| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Rui ;.; Oh God, I feel sorry for him. It was nice seeing Utsu-utu kicking ass I guess in her transformation form. Gatchaaaaaaman. Dat cliffhanger. Oh God Rui. |
 |
| Starts with the gatchamen detailing their character development thanks to Hajime and their fellow gatchmen, while Unbeatable network plays finally! Everyone kicking ass and PaiPai giving orders! Damn Katze Hijacked the stream posing as the PM and is telling everyone to use CROWDS. Next ep is the finale! It's going down! And we will finally see OD transform. |

| Excellent cliffhanger! Katze truly is a devious villain and impersonating the P.M. at the end was a masterstroke. |
 |
| That episode was soooo fast and even if half of it was just filler-like, I liked it (though it seemed more like a last episode intro than the one before it). The end was just... so sad... I wanted to go and hug Rui and pat the poor prime minister that had finally felt like he was actually doing something about the people. Still though... I adore Katze <3 There is a small part of me that wouldn't mind if he was the one winning in the end :3 But I don't really see him losing in the true sense. He will probably be defeated by the Gatchaman but I think he will find something he didn't know before about the planet and its people and be happy that it was a challenge :3 |

 100% of all dead people have never complained about being dead. So I guess it isnt that bad. |
| Oh man it just got real. One more episode to go. Can't wait. |
 |
| Yeah, holy shit. At first I was like: uh, when they gather everyone now, what do they do in the last episode. But holy shit. bergkatze is a first class villiain. What bugs me right now is: was it planned all along or did hey just adapt zu the situation? |
| Ehh, first-half didn't interest me. I know they're talking about their impressions of Hajime first-hand, but I pretty much got all that after watching them change from her throughout the show. Second half was good though, Prime Minister finally grew some balls and now it's just a huge mess. Frontalbrise said: What bugs me right now is: was it planned all along or did hey just adapt zu the situation? He said he no longer needed X anymore when X locked Katze out, so that means he had that installed into GALEX before then. In other words, looks like he already had planned that out. |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Hmm except for that first half of recaps I really enjoyed this episode a lot. That part at the end was a great cliff hangar. =) I really enjoyed seeing all the Gatchaman in action as well. That ending song is pretty catchy. =3 |
| The first half wasn't bad but it could've been a bit shorter. Not complaining though. 2nd half was awesome so all is good. Pai-Pai really getting leader like XD And PM getting made fun of XD Katze is awesome as usual. Really such an amazing villain. Nxt up...OD!!! Can't wait :D |
 |
| Man, Katze is so unpredictable. I love it. |
 |
| I seriously have no idea how this will end. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Can't wait for the finale. |
| Kinda disappointed that we only got half an episode, but I still enjoyed the recap from everyone's perspective and we got to learn a bit more about the characters, although the whole focus on Hajime screamed death flag to me. The second half however was as great as usual and I can't wait to see how they wrap things up now and they have a LOT of things to wrap up. Also, Berg Katze's Gatchasuit for anyone who's interested: http://i.imgur.com/toaGb19.png |
| So this is the moment Hajime failed. She failed to predict Katze would impersonate the PM even if there was sufficient information. That's great. It makes :> a more balanced character and less a omniscient one. I really like this show. Can't wait to see how they solve this. |
| What I love about this show is the element of deconstruction it brings to the whole super hero theme. There has always been the conflict between Galex (we don't need no stinking super heroes we can do it ourselves) and the Gatchaman (we will stay in our fortress of solitude and only emerge to save the masses who can never appreciate or understand us). With the release of the powers to all Galex users, the Gatchaman have to work together with the positive Galex users to resolve the problem. There is also that traditional theme of the Japanese people buckling down and coming together to resolve the problem weighed against modern distrust and disillusionment with traditional institutions. But mostly I just want to yell Go Bird! and sing along to the theme...Gatchamannnn... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Well the first half was a little boring, but that's about it. |
 |
| The recap was a bit unnecessary but man, that ending really made up for it. I can't wait to see his (and O.D.'s?) Gatchaman form in the final. |
| Ara ara. |
| This episode was beast! |
 |
| Good Good Good! |
| Felt that the recap was not need it, but that ending was great. Just when things were looking up, shit went right back to hell. Hopefully for the final episode O.D. transforms and end all of this shit. |
 |
| Half of that was filler... Last two episodes have not impressed me at all, let's hope the final episode doesn't disappoint |

