DVD - Season 1 Part 1
The curious thing about it is that its pedigree doesn't really suggest fun. Its primary writer is Shou Aikawa, the mind behind the solemnly ridiculous Ayakashi Ayashi. Its director is Seiji Mizushima, best known for his bleak adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist, on which he collaborated with Aikawa. And MADHOUSE isn't exactly famous for comedic excess. Where the anarchic comic impulses come from is a bit of a mystery. Until you look at the original creator. Edo Rocket, it turns out, is based on a play (yes, a play) by Kazuki Nakashima, the scribe behind...wait for it...Gurren Lagann. Suddenly things make a lot more sense.
