obidos said: I will say I like how Rossiu turned out because well it seems like the way he would of to begin with. Besides it makes the story more interesting this way. Now on to what I really hate, the freaking' ungrateful little shit of Kamina City! I mean yeah I understand why they would freak out about the moon coming and crashing down but heck they are the ones that made me more mad this episode then any thing else. To think that in only 7 years they could forget who had saved them from living underground and not only that how bad their lives were then. The group mentality thing sucks! I agree with you 100% with these statements. Rossiu annoys me, but I can see why he is doing this. It's the "ungrateful little shit" that is pissing me off. Have they really forgotten who saved them? I can sort of see what they're going through...I just didn't think they would riot this madly, so quickly after the 1 millionth human was born. It's surprising how much things have changed in 7 years. I love the whole "futuristic" theme at the moment, reminds me of anime like BGC and GitS. |

| I am kind of obsessed with the Matrix trilogy, and this series has definitely got a Matrix vibe to it, so I'm loving every second. I like how Rossiu's strange and dour upbringing has prepared him for the situation he's facing now. His life in the (Plato's :P) cave and now above ground are paralelled nicely by the fact that sacrifices have to be made to ensure the survival of the species. Nice method of destroying the planet: drop the freakin' moon on them! I love how they up the ante in this show. |

Cribba said: Heh, I liked the Akira reference with the street lights and the buildings panning ;) I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught that. Series has gotten awesome, I see why It's the top rated on here. I was half-expecting one of the fragments of the mogen (I think that's what they called them) to almost hit the ground and for Yoko to show up and shoot it last second, but alas it did not happen. Finally a great number of mysteries from the show have been revealed, mainly "why is everyone living underground in the first place?" |

| wow, suprising episode, i really liked it O.o |
| lol, yawning genome head. The spiral theme was weird since the beginning. And I knew there had to something to that discovery Simon found that was indeed very special. It was hinted at since the very beginning. But sheesh, making something so epic out of something so not-epic. It's...akward. Like if you tried make an epic tale revolving around spoons and forks. It's just sounding crazier and crazier. A race...of screw people. Really. And I thought the brave little toaster was surprisingly epic. Also, Rossiu is an ass. But he has to be. Like obidos has said. He's smart. And being smart sometimes comes at looking like asshole. I don't understand all this Rossiu hate. He's a much more interesting character than pre-skip. He's the only one in government who knows how to be a responsible government official. I'm gonna miss Nia.;_; They'd better bring her back soon!:x And by back I mean not as a villian. Though villian would be better than not at all for a while. Damnit, I'm scared of the direction this is heading. Nia, come back the Spiral side soon! From the intro, it really seems like a two sided thing. And that Anti-Spiral is only in control for the time being. So hopefully Spiral Nia will regain control soon. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I am not liking this change at all. In the first part of Tengen Toppa, every single episode I watched (except for episode 4...) was a 5/5. Not anymore. At least it's realistic about the situation... Retarded human population, retarded government... Just like irl .... Too bad I don't watch anime for that. |

| Rossiu is an asshole, thats called a Cou De'ta, i never like him pfft and now i like him less. So what the people are getting all angry, its not like its Simon's fault, he's just protecting them, if it wasnt for him they wouldnt be there so they can shutup or die (Literally) xD Woo :D |

Azndude said: it's messed up when politics have to use the Political scapegoat... huh? Ah Rossiu how did he become like that... Next episode or two I see Viral helping out Simon. Both are could be housed in the same prison... Edit: Almost forgot about Yoko. :D scapegoat option... and yes i can see that happen Simon,Yoko and Viral fighting against someone else.. |
 |
| This show has taken a very different turn, but I'm not complaining. I very much improve of what it is becoming. |

