| 5:02am | Art of Gurren-Lagann |  | | | UPDATE: Steven pointed out that this entry contains major spoilers.

| 5:03am | Gurren-Lagann begins anew |  | | | I watched 3 episodes on fansubs, but now it is for real. And what an amazing show. For the episodes I’ve seen, my impression is different from what it was. I’ve read much about it on blogs, and I’m prepared.

| 3:51pm | Gurren Lagann Parallel Work 7… Not quite… | | | | There is no episode 7 for Parallel Works this time around. Yes, this little project of Gainax has come to an end. After 6 episodes of unique, different perspective of Gurren Lagann and this includes some nudity in between, I must say, Parallel Works is something great for the fans of the anime. Not to... | | |
| 3:01pm | Space Battleship Yamato Review - 70/100 | | | | Coincidence can be a very strange thing I started watching Space Battleship Yamato, and only five episodes later, this piece of news pops up.

| 12:34am | Required Reading: Post-SDCC Edition | | | | You may have noticed that it took me a couple of days to recover from Comic-Con this year. I’m blaming it entirely on the fact that after leaving a giant mass of over a hundred thousand comic/movie/game/anime nerdsonly to head to Texas to spend time with a small, huddled mass of them instead.... | | |

| 12:17am | The Lagann Dub and the Decade Ahead | | | | Last night, I tuned into Sci-Fi Channel to watch the TV premiere of the Bang Zoom-produced Gurren Lagann dub. I actually thought it was pretty good and something I’d watch weekly but then again, I am more forgiving of dubs than other, more purist fans may be. Kamina didn’t seem to possess... | | |
