| She has to be the most relaxed sudden hero recruit I've ever seen XD Really loved her lines right after she got the Gatachaman transformer and how she immediately started telling people she was a Gatachaman ;) This looks like a genre deconstruction series, hope it'll be done well. |
| Oh God, that girl was soooo annoying, I don't think I'm able to hande another episode with her -__-;; |
| Why is this even called Gatchaman? |
  |
| Am I the only person who actually likes Hajime? I don't really know why, since I'm not usually into the happy-go-lucky characters, but she seems pretty nice for me. I'm not really into the blonde guy though, he just looks so weird! Other than that I can only say the animation is just perfect. The anime is so beautiful! |
| Gacha!!! Wow Aya Hirano.. I miss her voice This is the most easygoing heroine that I ever seen Go Bird!! That ost I love this xD |

The transformation designs are pretty neat. I don't like any of the characters though. The blonde guy is too stiff. I don't like the purple haired guy. I don't like lolis in swimsuits. The cowboy guy was alright though. As for the heroine, she was pretty goddamn annoying exclaiming with excitement at every little thing. I also hate the panda going on and on about following rules and stuff. I don't think the phrase "Gatchaman" is going to settle upon me for quite some time. |
| I fucking loved this. Hajime is so cute. |
 |
| I like the OP. I guess the ED's okay. Interesting characters, especially Hajime and Sugane. Needs more of Joe, OD, Paiman, JJ, and Utsu-tsu I guess these Gatchaman are fighting against the MESS. I wonder where this will go and if the lady at the end before the ED has anything to do with it. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Frankly, Hajime is really obnoxious. It's great that she doesn't freak out or anything about Gatchaman, but her personality just... Ugh. I hope her skills make up for that, or, even better, we see character development. The bright colours of the MESS and the animation of the 3D sequences are brilliant. Sugane reminds me a lot of Ishimaru from Dangan Ronpa, which automatically puts him in my good books. The OP and ED weren't very memorable, though a few more episodes may make them stick. |

| Gatchaman, I love it! Pretty nice start of this anime with some awesome characters and great action already, I really wonder what this series will hold but I sure love the main character! |
 |
| Ok, this anime's super-weird. It reminds me of KARAS. I'm gonna continue watching it for now, as I've labeled animes as weird before, but ultimately I liked them very much. So who knows. |
  |
| i hope thi anime wont disappoint me |
| Just the first episode, and I am starting to love this series! I'm starting to love Hajime with her cheery and full of energy~ She's soo awesome!! The animation and the music was also amazing! |
 |
| Been recommended this by too many people to ignore it any longer. Loved the bright art and the music. Hajime is completely over the top and I don't know how that's going to be handled over 12 episodes but I'm willing to find out. |

| I love Harime. Soundtrack and visuals are a feast for the ears and eyes. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| don't know if i can take another EP of this annoying ass bitch... |
 |
| Loving the visuals; Hajime is a breath of fresh air amongst the countless cardboard-cutout female characters in anime. Sugane seems a bit uptight, but not so much that it becomes annoying. I can't believe I missed this show last year. |
| "Gatchaman does exist. It's Senpai and me."- Hajime "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"- Sugane That was funny. I liked how they explained a lot of things. The animation is unique. I like it. Pretty good so far. I wonder where it'll go. Op is okay, I like the ED better. |
| I enjoyed how energetic Hajime was, but besides that this seems like the usual ''fight against crime organization'' thing with wackier designs. |
 |
| The finger punctured her through the boob and gave her powers !!! with some orgasming as a side effect |
 |
| Why the MC looks like Otohiko WTF?! so Gay |
 |
| A big boobed MC and a loli who walks around in her underwear. Yep, already glad I decided to watch this. |
| I don't know is it strange or not... |
| Art style is interesting; Backgrounds are flat; but I love the colors of all the visuals; character designs are very strange looking. The main girl is way too talkative and obnoxious. Cant take the chibi panda seriously, so thats going to get annoying quick. o man but im a sucker for scissor weapons. |
~my list
| I'm sold on this. Crazy MC, colourful artstyle, funky music, lots of fun! |
 |
| lol... i like Hajime's voice, every "cute" sounds adorable, her gatchaman(?) is very... colourful and the animation isnt bad either.. Nice start and awesome op. |
 |
| What the hell just happened lol? I am so confused atm. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| the girl is annoying as hell , anyone spotted the gay. |
 |
| Now, that was funky. Jumps straight into the action, I like it. Girl is a real spaz but she's fun to watch and listen to. |
| This first episode was kind of disorienting, while also feeling slower than it should have, and the exposition didn't help. If I have the right idea of what the show will be about, this episode was not a very good way to go about introducing it. I don't find the weird characters annoying (just yet), but they're not as amusing as they should be. Something about the comedic timing feels off. So far it's kind of like Kill la Kill without the gorgeous visuals, and the humor (so I'm wondering what I'm supposed to find entertaining). Hajime is more than quirky, she is legit weird - which wouldn't be a problem, but she's not funny or interesting enough to justify that weirdness, at least so far. Hajime's transformation sequence felt incomplete, I thought they would go all out on animating that... |

