That battle was insane (and nice save, Yoko)! I'm starting to think Nia's faith isn't all blind... Perhaps she has some future vision? Also rip her hair (which still looks like cotton candy).

Loved the battle that took place in this episode and I long so much to come. But that Viral never dies, I think he will get some attention in this anime.

welp that was pretty fanservicey. The part where the kids were shot up the ladder was pretty funny.

That underwater battle was awesome, especially Simon his drilling through water. Bye Adiane, you won't be missed.

If Nia was any more nice, innocent and full of faith she'd be the god damn Virgin Mary. I think she's been captured and saved four times already as well. Replacing Kamina with Nia is a significant downgrade at this point. But the show is entertaining enough to keep me watching.

I feel like you're all 6 year olds.
Nia is more annoying tham Ussop and Nina combined. This whole "im so cute and deep and wise at the same time" bullshit isn't selling.

1/5.

Also feels like I'm seeing lots of filler shit for a 2-cour.

I am kind of surprised that Nia grew up like that even though she was raised in a hellish place.

Thought this battle was lacking; Adenine died too quickly.

The thing that bugged me most about this episode is that Viral magically survives AGAIN... getting tired of that guy. For a beach episode the fanservice was pretty boring, fighting was okay but nothing surprising. Nia looks better with short hair imo.

Loved it, the beach scenes were pretty funny (although I don't quite like the lolicon thing, but I digress) the fight was great and the plot advanced. I though this was going to be a filler episode and I was quite impressed.

Fight scene underwater was pretty cool, I'll give it that.
Nia looked way better with longer hair.
Honestly, they're starting to ruin Yoko's character, I mean I guess she was pretty cool at the end, but they're really downgrading her. And I will forever ship Yoko x Simon.

I can't stand the characters. I don't know what FLCL did differently to make me think it was a great masterpiece and this an average overrated mainstream supported show.

It doesn't matter how great the animation, art and music is.

A smelly turd in a moroccan bathroom will still stink to high heaven. I can't stand the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, daughter of Mary Sue.

Don't get it twisted, a show doesn't get high ratings if it isn't packing some serious punch. But for now, I couldn't be more disappointed.

After days of trying to watch the second half of this ep due to shitty internet connection, I finally finished it.

Lol'd at Nia acting clueless about volleyball then suddenly being very good at it and saying that she was taught sports at the palace.

The concealed swimsuits provided the best ass fanservice but I would've liked it if they'd worn a string bikini. Saying that it's a good way of Nia to bond with the crew is a great excuse coz it's a valid one~

That transition bumper was the first instance I thought about Adiane being hot... She died too soon but Viral must've had it worse. He must feel useless when he couldn't protect half of the Four Generals.

Gurren Lagann always have me wondering on how those drills got in there but nevertheless it looked awesome ♡

At the cost of her sky locks, Yoko showed some ass and saved Nia. A big loss for DAI-Gurren but a new start, I guess ;_; That haircut scene was touching tho.

I'm glad they enjoyed their little vacation while it lasted.

Yoko got no idea how to act in those situations.

Nice idea again from Simon, he really did well in that tough encounter.

Really liked the little bit and the bonding afterwards between Yoko & Nia.

I do like the new look for Nia.

That's 1 general down.

Wasn't expecting a beach episode lol. I like them anyway, but I have to praise this show for giving us a reason for it and how it was executed in general.

Nia is really coming into her own. She is doing a good job of being there for Simon and Yoko.

Two generals down. 2 more to go. Then Viral and finally the big boss.

Rest in peace Adiane.
Poor Viral, I started to like him.
To be honest, I have lost a bit of interest of this show after Kamina's death. :(

A really funny epsiode which made me laugh really hard especially at the beginning with Yoko being jealous at Nia xD

But sadly, the good time doesn't last that long and ends up in a fight once again...

Nia with long hair was better, but overall another great episode. I have a strong feeling that we're gonna witness a big turning point in the show soon, because it doesn't seem that this "fighting with beastmen" formula will hold for a long time, given that Gurren Lagann is so ridiculously strong that even the strongest generals don't pose a threat to it. So my prediction is that somewhere halfway through the show we'll get a big revelation or a change of the main enemy or something like that. Kill la Kill (another show by Imaishi) went this way too.

Simon is becoming more and more badass. Digging through the water and saving their base was awesome. Also destroying that massive scorpion/centipede thing.

That was a nice meaningful beach episode. Not just something they decided on a whim because fanservice woohoo. They have a legitimate reason for putting it there, which I appreciate. And Nia asserting dominance over Yoko to show who is best girl.

I'm not really a fan of short hairs but let's see if I'll warm up to it.

The worst episode so far imo. Just didn't think the sea battle was cool at all. Torpedo dolphins were stupid. That annoying guy who has a clown-looking face and is always firing things prematurely is not providing comic relief. He's making the show worse.

I felt like something was missing this episode. Something was off. I think the absence of Kamina is finally starting to truly be felt in the show. The cast is incomplete. I wonder if it can regain that spark.

I'm still going to watch. It's still a good show. Need to see how things go from here.

The first half of this episode was really cute and wholesome, we got to see a lot of shirtless men and women lol :p
The second half was epic!! Rip Adiane, she was a pretty good villian. And the animation was mind-blowing!!
The ending was really cute. I wonder if Yoko was really aiming for Nia or not. I'm guessing she wasn't.

4/5

Underwater battle and Simon defeated the enemy and saved everyone with his new ability. Now 2 out of 4 beasts are dead, and two left.
Scenes with Yoko on beach were hilarious!

This episode almost ruins the series for me, I don’t typically mind the fan-service much in the show, but the shots of her detailed crotch and ass along with the much older guys getting nosebleeds looking at her just left me feeling disgusting. SERIOUSLY SHE LOOKS LIKE 13-14. Yucky :(

A beach episode but with a twist. I did like the underwater fighting and for all the stuff about "Avenging" her fellow teammate, Adiane dies very quickly and ends up joining said teammate. The beach stuff was also pretty good as well, it's good to see that Yoko finally becomes friends with Nia.

Though I do feel people are being a bit hasty with Nia's new hairdo. I don't mind it personally but otherwise another great episode there.
