Gurren Lagann

Gurren Lagann (天元突破グレンラガン Tengen Toppa Guren Ragan) is a Japanese mecha anime television series animated by Gainax and co-produced by Aniplex and Konami. It ran for twenty-seven episodes on Japan's TV Tokyo between April 1, 2007 and September 30, 2007. It was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, written by veteran playwright Kazuki Nakashima.

Dubbing History
The anime was originally licensed for North American distribution by ADV Films in 2007. However, this deal would somehow fall through (likely due to budgeting issues ADV was suffering at the time) and their dub was cancelled, with only several episodes finished dubbing. A test disc of ADV's dub had been sent out to select audiences with the first episodes of the dub, but only one clip of this dub has managed to find its way online.

The license was then transferred to Bandai Entertainment and a new dub was made by Bang! Zoom! Entertainment in 2008, using a completely different voice cast. With the collapse of Bandai in 2012, Aniplex of America later re-acquired the North American license in 2013. The dub aired on the Sci-Fi Channel's Ani-Monday anime block in 2008, and later aired on Adult Swim's Toonami block from August 16, 2014 to March 21, 2015.

In addition, an alternate English dub was produced for Animax Asia's respective networks in Southeast Asia.