| Rossiu is an ass and this anime is relly overrated |

| So that's that old man's name. Coco. Lol. AND WHAT THE HELL! Nia doesn't have flowers in her eyes anymore D: And I haven't heard "Who the hell do you think I am!?" in so long too :( I want to see another season of TTGL where it tells Lord Genome's story as a Spiral Knight. ROSSIU GO BACK TO YOUR OLD SELF YOU PIECE OF ****! GOD DAMN IT MAN! Still this was a very interesting episode. It delved a lot deeper into the storyline and I'm looking forward to next episode. |
| <('-'<) <( '-' )> (>'-')> |
| Freaking ridiculous episode, lol. - Bad guy <=> Good guy : Helix King ? Lolol. Nice excuses: "I wanna help you people so I put u undergrounds!" Nice one, lolol. So ****ing lame ! - Simon is never suited to be a leader to begin with. He has no leadership and no potential at all. I had seen the scapegoat coming since episode 16, so no surprise ! Enjoy the prison Simon ! Go dig some more ! - I actually would prefer the new Nia than the old one. The new Nia actually talks more senses. Old Nia was full of ****. - Oh, and congratulations on a government full of idiots and brainless animals : Kittan and the brute twins. Good luck leading a country with that bunch, LOL! |
| The wind is my voice, the moon is my heart. I'm here... So close to you... - "Lullaby", Yuki Kajiura |
| Another wonderful episode. Tha 2nd arc really kick ass ! Rossiu's character is really the best now. I love how he coldly analyses the situation and facts. But i think he'll surely regret it soon. (And that kind of characters usually dies in the end... i hope not... he's thinking like me^^) |
| LOL. WHOEVER THREW THE ROCK AT ROSSIU ROCKS. |
 |
| Looks like this is becoming the classic conflict of Euclidian vs non-Euclidian, with Rossiu leaning firmly toward the former (much like his previous mentor). |
 |
| Awesome episode, a classic representation of a dystopian society formed from a vision of perfection. Rossiu, oh Rossiu, why hast thou forsaken me? Amazing, though, the way they're pulling this off. I'd like to see what happens when I rewatch the series, because, GASP, everyone! The Lord Genome is not a total asshole! :o *shock* I'd be great to watch the first half of it from an entirely new perspective. |
   "Did you just fart?" "No." ... "This is the part where you ask me if I lied." |
| Seriously, rossiu needs to die. But did anybody else think of Zelda Twighlight when the "Faceless" showed up? |
TrevtimusPrime said: ITs been a very mediocre series up untill the timeskip...now im fairly interested....it has definetly shapen up for the better in the past 3 episodes Trevor (OP) I agree. Now the show gets more and more interesting. No more fun and ridiculous situations. |
 |
psygol said: Its been a very mediocre series up untill the timeskip This. Kamina's death definetly gave me the chills but... please, all those ridiculous and overadrenaline fights? I'm now very interested with the injection of drama that TTGL has. I can predict some Viral+Simon alliance. That would be da shit. And i need some Yoko :( |
| Why did Nia have to disappear =|. I want more Nia damn it! Rossiu is definately an asshole, but since he's supposed to be seen that way, they've done a pretty good job of it. Yoko appears to have disappeared completely as well, which is a little odd. |
| Kill the irritating rioting people and then you wouldn´t have to listen to their annoying whining and the anti-spirals would keep away. Problem solved. |
| how did they get a million people in 7 years anyway.... before they could not have had more than 10,000 people.... so they....... Rossiu should just die... cant believe what he did to Simon... who even gave him his position those two kids would have been better than Rossui |
 |
| Rossiu is a big prick (More now)... Nia a bad guy! :O This series is getting somewhat serious now... Miss the funny action packed episodes though. |
| I can't believe all the hate Rossiu is getting. He is single-handedly making the second half of this series awesome with his dickishness. Jerks are so underappreciated. |
 |
| Good episode... Lots of answers, which is good of coourse. But no more Nia? Boo. And I almost get the feeling that Rossiu's going to start killing humans to keep them under the population limit, just like in his stupid little hometown. :S It's hard to tell whether that's really the right thing to do now... The distinction between "good" and "bad" isn't clear anymore, hum. Anyway Rossiu's making it interesting, although I never liked him... |
| Heh... humans are such selfish pricks... But this has gotten way more cynical than usual... I wonder if it will be for the better... |
| FUCK YOU ROSSIU, GO DIE IN A HOLE YOU BIG WIMP! Damn, this is getting intense. |
| I think everyone's a bit harsh on Rossiu. He made the biological computer to try and work out how to save the planet and he had the right idea in keeping the moon part a secret from the masses. I think he had to make an example of someone to stop a full-scale riot. |
 |
windy said: Simon: if you do get put in the same prison as Viral, don't drop the soap! ...LOL. Blaem said: Rossiu did the right thing, if he hadn't done what he did people would have started overthrowing the goverment. I mean it seems like he's the only one who sees the bigger picture.. I'm gradually starting to think like that, too...although what he did feels like betrayal a little. Well, let's hope he works things out. |