Can't wait :D 100 % agreement and I hope they don't but the recap of hajime worries me to killing her off... O.D 300 wow, cant wait to see his transformation.. and how the hell their gonna rap this up in 20 min is beyond me.. ( ah p.s who is that samurai guy in Barion-Zara's comment.. looks so familiar.. ) any who love dis anime |

| Oh snap, Berg Katze is a crafty one taking advantage of the situation to make more CROWDS |
| For anyone who hasn't seen it, the show's website has put up Berg Katze's transformed design. And just like him, it's freaking insane. |
| For such a short series, the recap in the first half doesn't seem all that necessary. The characters have shown, primarily through their actions in Episode 10, how their attitudes toward Hajime have changed, so explicitly presenting their views in this episode seems redundant. In a longer series, a recap like this might have made more sense. The second half is clearly the build-up to the climax of the series, and it effectively sets up the final battle while retaining the unpredictability of the narrative. This episode doesn't exactly stand on its own; precisely how well it is working will depend on how it feeds into the final episode. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
| Woo, well that was an intense feeling of incoming doom with them all reflecting like that. I'm reconsidering thoughts of OD being doomed since both of them dying off would be just too sad. D: |
 |
| The recap was a little too long, taking over half an episode. Despite that, it serves as a good recollection of how the OP Hajime changed each of their individual lives. The ending was somewhat expected with Berg-Katze forcibly granting the citizen access to CROWDS. Nevertheless great episode :) |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| The re-cap disguised as monologues about Hajime in the first half was quite unnecessary but I didn't dislike it. Second half was still able to make me feel satisfied with the episode. Rui finally got X back. The scenes with the Gatchaman members fighting the Crowds were just absolute eye-candy. The Prime Minister's live stream was hilarious. They gave away free smart phones? WTF, I WANT ONE LOL! Katze disguised as the Prime Minister was so crazy. Everyone's summoning more Crowds and Rui screams. What a cliffhanger! I'm really excited for the final episode. Gatchaman Crowd is seriously underrated. 5/5 |

Just imagine OD Gatcha form vs Katze Gatcha form. Eye gasmisc stuff for the finale!!! :D |
|
| 2nd half is awesome. Too bad it was too short because of the recap/monologue about Hajime. Can't wait for the final showdown next week! And of course, awesome OSTs as always!!!! P.S. Love that part where they just gave away free smartphones! haha. |
| lol that Katze is really annoying i hope that villain dies already |
| Rui's ultra panic at the end. Great episode!!! |
 |
| I see. The first half of the episode sounded like Hajime's death flag to me. Though it would be awesome if somehow it turns out that Katze can't be killed so she (or OD, or both of them) becomes another Minato (P3) and find a way to "seal" Katze by sacrificing themselves and save the planet. Poor PM and Rui :( p.s i wonder what happened to that guy who leads Neo Hundred? |

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| it was a half recap episode but I really enjoy watching any moment. This anime is just fantastic :3 |
| LOL!! Brilliant counterstrike by Berg. Its basically down to a chess match of Hajime vs Berg |
| the first half was so heartwarming and the second one was hella cool im in love |
| As far as the recap's concerned, I feel like the directors probably had enough material for 1.5 well paced episodes, so they decided to put a little filler during the first half of this one so they could a) End this episode on a cliffhanger and b) Use the entire last episode for the final battle with Katze. |
| the first half felt like a freakin' recap |
 |
| Why do I get this horrible feeling Hajime is going to die in the next episode? |
| First half was a review... kind of a waste. 2nd half was solid though. |
  |
| Kinda feel that first half was a bit draining the viewer enthusiasm, a bit bad timing for recap or reminiscence as it is happens on the climax of the show. Redfoxoffire said: Why do I get this horrible feeling Hajime is going to die in the next episode? Because her 'dying' question on previous episode, continued with how everyone feels for Hajime in the first half of this episode.
