I can't even put to words the whirlwind of emotions this episode awakened in me. Gainax is the best studio ever, period.

Manly tears (?) this time for real. The alternate reality stuff was really nice. And the parts conversing with Lord Genome. Boota's "evolution" was useless though and he didn't keep it either.

The music really accompanied Kamina's epic (alternate reality) return and his final mission.

However, Nia also ruined it at the end. Stealing Kamina's limelight right up the very end. My director's cut of the episode will take her off.

However, the rest was really well executed. And we got to know Viral has a soft heart after all. And an imaginary beast-woman and daughter :V

The design of the anti-spiral guy is... underwhelming. The ultimate enemy of all life in the universe is the japanese equivalent of a stickman.

"Whoa, when the hell did you get taller than me?"

Manly tears right here. Goddammit it. I miss you Kamina! You're definitely the hero of this series. Simon wouldn't be like this if it weren't for you. You saved everyone.

Now, onto the finale!!!!!

So is Boota the goggled figure from the prologue, is he perhaps a a Beastman, too?

Viral's universe shows his true aspirations; to have a family.

When Kamina motivates Simon rising from his heart(or it was from the other side?) and saves the day even by dead. Emotional and genial episode took its deserved tears. 6/5

Seeing Viral's dream always breaks me. It wasn't anything extravagant. Just a wife and daughter in a small house in the middle of nowhere. And he still chose to pass up the one thing he could NEVER have, a family.

This. It shows how much Simon has grown as a person and how much Kamina has impacted him throughout the series to the point where Simon even could potentially surpass him.

Amazing episode. The second half was even more amazing. Kamina "reappearing" and helping the crew made me cry a little. His interaction with Simon was even sadder (in a wholesome way 😭😭)

Viral's dream tho </3 he just wanted to have a family. Sad.

Can't wait for the final episode!

Boota turning into a humanoid was very very very weird lol.

6/5!!!

What an amazing episode, the one thing I have done in while watching this series is I didn't cried a single time, but that Kamina with Simon conversation broke me and I'd rather wasn't enough, we saw all the died comrades as well and Viral with his family. Viral just wanted a proper family, but he never got one :(
I'm excited for the Finale of the Series!!!

Yeah, this was pretty epic for sure. Even Boota turned into a humanoid form while the rest were dreaming. The conversation between Simon and Kamina was just heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. It showed me how much I missed them together and would die to see them have fun one more time. Viral's dream showed that he was a man though. The dude was married and even had a kid xD The soundtrack is legit fucking CRAZY.

Seeing Simon and Kamina reunited was nice even if it was a dream. Same with the rest of the alt dreams too.

BUT get that humanoid boota outta here lol

Kamina! Kamina came back albeit for a little bit god I wanted to cry when Simon was with him but this time he’s gone for good but regardless it was great to see him again even if it was a short time while Simon and all the whole crew were having these fake dreams about living other lives that didn’t lead up to where they are now. I gotta say out of them, Viral’s was probably the saddest one by far.

Not sure I feel about Boota becoming a human but hey episode is still fricking awesome even with that detail in mind. God the finale’s gonna be next up I’m gonna need to psych myself up for this. It really has been such an epic one this anime I mean. Once again epic episode then again the vast majority of Gurren Lagann is epic. Always.
