| I really hope Rossiu actually brings something interesting to the table, because I can sense some interesting character dynamics coming. :D Good episode, it handed the time skip well. |

| The 2nd half is already off to a great start. Not surprising, considering this anime is so good. |
| Aw, everyone changed... Especially Rossiu, he's not cool again :( Grow Grow fight da powah!! Dat eyecatch xD I thought it's Steins;Gate number that showed the future changed or not... I forgot what it's called Next ep, there's Spiral King in regeneration chamber?? Oh, it's really getting serious.. I don't know if this turn kind of events right or not.. It's almost like Code Geass... just a bit Zarnaav said: Oh so Nia is evil, I didn't like her in the first place. So that's what they have done 7 years... Kamina City and Kamina statue.. That Rossiu should know his place... Who the hell thinks he is ? I'm quite sure Nia didn't know what she's doing Then, who the hell you think he is? xD |

| Simon is so cool now that hes grown up :3 |
| Rossiu's logic.... "Let's bring more people aboveground so we can determine when we reach one million people!" |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| This time skip completely took me by surprise, was wondering what they planned to do with the Spiral King defeated. Looking very promising so far, grown up Simon look cool and so many things have changed. It was a bit sad to see Viral finally get defeated and have to abandon his gunmen. I have a feeling Rossiu has ulterior motives at this point, I wonder if him and Simon will have a falling out. Also liked seeing the pipsqueaks grown up a bit and piloting suits. Excited to see what's to come from the moon. |

| Okay, that was pretty awesome. First (maybe second) episode since Kamina's death that I really loved. I really like the man Simone has become... not so much Rossiu. I was actually expecting a few episodes ago, that Simone would probably serve as Rossiu's Kamina/role-model, but I guess it turned out to be the opposite. I can't believe Rossiu would sit there telling Simone that it's wrong for him to fight, only to say that he and the rest of these people have become weak... kinda pisses me off when you realize that Rossiu was about the most useless of all of them before the time-skip. Didn't really expect Nia to have this kind of role though. I wonder what exactly makes her special... since as far as we know she's simply a half-human / half-beast man. Aside from being related to the Spiral King, the only explanation must be something we're not aware of yet. Asterick6 said: I won't tell you how to pick your preferences, but I think it's actually pretty consistent with the series. They pretty much took most , if not all, of their technology from the Beast Men. Saying that it doesn't make sense for them to build multiple story houses doesn't make sense imo, as by that logic they shouldn't even build structures since they never had homes or form of structure aside from dug out caverns.Also, if you think about it rotary dials... spirals... notice a similarity? Also, it may not be the case but it's kind of like they're building towards the heavens, I guess you could say. But really building up is much move convenient than building outward... as it's much easier to keep track of... and even though they failed, probably a lot more convenient for counting the population. If you noticed also, those flying cars had those spheres that made the mechs fly before. ALSO the city was technically still built under ground level... as you can see when it first shows the city it was all dug into the earth. I don't disagree that the old mechs were a lot more interesting though, but I have faith that the series will pull through and keep things equally interesting. This is barely half-way through... so a lot can happen. Of course I know you've finished the series now, so this is wasted on you, but this is my two cents from my current perspective. |

| the new arc is siiiiick, but needs more yoko |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Love the new look of everyone now. |
My Candies:     |
| wth is going on don't really like the start of this arc >.> but im sure it will get better |
 |
| Downhill since ep. 8 |
| I really enjoyed the series initially because of Kamina and Yoko, so seeing them both gone is a big letdown. Rossiu...his ego is getting too inflated. And preventing humans from going underground was absolutely terrible. Viral made the right move tbh. I like how the kids and everyone else matured though. Kiyoh and Dayaka are parents! Also still really like Kittan - he's a cool character. |
| What the fuck did I just watch? Is this the same show? This episode was better than all the previous ones combined. |
 |
| That's a heck of a lot of progress for seven years. (Recall how it took seven days to topple Teppelin? I think there's a connection here.) The tone is quite different, hopefully less crazy, though overall not inherently better. It's too early to judge in that respect: It will depend on how things are handled going forward. I like how Viral called out the hypocrisy of the new system. These Anti-Helix races have piqued my curiosity. These are those whom the Helix King was referred to. |
| A beastman butler for Nia? I knew he had a mysterious identity! |
| So much has changed! I hate it. I love it. I can't wait for the next 10 episodes. (btw, watching this dubbed gives the characters such different personalities after Bleach/Code Geass) |
| So much done in 7 years. Too bad many are dead now. |
| Boooooring I want to see explosions and total war; not this crap |
| Seeing everyone grown up was pretty cool. Simon x Nia finally! Ooooonly to be taken away of course. Cool battle, this will certainly be an interesting arc. And is Rossiu turning into an antagonist? I'd like to see Viral and Simon fighting together, honestly. |
| What an episode. They named he new capital Kamina City. That's awesome and saddening at the same time. I would of loved to see how Kamina would look in the timeskip. Everyone's changed so much! Except Boota. He's still small. We didn't get to see how current time Yoko looks like. I was so happy that Simon proposed to Nia. Fuck yeah! Simon x Nia! But then Nia turns evil/posessed?! I hope she changes back to normal. I don't know if I can take it if she is lost forever. Some people's personalities took a 180 like that one sister and Rossiu. He was super uptight. I know he means well but damn man. Calm down a little. Really excited to where things go. |

