Gurren Lagann Complete Blu-ray Edition

Believe in the me that believes in you!
I won't yet comment on the series itself because there's plenty of great reviews out there that'll cover that part, and I'm only around half-way through myself, but I feel it's important to comment on the actual set itself.It's a really beautiful set, they have carried over most of the artwork from the American $500 boxset, but it's a little smaller - I actually prefer that as I prefer smaller packaging on Blu-rays. It comes with a hardback artbook which is chock full of concept drawings and other art.There's certainly a lot of content, the entire series, OVAs, two films and lots of extra content I haven't even been able to see yet.One small thing to note is that some of the sets have slightly misaligned third trays in the digipacks - mine is a little, but for me it's not enough to gripe about - but some peoples' are quite bad. If this happens to you, All the Anime/Anime Ltd have said that they're happy to replace it for you, so just search for their homepage / Twitter and they'll sort it, in my communications to them they were very helpful.I will drop a small line about the series itself - it's nuts. I've only watched around half of it, and it sure as heck goes places. If you don't know anything about the series, try not to find too much out about it! I knew a couple of key facts, but this isn't spoiling the ride for me. Incidentally, there is a LOT of fanservice in this series, so if that's not something you like, it might not be your cup of tea! After watching Kill la Kill, it mostly goes right over my head...Apparently, there were only 2,000 of these printed, so if you're thinking about it, I'd recommend you snap one up asap!

Gurren Lagann
The Gurren Lagann Blu-Ray release is awesome, the shows characters are the strongest part of this show, they are Simon a timid young lad who lives in an underground village with his friend Kamina, a headstrong young man who wishes to go onto the surface which they are told doesn't exist. when Simon is Drilling an expansion tunnel he finds a small golden drill and later finds a giant face of a mecha called a gunman, when an enemy gunman crashes through the roof of their village and a young female surface dweller called Yoko swings down to help fight the gunman its up to Simon to pilot the gunman to fight it off. This begins a series of events that strengthen the characters and the bonds between them.The characters are also very quotable with a ton of lines that have a fairly deep meaning or at least have meaning to me.Visually the show is beautiful and the story of the show is amazing although it might not be to all tastes and the shows soundtrack suits the story and builds up the hype or suits the mood when necessary.The only flaws with this are that the visual quality of episode 4 is slightly different to the rest of the episodes but this is due to the episode having a different director to the rest of the episodes and the fact that their is no subtitles for any of the kanji on screen or for the opening or ending songs lyrics.

Gurren Lagann - A great anime that most anime fans will enjoy
A great anime in a great format.Gurren Lagann is a classic anime despite not actually being that old itself, the anime oozes style and coolness. The animation - for the most part - is fantastic, very stylised with extremely good art direction.If you, or someone you know are a fan of anime I would say this is certainly a good one to get. The story isn't mind-blowing but its fun none-the-less with a good cast of characters and lots of robot action.As usual AllTheAnime give us a great product, with the Complete Edition - they seem to be one of the only UK anime distributors actually offering blu-ray for the most part! The blu-ray set boasts 1080p resolution video for the main features; Japanese and English Audio; English subtitles and a total runtime of 675 minutes.The contents are:- Episodes 1 - 27- TV Textless Openings and Endings (text on Ending 2)- Yoko Goes to Gainax (Making of)- SANZIGEN 3DCG Test Animation Footage- Storyboard Music VideoOverall: I would recommend to an anime fan, or someone buying for an anime fan. I wouldn't say this anime is for everyone, but I would say everyone should give it a shot. Its incredibly likeable and has a lot of charm.

great for the pricing.
it's a good series but i got really put off by it considering i had better sitting on my shelf to watch. if i was to say why it put me off it would spoil the series. i got about half way through it and stopped watching but it is not forgotten and will be watched when i get round to it. not one to dance about but also not one to avoid. can be picked up for an amazing price, i have seen it drop to around £13 which is an unbelievable price.

A bit of a flawed package, but still great for fans.
Outside Japan, the Ultimate Edition for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann fanbase.27 episodes, the 2 movies, 15 OVA's, Bonus including the OP's and ED's, animated storyboards and some more stuff never before seen. ALL in 1080p!English dub, japonese sub, and even french dub.Plugged in the first disk, OP 1 kicks of and you can choose Play All, Select Episode and Audio Set.Myself I prefer it original, so japonese subs!Already finished the first episode, everything is great as expect, gorgeous on big TV's.There are some problems with the digipacks and some frames of episode 5, 7 and 10 were replaced by DVD's footage since All the Anime hadnt received the 1080p video with audio of those... (link here: http://www.alltheanime.com/gurren-lagann-update/)IMO, these are minor problems, the anime is my favorite along with Code Geass, between many of those I have seen, IMO tops it all, even The End of Evangelion, SO I wont bitch about it.Yes, I m expecting the seller to send me some new digipacks since one of mine is in a lower position that the other 3, but that doesnt take away the value of this package, that even cames with a nice artbook.Reccomend if you are a true fan, if not just go with the normal blu-rays.

It feels like a goofy Dragonball-era show
I like how random and fluid the "evolutions" are in this show and it's fun to watch. There is a lot of fan service regarding the female sniper character, but it is nothing like High School of the Dead bad. The story progresses over a long period of time and it changes gears several times, but I never felt jarred by it.

Blu-rayリージョンBなのに注意
DVDのレビューが表示されているので(また、商品仕様説明にリージョンが明記されていなかったので)大丈夫だろうと買ってみましたが、甘かったです。国コードを変更してみてもどうにもなりませんでした。いつものノリで北米版かなと思っていたらヨーロッパ版だったのですね…。これから買おうと思っていらっしゃる方はご注意を。すでに見られる環境の方は安心して買ってください。作品に罪はないので、評価は★5です。

Superbe animé pour un prix correct
Pour information, sachez que je ne parlerai pas de l'anime dans ce commentaire, chose qui serait inutile tant beaucoup de sites spécialisés ou non en ont fait l'éloge (bien mieux que moi) dans leurs articles ou critiques. Ici je vais vous parler de cette édition qui vaut vraiment le coup.En effet, en version Blu-Ray, il n'existe en France qu'un seul et unique coffret de GURREN LAGANN. On peut le trouver notamment sur AMAZON à cette adresse :http://www.amazon.fr/Gurren-Lagann-int%C3%A9grale-Ultimate-Blu-ray/dp/B00NNVJCKW/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1448025730&sr=1-2&keywords=gurren+lagannCe coffret inclus la série TV: 27 épisodes (VF/VOST) + 2 films inédits (Childhood's end + The lights in the sky are stars) (VOST) + 15 OAV + Bonus vidéos + 1 artbook couleur de 112 pages.Malheureusement, le prix pose problème et est assez prohibitif car il tourne aux alentours de 144,99 € (prix actuel).Pourquoi alors ce coffret import anglais vendu par AMAZON France est-il intéressant?Il est intéressant car il coute 3 fois moins cher que le coffret précédemment cité et dispose de la version française intégrale! En effet, ceci n'est noté nulle part (ni sur le site AMAZON, ni même sur le boitier Blu-Ray) mais les disques sont exactement les mêmes dans les deux coffrets. Seulement, ce dernier n'est disponible qu'à l'import et il ne dispose pas de l'artbook ni des 2 films inédits (Childhood's end + The lights in the sky are stars) (VOST) et les 15 OAV. Par contre tous les bonus vidéo sont bien présents.Ainsi, si des personnes comme moi sont uniquement intéressées par la série TV, foncez sur ce coffret, le rapport qualité/prix est imbattable!
