Somehow or another, I managed to catch Gurren Lagann on the silver screen while I was in Japan 2 weeks ago. Despite the movie tickets in Japan being crazily overpriced, I still went ahead with the movie even after I’ve already watched 20th Century Boys which life-drained a steep 1,500 yen out of my wallet.

I shall keep this review short and sweet, since there’s really not much difference from the movie and the anime series, except for the movie being much more compressed, and packing some really uber scenes.

After reading this, I came to the conclusion that Red Alert 3 is unbalanced. The Empire of the Rising Sun’s arsenal of wimpy weapons just isn’t enough to take on the likes of the manly Soviets or Allies. Not with the overly feminine Yuriko Omega or brainless King Onis. Let’s not forget the Jet Tengus who can’t do shit without pop songs and love triangles.
Also, if you take a look at the faction page, you will notice that the Soviets and the Allies have a current total of 21 units each, while the Rising Sun only has 20. What’s up with this nonsensical foul play?

As such, to balance the battlefield, I propose an entry for the 21st unit, which I shall bestow the name of Galaxy Drill.

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.

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The images are original unpublished art, so I figured that starting a collection of them would be a good idea.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.
