Actually, in Jason's post, just as interesting as Gurren-Lagann itself was the Gainax crash narrative as etched in fan's memories.

I dropped Gurren-Lagann after the ep.3, but the show's potential was very clear. By dropping early I was just saving on my fansubber's duty, and continued to live vicariously off the bloggage. So I knew about the death of Kamina, Nia, etc. Since it's an ADV release, I feel morally justified holding off for a thinpack. Ledford is talking about the feeling of entitlement anyway, might as well take advantage of it.
