The two Gurren Lagann feature films are Gurren Lagann the Movie –Childhood's End-, (compiled from the 15 TV episodes with some new footage) and Gurren Lagann the Movie – The Lights in the Sky Are Stars (a sequel to the series).
The two UHD Blu-ray discs will contain the films in 4K HDR10, featuring the original Japanese audio (with English subtitles) and the English dub tracks, both in Dolby Atmos. There will also be Japanese stereo audio commentaries for the films from the production crew, subtitled in English.
The standard Blu-ray discs have been reauthored to include the films' English dubs, as well as the Japanese audio with English subtitles. Both will be presented in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The subtitled Japanese audio commentaries will be included in stereo DTS-HD Master Audio.
The Collector's Edition slipcase will feature new artwork created for the15th anniversary Japanese re-release of the films. The edition will also contain two art cards.
Also on August 31, Anime Limited will release a standard Blu-ray edition of the films, also including the English dub and the other on-disc contents from the Collector's Edition.
Around November, Anime Limited will release the films in a 4K UHD standard edition, again with the same on-disc contents.
The Gurren Lagann series is set on a future Earth where people are forced to live in isolated underground villages. One boy uncovers a key to a robot, and the resulting adventures put him in the battles waging on the surface and lead him to the secrets behind humanity's new existence.
