Let's be real, the whole dub was awesome. I remember trying to watch a sub and couldn't since they got the English voices so right.

What is this Gurren Lagann and why should I want to spend insane amounts of money? Not that I'm going to buy it as I'll wait for it to show up on TV or Netflix but what type of quality brings a company to release it for that much? After looking at YouTube I just didn't get it. I watched part of the first episode on YouTube and it seemed overly... jokey. Does the story get crazy good? Didn't want to browse Wiki too much as I may run into spoilers.
I did really like the first two Evangelion remake movies if it helps. That's about the only mech anime I've seen. Never saw the show.

From what I can tell, Gurrenn Lagann is the complete opposite of Evangelion. Where the latter is a dark deconstruction of the genre, the former basks in its insanity, taking every possible mech trope and pushing it up to eleven.
Think of it as an anime version of Megas XLR, only even crazier and with a proper conclusion (damn you Cartoon Network).

It always really amazes me how many people haven't seen Gurren Lagann. It's one of the more mainstream series.
I dunno if it's really crazier than MEGAS. It's more a different kind of crazy. Gurren Laggan is about how much awesome can be packed into a single 30 min episode and then how to one up it next episode.

You should all be ashamed. Gurren Lagann is the anime that will pierce through the heavens.
You mean you got a spare $200 or $700 lying around?
What? 0_o
It really is amazing. The music is so damn good too
Why is Spike wearing a fedora? I thought that was Inspector Gadget at first.
Nuh uh! GXP is only $18!

On second thought. That is expense for the quality.
4.3/5 , it's quality.

Heh. He does look like Inspector Gadget.
Who gave GPX a 4.3? Do they hate people that much?

I got that on ebay for far less (at least, I assume what I got was legit) but that was 10 years ago.

More Soul Eater is always a good thing
Kidd's first day of school! It's always the worst having to meet new people. Especially when Black Star and Soul are the ones to great him.

Yes, pretty epic Kid episode tonight......
Meanwhile, LiveAction Network's ratings and my feelings drop as The Wizard of Oz broadcasts.
" Oooooooo, He Flew! "

And it's the exact same in the show.
*checks* ... Wow, they're actually airing The Wizard of Oz. That's just bizarre.
At least it is a good movie I suppose. Better than some of the live action crap they showed and they showed some pretty dreadful stuff. I miss when they would take a day to just show the Iron Giant.
I kind of spoiled myself for the Kid episode tonight

Let me know if you all think this is a spoiler and I'll remove it.
Black Star's face is so punchable it's ridiculous

It sounds like he has more screen time in the anime. I'm 25 chapters in and only one has had him.

((((Great, when IGPX comes in, the Show End Dates are gonna screw up once again.
Shouldnt affect much if it's just replacing a Bebop slot.
