You'll be reminded of Kamina more than you expect my friend. In the OP also! Remember the 'In my heart and on my back' quote. Keeping Kamina alive in their hearts was like the part of the shows theme...

Nia looks better with short hair. Almost all the other female characters have longer hair, it's good to have a bit of variety. :D

Starting to debate whether I'm liking Simon x Yoko or Simon x Nia, this is turning into one hell of a love triangle now. At 1st I was leaning towards Nia, but after this ep I'm not sure who I want. XD

OMG it's Spidermech!

Nice episode! Didn't know Falco from Star Fox was in this show too xD (Check about 18 mins in!)

And how was Simon able to eat all of that food? He must be meant for Nia!

lol Nia's cooking is not out of this world. Don't know if Simon was lying or if he was actually enjoying that stuff, but wow what a freak. xD

Dai-Gurren kick! I have to admit that was pretty badass.

Looks like the Spiral King is going to tell Viral something. I have a feeling from this character that he will switch sides eventually, but I could be wrong though.

That air battle, plus a fight with viral. Viral seems to be more honorable than the other villains, and he's more curious about the true nature of the differences between beastmen and humans. So yeah, another great episode.

Ok, TTGL has officially become addicting. That air battle was hella awesome, and I like when Viral is involved. Looks like he's earned the king's favor with that question, I wonder if he's going to be improved to surpass the four generals.

It seems that Yoko has some feelings for Simon, but it is very unlikely they will end up together since Simon knew about KaminaXYoko and the fact that Simon has Nia by his side right now. While I rooted for SimonXYoko at first, SimonXNia is obviously going down.

After this episode, I ship Simon x Nia even more now. Simon is literally the only guy who appreciates her "disgusting" alien cooking. The air battle was really cool too. And it seems like Dai-Gurren can start flying now. Things are getting closer to the first scene in episode 1.

i cant help get the feeling that possibly yoko x simon?

i am NOT fan of nia x simon. nia dresses like a colorblind boota.
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Another action filled episode. I knew nia cooking would suck though its funny simon is the only one who likes it. I bet yoko wish she bet on the simon horse instead of kamina. I found it rather odd that she would just bring up she had a thing for him out of no where. Im also glad we got some info on the beastman origin.

I figured Nia's cooking would be awful, but I was not expecting both Simon and Boota to like it! That was funny.

I'm starting to like Viral's character, even though I can't forgive him for what he did to Kamina. :/ But it's crazy how even he seemed to feel some remorse when Simon told him that Kamina is dead.

Another crazy battle with Yoko in Gurren this time. It was a nice trick trying to pull out her gun during the fight, but it looks like Simon is gonna be piloting Gurren Lagann solo from here on out. Leeron coming up with that kick was also pretty cool.

Yoko telling Simon she "had a thing" for Kamina was cute. I doubt she has romantic feelings, but I think she knows he's starting to become an admirable young man. And I really hope a romance doesn't develop because I still enjoy the little brother/big sister-esque relationship they have going on.

The end of this episode makes me think there maybe more to this show than I originally thought.

^This.

Also... Yoko apparently has MANLY SPIRIT. xD

Viral was the best part of this episode overall, though. He may be your traditional honorable villain, but he still seems pretty likable to me. As insan3 noted, I'm interested in the direction the ending might take us.

I'm actually quite happy Viral was able to stand up to his commanders because he didn't want to use dirty tactics to win.

He's a bad guy, but at least he's an honourable one.

it was odd to see Gurren Lagann web drill swing around. but the airfingths were interesting and kinda cool

I'm digging Nia's new look. I knew from the start her cooking wasn't going to turn out good, though I was surprised that Simon legitimately seemed to like it.

I was waiting to for Viral to find out Kamina is worm food and i liked that he refused to win by playing dirty. Wish the Spiral King would have revealed the answers to him before the end of the episode though!

Good episode, the sky gunman fortress was pretty cool. Simon being the one person to like Nia's cooking was pretty funny. Great battle animations again. And interesting stuff at the end with Viral and The Spiral King - what are humans? Hopefully the rest of that talk is shown or explained soon.

Viral confirmed to be the most honorable. I like that about him. Some cool action scenes. That last scene with Viral and the Spiral King was very interesting.

The title fo the next episode is "Well met, everyone." I have a bad feeling about this.

Wow the animation looked really different at the end when the wind was blowing in their faces o.o it looked a lot less choppy than usual.

So now they have a running, swimming, flying base. Not bad!

Eww food poisoning from Nia's cooking

After watching this episode, I get the feeling that Viral will turn into a good guy or something.

Liked how the Dai-gurren kicked the enemy's ship even though they knew that Simon, Yoko, and Boota were on it.

Nia totally reminds me of Kobato...

This episode was great, the fact that GL can absorb Ganmen seemed a little bit convinient for me, but Laggan can already combine so it doesn't bother me too much. I was surprised to know that Viral didn't know about Kamina, this seems like a very important factor in his character arc and I guess he'll ally the GB later in the series. The part with Roshiu was pretty funny too.
I'm really hyped for next episode!

YES here we go. Finally, this is what I've been waiting for since episode 1. I'll be honest, I didn't really think Yoko x Simon would happen, but I'm glad that they're finally starting to hint at it :) :) :)

Also, this is the Simon I've been waiting for since episode 1 as well. No more wimpy, cowardly, emo Simon, but now we got a cool, badass Simon C: Looking forward to seeing how he'll progress from here on out. Also, I hope he continues to pilot Gurren Lagann with Yoko. She'd probably be way better than that other guy, whatever his name was, Rossiu or something like that haha.

The fighting was insane! The raw airpower should've sunk them in time if they sniped them for long enough. But this is gainax we're talking about, off course a flying kick would've done the job!

This was an awesome episode overall, and quirky as hell, if you took away all the insanity you'd be left with a Helicarrier vs a grounded Space Battleship Yamato.
