Last episode was an awesome start to what I’m hoping will become an awesome anime. This episode, undoubtedly seems to be a continuation of said awesomeness. Awesome.
Introducing some more characters such as the entire village of Ritona, most importantly Lon, or Leeron (or even… Beautiful Quenn… ughh…), who happens to be the person who taught Yoko everything she knows about the surface… and also the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I DON’T WANNA KNOW WHAT YOUR FINGERS CAN DO TO KAMINA! (Hell, see the fifth screenshot below for just one case of… creepiness). Mind, that is what makes him such an amazingly funny character.
Later on in the episode we have the village that Simon and Kamina are now staying in with Yoko, Ritona, being attacked by another bunch of Ganmen. When an extremely massive one comes along, and seems to easily be able to knock anyone out, Kamina decides he’s going to steal it. Simon meanwhile, realises that the earthquakes caused by Ganmen are what killed his parents. Kamina doesn’t even know how to drive a Gamen but when he gets in it, thanks to some help from Simon, just as he said, he’d use his willpower to work the Ganmen.
Then when Kamina finally gets into the fight, with the 2 Ganmen that are left, and with a little help from Simon manages to defeat them (and since when was the Lagann able to turn into a spiked cannonball?, seriously, does Kamina just wing this or what?).
The episode has a pretty good ending and is as awesome as the first episode. Looking forward too reviewing episode 3 for you guys. Oh, and it seems we’ll be getting a visit from a new character too.

This show is easily the best this season, and you won’t be disapointed by episode 3, it is equally as awesome as this one.
