| <strong>THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.</strong><br />---------------------------------------- <br /><br />Wow, amazing episode. Looks like we're getting a recap next week, and the start of a new arc after that. |
     |
| Nope, used Bullet Speed Subs. A few mistakes, but still understandable. |
|
| Amazing episode indeed. Simon just rocked. Its ashame that we have to wait two weeks for the next arc. Damn you recaps. |
 |
| Simon is a badass. He doesn't look it at first, but damn he's awesome. Kamina dying, as sad as the event was, really brought out the best of him. Can't wait for the new arc. If all that's happened up until now is any indication, it's going to get more and more badass. |
| another epic fight! go spiral power!!! go Simon!!! |
 |
| Y'all make me sick. I haven't even found a downloadabale torrent for ep 14 that I can watch. T_T The one I did find won't play on my MPC. T_T When the hell is Baka-updates gonna get these things? |
| anon release episode 14 but this bss fansub is terrible to watch. its choppy in parts. it a epic battle just wish there was better quality to watch it. anon just released episode 15 now |

| I got the SS-anon version, looks like it's the best of the bunch to watch. Though the resolution is high, and it's h264, so might be trouble for comps that are lacking in things like ram/video card/processor. I think the groups that are releasing the episodes are going for low profile, so they are avoiding posting them on Baka. From Lord genome's hints, it looks like we will finally start the story arc hinted at in the very first episode, with Simon battling among the stars. |

| recap.... oh wow o.o uhhh... >_> OWAHHH WE ARE DONE WITH THE FIRST ARC WHAT HAPPENED? btw :3 people who haven't found BT files veoh.com hosts pretty much anything that isn't licensed oh and it's not crunchyrolls: "zomgz support cr!!!" *steps on crunchyrolls* |
| Frikkin' awesome episodes (14 and 15) once I found them!! ^_^ Lordy, lordy, how little Simon has grown... I still miss Kamina, though T_T |
| I didn't know Bullet Speed was doing this series...so them an anon, I take it? I was annoyed that my ep 15 from anon kept lagging, and I have a pretty good machine with all the right codecs. >.> I may have to go find the other groups just to watch the un-choppified battle scenes. On a topic-related note, this ep was one of my favorites so far. ^_^ Lordgenome's forshadowing comments at the end, however, worry me... |
 |
| Wow...I mean just wow. One thing that makes me love this series is the growth of the characters. I mean just take Simon and look at how he's grown as a character in 15 episodes. It really makes you feel for him and his struggle. The battle between him and the helix king was beyond epic! BEYOND EPIC! The foreshadowing in that episode worries me too...although I think I have an idea of how this is going to pan out. Anyone seen the character designs for post-time jump? They look amazing. Especially Viral. |

| That episode was the freakin definition of epic. Loved it from start to finish, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store for us! |
  |
| I have a habit of tl;dr posting, but I can sum this up in a single word... EPIIIIIIIIIIIC or possibly SPARTAAAA ... well maybe not. But you get the gist of it! I heard that the series had a 7 year time jump. I can't wait to see how the characters change with it. I'm guessing that happens somewhere in the next 2 episodes. |
 |
CanadaAotS said: or possibly SPARTAAAA ZOMG?!? ROFLMAO XDDDD Made my day xD A true SPARTAAAA xD. <= Still laughing Very interesting. A new arc huh? I'm looking forward to it. (Man, its really depressing when you are posting weeks after the last replier in the discussion part.) |
| xD Same, as you can see xD |
| Epic battle was friggin' epic! |

| EPIC. Stupid fansubbed lyrics got in the way of the action though. God how I hate fansubbed lyrics. Thank God for DVD really. Its great how even though the good guys keep winning, its still made to look like a struggle, because otherwise it would get boring really quickly. This works so well because of the mechas mode of operation which I thought was going to be a double edged sword story-wise when it was first introduced. The mode of operation I'm talking about, is of course: when you feel badass...it works! Great stuff. |

| Two words: EPICALLY EPIC. Oh, and btw, does anyone know the name of the song played in the middle of the fight scene when Dai Gurren blasted Simon towards the king? |

