Gainax loves me, This I know, Because the internet tells me so.   Gurren Lagann: Parallel Works, was a series of animated music videos, pairing brand new animation with the existing soundtrack of the series. Of course, to sweeten the deal, there is an underlying theme of parallel universes, that each takes place in... which I love.   <object width="640px" height="513px"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yvsvvTPYn20&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"> </param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yvsvvTPYn20&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640px" height="513px"> </embed></param><param value="transparent" name="wmode"> </param></object>    The first set involved one short set in a very traditional looking fantasy setting, while another took place in a world where the Gunmen transform into giant pinball machines. These themes will carry over the recently announced Parallel Works 2: Project Encore, and I couldn't be more excited. These fun endeavors really help illustrate Gainax's devotion to their IPs, and have found a way to make quality merchandise that doesn't compromise the integrity of its source material.   Expect Parallel Works 2 to land May 26.
