Narrator: Tony OliverThe series will premiere on America's Sci Fi Channel on July 28.
Spike Spiegel as Leeron?
... Oh I HAVE to hear this! XD
Not quite what I was expecting, nor many other people, but I suppose it'll work fine. It looks like the JYB invasion is continuing, but he didn't get the main role this time.
And yes, Steven Jay Blum as Leeron will be epic.
and Ben 10 (Alien Force ver.) is Simon. I approve. Still wish they'd kept Brett Weaver as Kamina.
Lordgenome: Jamieson K Price
I was hoping for Beau Billingsley, but this will do.
From Price's ANN page: "Elvis in "God Hand" (VG)"
"I'M GETTING HUNGRY, HOMBRE!"
AWESOME
Wow, pretty impressed by the cast list, here's hoping this will be good.
I know this girl, she's always like "there's no such thing as a good dub"
So I punched her
That's no way to treat your mother.
Anime Expo has videos of the dub.

It starts around 2:30 of Part 2.
I can't say I'm too impressed by the samples. I just hope they're better in the actual episodes.

People who say that have never watched the dub versions of Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon.
Sci-Fi's got it.
Now and Then, Here and There
That show is amazing

Or deathnote?
After last night's episode, Death Note has been formally inducted into anime's Hall of **@$ Win English Dubs.
I like your Sci-Fi TV listings, all the anime we get on ours is Ruroni Kenshin. :<

Between this and Episode 7 of Black Lagoon, it's clear that in order to get the best performance out of Brad Swaile, you gotta let the man RANT.
Do I really need to be the first party pooper to pop in here and ask "What is Gurren Lagann?" Because I'll do it. I will if no one else does, because I have no idea what it is (although if I had to choose, I'd be somewhere between "Swedish bakery" and "Former Prime Minister of Tuvalo")

Gurren Lagaan is what happens when Gainax (makers of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gunbuster, etc) go "Hey, you know how we try to be all philosophical with story-driven with our anime? Well, what would happen if we just make a bunch of giant robots that do completely impossible things, give each episode a ludicrous animation budget, go batcrap insane with every fight we can and every week we try to outdo the craziness we did last week?" And someone said yes and Gurren Lagann was made and all was epic.
To know if the show's for you, all you need is to ask yourself one question:� Are giant robots really kickass in ways that could only be described by the Megas XLR theme??� If you answered "Yes", then Gurren Lagann is most likely for you.
Here's a good clip to get a feeling for how the show works.
That looked awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pach understands what the show's about.
Yeah moar plz pach.
