Anime Limited has picked up another solid title with their slowly growing launch catalog for 2013 with Gurren Lagann, which will be getting a DVD and Blu-ray release later this year. The sets are likely to mirror what we’ve seen from Aniplex in the US when it comes to this popular Gainax series that has seen broadcast in North America over the years on Cartoon Network. No details were provided in terms of pricing, extras or release time frame for the series.
Anime Limited’s president Andrew Partridge says: ‘Gurren Lagann marks an exciting addition to our growing catalogue. We’re very excited to bring this to anime fans in the UK’.
Plot Concept: In his skyless cavern of a village Simon toils daily, drilling holes to expand his stifling little world, until one day he makes an extraordinary discovery: a small glowing drill-bit and the man-sized mecha it activates. Before he can give it a second thought Simon’s dragged into a plot to break through to the surface by the local gang leader Kamina, only to have the ceiling come crashing down on top of them under the weight of a giant monster! It somehow falls onto the boisterous Kamina and cowardly Simon to defend their village, but once they defeat the monster, what awaits the duo on the surface world?
