Yes, I am aware that there is a mod to make builds like this but using a program or mod that instantly builds a pixel art is no fun. I did use a program called PixelStacker (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/pixelstacker.46812/) to help me figure out what blocks I needed to build it, but I can guarantee you that I did build this by hand in survival.

It can't be Kamina's father, because humans after Lordgenome never went to space until Simon, and the jingling is a reference to Space Captain Harlock. The creators confirmed that it was supposed to be a part of the ending, but they decided to go with the ending in the series.

>ANN: In a previous convention panel, it was mentioned that the first episode's introductory scene tells a slightly different story than the ending because the story changed during production. What were some of the reasons as to why the story changed from the introductory scene to the way we know it now?

>Otsuka: That's where we thought we were going to go when we first depicted it. However, by the time we got there it had grown so much beyond the scale of what we had originally imagined it was going to be, therefore slight differences would be noticed.

When /u/SuperSecretAgentMan posted about this, I couldn't resist, and I applaud it for it's genuine feel.

"is there a manga?"

Yes.

"is it in English?"

Part of the series was localized. There are 10 volumes total, but Bandai only did the first 6 in English (that goes up through the fight with Lordgenome).

"if so who's the company that releases it?"

Bandai Entertainment; however, they stopped production on all of their properties about 5 years ago (which was shortly after Vol. 6 came out in English). Instead, they're only licensing (to other companies) the properties that their Japanese parent company holds instead of doing it themselves.

"can I purchase it from them?"

They've stopped producing new ones, so it's a hefty price if you're looking new, but you can still find used ones making the rounds. Here's the Amazon page of Vol. 1 for example:

https://www.amazon.com/Gurren-Lagann-Manga-Kotaro-Mori/dp/1604961570

I've actually been emailing some of the major manga distributors in the US every few months to see if they'd be willing to pick it up since Bandai abandoned it. I've even offered to work with them to create a Kickstarter to crowdfund it as I believe there's a sizable portion of the anime fanbase that wouldn't mind having the manga version too. Alas, none of them have given me anything more than a "We're not interested at this time, but check our social media for new releases!"

I went to Kadokawa as well to see what it might take if I wanted to personally buy the licensing rights (I'm not a translator, but I'm sure I could find one here in the US willing to work with me). Unfortunately, they told me that they don't deal with individuals, only businesses. The impression I got was that even if I went and made an LLC just for this (which is its own hassle not guaranteed to get me the licensing rights) that they wouldn't really listen unless I was a big name producer like Viz or Yen Press.

These are not available now, but thank you so much for the idea!!!! I found these ones that I think are a good option too.

This one on Amazon that I wear every day is an actual spiral. Pretty sure he’s just looking for one that has a continuous descending line instead of separate circles. I’m looking at mine right now and it is indeed a spiral and it’s only 10 bucks!

Here you go let me know if .png is a problem, at the moment that's what VLC is set on for snapshots and I haven't had a need to change it.

If this is anything like the Gundams I build you won't need glue casue they snap together but you'll want nippers they're like this lil clippers for plastic and sanding sticks to sand down the lil nubs.

Hi! I want to buy this so bad!! Would you happen to know of a store in japan where one can get it at a good price?

I found this one and I think I might buy it from them if I don't find anything better but I was wondering if it is the same one: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/CCSTOYS-Gurren-Lagann-Movable-Figure/dp/B08B6DRZSQ

I tried, but the "kustom" app only has so much usability. Couldn't get it to darken the meter properly as the battery drained.

Here's a link to the Android app I used to create this if you'd like a whack at it

you should be able to get one on amazon for really cheap, thats where i got mine

Boom

Off the top of my head you have two options:

The first is the Revoltech Gurren & Lagann (http://www.amazon.com/Gurren-Lagann-Revoltech-66-Action/dp/B0027FF4M0)

You can see in the side pictures that Lagann is included, but it's kinda tiny, which is somewhat inescapable since Lagann is much smaller than the Gurren.

The other, and much pricier option, is the Kanzen Henkei version of Gurren Lagann (http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001882). This series, in general, is unique for allowing complete transformation of their figures. In this case, it means that you can combine Gurren & Lagann into a full Gurren Lagann figure. But it's also really expensive and out of production right now, so you'll have to pick it up second hand/resold.

Personally, I would just recommend buying full Gurren Lagann figures instead!
