Gatchman crowds is basically a re-imagination of an older TV series known by a similar name: Gatchaman. This show tells the story of a group of heroes united under one goal: Stopping all evil. Pretty simple right. Taking the more light-hearted shounen like path in story telling; the plot unfolds from the perspective of our main heroine Ichinose Hajime, a fun and quirky character who has just become a gatchaman, one of the legendary and supposedly mythical heroes who protects the world. However as her own character conflicts with the normal identity of secrecy that is being a gatchaman, she soon reveals to the world the truth that has been kept secret for so long, the existence of gatchaman. And it is with this that our story and hers begins.
Characters: 7
Character Development: 6
Don't expect much in the character department, yeah sure the characters are fun and will make you smile, they also do a good job tying the world together; however there is no real character development seeing as how this show is one of those where friendship is a non-spoken of kind of magic that can power up characters.
Plot: 8
Pacing: 8
Interesting plot idea, some plot holes, but nothing that will take you out of the experience. While watching this show I suggest that you turn of for the most part the analytical part of your mind, because while the idea of creating a utopia is a very intricate theme, it is not a topic that can be easily done well if the show isn't serious enough, a criteria that this show doesn't fulfill. Ignoring those small faults, the show is still well spread out and I never really found myself thinking that a part of the show was out of place or pointless, so in that regard the show did a good job with its pacing.
Sound: 8
Art: 7
Fun music and a fitting art style. Not to mention the gatchaman theme that plays all the time is the best thing ever.
Enjoyment: 7
While I may be giving this show a rather low score do not let this make you think I disliked the show, in reality it was a fun and enjoyable experience, while I have yet to finish the second season I am still looking forward to seeing it as the original content was super silly and simple fun. I highly recommend watching this show if you are low on things to watch, or are just in the mood for good old fashion super hero action.
