Some good news for those who wanted to Buy Gurren Lagan and could not afford the $650 box set. And further more it’s being released in 5 parts, a good deal for those who can’t afford it all up front. Aniplex has heard the outcry of the fans and has responded with a pretty good deal. For $50 bucks a part, 5 parts in total you can own the entire series on Blu-ray with both languages and some extras! Doing the math you are getting the whole series for about $250 bucks, honestly that is not all to bad considering it is $400 bucks cheaper than the box set which has sadly been the only option for buying an HD version of the show in the States. This annocement was made live on the Aniplex website during the NDK weekend and it was announced on site during their panel over the weekend. This news comes to some fans as still to expensive for their budget, and I understand that you can only spend so much on media when food and gas and rent are are going up in cost and wages are not. That said I used to pay $40 for 5 episodes of anime on DVD back when Media-play was king of the hill for my anime purchases, then I got into Right Stuf usa, but prices were higher as the DVD standard was newish at the time. I really hope Aniplex can keep their releases at about this price rate if just a little less but hey I’m actually happy about an Aniplex release, it’s been a long time since I’ve spoken those words. – Check out the releases here – http://aniplexusa.com/gurrenlagannbd/
