Anime, Otakism and the Rantings of Japanese Popular Culture
The last time I bought a stick poster set, it was the Full Metal Panic stick poster set that had the posters filed up in some sort of album. Before that, it was the Evangelion stick poster set. This time, it looks like I might be getting this Gurren Lagann set too.
After their expensive Kamina and Yoko, EyeUp does more Gurren Lagann. Come September 2008, a series of 6 Gurren Lagann phone straps will be released at 840 yen each.

These Gurren Lagann chibi sized FIGUMATE trading figurines are uber cool.
In conjunction with the Gurren Lagann movie that’s scheduled to be released in September, 4 character plushies will be released.
I have this habit which grew onto me ever since I learned that Gainax updates their website’s main page every Saturday with a new image. In the past, it used to be stuff like Evangelion, FLCL and some other Gainax productions, but recently, it’s been a whole string of Gurren Lagann images for weeks.
The images are original unpublished art, so I figured that starting a collection of them would be a good idea. After all, majority of the art is quite interesting and pleasing to the eyes, such as the image above. Gurren sure can rock!
Once again, it’s Saturday and I paid my usual visit. This time, I got quite a shock of my life.

I bought my first Region 2 anime DVD back in the start of 2007. 6 Black Lagoon DVDs from Amazon Japan, which were sadly raped by MDA. After that experience, I was rather hesitant to continue expanding my collection by importing more DVDs from Amazon Japan. Also, the costs of Japanese DVDs did not help either. But I still continued anyway. Gurren Lagann was simply too awesome.
Now, this is one hell of an Anime DVD Collection. This belongs to some otaku, NOT me.
The website for the upcoming Gurren Lagann movie is up!!!
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER!!!
Now that we all know that the Gurren Lagann Movie is confirmed, here are some really brief updates about it.
3/10発売の「ニュータイプ」でも発表がありました劇場版「天元突破グレンラガン」も強力にプッシュしていきます！
I knew it!
It wasn’t much of an adventurous journey, really. Basically, Yoko departed Amazon Japan in Tokyo on 28th February, took a flight, stopped by Subic Bay Freeport in the Philippines for a short break, before finally making her way over to Singapore. She arrived this morning, 29th February at 6am, while I was still snuggling in bed. Some time around 10am, she arrived at my doorstep with her escort, the Fedex delivery man.
