Actually it said one month later, when Simon and Yoko visited kamina's grave.

When reinforcements arrived I was that stupid to believe that Kamina resurrected to avenge himself. ( I had the right to do it since this is anime world I'm talking about)

Can you please stop using kamina catchphrase. It was cute the first time now its just stupid. Also wth yoko said at his grave? Anywho pretty neat episode. No more genirals so its only the big bad left. Dam those humans were stupid. Why blinding march to your death after the first 10 examples.

Meh episode indeed. The action was okay-ish. There wasn't much else to speak of.

It was kinda boring overall. Hopefully the next episode will be better.

man, 2 generals in one episode, talk about action packed.

I liked Cytomander, he was some kind of crazy

could those reinforcements have been any dumber? lucky them Nia was there to tell them to stop acting like a bunch of lemmings.

i wonder what they're going to throw in there to fill the rest of the show considering it is only half over and they already killed the generals and got to Tepplin.

What did Yoko say at Kamina's grave!? I swear the Gurren Lagann gets more badass with every episode. Awesome fight is awesome! The last 2 generals are down! And Tepplin is a Gunmen too!? Great episode! Onto the next episode!

Kamina's really dead isn't he... god damn. Though I guess Simon's development as a character has made up for Kamina's absence in the show. Viral and the Spiral King are the only really opponents left and we're only half way through the season so I'm excited to see how the plot plans out.

I still think the battle scenes were mediocre. Too flashy and quick, and not a really strategic fight scene kind of battle.

I did like the drilling scene at the end.

Really liked the fight, but it feels unusual to have not many comedy moments. Great Episode, though.

The "One month later" kinda surprised me but it was really cool seeing these fights.
Boss fight incoming?

Final drilling scene especially was cool.

That battle went very well for our hero's.

A drill that pierces the heavens about probably everything else.

Scary looking face at the end can only mean bad news ahead.

Seeing those little drills pierce the airborne enemies causing them to explode was awesome af

They beat two Generals in one big battle! Dai Gurren stabbing its codpiece into Cytomander's mech and blowing him up along with his ship ♥

Guame spun and spun 'til the end. His spiral has gone full circle I guess. I thought Simon was gonna fly to the top of the spiral and dive down lol.

Nia pretty much saved the backup from killing themselves. Good job. The Teppelin is one giant goddamn gunmen good lord...

well all the generals are defeated and they have reached the capital... they were pretty lucky seeing they only lost Kamina and new allies (who plundered for their own death)

There was so much spinning in this episode. Must have been the most spinning so far. Will there be another episode that presents even more spinning? Sounds difficult to achieve, but I believe in the show that believes in spinning.

Still inspiring other villagers to rise up, brilliant.

So we got a Banchō character (not a JoJo reference), his name is even an anagram of the term.

That kamikaze crap was dumb. But moving to know those other naked apes were inspired by Gurren Lagann's exploits.

I wonder what those falling cylinders were. And of course the Teppelin thing is another gunman. Did they really not suspect that? EVERYTHING is a gunman.

I felt like there was a huge gap between the end of episode 13 and the start of 14, as if an episode were skipped. The whole planting of Kamina's katana to open the episode? And the spiral king never finished explaining what humans are at the end of episode 13...

Meh episode ngl. The action and animation was good but the fights are getting a bit repetitive. And I'm disappointed that we didn't get to know about the history of humans :(

Again tons of epic action and...yeah the reinforcements were a bunch of morons. Seriously if Nia wasn't there to stop them all of those gunmen would've died. Nothing says epic like a good ol' sky battle for me. Looks the vast majority of the generals apart from Viral who is still alive.

Things are gonna get intense from here on out after this episode. I can already tell. Now this is starting to sound like a cliche at this point but this was certainly a great episode once again. What can I say Gurren Lagann is just that good of a show.
