Naa , he doesn't die , it's just that there is a really really extremely beautiful and yet sad scene with him...and pretty much the rest of the Dai-Gurren-Dan. :(

Holy crap!
I hate to sound like a broken record. But DAMN! BEST EPISODE EVER!
This one had EVERYTHING! The temporarly revival of Kamina, human Boota, Lord Genemone as the head of a school, Viral's happy end etc. Man this episode gave me goosebumbs so many times! Kamina showing Yoko the tv was an very awesome/emotional scene!

Best anime EVER!

Never have I been so fired up for a finale in a long time! Almost everything about this episode either gave me chills or manly tears.

I beg you, Gainax, don't fail me now!

Fantastic episode.
The highlight is obviously the "revival" of Kamina, accompanied by one of his badass speeches.
Everything else in the episode was also pure awesomness.

Why does it have to end next episode? :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
At least we can expect an awesome ending.

That was pure, un-adulterated win. You can tell an anime is amazing when you will watch the RAW before subs come out.

I waited for the .mkv/.avi files.

By the way... exactly what are the .ass files? I keep seeing them, but I have no idea what they are. XD

That's so true. This is the only anime where I check out the raw version first to see if I can tell what's going on ('cause I don't understand enough Japanese yet. =S).

I'm getting emotional to think that there is just one episode of this great series left.
Crappy things like naruto have over 240 episodes but something as awesome as this is limited to 27.

Epic episode as per usual and yet another reason why MAL should have a 'special' use once rating on the anime list to rate perfection like this.

I'd rather have this amount of episodes rather than something like Naruto or Bleach. One of the more prominent strengths of Gurren Lagann is just how much they pack into each episode, each second. If they were allowed to drag it out, I don't think it'd be half as much fun to watch.

.ass is the most popular type of sub file out there right now. They're normally pakaged into a .mkv so you don't see them. They're a softsub so they're independent of the quality of the encoded video. They're also extremy easy to use, edit, and make.

One of two things will happen: one, Viral will die, and everyone will cry manly tears. The other is that it will be revealed Viral can have kids... and everyone will cry womanly tears.

He can't die he has an immortal body. Secondly he cant have kids hes a beastman.
If any of that happens i'm dropping the score of this anime 2 points for making ridiculous shit happen! ( i already dropped it one for making boota become a stupid human).

Such strange reasoning. Boota being a "human" was awesome!
And secondly. If there is a guy who can give you an immortal body, surely there must be another one who can take that away.

We'll see

Boota being a human was his "dream alternate universe". It didnt happen in the main reality. At least thats what I understood from what the anti spiral said.

But Creesus, another classic episode. Cant wait till next week.

wait, i thought it was BECAUSE he insta-evolved that he was sucked into a dream alternate universe.

because he wasn't in the alternate universe when he was a mole, but assuming a humanoid body, he became self aware (though LOL @ that, boota seemed pretty self aware before).

Boota entered the alternate dream universe right AFTER changing into human form.

But who cares. Boota is adorable and has his moments. And this episode was epic! Like the one before and the one before and the one before.. what's it with this series?! Everytime you think the series reached it's limit it pierces through the sky again and again - wait, that's what this series is about anyway.

Somehow I don't want this series to end with 27. But on the other hand, I fully agree with the comparison of this anime with others that burst from too many episodes.

TTGL = few episodes, HELL of capacity!

Bleach is one of your favorites, I wouldn't be talking about whats crappy :P

Gurren 26 FTW. If this series were longer, it wouldn't be as good.

Each episode tops the previous one. This series just builds up to (hopefully) an epic ending.

I really loved seeing Kamina again, but this episode wasn't as great as some of the others earlier in the series. Simon now simply seems way too powerful for it to be wondering how he will win. But I'll admit seeing the Lagaan in action is always a plus.

True, Simon is just getting way to powerful. But for some reason, it doesn't get boring... This anime is just awesome.

So Kamina is helpful even after death, that just pure epic win! Actually, those words are not enough to describe it!

Lol, YokoxKamina moment right after YokoxKittan. xD

So awesome, it was a little like Evangelion with the whole alternate universe but this time it actually made sense, thank you Gainax. There are just too many things to comment on in this one episode, Kamina's sort of return, Boota being made of spiral energy and being able to transform, and everyone's alternative lives the best being Viral having a family. I can't wait to see how this ends.

From small digging technology, to small ganmen, to big ganmen and ships, to flying ganmen, to tearing time and space, to ganmen in ganmen in space, to cosmic ganmen, to even more space/time wtfuckery, to being stuck in an internal universe and yet again letting spiral power do the job to pierce out.

Wow then. They certain wanted to leave people going "Wow I don't have any idea what's going on here, but this is cool!" And those anti-spirals are right. The spiral power does evolve quick, very quick.

10th and 11th dimension?
Sounds like string theory. And I thought that was supposed to apply subatomically.
It's easy to get lost in the theoretical science in this show.

Nah, spiral power solves all, even when there's a 0% chance, that's all you need to know ;o

But damn, even if they're getting way too powerful just like that, it's still entertaining to watch and damnit, finally, he got to reunite with Nia!

There... there... there is simply no way for me to describe the end of it all. This anime transcends words. Seriously, to call this episode awesome would be disgraceful.

On another note, lets be honest people, who hated this episode? A show of hands will be fine! *loads Yoko's sniper rifle*
