The last four (Five?) episodes will determine the legacy of this show in the world of GAR. So far it hasn't disappointed. Heh HA!

Nia better come back safe and sound with billions of Anti Spirals dead in the attempt to rescue her. Something like the second coming of Gunbuster and Diebuster.

I am sooooo excited to see where this series is going...

...and ummmm... after seeing what Rossiu did w/ Genome... anyone else think he needs to do that with Kamina... and the Gurren Laggan??? ROFL (j/k, j/k... Viral is a more than apt pilot... I would just love to see Kamina back in some shape, form, or fashion.... T_T)

I dont think we'll see Kamina back.
After all they had a long time to develop the technology to create genome's head as a computer. While Kamina is burried. Also it wouldn't be the real Kamina anyway. We'll just have to deal with the loss ;_;

Did anyone else think Arc-GurrenLagann looked sort of like EVA 01 + Gunbuster?
Probably already been mentioned but it was one of the first things I noticed.

The Moon turning into a Jack-o-lantern was hilarious.

A Ganmen piloting a Mega-Ganmen is just totally meta. I love it.

Its past 1am and I'm about to pass out now, but I have to chime in with: EPIC. EPIC. EPIC.

If you want to see another anime involving a 'badass' use of our loveable moon then check out the last couple episodes of Reideen. :D

Man... I don't want to be repetitive about all the awesomeness compressed in this episode... But the fact that a Ganmen was riding another Ganmen was pure win. Ark-Gurren Lagann, FTW!!! =3

The old Nia still exists. =o I was wondering what they were going to do with the remaining episodes... Let's kick some Anti-Spiral asses!!!

Was pretty awesome, I thought the part at the very beginning of the series was Gurren Lagann combining with the arc to for some kind of Super Arc Gurren Lagann but now I'm guessing it's Gurren Lagann combining with the moon.

Not saying the episode was bad.

But why did the Arc-Gurren-Lagann stay transformed when they left? Was it because the drill was pushed into the control hole thing?

I'm surprised nobody feels sorry for all the citizens in the Arc-Gurren when it transforms. Noone in his right mind could ever do that, there're ~180,000 people inside its legs and arms and body, and its kicking around like that. Gonna ****ing kill all the passengers, gg.



Mini Ganmen -> Small Ganmen -> Medium-size Ganmen - Medium-big Ganmen -> Big Ganmen -> Bigger Ganmen -> X-Large size Ganmen -> XXL Size Ganmen -> Huge Ganmen -> Gigantic Ganmen...



Woa, I wonder when will this ridiculous trend would stop, lol... =)) Really a series for Kids after all! =))

i find it hard to believe no one is questioning how that huge ass ship that's as big as a the moon that almost destroyed the earth....can actually fit INSIDE the earth....or is it just THAT big that people in earth could see it clearly?

yeah i know the answer. its anime!

in any case, this was a pretty good ep and damn nia for being moe. omochikaeri!

I agree.

Definitely the worst episode of the series, even more than the recap one. I'm very tired of this show, luckily there are only 5 episodes for the ending.

Yes, because the show has followed realism in every other aspect for 22 episodes, right?

You've missed the point of this anime so badly it makes you look more stupid than the premise of the show, which is quite clearly not taking itself seriously.

Its more funny watching you take the show so seriously. Anyone who criticises TTGL for any logistical details is ironically not mature enough to appreciate this show.

It's not mature to say that every episode is SO EPIC. At this moment this series is very decent, but oh surprise, it's located in the first place of the ranking. I don't understand nothing... with the amount of epic series that there are floating around the history. I keep watching...

Its epic because it gets exponentionally bigger as the series goes on, from underground to space, from a small mecha to a ship the size of the frickin moon, its the exponentional factor that makes us shout 'epic', its the grand scale of a bunch of plucky humans kicking logic, reason and the odds against them in the face and going forward anyway.

A character says, I dont know in which episode, 'your chances of succeeding was 0%, it seems reason doesnt matter to you guys" which is meant to make you laugh.

Laugh? Remember how to do that guys? Think I need to bump a thread I made a while back...

Awesome episode. For me the little part with Nia at the end gave it a nice little uplift too, on top of their battle victory against the Anti-Spiral Extermination System or whatever it's called. :)

And of course, the Viral and Simon combo is pure win. As was Gurren-Lagann combining with Arc-Gurren and... the moon cathedral thingy. Just -awesome-. :D

Quoted for the absolute truth.

The very reason why I was disappointed with the first post time skip episodes was due to the very fact that everyone was now serious and talking about government and everything.

Don't get me wrong, I love intelligent series, but TTGL is NOT meant to think, its meant to make us give in to our primal and basic instincts, forget every notion of reality and just have fun as we watch pretty shiny things blow shit up!

Anyone here want a serious anime with giant robots?
Go watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, also by Gainax.
If you want to use your brains that much, it won't disappoint.
