The Catch-up: Episodes Episode 1: Burst Through the Heaven with your Drill! Episode 2: I said I'd Pilot it! Episode 3: You Two-Face Son of a Bitch!   Episode 4: Does having so many faces make you great? Episode 5: I don't get it, not one bit! Episode 6: Sit in the hot tub 'til you're sick! Episode 7: You're gonna do it! Episode 8: Later, buddy Episode 9: What, exactly, is a human? Episode 10: Who is this, bro? Episode 11: Simon, please remove your hand  Episode 12: Miss Yoko, I have something to ask you    Episode 13: Everyone, eat to your hearts content Episode 14: How Are You, Everyone?   The Catch-Up: Plot In episode 14 our hard-hitting heroes were forced to do battle with Guame and Cytomander 's combined forces, whose butts they kicked (of course), in no small part due to now being able to fly. Unfortunately, these two are mere generals. Next they have to do battle with the big boss: Genome, the Spiral King . Nia , introducing herself as the Gurren-dan's chef (*shudder*), demands to see her father to see if she can talk some sense into him.   Today's Episode: Ahhh, Genome. Or as John so (ahem) "cleverly" calls him, Lord GAR-nome. (That makes me think of the Gnome King from the Wizard of Oz books, but all buffed up-- it's a very weird mental image, trust me.) And you thought the battles couldn't get anymore awesome than the last one. Spoiler alert: this show will continue to out-do itself.   <object height="370px" width="640px"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/L8BKNFWlE0y5YMgVNSY7mw"> </param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/L8BKNFWlE0y5YMgVNSY7mw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="370px" width="640px"> </embed> </param> <param value="transparent" name="wmode"> </param> </object>   REMINDER: We'll be taking some time off from the episodes after this one, but keep coming back for more Gurren Lagann-themed content!

And so the first portion of this amazing series comes to an end. And what an end it was. The episode was pretty much the same formula as the past few episodes: opening with a TOTALLY AWESOME large-scale battle between swarms of combatants on either side (not going to lie, I am a total sucker [...]
