FUCK YOU ROSSIU, FUCK YOU!!!! I was still banking on him being a good guy for the last two episodes, BUT THIS IS JUST FUCKING TOO MUCH!!!! RAGE!!! And that Kittan/Kinon scene was magnificently done. STILL. FUCK YOU ROSSIU, YOU SON OF A BITCH.

Poor, poor Simon... First Nia, the love of his life, turns bad, and now he's fucking sentenced to death. Wonderful. Wish Kamina was here...

Seriously, I feel like this part after the time-skip is way better than the 1st part. 1st part I would rate maybe a 6 or a 7, this part right now is definitely a 9. We'll see what happens at the end, I guess.

I so wish Kittan would have landed one of those punches, damn.

Seems pretty hopeless as of now but we all know Simon'll pull through somehow :D

Next ep looks to be quite humorous as I'm pretty sure I saw half naked Viral kicking people in the preview. Hmmm.

ALSO the whole scene with Beamspam screwing with Lon was so effing funny, I was choking from laughter. The whole gay jokes with Gimmy thing was great too, that whole thing was great.

I think Rossiu has just become my favorite character. He truly lives the life he preaches. He was willing to sacrifice the person he cares the most about to ensure the greater survival of humanity, and I believe he would be willing to sacrifice himself if it is best option. He is the only person in the show who truly puts others before himself. I respect that because I understand that that is what a leader has to do. I don’t want to see my head of government sacrifice his people to fulfill a selfish wish, I expect them to govern or leave if they are unable to do so.

I already hated Rossiu so that isn't anything new but now Kinon, I'm just disappointed. I'm pretty pissed off now because I kind of liked Kinon in the first half of the show and I really don't like to see a character I liked be with such a prick. I seriously hope that someone (preferably one of her siblings) talks some sense into her.

Regardless of what anybody else says, Rossiu is still my favorite character. How about this, how about we wait until the end of the show before we make judgements on characters doing what is needed to be done? You guys probably thought Commisioner Gordern was a butthole because he had to hunt Batman and the end of The Dark Knight, didn't you?

I like the direction the show is going in. Will be very interesting to see how Simon gets out of this..possibly teaming up with Viral? And I was kinda hoping to see Yoko given the thing was attacking Littner village :(

Maybe Rossiu should've died 7 years ago. He seems so freaking conceited, okay like what some others have said, maybe we are judging too early but still, maybe he should've died.

I grew fond of Viral since a few eps back and i hope he'll team up with Simon or something. YOKO WHRU??

Simon gets sentenced to death and Gurren Lagann is scrapped. Another great episode. Rossiu continues to be a meanie. The ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH! remix at the end was amazing. It also looks like Rossiu and Kinon have some sort of relationship growing.

The only real downside is that when they showed Littner I expected Yoko to show up.

Seriously, Fuck him.
I began watching this show from since this morning and believe me, I'm pissed.
I don't care how great a character he professes and shows to be, within all this B.S, he's a dick.

I hope someone kills him,

Whether it's the Reign of Terror, the Spanish Inquisition, or the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, most of the great crimes against humanity have been justified by arguing that it would bring about the greater good for the greater number in the long run and Robspierre, Torquemada, and Truman undoubtedly believed it. Rossiu's plan for the future is to replicate the village of his youth with a culling number of 1,000,000 instead of 50. Sincerity of belief is not a justification for monstrous acts, at the most it only puts you slightly ahead of the hypocrites or opportunists who don't believe in what they are doing, but who do it anyway because it allows them to stay in power or reap the rewards.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I hope Rossiu won't have the same fate as some traitors from other anime ( traitor doesn't get punished for betrayal )
Kinon is acting like those women from NTR, I mean she gives up on everything to be with that Rossiu , *cough*slave*cough*
I'm looking forward to see Viral and Simon teaming up in the next episode.

I hate how in the first arc the good guys won because they were manly and awesome, and now its just because they have space magic.

What happened to the awesome comedy, the gainax animation, and the crazy situations?

This just feels like another fucking generic Sci Fi mecha now just with more explosions.

Man, it's depressing to see how everyone on Rossiu's side, who used to be such enjoyable and beaming characters, have now all changed for the worst. Also the masses of citizens are so ungrateful and have shown how quickly the public can shift to serve their own self interests in acts of desperation. Still, I do not hate Rossiu, as I'm sure he's just doing what he thinks is the best course of action. However, I think his lack of faith in Simon and the death penalty have gone too far, and he's now just become a cold and calculating aristocrat.

Simon is getting put in a cell with Viral huh? I hope Viral becomes his new partner in the Gurren Lagann.

Okay wow. The past two episodes bought me from contemplating dropping this series, to actually really wanting to see the next episode. Everything about it just got loads better; the conflict is much more interesting now, there's solid drama to go along with the action, the characters all feel far more serious and dynamic, even the art seems to have jumped up in quality.

It took it 17 episodes, but it seems Gurren Lagann finally put its big boy pants on...though I wish Simon would stop saying "bro". I get the reasoning behind it and all that, but I still find it annoying and cheesey as hell. Just grow up and call him your brother damnit.

Wow...I fucking hate Rossiu now, he acts all high ad mighty and is taking credit for everything when he hasn't really done shit. How dare he condemn Simon like this, last time I checked, he was in the fucking cockpit of Gurran the whole time while Simon was fighting the Spiral King. Hell, if it wasn't for that and Simon defeating the Spiral King, he wouldn't even have the authority he has now. Actually if it wasn't for Kamina and Simon, he'd still be a fucking hole underground worshiping some stupid face god!!!

I really hope Simon can dig his way out of this one, or either Yoko finally makes her appearance and busts him out of there. That'd be awesome

Wow damn, I definitely take back what I said about last episode, Rossiu has become a complete and utter prick. Just like his father. He may be a clever bastard, but his heart is now rotten to the core. I don't think he gives two shits what happens to anyone. Even if the end results are "justified", I don't think the ends always truly justify the means. Betraying his former friends so easily... and also willing to sacrifice Kinon like it's nothing. Maybe he knew Simon would have to obey his morals and not run away, but that's still a horrible thing to do. If humanity is so willing to blame their savior like that, then they're not even close to worth sacrificing your friends for, let alone saving.

I'm glad he got put in with Viral, I can definitely see them working together now. Can't wait to see them destroy Rossiu. He can pretend all he wants that it's for the good of humanity, but just like his father now he's just a power-hungry and blinded by what he can gain from this... even if he doesn't realize it.

TheWestExit said:
and this ep basically cements the fact that everybody hates Rossiu. If you for some reason were still holding out, you know hate his guts like everyone else.
Ha, pretty much. I wanted to think there was still some good in him, but nothing pisses me off more than people discarding their humanity to do the "logical" thing. I don't know that he can redeem himself at this point, but I think he'll probably see the error of his ways in the end, possibly on his death-bed.
