I'm hoping this will be in stock a while.

Interesting, the Amazon UK page says it is dubbed to English, what a fun way to trick their customers, lol. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gurren-Lagann-Collection-Boxset-Blu-ray/dp/B01N1V7QP3/ref=sr_1_1?s
Also, yes, the JP version includes both the english subs and the dub, can't say I have ever listened or even heard the english dub, I got spooked by the dubs of many series in my life and outright expelled them from my viewing experience of any jp titles.


Oh, sorry, I got that wrong.
The movies are Japanese audio only.
The series has the English dub as well.

Now here's the strange thing: As you can see, there's no mention of a French dub, yet, there's one for the series.
I just checked.

The only bummer for me is that I got the separate complete series and movie releases from Anime Limited, since they only announced the box set a few months later, so I missed out on the booklet and box, and probably paid a bit more too. Oh well, at least I still come out on top of Aniplex.

And yes, the UK set most definitely has the dub included. The movies were never dubbed, since Aniplex only chucked them out as an afterthought over here.

The design of the box and BD cases looks good. The set includes the entire series, both movies, Parallel Works and comes with a nice booklet. It doesn't have the English dub, but to be honest, I don't really care. Japanese audio and English subtitles all the way.
I regret nothing.
10/10. Would buy again.


If you are talking about the cover image on the box, I will have to disagree. Looks horrendous to me. They should have used actual art from the show.

What nonsense are you spouting there? That's an original piece of art from the show, it was used for the DVD-BOX I of the Japanese release, drawn by Yoh Yoshinari (You Yoshinari), the mechanical designer of the series, one of they key animators, as well as one of the ilustrators in charge of promotional images. If you don't like it, it's your problem, but don't go around saying stuff you don't even know.

Well, I for one thought we lived in a free society where we can say what we want.

But to your point, I said artwork from the show, the actual show. Not the promotional art work and other things created supporting the show.

Actual artwork from the show usually ends up looking cheap when used for packaging. See: AnimEigo's Kimagure Orange Road TV series releases.
