It's not listed on Baka and Suki right now, but try using a torrent search engine to find it.

Good episode, I wonder if showing Kamina's grave and where it is, has any significance...

I LOL when I saw the way Dai-Gurren plowed into that other ship, wasn't Gainax having a little too much fun with the imagery?

Yes! I definetly skipped episode 13 >< Oh well. I'll get it later when I'm done the series I guess lol.

Btw, [Order] is easily the best subber of TTGL imo. :)

If you're looking for the episodes go to #Black-Order at irc.rizon.net and try the trigger !tengen## (where # is obviously the 2 digit episode number). You'll get msg from a bot in there with several xdcc bots that can send it to you.

After fiddling with some ports and switching irc clients I managed to get speeds as good or better (and definetly more stable) then torrents or video posting sites.

I didnt understand Kamina's grave scene. The credits said '6 months later'. I first assumed it meant 6 months after the last episode, but that would mean they backtracked to the grave, which wouldnt make sense. I'm confused, lol. I'm just going to assume the grave scene took place soon after Kamina's death.

Another great episode and I love how epic this tale has gotten. I love reinforcements. :D

i love how the dai gurren has that long ass platform and none of the mechs use it to launch, they get thrown *_*
Do the giant mechs mouths have to move when they talk. The action is pretty smooth and was pretty "action packed" Need more Yoko boobs thought. Of course someone completely not part of the episode comes in to save the day, leaving any logical means of defeat illogical.

It seems that Simon has become even more gar and confident in this episode :].
I think this is the episode where Gainax decided to take the story a different way.
When Kittan combined with Kiyal, there was a happy face on the shield :3.
Coolest scene: Simon taking on all those Ganmen by himself, Rossiu dodging all the missiles then throwing that giant missile back,the arrival of the reinforcements, Dai-Gurren crashing into Dai-Teppin, actually this whole episode was pretty damn gar. Frick. I have like adrenaline coursing through my body man.

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!

Still those reinforcements were kind of stupid at the end...but Nia took care of that :3
Ah Nia :3.....drill that pierces the heavens!

how nice that their ship can collide with another destroying it while taking zero damage themselves. the action is nice but the fact that this is so unrealistic (even in a mecha anime) is really taking away some of the enjoyment

Dai-Gurren is a wedge. It SHOULD have taken far less damage in the collision. But it probably should have taken more than zero, I'll agree there.

I almost thought I missed something... They launched into the action so quickly. o_o

Good episode nevertheless. Nice to see Nia playing her part in all the fighting and believing, unhesitatingly, in Simon - as always. :)

Lol yes. But then there's ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH to ensure the awesome is still here.

Kamina's grave, sniff...

Nia for the win. Giant mecha with colossal anime influenced proportions. I don't even understand what I just said, but damn I dont understand why I have been missing this, and everyone should have this one their list no question. Woot.

Pretty action packed episode, Guam's death speach was kind of ridiculous and I'm not sure how I feel about Nia stealing Kamina's catch phrase.

Yay for Cytomander for getting a digimon transformation. That took me back a few years.

Was I the only one who laughed when the "reinforcements" oh so eagerly flocked to their deaths like moths to a flame? Laughing just thinking about it actually...
