Kamina Sama FTW!

Thursday, May 15th, 2008 at 9:43 am by Jami

Kamina’s introduction from Gurren Lagann has to be one of the greatest character intros in anime!

Gurren Lagann is on my long list of anime series that I have to catch up on. All you have to say is “giant freaking robots” and “Gainax” and I’m fucking there. Reader Kevin Bahrt sent me all sorts of Gurren Lagann goodies to temp me including this screen shot that demonstrates Gainax’s tendency to sneak cameos of some of their previous shows.

I think Bandai has acquired the U.S. license to release this on DVD which means you’ll get three episode discs for $50. Yikes! Way to buzz kill Bandai. Still, looks like a lot of fun.

Anyway, here’s an English language trailer when ADV was still around.

UPDATE: From the comments, Kamen Otaku informs us that Bandai is releaseing three 9 episode subbed DVD’s over July, August and September for $29.99. Could be full of awesome!

    FUCK YES! GURREN LAGANN, SPIN ON! Fucking AMAZING series! Bandai is releasing three, 9 episode subbed DVD’s over July, August and September for $29.99, then in 2009 they’ll start releasing dubbed DVD’s. I’ve already got money set aside.

    ….that guy said what I was going to say. Aw damnit.

    In any case, Gurren Lagann is amazing. I’ve barely watched anime over the past few years, but that show had me enjoying every minute. Can’t wait to get the DVDs for quality widescreen goodness on the HDTV.

    I’ll be the first to say that Gurren Lagann is a severely overrated anime. It’s average at best, and the only reason people jump up and down over it is because it was made by Gainax, and has its manlyness set to steroids. I watched this anime, and I had high expectations because of the hype. What I get is a bucket of gar that goes political half way through, only to quickly return to the same ridiculous shit it started off with.
