Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann Character Song CD

Still waiting for the OST it’s getting frustrating. I want to listen to Eye of the Storm, happily ever after, and other such songs. Still, I’m pretty glad Gainax are keeping us happy with this character CD. Not to mention the cover art, I mean Yoko? With GLASSES? Completely drool worthy. 

 It’s got 6 tracks, each different versions of 2 songs, BREAK THROUGH THE DREAM and Trust. Both songs are charcater specific songs and (as far as I can tell haven’t actually been heard in the series so far). You get 3 versions of each song, the original, the karaoke version, and the remixed version. 

 Trust is Yoko’s character song, and honestly, I can’t say it’s brilliant. It’s decent but just doesn’t have the flair that songs like Sorairo Days and Minna No Peace has. Still it’s decent, and pretty good once in a while. Of course it’s completely eclipsed by the embodiment of pure awesomeness that is BREAK THROUGH THE DREAM.

 BREAK THROUGH THE DREAM is Simon and Kamina’s character song. It’s a duet done by the VAs (I believe) and is absolutely amazing, one of the best anime related songs I’ve ever heard, if not the best. The best part is the sound clip in the song where you can hear Kamina and Simon shotuing to each other, ending with what I believe is “Who do you – All of you – THINK WE ARE!?”. Seriously, it’s truly epic stuff.

2 AWESOME seasons at once? (And a little rumour I’ve heard)

OK, I’ll start off with an apology,  I’ve been sidetracked by things, as well as working ona  few things behidn the scenes on the site, so I’ve been englecting the forum and neglecting to update the site regularly for a whole month too.

 Anyway… With this seasons anime all having started, some reaching their end (Code Geass) some still pretty early (Potemayo, Umisho, School Days)  and some only reaching past the half way point (Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann) it’s now nearly August, meaning only a few months until a series I’ve been waiting for for months starts.

Yep, Shakugan No Shana season 2 is starting this September/October. The first season is definitely a must-see anime, and the recent movie trailer had one of my favourite characters ever (WIlhelmina) telling us about this new season 2.

 Of course, I said 2 awesome seasons didn’t I? Well, as most of you will have heard, there’s a new season of Haruhi in he works set for ‘Fall’ of this year. I’d say the earliest we’d see it is half way through this season of Shana, so it’ll be an absolutely amazing few months, that’s for sure.

 (Oh, and here’s the little rumour I mentioned. Those watching Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann may want to know that a guy on 2ch, who has been a reliable source or information in the past (And also got us some interesting storyboards from unreleased episodes) has told everyone, and remember this MAY be wrong, that “40% of the original budget for Gurren-Lagann has gone into making the final 5 episodes”. I don’t think there are words awesome enough, other than… well, it’ll be like 5 more episode 15’s, which is REALLY saying something.)
