Gurren Labridged - Narrator Recast
Joseph Bozlinski for The Narrator
A kind elderly disembodied voice who occasionally chimes in to introduce a character or explain a scenario, sometimes adding a bit of meta humor to what he's saying. Should sound like a kind old soul, like a grandpa you're excited to hear bedtime stories from. The Narrator breaks character often due to the sheer absurdity of the story he has to sell, be sure to sell me on that part of the character with the first line!
[Images of the universe are shown as the narrator begins monologuing before being cut off by an explosion and then comically screaming at how absurd the situation is]
Space. An infinite, wondrous expanse, filled to the brim with the unknown, teeming with endless possibilities. And in possibility, dear viewer, is where our story beg- JESUS CHRIST, ARE THEY BLOWING UP SPACE? IS NOTHING SACRED!?[The narrator begins to think to himself]
This would be the perfect time to play an opening or theme song of sorts...oh but what to play? Ah, I got it![As an epic battle rages on the narrator begins to speak]
Sometimes dear viewer, there comes a moment in an abridged where what is happening on screen is so fucking epic, making a joke is impossible. Currently we are watching two big ass mechs tear each other limb from limb, do you really want this moment to be ruined by a pop culture reference? No (Light chuckle) No I think not.
