The time up there is to remind people that their time isn't wasted

I think that's the explaination. Sorry if I didn't managed to explain it properly ^____^

My wife is in charge so I only pic up the files that she leaves on our internal server ^^;
I think she has to convert it into avi. Dont know what the original format is - I think its native to the recorder.

Danny : you say you have an HD recorder, I think you can record some shows directly from the signal to your recorder and capable to capture screenshots as the posted here - I knew there are some restrictions in the signals or TV when incluide "macorvision" to prevent you record from TV ... is it happening? is it finished? it was a legend?

I've only seen the first ep of Gurren-Lagann, but I'm already very pleased with it. ^_^ Although I can read Japanese, I have difficulty with understanding it when spoken, so I have to wait for subs. >_o

It's either me--or the face of the mecha (or is it the body?) looks eerily reminiscent of that of an EVA unit.

I thank you immensely for posting this!

While i was in Tokyo, i caught the first episode of it by accident on the hotel TV. I was channel hopping, and i immediately stopped and watched the whole thing. I thought it was 'mr driller: the anime' at first! I instantly recognised it as Gainax's work though - it looked beautiful.

Cant wait for this sucker to get fansubbed!

Have you also seen the 2 mecha figures for it in the wee display cabinet on the mecha floor of asobit city? Looking ace.

This was the anime that got me into the figure collecting hobby. :D
I was going through Yodobashi Camera in Umeda when I saw the Gurren Lagann Konami Figure Collection. I got myself the whole set (without the secret character, unfortunately).
Those were the very first figures I bought and now I can't stop. My poor wallet...

FTW.. This is the first time I saw a mecha piloting a bigger mecha and piloting another bigger mecha. Also, the first time I saw a mecha with facial expressions. Cool music. Superb animé all in all. ^_^
