| Man, Rossiu is a total prick. I always thought it would be good for someone in the group to turn on the rest ever since the first couple of episodes, but I had always hoped it'd have been Kamina or Simon. Would've made for better story-telling IMO. But I guess Rossiu works. |
 |
| WTF IS GOING ON? SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED IN THIS EPISODE! I'M CONFUSED AS HELL! NIA BECAME A VILLAIN? THE HELL IS THAT? |
| Rossiu turned into a major asshole could have used more Yoko i liked the time skip and the older Simon and Nia also Viral as a good guy is just awesome :) his gotta be one of my favourite characters and hope he and Simon team up the new enemy anti-spirals seem pretty interesting :3 what i didn't like was that they got rid of their ganmen wtf !!! D:< |
 |
| From what I've seen, this still seems like a show I could love, but I must say I prefered the former "feel" it gave. Though I liked what they did with the time skip, and I liked Rossiu a lot in the first few minutes, then started to gradually dislike him as a person over the course of the episode.(I still like him a lot as a character). And unlike most, I already liked him before the timeskip. He was cute xD (And what the hell was about Rossiu remembering Nia's food seven years after eating? Random moment cameo FTW xD) Now, about the civilization itself, it actually seemed to have progressed the most likely and realistic way (only 20 times faster or more). They reverse enginered new tech, then started researching brand new tech, and finally, once they realised they could do better mecha's than the ganmen, they disposed of all the ganmen with the exception of Gurren Lagann (for its power, symbolism, as a precaution or a combination of all three). Oh well, maybe next episode will bring back my desire to rank this anime a 10 ^^ |
| Rossiu definitely changed the most, power gone to his head? At first I thought he was going to be the new villain until these new Anti Spirals showed up. Wondering what the hell they are, they appear to be some advanced alien race as they were talking about human reaching level 2 or whatever. On to the next episode. |

| I like this arc better than the last..the last had no feeling or motivation..this one is mildly better. |
 |
| I hated this arc... Doesn't get better till later... |
| あらあら。。。＾＾ |
| Loving the time jump, everything is so Star Wars-ish. |
| Loved the time skip, thought Simon was perfect, just kinda laying around looking about all the time, and so was Nia. OH, and the massive Kamina statue. Hope Yoko is back soon. Wow Rossiu, what a bitch. He's trying to get people to refer to Simon by his full title and everything, but he so doesn't see him as incharge. If the other guys all decide to revolt, I hope it is rightfully against him rather than Simon. Although Simon could shuush him up a bit, but I guess that's not his nature. Potential in Viral though, definately. |
| "Will you marry me?" "Nope!" That cracked me up :D So Nia is... what? It sounds like an interesting second act thought. |
| EPIC time lapse! |

melancholy said: holy frickin frick, older simon is extremely sexy My first thought. I was hoping to get more into this future world but they've already introduced an evil enemy (nIA!?). Something tells me things are about to ger serious. I miss Kamina T_T |
 |
| Hot damn! This episode kicked ass! |
 |
| Wh.. what?! Rossiu had the Ganmen destroyed? I'm not liking what he turned into. :/ |
| i never really liked rossiu :( at first i thought he was a girl, so i hope he gets killed by some ganmen :) |
 |
| Holy Shit. The Rossiu bashing here is kind of...pathetic. Just because the way he went about it didn't mesh, doesn't mean he is any less of a strong character. Fuck. If anything he is protecting humanity and trying to save it even more then any of the other main characters combined. Just because a character doesn't take physical action doesn't make them any less stronger. But anyways. That was one of the more well done time skips I have seen done. Certainly not the best though. But far above what most time skips turn into. They gave just enough "This is what happened afterwards, blah blah blah" then picked the plot right back up. EDIT: Actually...thinking about it. Did Simone get stupider or something? He sure as hell didn't grow up at all. Shouldn't he have through twice about engaging an enemy in a residential area? We know he has had to protect people before. This wasn't a new concept for him. And because of his actions loads of people are dead. |

| Well for one thing everybody looks double the bad ass, especially Simon of course. And Rossiu is pissing me off. This new arc seems like its going to be amazing. |
 |
| Now that's how all timeskips should be done in the future. Take notes other shows! Happy that they didn't turn Simon into some super sexy bishie, but an ultra cool leader with the right amount of swag. And I can understand Rossiu being Simon's foil and all, but he has no reason to be so self-entitled because realistically, what has he done to earn his keep? |
 |
| holy shit! simon love!!!!!!! totally knew that nia thing was gonna happen but again, the proposal was so funny. i like how she was wearing the ring anyway before she actually accepted. i dont like the whole government concept though, being rebels is way more fun. AND IT DEFIES THE LAW OF PHYSICS FOR A CITY OF THAT CALIBER AND TECHNOLOGY TO BE CREATED IN A MERE 7 YEARS!! just saying, but thats why i love anime. also, they could've never advanced so far in such little time especially considering how everything they got up until this point was stolen. viral is really awesome, he reminds me of accelerator. not just his face but how hes like an evil badass and kind of sad at the same time. more yoko please! and kamina statue ftw |