| Even though just about everyone has said it already, IT WAS SO FREAKING EPIC! I can't believe how much Simon has grown since the beginning of the series, he's pretty much a whole new person but the story actually makes it believable. ...just saying (I know it was probably intentional). |

| i really need a recap episode. I've missed so much watching this show its rediculous. (i keep zoning out) anyway, the battle was pretty awesome, i loved how simon used to core drill to really get rid of helix. but I can't get over how bad the animation for the fight scenes are. They could do SO much better but instead they resort to panning screens, and shaking the screen so much it hurts my eyes. They really could do a much better job with certain action scenes than they do, but some of them really are great. |
| whoa, nice ep :D |
| THat was FREAKING AWESome!!!!!!!!! ^_^ |
     |
| gah, amazing episode... nuff said |

| That was an ecellent end to an excellent arc. Why the hell cant Nia sit on my lap like that ~_~ I'd fight harder too if there was a girl on my lap in the cocpit like that. Anyways i liked how the little harem turned into drills to power up that guy's lagann. The fight was pretty awesome too, although i dont know how Nia and Simon never gave each other concussions during the whole ordeal. |

Wasted_Life said: I'd fight harder too if there was a girl on my lap in the cocpit like that. agreed. I can't wait till the get to space to continue the badassery |

| hmm i have a sense of foreboding about Lord Genome's final comment. |
    |
| Totally epic, but for some reason the subs on only this episode were totally screwed up for me, which really ticked me off, they took up 1/4 of the screen and didn't fit so I couldn't read what was going on about 75% of the time. Luckily it wasn't too important in this episode. |
 |
| EPIC. That was...omg :) 5/5, I feel (yup, still.) sorry for the Dai-Gurren tho. That expression was priceless :D |

| Well now...this episode was not disappointing. And I expected a lot. I also liked the fact Nia and Simon got to work as a team some. That part where they had the splitscreen of Simon and Nia screaming. I was waiting for something like that all series. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Sweet battle. |
 |
| Best episode so far. I knew Simon had it in him. However, next episode is a summary. Do I even have to say anything? |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| OH MY GOD THAT ROCKED 7/5 for this episode(that is right even above 6) |
| My anime list |
| Awesome episode :O Best bit was after the fight, when suddenly the girl says "It's Gurren Lagann!" and then the theme music kicked in... awesome. This series is too epic, I wonder how it'll continue. |
 |
| Ugh the torrent I downloaded has episode 15-25 corrupt so I have to watch those episodes online now. :( Favorite Lines- "What we're gonna show them isn't the Black Siblings power...It's Dai-Gurren Brigade's!!!" and "Believe in me who believes in you. We can still fight!" "I am Simon. Dai-Gurren Brigade's leader, Simon the Digger! If you are going to be wall blocking my way then...I'll drill a hole in you and blow you apart anytime! That is...my drill!" Favorite Scenes-Whole...fucking...episode...so epic This episode's art looked darker than the last episode. Did anyone else not hear a single "Who the hell do you think I am!?" |

| no other word than epic can describe this episode :) |
| *Sigh* - Helix King -> On Steroid - His Ganmen -> Reminds me of Freezer in Dragon Ball Z - The fight between Helix King and Simon -> Even greatly resembles Dragon Ball Z => Suddenly I realise how childish this series is. Everything, everyone is so CHEESY. it's sickening. Especially that Nia. Plus a bunch of idiots on the Dai-Gurren. Real idiots, unlike Kamina. *Sigh*... I've given this series too much hope. Being rated 9.01, I guess it's all from the 10-14 years old... Same thing with Naruto. Disappointed ! I never did like kids' anime to begin with. I kept watching because of Kamina. Guess it's over now. From episode 1-8 I'd give it an 8. From 9 till now, this series deserves only a 7 at most... Oh well, anyway, I don't have a habit of dropping anime, so I'll see it till the end. Hope it could change my opinions once again... |

| The true definition of EPIC. Wonderful, incredible, awesome, you can't express it with normal words ^^ Can't wait for more epicness in the 2nd arc :) |

| I can't decide on what so say about this, just that it was PURE EPIC AWESOME! |
| Simon is really great now!! the pace of this show amazes me, it's so fast!! & I like it!! Can't wait for the next arc, hope it's better. |
