Just my opinion on Simons VA: I just personally think he could have had more emotion in that speech. It was such an integral part to the series and to the character Simon in general. This isn't about dubs vs subs, since one of my favorite epic monologues is Domon Kasshu's from G-Gundam (Dubbed even). Again...I just find the Japanese VA to be more emotional with the speech then the English one. Just my two cents.
Watched entire series in Japanese with subs, Watched entire series in English with dub, read entire series of manga through English translation. I'd feel like a nerd but... Fucking Gurren Lagann, man.
Seriously, I really enjoy japanese more than english. Being non-english to begin with may have something to do with that. I just find a lot of dubs to be below par, either due to horrible voice actors, or horrible editing *cough*4kids. I just enjoy this anime with the english dubs. Anyone who specifically chooses either dubs or subs is a narrowminded idiot. See which you prefer and choose for each anime individually - anything else is stupid beyond reason.
kamina was a great man the manliest virgin i knew his manliness is beyond that of chuck norris so great in fact that*towards the Heavens pose*it lives on in our hearts today as long as we believe in the us that believes in our selves
"my bro is dead!!hes gone!!but hes right there on my back and here in my heart!! he lives on as a part of me!!If you're gonna dig!!dig to the heavens!!No matter what's in my way i wont stop!!ounce i've dug through it means that i've won!!Just who the hell do you think i am!! im Simon!! im not my bro!! im me!!Simon the digger!!" Gurren lagann Simon the Digger
dub vs. sub, sub vs. dub, I'm sick of it! "force yourself down a path you choose to take and do it all yourself!" some of us choose to walk a familiar path, a path we understand and know fondly. others choose a unique path, a path that is walked strenuously and beyond the limitations of others. whether it be dub or sub, the path is the same, gurren lagann! I for one like both the dub and sub, both versions have voices that fit the characters well. so quit complaining and enjoy the manliness.
I saw the Dub first, so to me the Dub is more epic. I like hearing "Who the hell do you think I am!?!" a lot better than hearing the Japanese with the subs to read. I've watched the movies subbed and they are good, but I think most of us tend to favor the voice cast from the first time we watched. (Konata from Lucky Star talks about this on one episode)
I saw this scene (the english version) posted on the Japanese website Nico Nico Douga, and the Japanese commenters thought the dubbing was pretty good.
Simon : If your gonna dig, dig to the heavens. No matter what's in my way, I won't stop. Once I dug through it means that I've won. oh yeah best part
Simon : If your gonna dig, dig to the heavens. No matter what's in my way, I won't stop. Once I dug through it means that I've won. oh yeah best part
well to many fails there XD 1. his DRILL is the Drill to Pierce the Heaven . 2. Dig threw heaven ? lol hell no he Drills threw Heavon ! 3. its the FUCKING GIGA DRILL BUREIKA !!!! NOT BREAK !
This dub is win, it's epic. It's found a place in my heart, and there in my soul. If you're going to dub, then dub over the heavens, no matter whats in your way, don't stop, once you've dubbed it! It means that you're done! Just who the hell do you think I am? I'm Yuri Lowenthall. I'm not Vic Mignogna! I'm me! YURI THE DUBBER!
Don't underestimate me! I don't care about dubs, subs, or multi-lingual whatevers! Mark my words! Unmatched in heaven and earth, this dub will tear a hole in the universe! The dreams of the dub watchers... The dreams of the sub readers! Those two sets of dreams weave together in a double helix! Drilling a path towards tomorrow! And that's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S GURREN LAGANN! This dub will pierce through the language barrier and right through into tomorrow! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!!
I just watched the episode where Kamina dies and i though "I don't want to watch the rest of the series..." But watching this clip encouraged me to watch more of it :D
I don't care if it japanese or english dub But what i know They give the same massage to about the story or anime, yeah sometime the dub change the meaning little but i can still understand what the saying =]
sorry, but the japanese voiceacting is way more EPIC. the Eng dub just doesnt have the same fire. Especially during the GIGAAA...DORILLLL BREAKERRRRRR!!!!! part. Its just not as cool in english.

I accidentally clicked on this while browsing Angel fights from the Evangelion series. Even after watching a series as convulted and warped as Evangelion, I have to say, this is one weird, stupid looking show.
Trust me, I did NOT expect to like it, especially because it's a mecha anime. But to my surprise this became my number one anime of all times. It beats death note and possible fma.
Personally, I felt Simon sounded more like a sadist in the Japanese dub, when he unleashed GDB. It's why I prefer it more to this. He sounded more of a bastard than when Kamina did it, and surpassed his GARness in that respect(exactly what Kamina had intended). Here he sounds like Freddie from scooby doo. For shame, the English voice had the right spirit but I'm used to imagining Simon to being more of a monster
Not too bad, though i still prefer japanese version, i dont like how they forgot to echo his voice when he called himself a driller, but its good to hear this in english, too many different subs for the japanese so i never knew 100% of what he said.
Just my opinion on Simons VA: I just personally think he could have had more emotion in that speech. It was such an integral part to the series and to the character Simon in general.
