The part where JJ was pulling the note out from her, it looked like she was giving him a BJ, the way his cloak covered her at the height of his lower abdomen

Too much GAR in that ost.

Definitely a refreshing break from all of the generic personalities I've been seeing recently.

Basically one of this anime's saving points for me.

...sigh. I'm a little interested in Joe though.

Aaand there goes the other one.




Yeeeaah, I'm definitely going to need time to get used to the colorful animation. Actually, I'm going to need time to get used to whole damn anime, but one thing I've learned is to NEVER judge an anime by it's first episode sooo I'm sticking around.

Loved that game, especially that sound Pepsiman makes when he gets hit <3 I would steer him into trucks, beams, and ditches just to hear it

I'm glad I decided to give this anime a chance because I really like it. I don't think Hajime is annoying at all. I like her the most.

That's a nice nod.

As a person who grew up watching the original Gatchaman/G-Force/Battle Of the Planets. I can only say:

What the hell did I just watch?

I think the only things that connects with the previous series are the logos... and that's it. There are some nods to characters like Ken or Joe but is a big shock at first sight.

And that girl, oh my god, that irritatingly annoying girl. Does she have ADHD??

Taking aside that character, the gatchaman suits are nice, like Kazuma Kaneko designs and the music has a great tune.

Still taking my doubts but I think i can tolerate that girl.

That's one damn annoying protagonist (but I guess I'm in the minority here), maybe she will grow on me in time, but for now I'll keep watching this for Saya ... I mean Utsu-tsu.

Hey, did anybody notice the crest or logo in their base and in their chest?






Even the "G" is the same.

I guess it more like a remake of the 1972 "Space Ninja Team Gatchaman." Which btw is an american adaptation cartoon called "G- Force."

I love how this show is so far. Its characters, colour palette, world, everything in general completely pulls me in. Hajime is adorkable, I LOVE her seiyuu here. I can't get enough of her. So far, I find you either love or hate Hajime lol.

Totally got a Power Rangers vibe from this show, but with more kick-ass suits and geometric cube aliens?? I don't even know but I'm loving it. Great start.

That must be one of the most annoying main protagonists I've seen in awhile. Probably not many of us, but I really find her annoying. Maybe if her character design was cuter, it wouldn't be so annoying, who knows. The Saya No Uta girl was very cute though.

Awesome OP and ED, and one of the corniest theme music since Power Rangers/Pokemon.

But the girl is damn annoying.

First of all, seeing the title reminds me of my childhood watching Tatsunoko series.
Hey, its almost 41 years ago since the first Gatchaman was released!

Anyway, I think this new Gatchaman is a good product of reinvention, this is not Gatchaman I used to know, yet this is also a Gatchaman I wanted to see.

I love the CG battle scene, the background music, the design (although that masks reminds me so much of post 2000 Kamen Rider series), however I am slightly bit off with the background and color schemes that a little bit bland, I bet it would looked better with more kafkaesque-dark settings.

I love the voice actors fits perfectly, especially for Joe and Tachibana.

I loved this first ep.

And Hajime is amazing. She doesn't come off as stupid either like most genki girls, more like, as people said earlier in the topic, she just doesn't care. She refuses to conform to what people think she should be or do.

I actually think that will be a major plot point later on. All the other characters felt like they were putting up masks around their true personality/thoughts.

The first part felt like an hour, didn't help that some scenes had no OST at all. Also the voice acting was sleep inducing.
Then there was the transformation sequence. I'm sold.

Mc still feels like listenting to a Kesha song performed by a bunch of Chihuahua tho.

Characters are diverse for the most part, and the OST is the best one this season. The animation is underwhelming, though. Especially with the staff this show has.
