Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann - Spoilers & Speculation
The purpose of this thread is to allow free discussion of theories and speculation of the Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann anime series, but be warned since it may contain unmarked spoilers. Having a central location may help focus the discussion instead of spreading speculation over the various episode discussion threads.
Acceptable post topics
Please make sure you use spoiler tags as indicated above! Also provide where the source of such speculation come from if at all possible (i.e. "Animeage" or "Game") and clearly identify the spoiler with a title.
Finally, please remain on-topic and do not use this thread if it's just discussion about the current or previous anime episodes. Last edited by xris; 2007-05-07 at 10:59. |

For Morimiya, he's not really a newbie. It's just that everything he did isn't in ANN's database either and I didn't feel like adding stuff into D-Gray Man and Comic Party and so on. It's fair to say ep10 and 11 have a fair share of "nobodies" at the helm, which might either be refreshing or disastrous. There's a rumor going around that ep9 is going to be animated by BONES, like how ep3 was animated by Xebec. We'll see if that pans out. Right now I'm just hyped for the ep7-8 two part finale to the first arc. |

So Niru is most probably Nia? It's nice how Imaishi considers episode 9 late series. Are those blurbs from one of the June magazines?
I still expect something nice from episode 10... Kimura's ZS SB were quite good for a low-key atmosphere and I'm biased for Nakamura. Last edited by 7Th; 2007-05-08 at 10:02. |

Recall in ep1, someone (supposedly Shimon) is leading Guren dan and riding on a huge spaceship with a face. Could that be a gattai version of Lagann and the spaceship in the coming episode? Unlikely, since that person is holding a key to Lagann in his hand, normally Lagann shouldn't be able to move or Gattai if the key isnt inserted into the slot.
However it is very likely that the battleship which will apear in ep 7 will be used as a mother ship for Guren-dan after the episode. Whos know it might be able to fly in space already. Now they can fly to the Moon! |
