Gainax pretty much said that they'd do it (assuming that the series was successful) even before the series aired. According to ex-producer Takami Akai, they created the concept with the expectation that the show would go on for at least three seasons. Like it or not, Gainax had a heavy commercialization plan from the start. |

Silly, anime isn't just for adults. And I'm sure Pokemon has done more to introduce American kids to anime than Evangelion ever will. 
To get on-topic, as a pre-airing interview, the interview seemed to have many hints about specific events for someone about to watch it on Sci-Fi tonight for the first time. I now know there will be both a bath scene and a timeskip, just from this pre-airing interview. I don't wanna get nitpicky or annoying about spoilers, but a bit of a spoiler warning would be nice. |

Then why'd you get nitpicky about spoilers? |

Is it just me, or has SciFi done about no advertising for Gurren? I haven't seen any commercials besides their generic Ani-Monday ones. Their website doesn't even have an Ani-Monday/Tues links on the main page, nevermind anything for GL.

It feels like Skiffy hasn't really done any advertising for Ani-Monday ever. I guess they just see it as a kind of experiment, and apparently the larger fanbase are horrible Battlestar and Trek nerds, and hate the animu. I'd like to see Ani-Monday grow, but I'm not sure they'll give it the time of day, unless GL gets an immense viewership. But I don't normally watch Skiffy, so I can't be too sure on their advertising. I do know it's probably about the same that [as] did for Code Geass. |

Nope, they really haven't done much advertising. Maybe if they would have advertised it, I would not have missed the premiere episodes of it because it came on two hours earlier than I expected. Of course, I live in the Mountain Time Zone, where TV schedules cannot be trusted. I should've known better  .
Are they planning on airing repeats of any sort or are they putting the episodes online on SciFi Rewind for people who missed a few episodes here and there? From what I've seen it doesn't look like it. If not, I guess I'll just have to look it up on Veoh in a few days and slip those few advertising dollars out of SciFi's hands. In short: Wah.

I can hear the Horribly pronounced Japanese names and pitiful excuses for voice acting now. If you don't mind(which I don't care if you do)I'll just stick to Seiyuu.

Did you even watch the SciFi channel's dub? I've only seen the first episode of GL subbed when it was on ADV's site , but overall I'd have to say it was pretty good. Except for the commercials every 5 minutes. No one cares about Eureka. Bring back my SG1 and BSG, damnit!! |

So..."Simon" is a Japanese name right? Oho I didn't know that. Open your ears and listen to the brilliant dub. Don't just classify it as bad before you even hear it, and its obvious you didn't. |

Granted I love Eureka, that annoying ad that popped up during the first episode after the second commercial was, suffice to say, stupid. But come tomorrow we won't see the ridiculous amount of plugs since it will have premiered. Either way, on the note of the comment of the series being worked on for a decade, how soon do you guys think we could expect to see a manga series? I mean, surely that's gotta be in the works, right? |

Ah a purest. Well before you start with all that without even knowing what your talking about maybe you should listen to the dub and notice that it is great. No offense but you should like an 11 year old that thinks it's cool to like subs and hate dubs because you watch naruto shippuden fansubs. Even though I think it might just have been flame bait. |

Thanks to this interview I was reminded to watch GL and it was special getting to watch it on my television instead of a computer monitor. (holding out for the dub releases because of extras+ the actual episode 6 and stuff) The dub didn't click with me right off the bat but it slowly grew on me. Kamina took some getting used to but I was fine with Kyle's performance by the second episode and surely the whole cast will continue to improve with each episode.
Thanks for posting the interview, it's always nice to see what the creators feel and what went into making a series. |
