Series by Gainax, hopefull it'll be good. The last series I liked from them were This Ugly and Beautiful World and Melody of Oblivion.

In the distant future, people build their homes and raise domestic animals in subterranean caverns. As a result, they live in fear of the occasional earthquake and cave-in, and have been for hundreds of years. Jeeha is one such village.

One day, a boy named Simon happens to find a small, shiny drill whilst digging to expand the village. At the same time, Kamina, a guy who believes that there is another land above the village, persuades a gangster to break through the ceiling in order to leave the cavern. Suddenly, an earthquake occurs and the ceiling collapses, followed by a big robot breaking through the ceiling.

Kamina is now sure that there is a world above them. Recklessly, he begins to fight against the robot. At that moment, another person appears from the land above. It is a girl by the name of Yoko. With a rifle in hand, she had been tracking the robot. However, all she could do was distract it. Then, Simon shows what he had found to Kamina and Yoko. It`s a mysterious robot whose head is also its body.

First episode by ADTRW:

I liked the first episode... It at least has some nice animation and some cool characters (though they may get annoying at times). I think this will become an epic series, which many of you will like... especially when you compare where the show currently is with the opening sequence.

[Arcn3ss]

Ive always been a Gainax fan ever since Evangelion, so when i found out that they are apart of this show I decided to downloaded it. I like it thus far. I love Yoko. Dearest bouncey large breasted Yoko. Red haired, bouncy tittied gun using wonder, Yoko. Frankly, i like all of the main characters.


Iam looking forward to episode two. I hope its Yoko-rific.

Damn morning clock, we know what time it airs now :P

[animus]

Mmm, the subbers didn't make any karaoke. Oh well, not needed but nice nonetheless. Very interesting series I must say, I was kinda irked by how young everything looked. But I'll be following this.

[animus]

Ooh, the new intro is pretty amazing. What happened to Yoko =(? I was looking forward to a Love Triangle, but I guess that was completely demolished. Anyways, it's really interesting to see it's been 7 years, and everyone's older with their relationships, etc. The new mecha's/ganmen look pretty sweet. I love this series a lot.

[Ryllharu]

I'm not a fan of BSS's encoding. The raw is much larger, but it just looks better. Like Munsu, I really don't see why it's an issue. A subtitle file is still a fansub. You can easily edit the file too, which is a plus when it comes to BSS.

Back to the episode:

I'm surprised to see the second verse of the song instead of a new song for the OP. After Kamina died, Yoko wasn't much more than a side character. The most significant thing she did was shoot Nia's hair and accepted her. It's a little sad she wasn't of much use outside the Kamina Arc.

I wonder how long Rossiu has been like this though. Since the fall of the Helix King? His organization within the government is huge, and comprised exclusively of people that were not prominent with the Gurren-Dan (excepting Kinon). He certainly seems to want to take control instead of Simon, and keep him only as a symbol. A return to his perfectly regulated underground society. Nice to see Simon thinks more like Kamina, even if it got a lot of people killed. What was Rossiu going to do, let it kill half the population with its laser?

More confusing to me at least was Rossiu's line "You don't understand at all," right after Simon accused him of wanting to turn the world into a large version of his old town.

Episode 17 xvid by Bullet Speed

[Dubazlar]

Ahh, about time, I couldn't get the raw+sub to work properly.

Was a great episode, lots of new material for a new arch.

[Foomanchew24]

No one else noticed that Rossu was trying to resurect the spiral king? Looks like he wants to revive him to get some answers. The new bad guys look pretty advanced, wonder if the gang has much hope if only Simon can kill them. Doesnt look good for the 1 million monkeys.

[shinta|hikari]

I actually didnt notice, since I was too busy admiring the new GL world after the time skip, and wanting to kick Rossu in the face everytime he shows up... and talks.

Im not sure if Simon actually "defeated" the enemy. It seems that the goal of the new enemy is to eliminate as many monkeys as possible, which it achieved to a certain extent with its body broken into pieces and self destructing.

[Darknodin]

anyone else thinks Viral would do better in Rossiu's place?
and i guess the ppl that wanted Nia to die (in a way) got their wish.

[?igma]

What if Nia was never actually meant to be dumped, but instead purposely tossed in the hands of the Gurren, as a fail-safe ?

To me it's no coincidence that she responds to the new invaders in such a way.

[Y]

I just assumed that the Spiral King didn't use Nia as a "daughter" but as his communication/liason with the Great Dimensional Government. It would definitely explain why he throws them away when they start asking about who they are.

[shinta|hikari]

Id agree with that assertion. Creating that many "daughters" would be pointless otherwise.

Still, Id have to question the efficiency of actually giving a personality to a mere communicaton tool.

Episode 18 - BSS & anon

[Darknodin]

whoa @ that episode. the mood is completely different than before (a bit like when Kamina dies)


spoilers below




I guess Nia becomes the enemy now. my guess is Rossiu will too for a short while. also, it seems that there are other Spirals in the universe uh...could get interesting.

[animus]

I hate dumb bitches like Kinon, that follow jackasses that say one-liners that he intends to have oodles and oodles of meaning but are totally retarded.

[Darknodin]

ha... i personally really liked the mood of this ep. and no matter how much ppl may hate Rossiu, it was really cool the way he dodged Kittan's punch (also says that he knows what he did).

to be technical... no matter how deep they dig, the moon falling on the Earth would kill them (well unless they get to the mantle but... then they would die from that). the moon would probably evaporate the crust where it lands, and liquefy the rest of it, i doubt bacteria would survive this.
