What's with all the ship hating? The group dynamic is fine.

Anyway, I still don't know how seriously this show wants me to take it. The blending of drama and comedy was pretty good this episode, but the suspension-breaking mecha stuff keeps bugging me. It will be quite ironic if the actual mechas end up being my least favorite part of the show.

Still, the part where Kamina shoved Lagann into Gurren's head (before the actual transformation) was hilarious. That alone helped make the fight seem better, to me.

So Yoko wants to pursue something with Kamina. I find it sort of refreshing actually that the girl is the one taking initiative since it usually goes the other way in genres like these. They seem to have decent chemistry so I like it. :)

Simon is starting to get on my nerves with his defeatist attitude but he seems to be getting over it quickly and likely he'll become a lot more courageous over the course of the series.

We've seem Simon and Kamina in action so now I'm hoping Yoko gets in on it more.

Just like everyone else has mentioned, Yoko x Kamina is NO GOOD. Bah. Totally going to RUIN the show if they keep hinting at crap between those two. I will seriously drop it if it continues into more episodes.

Simon whined again. A lot. Annoying. *sighs*

Also, the Gurren Lagann is pretty damn good looking.

Every episode feels like it has much content, feels like I'm watching a 48 minute episode instead of a 24 minute one but in a good way.

More great action, more humor, creepy antagonist, character building. Looks like that actually was Kamina's dad, I like that he took the cape. Pleasantly surprised by Gurren Lagann right now. Also, the combination of the Gurren and Lagann was awesome.

This show is very good so far but I really don't want to see Kamina x Yoko. It really does not feel right for this show. But maybe I just got to see more of it to accept it. Other than that I am looking foward to watching more

Damn Kamina. That was a good idea despite how ridiculous it sounded. He literally just stuck the head into his gunmen. Great episode. Hopefully the show continue like this.

The first part of the combination was epic, and then it became ridiculous after nothing happened. But then it got epic again, so good. The white mecha was badass tho, hitting kamina in mid air!

If you ever need a power up, just drill a head into your mech!

lol those animals were so derpy xD especially the grape hippo

I thought they were gonna stay at that village for longer but I happy they aren't because the plot's gonna keep moving!

This episode has gotten me into the anime, the other 2 episodes were okay but this one was cool, I liked the combination scene and it's nice to see that Yoko and Leeron are going to be characters we follow in the series along with Kamina and Simon.

I'm with mostly everyone else on Yoko, her only flaw so far is her attraction to Kamina. It's just the usual girls-like-bad-boys cliche :/

lol Simon takes awhile for his character development, but given his age, that's understandable. Also bc of his tragic past with his parents.

Mmmnnnn. Not really feeling the KaminaXYoko yet. I'll remain indifferent about it for now. She liked him way too fast hahhaha

It got better, but then I stopped enjoying it after one of the minor characters died. I thought it was just ok at best

another great episode, and like everyone says the Kamina x Yuko doesn't feel right, but there are some faint feelings for Simon right now comming from Yuko,
when Simon grows some ballz and Simon x Yuko happens, this anime is gonna be godly

I tackle this 9 years after..
And there still aren't many action animes that are that good.

Yoko shooting that grape hippo made me laugh out loud. Arrow rifles should be a thing.

His sword looked absurdly long this episode xD

Yoko wants the D sooo bad.

I wouldn't mind helping her with that. After all the glorious fanservice we've been exposed to, who wouldn't?

His idea of combining mechs was so dumb that it worked. When I first saw the linking, I thought that Lagann drilled into Kamina. Gurren Lagann looks awesome af :o I guess that two heads really are better than one.

That Beastman looked awfully human. Could they be a mutant subspecies from a new world? Good thing they fended off against him.

Ron decided to tag along. Sassy~ Good thing Yoko caught along, because I couldn't handle the potential sausage fest that might happen when it's just them 3. And I couldn't live without her boobies x_x

I feel embarrassed for quoting this after like 9 years LOL but whatever. I completely agree with all that was said, except the part about dropping it. I probably won't drop it, but idk the Yoko x Kamina ship is really irritating me. Maybe it's because I'm really not a big fan of Kamina's personality whatsoever. Also, am I the only one that ships Yoko x Simon (when he gets better of course)????

Also, Simon is pissing me off haha. I know he'll probably become better later on, but as of right now, I hope he dies lol.

Still don't see the appeal with Kamina. He kind of annoys me. Yoko is my favourite thing about the show so far despite the bad shipping. With that said this episode was pretty good and I may think better about the anime after a couple more episodes but at the moment it's still an 8.

Looks like Yoko has the hots for Kamina.

That guy was dangerous and he had a very powerful mech.

I'm sure there will be even stronger enemies then him. Most likely at the base they discovered.

Good then they were able to combine like that and become stronger.

Hmm I wonder if the Kamina x Yoko ship really gonna set sail, tho.

The birth of Gurren Lagann was quite epic, good episode.

Anything's possible in this show with a bit of fighting spirit. Combine! Yokos face was priceless.

Kamina is Yoko's type it seems. Its no wonder she fell for him. I don't see it being reciprocated anytime soon though. Kamina seems way too deep into his own personal mission.

Its nice to seem them detached from the village and making their own group. These Beastman probably wont be a problem for much longer. I wonder whats next.
