Wow, that was a brilliant episode. Kamina was by far my favorite character though, so we'll have to see how the show is without him. Poor Simon and Yoko. I thought he died, then thought he would stay alive, but nope. He was an awesome character, very driven, very funny, definitely someone Simon should look up to. I hope Simon ends up like him or inherits some of his lines, ie "Who the hell do you think I am?!?"

At least he went out in true Kamina fashion with quite the bang. And seeing the sketch of him where he smiles right before he died hurt a bit. RIP, Kamina.

I knew that kiss was a death flag! Also when Kamina said that he'd repay Yoko ten times too. It was kinda obvious but I still didn't expect it. Time slowed down for me. I cannot believe that Kamina died. At only episode 8! That's early! Fuck! I really liked Kamina!The show goes up to episode 27! Can't wait to see how far it goes. Also it looks like a new character shows up. I wonder what Yoko is thinking now. HOw is the show going to continue with Kamina?! I think Kamina is going to become a martyr.

"Later, buddy..."

Amazing episode.

That was such a brilliant episode and definitely the best so far. The fighting was spectacular. Kamina was holding on for a really long time but you could tell he wouldn't last. Considering it's only episode 8 I'm guessing Kamina is alive though I'm interested in seeing how he "returns to the living". If they say he was just sleeping I'll be a little disappointed at the predictability of it but he has to come back some how. The show would definitely go downhill without him. On to the next episode I go! ^ ^

good episode, definitely, although I can't say I actually felt sad at his death itself. he was annoying me most of the time and he was just stopping simon from growing, always being there to cheer him up/make him act or whatever, and with him around simon would never grow to be the amazing character he is later on. and wether you guys like it or not i kinda felt glad he was no longer there. i did kinda feel sad but it was more for yoko, simon and the rest of people who mourned him

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! KAMINAAAAA!!!!

They killed off the best character in the show. Such bullshit! This show better not turn into some shitty harem like someone else mentioned. I was enjoying the hell out of this anime until they pulled that crap. Simon better become one hell of a character for me to like him as much as I did Kamina. The preview for the next episode looks like it's going to suck. I hope it turns out to be a good series, but I'm just not sure yet, but I'll definitely keep watching!

I don't get it... How could you kill your main character? This episode has to be the worst int he series.

At first, I think this episode will be great, since Yoko and Kamina become a couple. But then, they had to FUCK IT UP and make him die.

And don't tell me it was so Simon could develop more. The series would have been the same even if Kamina survived.

I'm going on to episode 9. I pray that Simon grows a pair.

Kamina got what he deserved, how dare he stealing the main heroine eventhough he is not the MC. i almost dropped the series because of the kiss scene, but i decided that i will continue, especially after knowing that he died, which is a huge relief.

Honestly I don't see what exactly Kamina and Simon find romantically appealing in Yoko besides her big boobs. I haven't seen any significant character traits from her at all really.

So when Aniki first died I was like: "oh shoot I was not expecting this! :(" but I was a little surprised when he got up after that and actually had the strength to combine and defeat the enemy. I feel kinda weird about the fact that there was a brutal murder scene, yet they decided to actually kill him once they beat the enemy.

i'm so fucking sad tho. i've watched several episodes since this and all i can think about is how sad and angry i am that he's dead. i don't hate nia for replacing him, but it just isn't the same. i'm really looking forward to how simon develops and i hope i start to get over bro's death too.

I don't. TTGL without Kamina just isn't the same. The only reason to keep watching it are the few badass moments Simon has and Kitan & Viral.

I regret not keeping itdropped

So what was Simon doing when Kamina was getting slashed into pieces?
Don't get me wrong, I liked this episode, but there was a big time gap after Kamina gave Simon his second to last pep talk.

Other than that, I thought it was pretty well done in their "over the top" ways. I can feel the pain of losing a sibling.

So wait.. is he dead for good now? Because if he is I don't really get all of his hype, he's been here for 8 episodes so far O_O
Hated that kiss, don't like that pairing. I'm not glad he's dead, I think the show will be missing something now. But he was also not as great as people make him to be imo.

Oh, they did it! Yay, finally an anime that doesn't fear romantic development! That kiss was so satisfying.

Wait. It isn't happening, right? ... It is happening. I can't believe they did that in the 8th episode. C'mon. Where will I get my Kamina antics now? Is this show going to be just depression and sadness from now on?

Eh. Awesome episode.

What an amazing episode. For a character to only appear eight episodes and have such an impact truly goes to show how awesome Kamina is. Like many have said here, I wonder how the story will go without him, as he was the guy that drove these events. Though i really hit me in the gut when he died, I have to say kudos for letting him go out in the most badass way possible.

RIP Kamina. T_T

Doing a rewatch of TTGL. Still a unique memorable episode on so many levels.

This is one of the 3 greatest anime deaths IMO.
