GAINAX does Shikabane Hime.
It’s not too often that I get to talk about a new GAINAX anime coming down the pike. Unlike the BONES or KyoAnis of the anime world, GAINAX seems to release things at a much slower pace. It’s better than the dry spell they had been going through from 1999-2006, however. I can take one per year, just...

Opinion: Unfashionably Late With Final Gurren Lagann Thoughts
Series Rating: 4/5 Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has got to be the ultimate in the “turn your brain off and watch” style of anime. This could be regarded as a good thing, or perhaps, a bad thing depending on how one looks at it. As for this viewer, it tended to be a little bit of both. Though [...]

Opinion: Catch-Up Block: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 05-10
Episode 5 “I Don’t Understand It At All!” Episode 6 “You’re Gonna Bathe Till You’re Dizzy!!” Episode 7 “That’s Why You Do It!” Episode 8 “Farewell Comrades!” Episode 9 “Just What Exactly is a Human?” Episode 10 “What Kind of Person was Your Brother?”

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 04
I guess I should talk about the animation in this episode since that seems to be a hot topic recently and has even shaken up the production staff on Gurren Lagann over at GAINAX. Honestly, since I watch loads of older anime from the 70s and 80s, the animation in this episode really didn’t bothe...

Opinion: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 03
So it looks like it’s “mission start” for the Gurren Brigade and the cast is all assembled. I wonder if Viral has any associates. That would make the enemy faction a lot more fun to watch, since so far we’ve only seen Viral and a couple of those weird monster things. Rock on, Gurren Lagann, rock on.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 02
GAINAX did a damn good job on the second episode as the animation quality didn’t drop off one bit. In fact, I’d say it was even a bit better. I think Imaishi’s style shined even more in this episode, as we saw all the crazy and unrealistic mecha action with animation with bright colors and hardly...

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 01
Rating: 4/5 Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi Music: Taku Iwasaki Character Design: Atsushi Nishigori Studio: GAINAX “Pierce the Heavens With Your Drill!” Damn, that was pretty awesome and a ton of fun to watch. This is definitely a Hiroyuki Imaishi show as things were just insane. The very fir...

Gurren Lagann - The Trailer
Anyhow, the trailer surprised me a bit. I was expecting the typical Hiroyuki Imaishi-style crazy animation, but this seemed a bit more constrained than his usual. Of course it already has some pretty outlandish looking character design, so the craziness is made up for somewhat. I hope that...
