Just watched part of the English dub for episode one of Gurren Lagann.
FAIL.
It's not that it was all that horrible or anything... It was just missing the attitude the Japanese voice actors put into their characters. These English voice actors can't even begin to match it. They just don't have the same zing. And that's really what makes Gurren Lagann so fun to watch.
The most disappointing voice among them all was Kamina's. He lost what made him the Kamina we all know and love, and just because of a change in voice. The Japanese voice actor really made that character.
Anyway, my advice on this one is give the dub a pass and buy the subtitle-only set that Bandai so courteously released for us. Otherwise you're just wasting your money.
