| Nia is actually kinda cool! Well, I think so, anyway. Aswell as how each oh the four underlings of Genome represent mammals, insects, birds and reptiles And I can't help but feel sorry for Viral. Poor guy. I really liked the scenes with Adiane about the crush Nia with her big scorpion pincers. |

| Since you mentioned the Generals, I thought this was interesting to: Omni pointed out that instead of Spiral King, he should probably be called the Helix King, since the 4 generals names are based on the compounds that DNA is composed of: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. Also according to Omni, rasen can be translated as either Spiral or Helix. http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2007/05/28/random-musings-dgray-man-manga-and-gurren-lagann-news-edition/ |
| Actually, the official website has him down as Lord Genome: http://www.gurren-lagann.net/chara/lordgenome.html Still, it's DNA related. |
|
| Yeah, Lord Genome sounds better in English. He mentions the name in the post, but I guess he is referring to the direct translation of it...maybe? |
| Pretty good episode. Nia was really cool. I was hoping Simon would get out of his emo phase this episode but I guess we might have to wait another or 2. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I don't think Simon will be emo for much longer either! Another episode or two and Nia should make him realize the important things or something. I like where this series is going. |
  |
| lagann still not working =( |
 |
| viral is moe! *stinger smash* |
| Alright so I was wrong, the king is completely indifferent towards his daughter so that isn't going to change how many Ganmen are sent after them. Nia seems pretty cool, even though she's sheltered she really stands up for what she believes in. Also Adiane reminded me of Chie-sensei from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei when she was yelling at Viral. |

| nia is cute :D |
| as much as i usually hate the type of character that nia is based off of, i LOVE her so far. shes so.... smart. it's almost really fitting of her to show up after kamina, since she seems to be a similar type of character (one that has a big impact on people). simoun needs to stop being emo. but yoko is really awesome when she's upset o.o;.... mmmm |
| Watch Massugu ni Ikou and see that Nia and Haneko are the exact same ^_^ Anyways its hilarious how "stupid" she acts its pretty nice. But what draws me toward nia is how she looks, you get a good angle on how her hair looks as pretty as the clouds in the background and her near pure white skin showing that she has been obviously sealed away for a long time. and her clothing is all pastel colors and and gold show how pure and high class she is. Although im no too sure about her red tie thing. The eyes would suspect something different tho like she's a robot or something. Im sure we'll find out. The helix king is a pimp. And what is up with that damn clown? And why wouldn't that girl use her pincers to kill Nia? Comon Viral flipping that thing? ...REALLY??? Good episode with some inconsistencies. 3/5 |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Yeah, Nia is an intersting char, lets see how the story will develop further ^^ Oh, btw: Gotta love that talking crotch :D |
 |
| Yay, just what I wanted! Loads of Nia action.<3 Also, I'm getting tired of the Simon bashing. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Simon needs to stop trying to be Kamina and carve out his own path. Living in someones shadow never ends well. |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| Nia is hecka coool :3. I feel sorry for Simon and Yoko though. And I absolutely hate Kittan right now. |
| <('-'<) <( '-' )> (>'-')> |
| Kittan is a lame replacement for Kamina. So is Nia, but she isn't as bad. This series has got worse since Kamina's death, but it's still awesome :D R.I.P. Kamina, Episode 1 - Episode 8 |
 |
| Nice episode, Nia is really so cute. Her words were full of truth. I hope Simon will be better in next episode. |
| Nia's hair is awful. |
| hehe poor Viral XD & Simon!! Snap out of it already!! |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| Nia is very annoying. Horrible cutesy unrealistic girl straight from some Ghibli film... That was good though. I am especially liking the big gold pointy mech. |
| Get a life and stop reading my signature... |
| Didn't like this Episode. I've fricking missing Kamina, and nobody, not Emo Simon or Wanne-Be-funny Kittan or somebody else, and nobody - rly nobody - can take his place. This Anime makes me feel some kind of shit, it's rly depressingly this anime continues to watch, and i've feel like I'm never has a Reason to laugh about this Anime... |
| Nia was cool in this episode. I'm thinking that Simon will become a GAR in these next episodes because of his brother's death. |
| The series continues to be awesome even after Kamina. |
 |
| Did anyone else notice that, so far, the generals have had their ganmen named after the Ssu-Ling? Thymine had Byako, the tiger of the west. And scorpio biatch, Adenine, has Sei something, derived from Sei Ryu, the dragon of the North. Cool, they aparently are walking piles of symbolism. |
| oh my God... Nia is so annoying... her voice acting is garbage... remembered the chick from code geass (euphemia) |
smokes said: her voice acting is garbage... THIS! At last, someone who shares my pain! Though I like Nia's character overall, her voice is ANNOYING... |
| EPIC beatdown! |
     |
| This episode is freaking stupid it's entertaining. When Simon ran toward Nia(Who's in danger) Seeing those mechas appear out of no where running behind him crack me up so bad... those simpletons. She's suppose to be a hostage. Another is when the huge mecha kick the witch ^_^ This is by far the stupidest show to entertain me this much. If it keeps up at this pace, it may turn into my favorite shonen. (A genre that I have lost hope for) |

| I love Nia's voice. And her hair is awesome. hah. but anyways, Nia is getting better and better. I love the way she views things/problems whatever...I was really annoyed at Yoko when she just grabbed onto Nia and started yelling at her =/ Kittan is really annoying me. Also, Simon x Nia ftw <3 |
| OMFG Simon better snap out of it soon, its getting really annoying, his emoness. |
 |
| Awesome scene when everyone were running behind Simon. Simon still has a lot to grow, but he will gain experience and confidense soon enough, Im officially addicted to this show. |
 |
| I hope Simon becomes one badass character. And Nia needs to change her look; her look doesn't fit in with the rest of the Dai-Gurren Brigade. |
| I will freely say it. The series has my attention way more now then it did for the first eight episodes. |
| I seriously adore Nina. She can't replace Kamina, but she can certainly fill a bit of the void. LOL @ Viral getting bitch slapped multiple times. |
 |
| Oh no! I'm starting to like Nia more than Yoko. HNNGHHH Yoko and Simon really need to snap outta their emo-bitchy stage and start doing some Ganmen pwning. Oh, and I support Nia x Simon |
 |
| This episode was alright. :/ Still miss Kamina.. Nia is an alright character I just find her voice to be slightly annoying but atleast she's not an idiot. >.> Really feeling for Viral.. Adiane is a bitch. >.< And poor Simon.. He so (understandably) depressed.. >.< It's not the same without Kamina... |
     |
| Nia is aweome =D. |

| Simon and his depression is so boring. |
 |
| I think this is the first time I laughed throughout this whole series. The scene where everyone was interrogating Nia... priceless, just priceless! xD |
 |
OriginANIME said: I think this is the first time I laughed throughout this whole series. The scene where everyone was interrogating Nia... priceless, just priceless! xD Lol I loved that scene too. Nia was just so adorable in this episode as well as awesome xD Simon and Yoko are gonna snap out of their depression sooner or later. Can't just expect it to happen so soon. |
| The series just seems to have bored me alot, I mean I really liked episode 8, but it doesn't seem like the series is gonna have anything that will come close to it, so I'm afraid I'll be dropping it. |
| I take back my words - at the end of episode 8 I thought that the anime would become even better without Kamina. He seemed annoying to me, but the past 2 episodes haven't been the same. The series lack something, and now I understand what it is - Kamina. |
| Viral is an idiot, letting himself be abused. Poor Nia... I hope Simon is better soon. |
