Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 12

Nice mixer of fanservice and action. The first half contains beach-episode goodness featuring Yoko’s jealousy of Nia, and the second half is pure aquatic pyrotechnics. A few points:

1. Like the Spiral King, it’s apparent that Nia is no ordinary human. Is she just 1337, or has she had some genetic modifications performed on her?

2. Why is it that all the men have swimming trunks? Especially Simon – he’s been living in a hole for his entire life!

3. Isn’t Yoko already wearing a bikini?

4. Viral is quickly becoming Gurren-Lagann’s “Team Rocket”. Now he just needs a goofy sidekick and mascot animal. How the heck does he always survive?

5. I’m still not sure why Adiane’s scorpion army is associated with seafaring superiority. Scorpions can’t swim, can they?

6. Hair-cutting seems to be on the rise as a great bonding activity. FMP’s haircutting episode made it seem romantic, somehow.

    If Adiane had played more Iron Gator, she would know to go down and cap the Mess Hall instead of farming the deck.

    Adiane’s choice of bikini top was interesting, to say the least. It’s like a staring contest, lol.

    Chinese swimming scorpion, Lychas mucronatus

    Chinese swimming Scorpions can also be kept in communal groups. We find that they do best in dry sandy soils. A water dish is not only important, it is said that these scorpions are good swimmers. As with the armor-tails, these will also benefit highly from a stone or branch upon which to climb.

    Egad, I hate scorpions on land as it is. Now you’re telling me they’re in the water, AND communal? I bet they would be a crowd favorite at a pool party.