| didn't know there was going to be a 7 year time skip, surprised me a bit. i like Rossiu better now actually, or at east find him more interesting. I wish they would have given reasons why there were people that wanted to live underground, There are several good reasons I'm sure but it was odd that they just said that was where those people wanted to live. I had a feeling the spiral kings actions were somehow keeping humanity from total eradication though i didn't expect Nia to be a part of that somehow. |
| I loved this one! Older Simon and friends (for a second even featuring Based Yoko), everyone was cool. And about Rossiu: probably will become a villain with his own following (Kinon!) at some point, maybe a dictator even? Also apparently Nia's programming finally took over her body. I wonder how this extermination protocol she was talking about works. I can see the new arc forming, and this is shaping up to be pretty interesting. |
| This anime went from Desert TransFormers to Code Geass XLR in one episode. How the hell could they build that much in 7 years? Is this even the same anime?! It's getting so good I can't stop watching! |
 |
| I'm seeing a prick Rossiu incoming here`, and Nia....i wanted them to get married.. time skip was a really awesome decision. less of yoko is honestly unpleasant. |
          Galaxy's Dorkiest |
| Nia such beauty now.Wait what ? I thought he liked yoko. |
 |
| What happened with the series? The new scenario is consequent and logical but in my opinion this scenario doesn't work. The rebellion scenario was much better. |
| So many crazy things happening in this episode! Poor Simon ends up causing many fires in the city despite destroying the enemy. Although it seems that either way the city would have still gotten destroyed :( Rossiu does seems to be too focused on staying true to the rules/politics, but I do admit he does have some good points. The only reason why I can see Nia turning into this robotic earth-destroying girl is that Lordgenome put some anti-earth defense mechanism inside of her when he created her. I know that Gurren Lagann is much older, but it's uncanny how similar old Darry and Ersha from Cross Ange look alike! :o |

| overall good episode but Rossiu turned into a dick and no clue on why viral cares about humans now also they completely skipped on developing Nia and Simons relationship but thats ok in an anime like this |
| Kinda better. 3/5 2edgy |
| End Zionazism |
| Rossiu: I told you so! Love timeskips! (Except the catastrophe from Fairy Tail). Accidentally came across a spoiler and now I'm sad. |
 |
| I was sure something like that would happen, can't wait to see the next episode :D |
 |
| Oh so THIS was the big time skip, woops! Rossiu became a real asshole, wth. Only a short Yoko flashback, without Yoko it's only half as good. |
| I don't know if anyone else here has noticed, but this is my 3rd time seeing this episode and I just now realized that Kiyoh's baby was the 1 millionth human on the surface. I feel stupid. |
  Rarity is Best Pony! |
| Seems better than the start. Hopefully it is. This was probably the hardest show to watch in like the last year. And I've heard so many good things about it. I hope it ends up being really good like a lot of posole say. I never give up on any series. |

| This second half is very promising, I liked it when i saw Kamina statue and how they named the city by his name. The anime is now getting more philosophical about the nature of humanity. Great Episode. |
| Looking forward to seeing some mysteries solved; although I suppose "anti-Spiral races" pretty much says it all. Humans vs. aliens time. |
| It's great too see how the characters have changed in these 7 years, I suppose this episode is used for world building and such. |

Mattimand said: I like you, LOL. I'm not a fan of Nia x Simon man.. Yoko x Simon ftw. I thought our ship sunk when he proposed to Nia, but I guess there's still a little bit of hope, since she's now the new villain (even though she's like possessed or whatever) and also because she did initially reject Simon's proposal.FUCK. NO. HE CAN'T MARRY NIA!!! D: I my honest opinion he should go for Yoko. Him, bro and Yoko made memories. He even had feelings for Yoko, and when he ran after seeing her kiss bro… Jeez! Now that bro is gone - what a tragedy v.v - he has Yoko for himself! And Yoko seemed to like him a little too! So why did they separate?? I've been waiting so long for some more romance between Simon and Yoko. Please don't ruin it with Nia… D; As for the actual episode, in general, we need more Yoko, seriously.. Why is she even a main character if, after Kamina died, she's not even useful or around anymore.. They've downgraded her character and it's pathetic. Rossiu definitely needs a slap in the face also.. wait wasn't he just an innocent little kid before? What happened? Man, everyone's gone complacent. |
