posted on 2008-03-29 05:15 EDT
Otaku personality/singer/actress Shoko Nakagawa has announced at Tokyo International Anime Fair 2008 on Saturday that she will be singing the theme song for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann movie. She made the announcement during her mini-concert. She also noted that she will be performing her first overseas live concert at Anime Expo 2008 in Los Angeles. Hiroyuki Imaishi and Gainax's robot adventure movie will open in Japan this fall. Nakagawa's theme for last year's Gurren Lagann television series, "Sorairo Days," debuted at #3 on Japan's Oricon weekly singles chart.

Forget that it was based on a game only two generations removed from Pong; this is unexpectedly involving popcorn fare with a wickedly circular sense of humor. Good stuff all around.

The (small) boost in emotional content notwithstanding, this is still the series to hit up for a watching experience that is consistently fun and never taxing.
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.
If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.
