Background
ADV Films announced at Anime Expo 2007 that they would dub Gurren Lagann in English.[1] ADV Films was facing financial troubles around the time they had announced that they would dub Gurren Lagann. In January of 2008, ADV Films website updated and removed any mention of fourteen anime titles including Gurren Lagann.[2] This caused many to speculate that the dub would be canceled. On September 9, 2009, A.D. Vision the parent company of ADV Films announced that ADV Films would shut down and its assets would be transferred. Bandai Entertainment would end up acquiring the license to dub Gurren Lagann and released their own dub of Gurren Lagann with a new cast.
Little footage of the dub can be found. However, a test disc had reportedly been sent out to select audiences with the first few episodes of the dub.
