THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

Thoughts, rants, opinions?

Kind of expected, although I have to say that Kittan went out much better than Kamina. Or maybe it just seemed more epic as I personally didn't expect him to beable to use the Giga Drill Breaker. And the "Ro Ro Fight Da Power" w/ classical accompanyment also added to the feel. Too bad sources say it'll be on the next OST.

The preview shows us hints of "LOL GAINAX'D".

bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

this show has made me cry way too much.
RIP Kittan ;_;

the preview is really intriguing me....i read on 4chan that it has something to do with nia's memories/the way she percieves how things happened or something.

now that could be true or a lie, i couldn't understand anything that was going on. if it's fake, they have good imaginations, lol.

i kind of hope we get Gainax'd though....SO many main/important side characters have died in this show...:(

Well this anime keeps to get better, too bad I don't think we'll see a second season of this :(

Anyway, I'm the only one that thinks that kissing Yoko is a REALLY bad omen?

Lol, it's obvious that you frequent 4chan... everyone on there was saying that

Anyway... just got done watching that... had to find an alternative to Rapidshare because I had an hour wait time... it was an awesome episode, the new Gurren Lagann looks amazing.

Why did Kittan have to go?! Well he did die happy and he did get a kiss from the man killer (ai: Yoko). I have to ask though what do you all think of Simon's new glasses?

Another great episode!
Boota finally proves he's a badass, Kittan goes down in a burst of manlyness (his Giga drill breaker was awesome), Gurren-Laggan becomes bigger and stronger, and Simon gets a new pair of glasses. The glasses would look weird on any normal person, but i think they fit Simon quite well.

Poor Yoko... every man she loves ends up dying soon after....

I guess the quote of the episode is "You gain experience through shooting blanks". In any other situation it would have sounded strange...

Kittan went out in an incredible way! And Simon makes those glasses look good.

Everything was perfect.

And I now want the OST so badly in hope for that Opera version of Row Row Fight the Powa! Very One Winged Angel-esque.

And Boota, phwar....who thought that little guy could be so powerful?

Haha. Even if I think about it, I'd still go for that kiss too. ^_^

Anyway, about the episode. It's getting a bit predictable in my view. Though I have to say that I didn't expect Kittan to use the Giga Drill, but I had a feeling he was going to die. Can't wait for the conclusion.

This anime is scaring the shit out of me. There is 1 TRULY COOL character left in this series (even though I didn't like him at first)... So far... the only other cool characters have died...

If they kill Viral... I'll be in mourning... for like... MONTHS... T_T

Quick Thoughts.

I really enjoyed Kittan's character development through the story. He died fighting and I don't think his character would have had it any other way. Really enjoyed that he was the one to save the day. The past few episodes have been putting the spotlight on the Gurren Brigade as a whole.

Boota rules. I want to keep a mole as a pet now. I'll paste tiny sunglasses on it's head and everything. Plus if I'm ever in trouble there's always the possibility that it could go nuts and stomp my troubles with a giant mecha!

Only thing I found out of place through the whole episode was the attempt to mix opera and rap. That was definitely a miss. What did you guys think about that?

"You gain experience through shooting blanks." That quote was just hilarious, it sounds so wrong xD. But BSS Anon said that wasn't a literal translation. =p

I feel sad for Yoko... again. =( Why did Kittan have to died!! He was like a second or third Kamina (since Simon looks even more like Kamina as time goes by), maybe that was the reason of his dead. =(

Does that mean Simon is gonna die too?! =/

I guess saving humankind is worth a few sacrifices... even if they're the coolest human on earth. V_V

I'll have to say, for a moment I thought he was gonna survive..

I really didn't want Kittan to die, he was the last of the Ganmen pilots that joined after leaving the first village. The glasses are mad pimp though, I don't see why people aren't liking them.

TTGL is actually pretty good. I wish they'd concentrate more on Yoko... most way too much of her screen time seems to be fanservice x.x

the glasses are just as funny and stereotypical and cheesy as the whole series... nonetheless, I can't stop myself from thinkng that the whole series is the essence of awesome, nor do I want to stop myself from thinking this. SO i guess the glasses are cool... lol this anime is definitely the best...

That was awesome.

It sucks how much Viral is limited though.
I feel sorry for him, he can't have kids.

We'll that could be a blessing depending on the perspective, but it's nice to at least have that choice.

No spiral, no babies. Tis sad.

My favourite character died in this series.

I thought his exit blowed though. The kiss was just a rip off scene of the Kamina Yoko kiss way back before he died in episode 7 or 8 (I know he died in 8, but I can't remember if the kiss was the episode before). Then he did the Giga Drill Breaker, couldn't he have got his own epic final move?

Okay, the Yoko and Kittan thing seemed like it had been shoe-horned in at the last moment, but despite that, Kittan got to go out in style. Now it's time for Simon and Viral to settle the score!
