In news that actually made me drop everything I was doing, Bandai Entertainment
has taken possession of our wildest dreams. That sad blank space reserved for
Gurren Lagann will be filled shortly. Apparently, a sub only version will be
released starting this July, followed by a brand new dub in 2009.
Wait, July is only three months away?!?! need to sit down... there's quite a bit
of awesome in the air. Releasing three, sub only volumes, each one will have
approximately nine episodes a piece, the entire series (in some form) will be
here by September. Thanks be unto Bandai Entertainment...
Oh yeah, and they also licensed something else, some Gundam thing. I think its
called 00, I could be wrong. It can't be anywhere near as important of the
Gurren Lagann news. I need to go count my pennies and giggle manically.
gurren lagann finally coming.. yesterday was a glorious day. all i have to say
is...... IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!
and so it seems that bandai might actually be listening, this is amazing news
indeed.
I doubt it's Bandai listening so much as kicking someone while their down.
Gurren Lagann was bound to be a success... at least by American anime standards.
So I imagine when the chance presented itself to steal this one away, they were
more than happy to do so. Not too sure I'll pick this one up, but the sub only
prospect might entice me more. I get all that I want at a rediculously low
price. Besides July brings something much more important than this... THE FIRST
SEASON OF MARIA-SAMA GA MITERU! Now that brings about excitement.
"And the next big announcement is: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Sorry ADV!
Yes, I'm serious, Bandai Entertainment has snatched away the Gurren Lagann
license. They'll start releasing it in July, August, and September, three months
in a row. It will also be sub-only for that release; a dub version will be
released in 2009. Here is a teaser site for TTGL, btw: http://gurren-lagann.bandai-ent.com/
...Don't worry; I'll get to questions about whether they'll use the same
cast/dub and what kind of release they'll be doing.
Three 9-episode chunks for Gurren Lagann; no license for the movie just yet. For
the dub they're starting completely over, so you can scrap those ADV dub cast
lists entirely. The sub version will probably be fairly bare-bones, with more
special features and stuff available for the dub version. Nothing concrete for
possible digital distro for the series."
And with the series not being produced by ADV anymore, that's no longer an
option.
So we'll be seeing a new dub from either Ocean or Bang Zoom!. And it's slated
for release in July - best 30th b-day present ever.
