Viral FTW in this ep, I'm really liking him.
Boota ftw too, crazy boob loving rodent.

Cythomander or whatever is annoying and I want him to die, but I'm glad they didn't kill him off in this ep, that'd be really boring.

Short-hair Nia is cute as well as her cooking attempts, but poor Rossiu, rofl.

Looking forward to 14~.

Another awesome episode. Everything was just right. Cute Nia, Hot Yoko, cool Simon and a good dose of funny. Air battle's ftw~ and the fight against Viral was sweet too. And to top it all off we get a preview of an episode that can potentially be epic. Definitely looking forward to it.

This episode was awesome. I'm really liking Simon now that he's kinda gotten over things...
And the air battle had so many good elements. Drill-slinging, flying Dai-Gurren kick... can't wait for the next episode.

Sky battle roxx... Viral owned me. Gurren-Lagann fusion with the flying gunmen was nice. I think that Yoko will fall 4 Simon ;) It's just a matter of time (and Epizods).

Flying kick ftw. Simon ftw. Viral ftw.

Anyways, wow@the animation of the scene with Yoko telling Simon that she loved Kamina.

Next week's title seems to suggest someone dies. <_<; Aren't getting a new ED soon?

I know I know, again I bring back a dead thread, but I have to after this episode.

First, check Aokaado's spoiler pics, the last one, boota in Yoko's boobs... now, remember a few eps back at the hot springs when boota was bear-hugging kamina's penis ? I declare, that by the transitive property, Kamina's penis has officially touched Yoko's boobs. Go anime.

I'm sure you all recall that Boota is constantly sitting on Simon's shoulder.
Well then, I declare by the transitive property that Kamina's penis touches Simon's shoulder nearly every day ;)
(I'm sure someone has a fetish for it.)

But wait, that'd also mean Yoko's boobs touched Simon's shoulder.

This is getting awkward xD
So uh, I think, something happened while I was watching these episodes. I might've skipped 13? I'm not sure. I have watched 14 and 15, so I guess when I comment those ones I'll find out what went wrong. lol.

And with that flykick this show finally gets a score of 10 from me, haha.

I like a villain with honour, Viral isnt so bad.

I absolutely love the pilot of the Dai-Gurren, he's so hilarious. He looks like he belongs in One Piece.

Kick ass episode. And was it just me, or was the animation after the battle (where Yoko was talking with Simon) really smooth?

My thoughts exactly.

For some reason I kind of like Viral, and his inquisitions are finally going to answer my question of "what the hell are the beastmen exactly?"

we're finally about to learn what beastmen are. sweet.

okay, so i actually have discovered i really DON'T like nia with her new hair. It makes her look like she's 10 :\ And it was so cliche to have her be bad at cooking.

i really hate the yoko and simon moments. okay, so i guess i'm just not a fan of yoko....

Simon vs. Viral ...wasn't that bad. It was a good episode overall. Nia's new clothes are sxy. Nice to see yoko have a decent part in an episode, its been a while.

hmmmmm, i'm getting a sneaking suspicion that Viral is gonna kill the spiral king and be the final enemy. they seem to be building Viral up and the Spiral King is not such a great bad guy especially if they fight with ganmen

Nice episode. I was kind of neutral towards Viral in the earlier episode, but he's growing on me. Nia's bad cooking was hilarious-she's so happily oblivious to how horrible her food is. xD; Simon is somehow immune to it, though.

Is it me, or was the animation quality higher than usual when Yoko was talking to Simon after the battle about that she loved Kamina? That scene was beautiful.

Nia became a mere cook.D:
I wanted to see her become a Ganmen pilot.

Also, Yoko was NOT injured enough to stop piloting.
What the hell was Simon thinking?

Yeah...protect her...BY LEAVING HER OUTSIDE OF THE GANMEN.
*facepalm*

A lot of parts of this had great, very detailed animation. I also liked the part inside of the ship.

Also, Viral gained points in this episode for me as well. He was only somewhat positive for me before, now I really like him. I always thought the Beastmen were some sort of experiment in transhumanism by the Helix King for world domination and it worked...until now. And all the underground places were done long ago in an attempt to escape his tyrannical rule.

I guess I'm about to find out.

Oh hey, I forgot to mention that I was happy to get another upgrade again.
I was waiting for another upgrade!

Lol Gurren Lagann with the SpiderMan action :3
When he attached the wings to his back, that was major win haha.
I feel hella sorry for Viral, but that aerial battle between them was sicccck xD

Best scene in this episode,
The flying kick from Dai-Gurren :3. Also Viral standing down was pretty cool.

Pretty good. I think Simon still has feelings for Yoko and she might have some for Simon. At the end though I think it will end up Nia and Simon together.

Viral gained some points imo in this episode for not following the rest of the beastmen... and thinking for himself. Actually this episode asked a lot of questions which is nice since this series doesn't do that often.

The spider-man reference was awesome... and is there anything that Lagann can't combine with? lol

This episode was the BEST episode in a while. The last few have been good not great. This one was great. Largely because it had a lot more Yoko and didn't focus on Nia for the first time in forever. Good character development episode for Yoko, and it gave us a few hints of NiaxSimon, which is the pairing I was rooting for from day one even though I know it won't happen.

Also a great episode for Viral's development. Every time he appears I like him a little bit more.

And the flying kick by the Dai-Gurren? How can you not love that?

My one complaint is that Nia just becomes more and more of a complete cliche. Cute, perfectly sweet girl who can't cook. Gee, haven't seen that before.

Nice air battle, and I liked actually seeing Viral vs. Simon... Simon is pretty cool now that he's gotten over Kamina's death. I feel bad for Rossiu that he had to eat Nia's cooking, blegh... Isn't there anything Nia can do aside from look cute and act brave when it counts?

Viral is one of my favourite villains out there. I mean seriously, you have to have some serious guts if you're disobeying your general/whatever his rank is, just to win with somebody on your own terms, with honour. And after that go and ask the one most powerful dude on earth: what the hell is our opponent, are we really superior to him?...

Me likey. I hope he doesn't die. Or at least dies really epically. (because if he were to make a heel face turn, he'd probably undergo really massive amounts of badass decay.)

Don't know if I missed it these past episode.
But im glad Kamina is gone from the opening.
Out with the dead.
In with what will be tomorrow.

Episode was pretty damn good. Theres always room for ship to ship battles.
Totally saw Nias cooking being terrible and the reason Rossiu was sick

And ah god damnit, Cliff hanger.