| "Yada! =D" And she took the ring. lololol ILU NIA <3 Sabinlerose said: Just because the way he went about it didn't mesh, doesn't mean he is any less of a strong character....Just because a character doesn't take physical action doesn't make them any less stronger. I completely agree. But being strong willed, doesn't mean you have to lose your ability to rationally speak/communicate with someone, let alone be kind.. I mean he didn't even inform Simoun about the people who wanted to stay underground. In my opinion, he acted like a total douche in that scene. |

| Fucking epic man. Nia~ HNNGHHHHH and Yoko needs to get her ass back up in there. Rossiu needs to chill out as well. |
 |
Kira said: Appearently for some reason the Han-Rasen don't want more than 1 million above ground? Yeah I thought the Spiral King said it was the population of the humans on the surface which was why when Rossiu was needing a count of humans from underground I was like: ??? |
| - Nia turned down Simon, lol. - Viral is good? What. - Rossiu is acting like the priest from his old village. Do. not. want. |
| Wow wow wow wow wow wow, wow. Wow. Something actually happened and it isn't stupid or made me go "wtf?" |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I really like how they've changed. Simon and Nia being together, I was expecting that. They foreshadowed it in the earlier episodes. I really dislike what they've done with Rossiu. They made him very likeable when he was younger. But now he seems like he is going to the other side. Overall, I really liked it though |

 |
| this episode was good, it has a completely different feel to before the time warp, but im not sure i will enjoy it as much as before. |
| I was getting a little annoyed of Nia beforehand, but now she is awesome. |

| Rossiu needs to die in a fire. Other than him this was a really awesome episode. Love how they time skip, make Simon older, and had this awesome city built! So this is what the Spiral King meant about the level of humans becoming too much and how they now face elimination by some powerful force. A very well developed plot, I can't wait to see more. :D Nia's turn down was so damn funny, she really cracked me up in that scene. XD |
| Rossiu... very annoying... |
 |
| Nia turning down Simon's proposal was hilarious and Rossiu has become quite the jerk. Looks like a new plot's about to start now! |
| Ooh, I just love time skips! No matter where - anime, movie, book etc., it fuels up the story and gives many new chances for development. This episode was good and I liked how the characters had changed (except Roddiu, for obvious reasons). I get the feeling though, that I've spoiled it too much for myself already... |
TIME SKIP!!!! definitely love it. So let's see.... Simon looks cool and handsome, Nia more beautiful, the two kids [sorry, forgot their names] kicking some ass, kittan still the same, Leeron, I think is also still the same....hmm.. but what I hate was Rossiu turning into some jerk. I wondered what happened to him. Grrr.. Looking forward to the next episode.. So pumped up now... New arc is really interesting :) |
| Simon and Viral are my favorites for now. Rossiu is just plain annoying at moment... :/ |
| I liked the change they made for Rossiu. It’s clear that he has become a jerk, but he is also the only person in the government that actually is worth anything. Sure he has questionable ethics, but that is because he is picking up all the slack from all the other people on the council. |
| wow wow WOW! Damn this is totally epic, 7 years in the future lot's have changed, yoko seems to have left, there has been send a rocket to the moon to investigate, Simon proposed to Nai, the city is under attack and the ending with Nia she originate from the anti-spiral units, damn really much changes so very lovely! Damn really great episode! Love the new OP and ED but yea I hope we do see Yoko back in one of the coming episodes! |
 |
| All grown up, they even look better! Even some people have a different viewpoint on what is right in their eyes |
| Well it looks like Rossiu is the only one in this show with his head still screwed on straight. He was one of my favorite characters from before the time jump, and he is definitely my favorite character now. I don't quite understand why people are upset with him. He's a little "direct", yes, but he is the only one that has an active plan for the future survival of the human race! |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |
| 7 years time skip, huh.. Now there's too much for me to digest. Well firstly of course, changes in the character. I like how much the characters have grown, especially Simon, lol he's no longer a kid. Nia has become more attractive O.O, back to her long hair but somehow i think it looks like a piece of.... cloud (for the lack of a better word). Rossiu has become an annoying character...... and in this ep i've grown to be fond of Viral by a bit. I can't wait to see Yoko. Secondly, modern world. Wow, just wow. I wasn't expecting that. Looks like things are gonna get exciting! |
| They made so much progress in 7 years |
 |

| In 7 years Rossiu become an annoying person grrr... but still O-some episode :D |
 |
| Great episode. Was nice to see that the Simon x Nia relationsip grew, the kids plioting the Gunmen and the chief of Jiha and Viral again. The adding of "ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!" to the eyecatches was a nice touch. Also, I didn't expect that when they reached 1,000,000 million people the threat would appear right there and then. Hopefully Rossiu will come to his senses. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| Oh no Nia just when Simon proposed too. )= I actually still like Rossiu. xD Also those two kids grew up to be pilots the little boy is very cute. <3 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| and so begins the literal greatest arc ever created in anime. the mugann turned out great on the blurays. the fact that theyre pretty much the only 3D anything in an entirely handdrawn series gives them a sort of...faceless look? quite a good play on visual dissonance love how gurren lagann is still top dog though also, like the new OP, still like the first better though, but i love the new ED, easily the best of the 2 |
