| Well, thanks to a lovely Anonymous at 4chan's /a/ I was able to watch this with mostly good subtitles a little early! The first thing I noticed was that the excellent animation has returned to normal!! That alone made the episode at least 50% better than episode 4. I liked this episode quite a bit for many reasons, the first being that it was more serious and had a slower pace than the other four. Although it was a bit grey, I'm glad my eyes could rest for an episode. The living environment of this underground dwelling made me happy to see the glaring sun in the evenings :P Though it was slower paced, the action sequence at the end was still well done. I lol'd long and hard when Yoko was asked to wear that bag to cover up her boobs, and I lol'd harder at Kamina and Simon's attempts to see her belly button, and was extremely happy when she pounded Kamina's lowly self into the ground for doing so. Yoko wa whore ja nai da ~ Lol at the Gainax references in the preview, ranging from Rei and Asuka to Gunbuster 2 characters. Yoko > all of them~ |

| Definitely a vast improvement over the last one. And it's always nice to see more Yoko. |
 |
| Glad that the animation was back and Yoko is as hot as always but i wasn't too fond of the episode. I dont like the slower pace shown in this episode and the story really didnt appeal to me. I want my Gurren episodes to be fast, full of action, and full of Yoko. |

|
| And I know that I should have started TTGL ages ago, but I just never had the time. Now that I've seen the first 5 episodes, I really regret puting this off. Other than the animation of the 4th episode, I'm loving this show at the moment. |
| Yay animation is back on track! Too bad the user on stage6 I was watching with doesn't have episode 6 =_= -goes to search- lol Edit: I give up on stage6, I'll try veoh :P |

| Okay episode, a little slow paced. I guess they felt like doing a slight satire on religion in this episode, and the drawing of the sticks reminded me of "The Lottery." |

| this episode was way too frustrating for me. i dont mind the slow pace story but the high priest annoyedme so much. oh, and the greyscale color was also a little frustrating. |
| wow, filler already, btw i consider filler an ep that reveals nothing about the plot, the characters, and otherwise would not be needed to understand the series. |
    |
| Sigh... Why would a person wear showy clothes if they don't want to be seen? I'll just prefer to think she doesn't much like Kamina. That way she doesn't lose so many points in my book. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| That was good... more serious with the drama of the village, but i still lol'd when they asked Yoko to cover up.. xD and Yoko beating up Kamina is always funny :D The Gurren Lagann combination video is so cool :) Over the top yet still awesome... |
 |
| This episode was okay. There seemed to be an underlying theme of religion being used as a tool. However, I won't go into it, because: A- I can't be bothered. B- I'm not getting my fingerprints on that particular crime scene (particularly on the internet). Also, I still have grey-vision two minutes after watching! |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| Not bad, but kinda boring. In the end, the priest really is a man looking for his village. I expected him to be more evil. I don't mind adding Rossiu to Team Gurren, but what about two children ? Obviously, they'll prove themselves useful later, but was it really needed ? |
| I don't get the complaints about the animation. The last episode was fine. In fact the story was better, and it was funnier. This episode was weak compared to the last one. |

 |
| Definetly better with this animation. Anyway i wish this show stopped with the power ranger thingy. Is fucking annoying. |
| Good to see the animation back on track. This episode looked promising and I thought the High Priest was actually evil, so I was a bit disappointed. I didn't like the decision of turning the colors into grey. It was hilarious seeing Yoko getting herself covered and beating Kamina xD, and it was also very funny when Kamina stood up to the High Priest. |
 |
| I don't know why I'm still watching this show. Probably because of its action. I hate the animation at all. It's not detailed that much. It's ugly. One thing I hate in this show is its animation. |
| I didn't even notice episode 4 had bad animation but this whole episode was grey and was pretty boring really. |
 |
| Definitely the best episode so far imo. |

| The only thing that this anime lacks is a good animation/effects. |

| EPIC transition! |
     |
| decent episode ^_^ held some philosophy senses and stuff ^_^ |

| Great story in this episode. |
 |
| Loved the story told here. I love it when my shows have stand alone episodes. |
| Aw, I love the little side stories. &&& LOOOOL at Kimina getting his ass whooped by Yoko. I <3 her. xD |
 |
| I liked this episode more than the last one. |
 |
| That was a nice little aside! I hope we see the three kids again in the future! That would be cool to see their adventures! |
 |
| Not a bad ep, looking forward to the rest. :) |
| More Yoko is always nice. xD This anime is getting slightly better but I still don't see whats so spectacular about it to be honest. Hopefully my opinion changes after a few more episodes. =p |
 |
| Having seen the first 5 episodes now, I can't say I care much about this anime. Kamina is a pompous buffoon and Simon is a pussy. And I find the plot to be kind of ridiculous right now. The only redeeming qualities atm is that homo guy is funny sometimes, and Yoko is a nice piece of ass. Otherwise I'm finding it to be pretty dull. |
| While this episode was okay and it was interesting to have it done mostly in greyscale, I'm just waiting to see when the story is gonna pick up. And I'm with the majority on this forum that we def need more Yoko, and not covered up either! xD |
| I didn’t really like this episode mainly for its subject matter. I always cringe when anime portrays a monotheistic religion, especially Christianity or something clearly made in imitation of it. With only one percent of Japan’s population being Christian, it is understandable that the majority of Japan does not understand Christianity. What is unfortunate is that anime almost always portrays Christianity (or its anime imitations) negatively, which only goes to reinforce negative stereotypes. While I’m sure there are people here who may agree with anime’s portrayal of Christianity and some who don’t, I hope we can all agree that doing so is bad if it stems from ignorance instead of personal inquiry. |
| yes this animation is definetly better |
 |
| I didn't like the High Priest until he explained with they were doing the 50 guys thing. Seems like its +3 to the Gurren Team! |
Koreth said: I know this is way way way old, but I'm just catching up and I thought I'd mention: Yoko = white mage. You said it was way old when you posted a few months later. xD I'm replying 5 years later. Wow. Anyway, I know right? She does look like a white mage!! :D |

Fortunately it has returned to its original art style. I would have dropped this episode if it was like 4th's style >_> |
  |
| Nice episode, the beginning was quite funny xD though why that same gunman came back I wonder, still nice episode! Up to the next one :D |
 |
| Not much to say about the episode itself, it seemed pretty much like every other anime that tackles strange religion, but I do appreciate the attention drawn to Yoko's sexy ass body. She's a work of art, that girl :3 I laughed when the weirdo called her out on her... ehem... risque outfit (or lack of one) :P But hey, now we know why she dresses like she does - Freedom of movement! I don't know if i buy that but whatever - It's anime xD |

| I though this was a great episode filled with social commentary... on religion, laws...etc |
  |
| I wonder if there will be romance with Yoko |
 |
| Wow pretty depressing that they can't have more than 50 people in that village. |
