I watched that speech probably 7 times, that part was just awesome. Amazing episode.Simon's speech is one of the greatest moments in the history of anime, and left me in awe. |
 This Fairy Tale Is Ending |
| I haven't enjoyed this show as much as some of you, but I do think this was an excellent episode. And, wouldn't you know it, I think Nia is a huge improvement over Kamina as a character. |

| ^_^ Simon finally snapped out it, and what a way it is. Simon is a far better character when compared to Kamina as of now. He believes in himself, unlike Kamina who have to place his faith on Simon. I'm glad Kamina died, otherwise this show wouldn't have gotten this good. Insan3soldiern said: Nia is a huge improvement over Kamina as a character Nia is the certainly the better character ^_^ Kamina pushes Simon by punching his trust into him, inspiring him to change temporarily, while Nia little by little, provide Simon emotional support and slowly changing his attitude toward things, and permanently open up his character for the better. |

| lol Kittan is such a fawking idiot, it was so obvious that that was a trap. Seriously XD AND ZOMG SIMON X NIA FTW!! <33 I'm loving this pairing so much x3 Also, this Lepchin17 said: Simon....was.....BAD ASS!!! >:D |
| FINALLY his emo stage is over. |

 |
| Simon's back! Cooler than ever! I can't wait to watch the following events unfold. |
 |
| Finally, Simon is back. It's great to see Kamina's character won't die down despite the incident. On another note, tbh, I'd like to see more Simon x Yoko rather than Simon x Nia. |
| Damn. The show has only gotten better and better after Kaminas death. It served as a pivotal point for character development. Served that really well. Im probably a small minority. But with the episode I can safely say I am glad Kamina died. The show is picking up my expectations and shattering them. I was expecting something decent. Above average with good animation. Im getting much more then that. The animation itself. I don't know if anyone else noticed. But it changes. It isn't the same at the end of the episode as it was at the beginning. The emo art ends and the art of before is back. |
| FUQEN YES~! Beyond amazing episode. Simoun's speech seriously moved me. I am totally on board the Nina x Simoun ship. They are just perfect for each other. "Only humans have such filthy mouths. Can't you atleast say Beast-Bitch-Sama?" I lol'd hard at that. |
 |
| Simon. Fucking. Badass. |
 |
| Ok so I really enjoyed this ep. Sorta makes up for them killing off Kamina. :3 Glad Simon is not so blah and timid anymore. Anyone notice that his voice got deeper during the battle? It was a little wierd. >.> Oh, and it was really nice to see Kamina again.. even if it was just a memory. Kamina will live on with us all. ~ |

| Simon GAR? What a joke. Seriously, all it takes is a girl touching him and he falls in love? At least he finally manned up and isn't fighting amongst the only people that care about him any more. Kamina's flashback was the best part of this episode. It really shows that he had a lot more going on his head than it seemed. To be able to keep his composure all the time while under extreme mental pressure, he really is irreplaceable. It was really emotional when they showed Simon's crying face remembering Kamina right before the Giga Drill Breaker. I know Kamina's death really brought a NEEDED depth/angle to the show but... I just can't accept it. I hope they'll show more flashbacks and give him mentions here and there as the show progresses. |
 |
| Really good episode =D, I was going to kill myself if SimonxYoko happened, but SimonxNia is fine =D. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| I prefer Simon x Nia over Yoko tbh, those two seem like a better match to me. Definitely love Simon's change back to the character I like seeing. This episode was just awesome! ^^ That moe village was definitely something too, I'd like seeing more of those in anime. XD |
| Good episode. |
 |
| Ahhhh Simon is back!!! Way to go! This is the best episode yet! And also: "All we gotta do is keep going straight" - Leeron Uh huh... |
Interesting turn of events. Glad to see a Kamina flashback! And Simon ROCKS!!! At least I dont feel bad now over Kamina's death. His death played a very big part in Simon's character development. And good thing Kitten gave up his being the leader thinking.. it really pissed me off when he was assuming the role of being the leader. But anyway, no one's up for the position, so he probably just assumed it.  |
| He finally snapped out of it! Next episode, the usual "beach" episode of almost every animes. xD |
Faust721 said: I love this.Yay! Emo phase over. This was a nice episode, great to see Gurren-Lagann again. It was very cool. I am liking Nia x Simon more and more. Seems like we get a beach episode next time. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| EPICNESS!!!! |
| Yeay nice episode the ending was great :D |
 |
| Great episode! Good thing Nia is there cheering Simon on since Yoko (Ono) turned out to be a bitch. |
| And with that i hope the story will get more interesting |
| sad that nobody from team dai-gurren really tried to help simon, not even yoko even though she knows him very well and shouldn't dislike him :/ well.. glad that nia could help him and that he showed them who the boss is, pwned the other bitches from team dai durren :D |
| Yes finally simon gets a heroine. Woohoo. |
 |
| WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM ? |
 |
| 5/5 Amazing episode. |
 |
| It's great simon find her heroine " Nia x Simon :) " |
 |
| All aboard to Simon x Nia's ship! This was REALLY a great episode. That epic speech sent chills down to my spine and left my mouth open in awe ( was just exaggerating ). Specifically when he said "Who the hell do you think I am?" even though it lacked power but the message was all that matters. |

| Finally Simon snapped out of it and went badass. I really liked the Simon/Nia moment at the end. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| One of my favourite episodes so far. I was in shock in episode 8 and couldn't really do anything but stare blankly at my screen afterwards, but all the Kamina flashbacks in this episode as well as Simon letting go of his grief and finally accepting that he has to be his own person made me bawl like a baby. I really hope the series picks up from here or I may never get over Kamina's death, and I may never stop wondering how things would have turned out had he lived. Fingers crossed this is only the beginning... |
| "Go bald, Kurosaki." |
| Things are starting to go well again. Good episode. ^^D |
| Great episode. Glad to see Simon back to himself. Epic moment there. Oh and I love this show's pace so far; very fast, but not rushed |
| Wow. I'm really in the minority with how I feel about this show so far :/...Maybe it was just over-hyped to me so I had my hopes set a lot higher, idk. I thought it would be good from ep 1 but it just seems kind of...meh so far. It has its moments for sure but i haven't gotten that "epic" feeling at all really. :/ |
| Simon, good for you! I'm glad he back to normal... And finishing moves, won't ever same again without Kamina-sama :( Zarnaav said: YamadaAoi said: It's great simon find her heroine " Nia x Simon :) " No no no... Not Nia x Simon , he needs to take care of his brother's waifu, so Yoko X Simon. UnbornMVs said: I missed that I hope Simon will overuse that phrase like Kamina.WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM ? I'm glad to see Kamina again. It's obviously Nia x Simon Me too, well is there any resurrection spell? |

| Awesome development on Simon's part. Looks like they're destroying the generals fairly quickly, I wonder if they'll be facing the Spiral King soon. And as far as I'm concerned, Simon and Nia go well together. It must be hard for Nia though, to learn that she was just one of the many pastimes for the king when he's bored. |
 |
| Simon the Digger haha |
 |
| didnt really get what was going on with that village exclusively made up of girls. it seemed like they were in on the beastmans plan to deceive team dai-gurren, but then they turned on the beastmen>?? or what, trolls everywhere |