| arghh stupid rossiu what an asshole and stupid ungrateful people they were living underground 7 years ago and their on the surface cos of Simon and even when he saves them they are still ungrateful and and Rossiu should have gotten knocked out by that rock |
 |
| WTF this dosent even feel like the same series anymore! |
 |
| Real smart Roshiu, arrest your one and only hope of getting out of this mess. Overall, though, it was a pretty good episode. |

| Maybe Rossiu is doing the 'right' thing, but I still hate him for it. |
| EPIC destruction! |

Zephiel_ said: ...Are you people honestly saying this series got better AFTER the timeskip? Wow. This show has now lost what made it so good before. While the fights were indeed over-the-top ridiculous, they definitely had heart like no other show and were emotional. This has now become shitty dramu which doesn't interest me in the least. I do hope it becomes like it once was later. Seriously. What made this show different and so much better than other mecha-giant-robots-fights was because of its strong spirit, lots of emotion and willpower and awesome characters. The time skip totally changed this whole frikkin series! Politics. Rossiu-the-bastard. Techonolgical advances. Rossiu-the-bastard. Major character disorders. No more adrenaline rishing action and good ol' evil anagonists (instead we've got machines and an alien species now). Rossiu-the-bastard. And worst of all, NO YOKO. It just turned from an epic punch of awesomeness into another one of those giant robot anime. Disappointin |
 |
| Not really. I mean, up until 15ep it's been hilariously fun and sarcasticaly overdramatic, it felt like gainax is again laughing at NGE. And me, kamina sama, saw it was good. Now we have it turned around, and me, kamina sama, sees it even better. sure, lack of yoko hurts, but she'll come back on her knees eventually. also, rossiu was boring fag before, and now he's at last something resembling a human |
 |
| This episode finally answered many question that's be hangig around for a while. Loved this episode. Why does Nia have to be an anti-spiral??? This is definitely not going to end well for Simon. |
windy said: Anyways, good riddance Nia. Sorry, didn't like you much anyways. No Nia is epic. I hope she's able to overcome that anti-spiral thing D: AND OMFG THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL THOSE PEOPLE. Seriously so ungrateful, AND THEN THEY BLAME EVERYTHING ALL ON SIMON? THE HELL D:< He should have just let them die, ungrateful whiny bastards and speaking of bastards Rossiu can go die too D:< |
Divine_Judgement said: ...Are you people honestly saying this series got better AFTER the timeskip? Yes. |
kougi said: I was disappointed with Rossiu and I'm starting to hate him more as the episodes go by. Tru dat |
 |
| Wow great episode, better than last one (which wasn't bad as well) and answered a lot of questions and raised som more. Poor Simon =( So much fighting for this? Humanity = No hope |
 |
SapphireStar26 said: AND OMFG THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL THOSE PEOPLE. Seriously so ungrateful, AND THEN THEY BLAME EVERYTHING ALL ON SIMON? THE HELL D:< He should have just let them die, ungrateful whiny bastards and speaking of bastards Rossiu can go die too D:< Agreed. The people and Rossiu are seriously pissing me off. But that's what makes me want to watch more of this show. Yoko and Viral should come back into the picture and kick Rossiu's ass. |
| Holy shit. Simone fucked up AGAIN, acted like a childish little baby AGAIN, and it seems nearly everyone is praising him. Thank god SOMEONE grew up in the time skip. If Simone didn't want the weight of the world on his shoulders, he sure as hell should have said "NO" to the position of leader of the world. You can't have it both ways. |
