It was immediately recognizable that Jouji Nakata voiced Magin, but really did he also voiced Rossiu like the cast page stated?! If so freaking impressive!

Man those were some tough living conditions but that's the kind of world it is because of all the beasts.

Interesting episode storywise, liked it that they were a bit more serious with this one.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Geez Kamina is such a dick. Picking a fight with the high priest because why not? He didn't even do anything except attempt to lead the village, and Team Gurren was even trying to get him to stop.

At least Simon is starting to finally become more of a fighter, that's good.

I was kinda pissed with the priest... (I think hate his attitude) but I guess the people can not urvive if people of the village get growing...

I wonder if that incredibly deep abyss that the Gunmen fell down will be relevant at all. Do other underground villages have them? Do they link up to anything? But more than likely it was just a convenient death pit for the enemy to fall down and disappear.

Rossiu losing his faith. Emotional episode.

I expected Team Gurren to embrace a god guise more and maybe not get out of their Gunmen, as superior gods to the priest's god.

To the people watching this for first time that think it's filler

(ALMOST) SPOILER:

THis village and it's custom play a *Major* part in the initial part of the second arc.

And yes it does get serious from Ep 17 (for a while, anyways)

Though from ep 08 onwards it stops being a mostly "comedy" anime.

Team Gurren grows. Enjoyable little side quest episode and I really liked Rossiu's character.

Also..um, cover up a little Yoko, there's kids on the team, now.

Such a beautiful and touching episode. Clearly an improvement compared to the previous episode.

Yoko's bra LOL.

And finally Rossiu, Gimmy, and Darry join the team!

It keeps getting better and better. Things happen when you least expect them lol. How is Kamina so likable?!! Overall it was a sweet and engaging episode.
3 more characters join the main team.

3/5

Not much to say in this episode except that the ending was wholesome and everyone is happy. I'm still mad, why that old guy is alive.

So this underground village was more theocratic with how it maintains security unlike the village Simon and Kamina came from

Animation as I predicted is back to normal and this episode is focusing on a particular village that sees the gunmen as gods. And honestly as fast paced as Gurren Lagaan can be, I’m glad we get a more slower episode focusing on the world itself not that the action is a bore, it isn’t, it’s more or less the fact that we haven’t focused on the world we are in at this point in the show. Really liked the sort of monochrome for the entire episode apart from when Simon and Kamina combined to make Gurren Lagaan which I thought was a pretty neat touch there to contrast the dark caverns that make up the village.

Yoko pretty much being told to cover up was amusing. XD Anyways this episode was definitely an improvement over episode 4, definitely a beautiful episode and engaging I feel. Plus team gurren has 3 new members in the form of Rossiu, Gimmy, and Darry. It sounds like this show is going to get serious but for now I prefer it’s comedic tone as a whole for the time being anyway. Otherwise a beautiful episode like I’ve said before and definitely something we needed as a change of pace in terms of Gurren Lagaan episodes so far anyway.

covering up Yoko for most of the episode really drove home just how bad things are down there
based forehead boy did the right thing
