Actually I thought this was one of the better ones, showed it from the side of the beast-men,


"The two paths of man and beast intertwine to create a spiral path! Piercing destiny as yesterday's enemies and creating a new path with these hands! The Union of Fate--GURREN-LAGANN! Who the hell do you think we are!?"

Kamina's art on this chapter was pathetic, that gives it -5 points.

I think everybody's being just a little too harsh on this project, honestly. They're just AMVs, seriously, how much do you expect of a 3-4 minute animated clip with music behind it, come on.

However, I will say Kamina's design was just horrendous on this one.

Kamina is supposed to be 'horrendous' since he's the bad guy.


Horse-riding Viral is win~

This was better than the last two, but the first one was still the best out of the four currently out.

Actually, Nikopol is Viral's theme. But I think I liked this one second most after the epic first one. Specially cause Viral's waifu was there again. ;___; It had Viral as the hero so it was awesome.

Oh yeah, sexy Adiane was sexy.

Oh definitely a step forward from a horribly bad 3rd one, helps burying bad memories of that last one. And I would've never thought about 'cowboy theme' to Omae no XXX de Ten wo Tsuke! I only don't know why Viral decided to go into close-combat? HIS HORSE IS FREAKING INVULNERABLE, He could've just run over Kamina.

You kidding? The best song has yet to come. 'Libera me' that is. Hopefully it will appear and won't be screwed up >.<

Music - awesome
Viral - ...duh, awesome

So I pretty much liked this one.

The music was amazing! I think this one comes very close to the first one. Viral is too cute in this one - looking at a picture of his wife :) Do you guys think that Kamina would've become a total asshole if he gained control of the Gurren-Brigade?

This was brilliant. The role reversal thing they had going on was pretty neat.

It makes me wish even more though, that Viral really could have the family he wishes for deep down :(

Ugly delinquent Kamina =WIN. This could've been expanded a bit more on, though. 3/5
"Though mountains crack, and ice will thaw

Though walls will fall, to tooth and claw

Though stars will fade, and shadow spread

On the heights we stood, with iron red.


And as they died, they killed the dead.
