Gurren-Lagann ep. 26

[ Episode 26: Let's go, my friends!]
What the hell was that? This episode was so many kinds of awesome that it can’t be fully comprehended. Those alternate universe sequences were quite interesting. I found Simon, Yoko, and Viral’s in particular quite well done. Seeing Kamina again was just so awesome that the manly tears couldn’t help but form in my eyes. His interactions with Simon and Yoko were the best. With Simon they basically had a little chat after he had saved Simon. Just mentioning things like him growing taller and their ‘final goodbye’ along with seeing Kittan and the rest of the guys was almost too much to bare. Kamina and Yoko’s interactions were quite interesting with him changing the television for her. While it was pretty nice I felt more closure could have been done between the two of them if a few more words were said but I suppose they weren’t needed and I’m just too picky.

I’m just glad there was closure with Simon and Yoko regarding Kamina. Viral’s dream sequence was really beautiful as well. Who would have thought the guy wanted a family and such a beautiful wife? Then again, yeah I suppose he would. Does this mean he’ll die next episode? I’m not so sure about that but you can never tell with this series. Oh, the last “WTF” for this episode was Boota turning humanoid. I didn’t expect that at all. He looks like the guy from the guy from the very first episode. Now I’m just in wait to see how GAINAX ends it all. Knowing their writers it’s completely up in the air and will probably cause some to go crazy with predicting it. I’ll just wait for it to come peacefully. ^__^

you guys watch
cliffhanger ending incoming
Come on big loss! Tragic ending! Simon sole survivor, no hero’s death, just dead people everywhere and him alone!
Im still thinking (hoping) that Nia is going to die…
I doubt GAINAX would end this in a cliffhanger ending.. I dont think they want to mess with our heads on this anime
Good ol’ GAINAX. Maybe they’ll actually go with a normal ending this time around. :O
cliffhanger=i will never watch gainax again. no seriously. i love this series to death and if they f’ this up…
It’s so funny that everywhere I read about the last episodes of this show that at least one person has tears in their eyes^^ (me included, hehe)
