Gurren Lagann - Simon Becomes a Man (Gurren Hen and Episode 11) 

The original is fine because they were under time constraints. Gurren-Hen is basically a badass remaster of the original.

I got back from watching the English dub premiere of Childhood's End and it was so amazing to finally watch Simon's speech dubbed and on the big screen! Really hoping they soon make it available for home release for everyone else to witness!

I like how in the original, the reaction to Giga Drill Breaker is there. It adds more the the fact that Simon is truly powerful.

I love Simon's speech, the faces of everyone's astounishment... but specially... Leeron nodding "yes my boy, that's it".

Everytime i watched the both Gurren-Hen and Lagann-Hen I realize how the revision should be done about something. Anime was already near perfect and movie changed those little things with different perspective make the show so much better and much more emotional it just makes you love it even more.

Im not a dub hater but i think it sounds more intense in japanese

imo, done so much better in the show. May not LOOK as nice as the movie, but something about Simon having to start from square one, slowly build himself back up into the leader he was meant to be resonates with me much more than an overblown flashy drawn out battle.

I find it funny how Japanese Simon has a longer flashback of Kamina than the English Simon and still has time to break out the Giga Drill Break first.

It's always cool to see they decided to double down on the Trigger style in Gurren/Lagann hen. The black thick lines help bring out more intense colors in the intense moments, eyes look deeper and more serious instead of looking gloomy. The Team has come a long way and really learned that the public enjoys the way they produce the projects as a while rather than some aspects.

I love both versions of this Anime. I first watched the sub, and the dub second. I personally look for acting first on my english voice actors, and then how their voice matches the character second. I will always prefer a good actor over a similar voice. Btw, just three words for you eng dub haters: Leeron's english voice. Thats is all.

my goosebumps overloaded from all the epicness on one screen!

Lol, wow, I just saw this movie just a week ago. Good coming back to see the difference between the series and the movie. It's good to see the vast difference between them, knowing they didn't just reuse most of the same clips, but actually made an effort to improve it. Still prefer Yuri's over the top voice acting, though. It just *feels* more epic, probably because it better fits the massive mountain of Ham that this show has.

in gurren hen is too much epic for muy body

You posted this a while ago, but thank you. Seriously.

i really love the movies. they bring alot more (albeit in a compressed form) to the table

The episode 11 version is sheer epicness, the Gurren-Hen version is PRICELESS...

the dub is done soo well in this

It's so weird because to me Yuri always matches the energy of Simon so well to the sub, I don't speak for all of you but my God everytime I hear him as Simon I just get goosebumps

I’ve watched the dub version of this scene so many time as a teen i got it memorized

The difference between having more time to animate and draw art vs. a relatively limited time. I wish anime back then already followed the current day concept of seasons. It would've made the anime look like the movie.

The thung that I love from the episode 11 is that everyone blushes for simon.

Goosebumps

Gurren Hen, for me, does not compare to the emotional story told in Episode 11. Yes the visuals are superior but they edit small details that make the experience much more personal and emotion heavy. Things such as Simon seeming much more ordinary when combining and making his speech rather than god-like; the approval and reaction from his peers for his action, and the spirial energy surging after accepting Kamina's death.

i feel like the episode did this better than the special. the special honestly tried too hard for my taste.

At that moment, he became the new badass leader of Team Dai-Gurren.

Both are great.

The movie just polished the shows visuals and i love it

How...how dare you??? You trying to make folks head explode with all this awesomeness??? Lol

Fucking love this show.

This is what you call Twofold Awesomeness.

1:09 not trying to be rude, but considering the situation in the special it just looks like simon is trying to produce a move straight out of his ass. that scene just looks and is executed better in the original format when he was being pinned by genma and was in a pinch.

oh shoot, i need to watch gurren hen now...

Superlativo

Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! Your an amazing person and you deserve 5 free internets!

Dub,Sub,Movie or Episode It does not matter Simon's Rebirth is epic

I can't wait til the new fans watch this on Toonami in a few weeks and get over Kamina's death.

@Clairelover23 the one on the left is the movie, Gurren Hen, but its the same scene.

Obviously the animation will be more up to date in the movie. But I still think the anime's telling of the first arc is a lot better.