| I feel like whether one enjoys this anime or not really hinges on whether you like the borderline retarded main characters. But I love the main girl! She could easily seem annoying, but she's cute and it's really funny to watch her. The animation itself might not be masterpiece status, but the shiny colors and eyebleed inducing designs of the gatchaman are totally my jam! Plus the OST is pretty dope, even if the OP has some of the most awful English I ever witnessed. Even while reading what it's supposed to mean I had trouble recognizing the words. :P I feel like the only way this anime can "screw up" and become less interesting for me is if it tries to be too serious / dramatic. If it's some more colorful, action-packed spastic antics of this girl and her new friends, I am totally on board. Gatcha! Gatcha! |
| Well this show sure is creative. Despite that, it doesn't look that great for now. It looks like it is mostly weird just for the sake of it (and I don't think I'll be able to tolerate the characters if they keep being such weirdos, and the same goes for Mister Bland Mc), the animation is very bad, the plot is nothing amazing... I think the biggest (and maybe only) reason I'll keep watching is for Hajime, who's super weird and quite dumb but also surprisingly likable and fun. I just hope she'll develop a bit, or else even she won't be enough to keep me interested. I don't know, maybe I'll end up loving this show but for now, despite what it looks like it's not really my cup of tea. |

| OP and ED with live-action parts? Yes please! I haven't watched the original Gatchaman, but that's pretty good! A lot of expositional talk but that's fine because it sets up all the necessary mechanics, I guess. Also Kenji Nakamura is reusing a certain seiyuu again :p Others are great too! I love how "JJ" can be read like "old man" in Japanese, and JJ is precisely that. Who was that girl(?) in Sugane's room at the beginning? There was a guy in a strange mask (just like in the OP), and there's some focus on phone apps. Maybe "connections" and "networking" are among the themes of the show? O.D. looks *very* similar to Leeron from TTGL! During their collective meeting with JJ, everybody had a number next to them, hmm. P.S. Sugane used his NOTE to open the turnstile. Quite a multipurpose device, huh? Also, there's some CGI (Nakamura at it again!) and it looks decent. P.S. Hajime's barrette looks like a bird. Relevant, I guess? |

| Everyone in this show needs to calm down, my god. 5/5 |
 |
| J.J. Robinson's English voice is ALL wrong! |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Not sure about this one. Sure, at first glance there is something to like here. The oppai girl is severely autistic and that's my fetish. I also like the rori girl's voice actor, and she was wearing skimpy swimsuit too. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna like this show, since the theme of fighting against le evil monsters is very boring, and I don't like their transformation costumes. I also dislike the male cast of this show, especially that new half guy. Oh yeah, and the swimsuit rori kinda looks like the girl from Saya no Uta. Maybe it's the hairstyle.  |
