Yeah as per usual who's coming to save the fudging day, it's Simon. When Rossiu's shitty ass plan doesn't work, Simon comes to save his ass. Unbelievable. Simon is so awesome and frikin' Rossiu locks him away. The only friggin' guy who has a chance at saving the world he locks away in prision while he runs away like a little scaredy cat. I don't think I'll ever like him and if he doesn't die by the end of this series I'll be seriously disappointed.

I was skeptical at first but I really liked how Yoko became a school teacher. That showed a side of her character that I didn't think was there.

Very good episode. I wonder what's going to happen with Simon and Nia. Is he going to get Yoko in the end? I wouldn't mind that. Honestly I really wanted them to get closer ever since she kissed Kamina. I wished the story had explored that love "triangle" a bit more before Kamina died but overall this anime went in a cool direction I guess. I'm glad I gave it chance.

Not really an exciting team up.

1) very predictable
2) cliche
3) had no build up/good reason - just for fanboys

Which part was cliche? Good guy teaming up with a bad guy?


It's interesting that Yoko became a teacher...

The part in the village was kind of interesting (I'm not really a fan of this show), as well as Yoko's "lesson" for the invaders.

This was without a doubt my favorite episode so far. I feel bad for saying this because I usually love any anime I watch and I know it's super popular and I usually end up loving all the popular series but there was just something about this show that never clicked with me. I've never dropped a series but I was so tempted to drop this series. The ending episodes are usually best and hopefully the rest of the episodes are like this one. I did really enjoy this one.
The only thing I didn't like is the way yoko looks. I think it's something about her face. I think she looks like a dude. Which is weird because I always thought she was pretty cute. I'm not sure what they changed about her face but I do not like it at all. She's so cool though.

This episode was perfect, it even gave some "backstory" (technically it's what she did in these 7 years, but I digress) to Yoko, what a plus!

Yeah, they ruined Yoko's character alright. For one, when she went back into her normal clothes, it didn't even look like she aged at all after 7 years... welp. Her backstory is also kinda lame tbh.. She became a teacher at some random island.. I mean couldn't she have became a teacher at Kamina city? or is it that she just can't deal with civilization whatsoever..

Anywho, I can't help but think that someone's gonna die, whether it'd be soon or in the finale.. I mean Kamina died, so technically I don't think anyone is safe either.. Welp, hopefully it's not Yoko or Simon.

Eh ... not a fan of the first half, Yoko being a teacher and what not.
Viral and Simon are a great combo, Viral has experienced so much since the beginning and I've really started to like him.

I really am not sure how to rate this.

I hated the first half of the show, while important in character and world building I found it extremely boring and irritating to watch. The dialogue. The dialogue was the worst. This was probably the first time "Who the hell do you think I am!" gave me goosebumps. The heroes return! Other times I was mentally rolling my eyes.

I much prefer the post Kamina City episodes, it's just getting more and more epic. Gainax is certainly creative, but this has played out in their other series like
Contrary to other people who enjoy the 'mindless' shounen yelling and action in the first half.

Kinda funny how things work out like that.

Was nice to see what Yoko did in the mean time, this made up for the lack of her in the previous episodes.


That end was soo epic, "Who the fuck do you think we are ? "

Simon and Viral joining forces = WIN

Half an episode to focus on Yoko was good for knowing more about her character. She's a nice role model and a hot teacher but seeing her don her signature flaming attire and owning those two giant gunmen was spectacular~

Of course, if you get out of the planet that was the only Spiral territory thousands of kilometers away, you have to deal with the Anti-Spirals all over you lol

Simon's reunion with Dai Gurren and Boota's reunion with Yoko's breasts was touching. Seeing Simon and Viral combine their hot-blooded spirits and delivering the drill that pierced the heavens to the enemy with such awesomeness made me rack up my score to a 9!

Rossiu is a complete dumbass. The entire Spiral King War, the conflict that freed humanity only seven years ago, was centered around mechas that responded to emotion, and Rossiu is surprised that the space-faring battleship of the Spiral King himself would respond in the same manner. What a dumbass.

Well, I didn't mind the whole futuristic city thing but how the hell does the show justify an 80's Japanese rural school complete with aged cabin and old TV in the middle of a futuristic world in which there *was no* immediate past? I mean 6 years ago there was no human structures which means the school was constructed at the same time as Kamina city...

Too much artistic liberty with the world just to apply an anime cliché...

But other than that, it was fine getting Yoko back and the team reunited. Seems like it is confirmed Simon doesn't have hard feelings for Rossiu (at least for the moment).

PS: Also, the gunmen bandits survived the huge explosions. For a show about the destruction of humanity and where Simon bombarded an entire neighborhood with explosive bits, they sure are strict about not letting some nameless enemies implicitely die in camera? Even as all the four generals and King Genome were killed in sight...

Kamina has truly become the god in this world, his unwavering determination and personality make boy Simon a man.

It's so poetic. In the past, Viral wanted his helmet back so bad because of his pride, and he could never get it back. But now, when he finally let go of his pride, he got the helmet back.
