Which makes me wonder, since they have such big prints of those artworks, it wouldn't be unusual to expect an artbook from this serie, if it'll have enough success. I'd probably buy it, if it's not overly expensive, as well as the R2 DVDs (although I do hope they won't be as expensive as Diebuster's ones ).

Some of the images from that little manga, some of them look amazing, behind the spoiler for being big: Spoiler:
Also, this appeared on this month's Japanese NewType: I just LOVE Sushio. (Edit: I forgot to thank Manuloz and Otaking for the images) |

Love those Yoko sketches, they're really awesome (and hot). Sushio's artwork has great line work, full of energy. I also like his designs for Kissdum (one of the reasons why I'm happy to persist with that particular show, despite the rough 1st effort).
Thanks for posting them 7th |

I just like to say that 7Th is my new hero, you'll get a cookie for that. :3
As for that Newtype mention, May issue i take it? *is ready to make a order* You'll have to keep me informed with that --- wouldn't mind a copy for myself.

Diebuster had groundwork books for each episode, and while they were quite detailed, it was completely rough black and white sketches. I sincerely hope they release a regular one with color illustrations and whatnot.
Although, if not from Gainax, I'm pretty sure Newtype or Animage will release a version of their own. Is that Yoko in a seifuku I see? *dies* |

Penetrate Heaven with your Drill
I have been looking forward to this series, since it was announced at the start of the winter season last year.
This show has an entertaining charm which production values rely between the characters and the robots. I feel that Gurren Lagaan is sort of a lighthearted spoof to the giant robots genre, but amounting the fact that it is actually a refreshing approach to the genre. The three main casts resemble more of oddball heroes. The type that it gets dragged into this big mess, and they just decide to stick together because all of them the coolest combination ever spawned on Earth. Anything unlike the adventure drama where types of characters like those would usually meet together by means of fate. But that's OK. The way how the animation and the mecha was designed gives a friendly approach for the viewers to come and witness for themselves hilarity well complimented within serious action. I am just speaking to myself and not on behalf of anybody else at the thread that we were witness to the birth of the walking-head robots genre. Simon, the shy boy who thinks of himself not being a big shot on life. Yoko, the realistic girl who speaks as the voice of common sense for the trio; many gags will revolve around the bounciness of her boobs. Kamina, well he is the man who has the coolest sunglasses when he puts them on. |

New, but small and low quality, scans from the May NewType:
I wonder what the character chart says... Also, new animation groundwork uploaded to Gainax's webpage. I was hoping for Mori's explosion but this particular scene was also really well done: http://www.gainax.co.jp/anime/gurren-lagann/oni_r.html |

Honestly, I had absolutely no real interest in this series when I first heard about it. In fact, I had almost forgotten it even existed by now.
But it seems I was rather wrong, at least as far as the first episode is concerned. It's a well directed, fun ride and it's got me interested enough. The characters aren't anything special, but they fulfill their roles quite nicely. Waiting for episode two before I can say much more though...I'm still not expecting anything too out of the ordinary, so far, but simply a good super robot / adventure show that can keep me entertained. |

I've seen episode two, the talent behind the show makes me believe it can only get better. Hopefully it'll incorporate flcl's level of deepness and use funny, ambiguous two faced metaphors in it's story. Yoko = MIKURU TIER FANSERVICE |
