Haven’t caught up with the rest of the anime that I needed to but I am now back on track with watching Gurren Lagann weekly again. I have been awaiting episode 20 with much anticipation seeing how 19 left off. After seeing 20, I have affirmed my hate of cliff hangers…

Anyone here reminded of Tron… or Star Wars….
The ante is up, it seems. Rossui’s decisions have been harsh before but after learning this, he is becoming a very unlikeable person from these circumstances. I can see where he is coming from and the reasons that necessitate these measures, but giving the ones being evacuated underground false hope and abandoning them like that is plain evil.

Coolness is walking casually to fight a giant enemy with only a shotgun.
Kittan was a character I generally did not like at all, but he really shone this episode. I don’t know, he just felt more human from this episode. Going to Rossui and taking back Simon’s core drill was a really cool scene and then going straight into battle right afterwards left my opinion of him very high now. It is great to see the Ganmen back. I’m still worried about the state of the Gurren Lagann but if it is in a state, it will probably be put back together like the rest.

The new look makes her hot, the new personality make her a bitch.
Meanwhile in jail… we have yet another scantily clad section of action, kind of like in episode 6. Viral here is really cool with his fight and showing off his new super healing body. Nia just seems to love tormenting Simon now and she is becoming a large annoyance. I am almost hating her. Yoko seems to hate the new her too, which reminds me…

By gun point alone, you know that’s Yoko.
She is back! Excellent, after so many episode she has returned with as much flair and style as her first entrance to the show. The next episode preview seems to suggest we will learn what she has been up to (the megane look i love btw) and hopefully conclude off this cliffhanger which is killing my soul from the inside….










Yoko! did you see her in the preveiw? she looked so… secretarial.
She looks more school teacher to me somehow…. =P
