The anime Gurren Lagann, originally licensed by ADV Films in 2007 with five episodes dubbed, ended up somehow having the deal fall through (possibly due to budget issues with ADV at the time). The license was reacquired and a new dub was made by Bang! Zoom! Entertainment in 2008, using a completely different voice cast. A test disc of the five dubbed episodes was sent out and circulated among anime fans for years, although for a period of time the only piece of this publicly accessible was a short clip. Eventually, all five episodes were leaked online in 2025.
