Very good overall again, I hope there will be more. Hajime is still the best.

Anyone know the song that is playing when Sugane is about to finish Hajime but Tsubasa is standing in the way, it's not in the OST apparently.

I just realized that I never commented here, seeing as I have mostly been commenting while following this ever since it started, if I'm not mistaken.

So anyways, that was wonderful! The way this anime ended was just splendid! I loved it!

I literally was tearing up, and was hoping so much that Hajime would be okay, and teared up once again when she woke up. Was so happy. The way she sacrificed herself was aching and powerful.

Hajime has always been one of my favorite characters in the whole show, ever since the first season. What's amazing about her is that she has little to no character development, yet became so likeable to me! Usually I don't really care about main characters, especially protagonists, who do have little to no character development in action anime like this, but Hajime's roles were so good to me. Loved her very much.

The way this season started or picked up, compared to the first one, was slower or less fun in a way, but it ended so well, and I enjoyed it overall. I will give this an 8, just like the last season.

Hajime's really the most thoughtful character, along with Katze their awesome.
Middle episodes became real drag to watch with very annoying Tsubasa. Gel was sorta ok since the alien naivete & atmosphere is core of the themes. The social commentaries & human nature, ape, crowd mentality, democracy, hero de nanska? (Hajime), are thoughtfully included, though presentation in some episodes could've been much improved. and after the Kuu-vomit, it got much better. Loved the last 2 episodes, I really felt something from Gatcha and it concluded so well.
The osts all fit the atmosphere perfectly.

The middle was iffy and it did feel a little underwhelming and simplified until the last few episodes. Seeing Hajime being attacked and making such expression was a surprise. I still don't care for Tsubasa or Gel, but at least Tsubasa got a bit of development.

Ugh, I teared up when they explained it was Hajime. It was a pretty solid ending, and Hajime's just awesome. Gatchaman Crowds just wouldn't be the same without her.

Hajime's really the best character.

It was really hard watching her in pain and whatnot but i'm glad she made it. Katze's dialogues were amazing, i just wish him and Hajime had more screen time... would've been amazing.

I didnt like the ending... sure Hajime survived and all but it wasnt as satisfying as season one. Hopefully there's a season 3 underway.

This season was pretty underwhelming compared to the first. Tsubasa's naivety throughout was really irritating and Gelsadra didn't leave me feeling anything but "why"? The pair of new characters lacked impact, as the show as a whole did. Hajime is by far the best character, with O.D being second, and to me they didn't get enough significant screentime. The series was by no means bad though, it just didn't leave me feeling much in comparison to the first (which I rated 10/10) - which is of course difficult to live up to. I'll give it a generous 8/10 (borderline 7).

One of the best Superhero theme anime out there. So much life lesson squeeze into both seasons.
Didn't really liked hajime's gatcha costume since season1 but her character just owns the entire show.
Please make another season.

Ahhhh!! The final episodes turned it around for me! I was starting to feel frustrated from the build up because there was too much Tsubasa and Gel in the middle episodes.

But I'm happy with the way the team got together for the finale... I'm especially pleased with Hajime and Katze (love him!) as well as the part having Sugane deliver the "final" blow.

I was so teary eyed the entire time Tsubasa was explaining the situation. Glad Hajime (and Katze. lol) are alright in the end~ xD

The soundtrack really helps get me in the mood, especially during the last two episodes. I think one of the tracks was called, "In Exchange For My Life" sounded like a sad hero anthem that was influenced by Hans Zimmer's work in the Dark Knight.

Overall, I enjoyed Gatchaman Crowds (and Hajime/Katze). I'll take a look at the older Gatchaman series another time.

That was a great end to a great sequel. Would watch again. This had a lot of great ideas and interesting themes! I'm really becoming a huge fan of Kenji Nakamura (the director of this series). Hajime is a best, Utsutsu is still the cutest thing ever. I'm really glad this sequel happened.

Very boring overall, first season was decent but the focus being on tsuabasa and the alien made this season annoyingly boring. Although, it was an interesting watch this season so close to the U.S. presidential election considering this season seems to highlight and mock public opinions as a joke considering people are easily swayed one way or another at the drop of a hat.

Really like this series, but i felt the first season was a little better. Not sure if theres a manga or something but, is there there a possibility of a third season ?? Near the end of insight, i feel they could do something about X. She (it) seemed to be evolving, and maybe could turn into an evil AI or something.

