For those of us wondering when Gainax was going to get serious about milking Gurren Lagann for all it’s worth, never fear! They’re already on the ball.
Gurren Gakuen-Hen (Gurren School Edition) will begin serializing In the next issue of Monthly Comp Ace. The mangaka is Kabao Kikkawa and it’s based on a story by A-ji Zaitsu. Kikkawa mainly does hentai and ecchi so I guess that means lots of Yoko and Nia panty shots.
I want to say that this news infuriates me and makes me want to send Anno – I mean, Gainax – death threats but that would be an enormous lie. If this is half as funny as the Otoko Ippiki Drama CD, which was also a Gurren Lagann high school alternate universe, I’m all in.
It makes me wonder, though. Gainax co-founder Hiroyuki Yamaga has already said that he wants to work on Gurren Lagann for the next ten years. But if they’re already getting Campus Lagann out of the way, what’s next? Gurren Lagann Wild Wild West? Gurren Lagann: A Victorian Romance? Under the Sea Gender-swappin’ Lagann?
The sad thing is, no matter what they churn out it’s too late for me. I’m a sucker who will kick reason to the curb and buy anything as long as it has Gurren Lagann on it. Because that’s what being a fan with a blazing heart and unyielding bad judgement is all about!
