I’m just saying…
I was planning to catch up on School Days, but after watching Claymore 23 and being bothered by this similarity the entire episode, I decided to sketch instead.

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 [...]

Three words: SIMON IS BACK! Thank goodness, as all his moping was really dragging the show down. Hopefully Nia won’t kick the bucket in the forthcoming episodes now that she’s done her duty. I’m beginning to warm up to her finally.
I must admit, Guame is quite crafty for a beastman - [...]

Intro sequence has been updated and adds a couple new scenes.
Simon is deeply depressed and fights recklessly, trying to be like Kamina, but ends up being more of an asshole. During one fight, the Lagann sputters and ceases functioning due to the imbalance in Simon’s heart, and lands in a junkheap. Simon [...]

I guess I wasn’t surprised, since it needed to happen in order for wimpy-Simon to become the uber-Simon in the future. Now, the question is how he’s going to get there in 18 more episodes. Perhaps there will be a time lapse of some sort, and we won’t get to see every step [...]

Kamina and Simon go head-to-head with Viral once again (after he patiently waits for all of them to put some clothes on), and their improved skills allow them to hold their own. The appearance of the mobile Ganmen base, Daiganzan, changes the balance of power though, and the Gurren-Lagann is eventually subdued after putting [...]
Pikachu, I Blame You!

If nothing else, Sea Slugs! Anime Blog always seeks to assign blame somewhere, somehow. And since Episode 8 of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann made me cry manly tears of sadness, I want to blame someone.

Putting aside the oddball guest-directed episode 4, episode 5 features another underground society, and naturally Kamina gets riled up about their strict rules and closed-minded views. The villagers worship Ganmen as gods, and believe Kamina and co. are angels from “heaven”, and apparently have an affinity for grayscale. They also make Yoko wear [...]

Mutant animal hunting, third wheel action, and the most ghetto gattai sequence EVAR. This news and more, at the 6!
Seriously freakin’ hilarious. I love this series!

When we last saw our heroes, they had just landed on the surface of the planet, and immediately ran into the first ganmen’s squadmates. Simon can’t work up the nerve to fight back, and the Lagann stops responding, so they flee until Yoko’s comrades bail them out with some overpowering small-arms fire. Simon [...]

I almost gave up on this after the first five seconds of the intro. Thank goodness I sat through the rest of the show, as Gurren-Lagann is practically guaranteed a spot in my top five this month.
Simon is a miserable orphan who drills tunnels for a living. He’s from an underground [...]
