Board 8 > i forgot about gurren lagann's budget fuckery

(+) Yeah! (+)

episode 4 was really painful to get through

and i just did the hot springs episode that was half flashbacks...6 episodes into the show.

is the movie better about this lol

never watched the movies, but I thought episode 4 wasn't really about the budget but was instead about how they got a "guest director" for episode 4 out of like a sign of respect or something? hold on, imma look this up.

yeah from the wiki:

Takami Akai, the producer of the series and a co-founder of Gainax, announced that he would resign his position effective episode five, which aired on April 29, 2007, over comments that he made regarding posts on the Japanese Internet forum 2channel. Akai and another Gainax employee, Keiko Mimori, made disparaging remarks about comments criticizing the animation style of the fourth episode of Gurren Lagann, which was completely directed by guest and friend Osamu Kobayashi. With regard to reading the fan criticisms, Akai stated that it was "like putting [his] face next to an anus and breathing deeply." Fans later became aware of his comments, and he announced his departure from the company he helped to found.

wow that is wild

and also was the anus the animation for episode 4 because it was balls awful

Osamu Kobayashi is a Japanese animator, illustrator, mechanic designer, and animation director primarily known for his work on episode 4 of Gurren Lagann and, most recently, episode 15 of Dororo.

oh no.

Half of episode 6 being a recap wasn't really caused by budget issues. The recap parts were added in because a lot of the episode was deemed inappropriate to air on TV after they'd already finished making it.
---

The movie cuts out most of that stuff, yeah.

Surprised you're going with the series for a rewatch instead of the movies.