Hajime and Katze are the MVP, but could you expect anything less from this combo?

They pretty much did, but no one can ruin it too much so long as Hajime's here. 8/10 because of her and Katze.

I liked the plot itself, as well as the commentaries and themes of the season.

But good god almighty, Gel-chan and (especially) Tsubasa's characters really, really annoyed me, even though I know where the writers were coming from. They detracted so much from the show that in the end I found it average (specially because characters like Sugane and Utsutsu were basically discarded, and others like OD and Joe were fairly underutilized).

I would still like another season, though.

Hajime yet again proven to be the best character ever!

This season overall was rather weak. Mostly because Tsubasa, her character was so bland and irritating and the fact that she and Gel took up most the screen time was really disappointing.

Season 3 with more Hajime please!! ...and Katze

Damn. The Hajime getting hurt scenes were brutal only because this season had nothing close to it. True hero.

Utsutsu. :)

And Hajime woke up.

The real question everyone should be asking is did Sugane get his harem back.

I admit, I can tolerate Gel. Tsubasa on the other hand...nope.

Preferred the first season.

It was a nice ride. I still find the newest Gatchaman annoying as hell, even at the end. I'm kind of disappointed that Hajime's past is still a mystery and so was OD's. But other than that, this season did a great job of handling its themes.

Definitely a lack of action this season, but they really hit deep with the truths in compensation. The writers pulled no punches in showing how fucked up we are as a society. Groupthink, segregation of others, inability to think for one's self, the influence of an atmosphere...really showed the world how we're just pieces of shit.

You know humanity is in a bad state in terms of mentality when Hajime says "I basically need to sacrifice myself just to get people to stop acting like idiots". She is legit batman. The hero the city needed, but not the hero they deserved.

SEASON 3 PLEASE!

oh look, an opinion of someone not influenced by the atmosphere wow,
jokes aside, yeah, my thoughts exactly

really solid season, in my opinion, even if it had less action it felt really authentic, like, what would happen in our world after the incidents of season 1
9/10 for me, hoping for a s3

Woah, threw me off there seeing a notification for this show, lol.

But yea, agreed. They didn't try to retcon anything or brush certain aspects of the previous season under the table to set up this season. It realistically played off the first season as a straight continuation.

Bitch wtf I actually teared up a little. Hajesus finally woke up after a month of healing. This was a really good season. I love all the ideas presented and the ending is very satisfactory.

My only gripe would probably be Tsubasa barely contributing to the plot. They made it sound like she was going to be the one who stops Gel but in the end, it was Hajime who sacrificed herself.

It took 5 years to watch this show and it is BRILLIANT. It was never about going with the flow - it's about taking responsibility as your own person, thinking, deciding and living as your own man. The truest essence of democracy is not when people stop thinking - it was when people think and make a choice to their best of their ability.

I love it!

Hajime's screams were so...unexpected.

It took me 2 seasons to realize that Sugane uses his extended left hand as a sword handle in his Gatchaman form...

Why did they even need Sugayama to be there...Is he like a temporary Prime Minister now? Or just a friend of Gatchaman?
UPD: oh well he really is the acting PM again. One of the politicians played a joke on his name or something...I didn't exactly get it.

Rui's new hairstyle is awesome

Damn I actually cried when Yuru-jii finally made his decision (to make a move in shogi and to vote)

Funny how the color of the voting buttons partially reflected Gelsadra's own color scheme. Still, they barely got more than 50%...far from consensus.

I wonder why nobody's searching for Rizumin lol. He's technically a runaway. Well, whatever. Maybe he used his connections or something. Or maybe just good security.

"Yuru Yuru Yuru" now that's where Yuru-jii's name come from.

Tsubasa strangles Hajime -> she can't breathe = can't feel the atmosphere after missing so much :p

Hajime not awakening from her state could've been an interesting, yet bittersweet, ending. But oh well, everything's fine now!

P.S. Joe is smoking again! He should return to lollipops :p

P.P.S. Nakamura's Hajime pose on his MAL page is adorable.

One thing this show does well is portray how the majority of the society is just blind sheep who follow the public opinion. It's just like watching people rate shows on MAL. If a show has an average rating above 8, people will vote it highly simply because it's considered a good show by the public. It's laughable how majority of human population can't think for themselves and feel the absolute necessity to follow the public opinion.