Gurren Hen English Dub!!! Many have demanded it and have been silenced! But those demands will someday form into a double helix and pierce the heavens! XD

Gurren hen is the version that's on Netflix I think because I remember watching that version where Simon fought against the not mole guy (I forgot his name) and I saw GL on netflix

Watching this show is liable to cause hair to grow on your chest

I love this song

Wow Did not know this

Wow it's like night and day

I personally prefer Dubs over Subs as a general rule, but I have found one series where I infinitely prefer the Sub, and that's "Naruto". I've never really understood how non-Japanese speakers can fully enjoy a series in Japanese. The big thing for me is that you have to constantly look away from the action at the words to read. I previously thought that that would I always take you out of it. That does happen for me a little with Naruto, and even Gurren-hen, but NOT LAGANN-HEN. haven't watched Gurren Lagann subbed, other than the movies, but the movies are DAMN great, especially the ending of Gurren-hen and the entirety of Lagann-hen. It got to the point where I was just watching and subconsciously "absorbing" the words I didn't consciously read the words, but I understood what they were saying. That was also helped because I had already seen the dub.

This ISN'T japanese versus english. This is Series vs Movie. The scene in episode 11 is identical in both the english and japanese version. Though i suppose it isn't surprising to see fandumbs use this as a "DUBS SUCK" video, despite the videos description clearly stating he merely couldn't find the subbed version. Or, y'know, THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO. Some people seem to deliberately make themselves appear as stupid as they possibly can.

I like both

Both are cool.

That girly scream at the end

Fuck, my new cat became a tiger, again -.-

Prefer episode 11 as manly as it sounds it brought a tear to my eye

Should of just kept the movie audio and tried to line the orig episode actions together with the Hen movie 1, some people don't really understand how much more perfect the animation and art but also the voice acting than the series. If you already seen it then you would not be bothered with the parts cuts from them, great streamlined animated movie with a deep message.

I like that in the original, the focus was on Simon, and dislike that in Hen the focus shows Kamina. That is Correct, for it to be on Simon, not Kamina.

That's is how you man up!!

gurren lagann is my fav anime and i started watching sub then found out that there was a dub version so i switched mid way i re-watched a couple months later in dub and now i have to watch it in sub because theres something different

Dat death squawk at 1:35

“My bro is DEAD” sounds so off

prefer the way Simon gets out of his slump in the series, because he gets 9ut of the hole by literally digging, while in the movie he climbs the robot to save nia, which us something kamina would do and not Simon. By digging out of the hole himself he shows that he should not just try to ve his brother but to drill through the way he knows

The dub was fucking epic. The fact that there are people who actually think that Kamina in the dub sucks when Kamina in the dub is voiced by KYLE FUCKING HEBERT shows that some people are just elitist pricks who will hate anything that isn't in the original Japanese, even if it is amazing. Not to say that the original Japanese is bad. I actually like it quite a bit, but I do think that the dub is better. Mostly due to my subjective opinion, and the fact that I can actually understand English. When a character has a really good feel to them AND can speak English to me with an anime, I really enjoy it more.

so is Gurren Hen like some HD verison of Gurren Lagann? cause I noticed the detail/ lighting looks a lot better on the left

IMPOSSIBRU!

GIGA DORILLOO!!! BREAKKKKKUUUU!!!!

That animation difference though

Am I the only one who is crying while watching this?

Dr Demolition XD

never got why they changed it to break in the dub when its clearly breaker in sub

Pretty sure he had it right the first time.

Conclusion is... movie IS MUCH MORE EPIC than regular show

I did'nt know the movie was a special edition or something...

you could have timed. ANYTHING together. I know you could have. You make me sad. I am now sad.

😎😎😎😎😎

In my opinion the movie is so much better than the show, but i love both of them :D

man, watching different dub is so stressing.

both epic versions of the same thing

Ep>

Whats the name song??

what was the song?

where can I watch the movie?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The sub is better by miles, there’s more emotion and intensity in it.

Anyone know the song that plays in the back ground

The anime moive (lagann) vs anime ep 11

Yes, I always believed Simon is the best. Even better than Kamina, he just lacked the Charisma that Kamina had.

I like the dub much more but both are good

Anyone know the song?

I prefer the Episode 11 version

I actually kinda prefer the Dub "GIGA... DRILL... BREAK!!!" Over the sub, but them also, in episode 11, what's with the arms at the end? I never got that out of the three times I've seen this series

I need the name of that song!

Whats the name of the song playing in the back ground?

i might like the original version but nothing tops Yuri Lowenthal epicness

The quality of the movie was way better but i preffer the anime scene

song?

This just shows that the english version of simon is just as good as his japanese counterpart

Besides opponent what's the difference

if you asian sub or dub doesn't matter

I like the dubbed version of GL better. But I also liked the movies better than the show... o-o

Wait there's two different versions of the show? What the actual fuck why didn't they just use the Japanese version instead of remaking the whole thing

Gurren hen animation > episode 11 animation

Dubbed is SO much better IMO

Not going to cap its probably better to go dub for gurren lagann instead of sub
