 "Broken child"? Hmm.... >Everyone can become heroes. That talk with Umeda-san about idealism and stuff was kinda interesting I guess. Changing the world isn't so damn easy, you know? I keep forgetting that Rui is a trap. Poor guy.. Oh and Hajime looks cute in a ponytail. JUST SAYING.Ofc, she's badass to be a hero/Gatchman. Decent episode with the tunnel drama. Dat cliffhanger... I'll look forward to seeing what happens next time~ |

| It is getting interesting. |

| That cliffhanger! I love the Gatchaman that gets played when they transform, its so perfect. |
 |
Utsu-tsu is getting cuter by the episode.  That scene where Rui dropped in with all the CROWDS was pretty cool. Rui looked surprised when she saw Hajime's bird. I wonder what she knows about Gatchaman, or if she was one before. Many possibilities. This show is keeping a pretty good mysterious feel to it. |

| aww dont end at spot like that.. not even preview of next ep :( |
 |
| Hajime is bleeding from her mouth and on the side of her face and still keeps a smile. All I could think at the moment was expecting her to say those magic words: "Bird Go!" The rest of the episode is meh except for the part where Rui tries to bring one of the hundred to reason. And he doesn't listen. Just like most people, when they get power they want to go up the stairs of life using it and it ends up corrupting their minds... well played. |
VioLink said: Stark700 said: My heart Utsutsu was sooo kawaiii in that scene <3 Loving Hajime. Her ponytail was cute. And I love how she always says "Hajime-su" XD She was BA at the end. Bleeding and all that but charging without caring at all. Really Dat cliffhanger was awesome. Loved Rui's conflict and his entrance was pretty epic! Like a BOSS. Can't wait for nxt ep. This is getting better and better. And Damn Miyano seems to be enjoying his role as Berg lol XD |
 |
| This was great looks like he found out that there are heroes. I just love the ost 'gatchaman' every time she transform. It gets me hyped up! |
 |
So like, does this look like a young Hajime to anyone else? What does that make this guy?  That's right. CROWDS ACCESSES AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE HAJIME IS YOUNGER, JOE IS HER DAD, JJ IS BERG, AND SUGANE IS A JUNGLE GYM!!! Or maybe Hajime has relatives, that works too. |
| It was a good episode with Rui. I find him far more interesting than the Gatchaman team. Members of the Hundred are probably the original creators of GALAX and X, alongside Rui. Not surprisingly, they knew about Rui's power of Crowds, and they have hoped to use his Crowds for their own ambitions. Rui did not choose the best group of people to hang out with. That Demon Trickster has obviously planted seeds so that Rui would have to become the antagonist. I really sympathize with Rui's ideals. He has a pure heart and a noble cause. Ironically, human's greed will set doom to his world. Imosa said: That's right. CROWDS ACCESSES AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE HAJIME IS YOUNGER, JOE IS HER DAD, JJ IS BERG, AND SUGANE IS A JUNGLE GYM!!! I'm doubtful about that being the true nature of Rui's power. |

| Go Hajime! |
Rui-Rui said: That aside, I wonder what the heck happened to O.D in this episode, its the first time we don't see him around at all. Aww well, all the cute/funny/awesome Hajime scenes makes up for it :D Well, he was talking to Hajime through GALAX, but yeah, no actual appearances. Rui-Rui said:  I wonder what the different symbols mean, though. Berg Katze's NOTE has the Gatchaman symbol in the same style of the "CROWDS" in the anime name. Rui's has two triangles? |
 |
| Another great episode. The OST really stood out for me again. That ending was also really intense. I wonder what Berg Katze is up to?  |
Tulicloure said: I wonder what the different symbols mean, though. Berg Katze's NOTE has the Gatchaman symbol in the same style of the "CROWDS" in the anime name. Rui's has two triangles? Well, Berg does has JJ's note making powers and JJ did call him a "Bird with Broken Wings" or something earlier on, so his symbol could be a sign of him being a Fallen Gatchaman...as for Rui, his Note symbol is somewhat similar to the 'eye' part in Berg's icon as seen in the OP scene which would make sense considering Berg made it:  As for why Pai-Pai and Jou has a slightly different symbol than the others - either the animators made an error and cbd to change it, or it has story significance someday. |

| It was a beautiful vision, but there's so much variation between people that expecting everyone would be happy from that really does seem like madness. But it is a kind of madness I could enjoy. And in a way Rui does match up with Hajime. Wanting people to be happy and work together. Only Hajime recognizes people do come with different views and wants. Good character foil is good. :D |

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| This was a nice episode, does anyone know when the OST comes out? |
| Thinking some more, the "eye" symbol is diamond shaped, which relates to Berg's "tail". Seems so obvious now that I'm feeling kinda stupid... azzuRe said: Actually, if we consider the fact from the original series, there's a possibility that I've been meaning to ask: what happened to Berg in the end of the original series?

| I just re-watched the last few minutes of the episode and I realized that the artists wasted a great opportunity to show us some of Hajime's massive chest as her left shirt strap dangled - all we got were a couple of tantalizing glimpses! <g> |
| Ugh, cliffhanger. I'm excited for the next episode. It's getting more interesting. |
| Good episode. A little sad theres a cliffhanger, but they really set it up here. I'm curious on how Rui is going to take seeing a Gatchaman now. |
 |
| i love rui ah im so glad they finally meet anyway number 26's daughter reminded me a lot of hajime maybe thats hajime's dad??? or he looks too young i wonder how rui will react to the gatchaman though this was a very cute episode and i loved hajime's courage |
| Great episode once again. Shit just keeps getting real every episode. Dat cliffhanger though... They really know how to keep me watching this show. (How is this so low rated again? Oh, right.... mal...) |
Wecc said: All Hail HaXXspetten King of the Loli Traps! |
| awww, it ended at the best moment. And there was no preview of the next episode :( Another weak to wait. |
| I love how Hajime is never listening to anyone and happy all the time :D |
| I feel like I'm one of the few that is still confused about the story. I suppose I have a general grasp of what's going on, but not really... On another note, this anime has moments I just absolutely love, like when Hajime transformed at the end. I love the opening and ending too. Gets me excited. :) |
| AOTS for me!! |
| That ending was intense as hell. |
 |
| The last few minutes were really intense! Hajime was injured pretty badly and was still determined to go and help out. Rui eventually relies on the Crowds power and finds out about the existence of Gatchaman. :3 First half was pretty slow but picked up in the second half. :) 5/5 |
 |
| Miyano Mamoru is probably having a lot of fun with Berg Katse, he's doing insanely good at it. |
 |
| finally Rui discovered the other gatchamans |
| Really good episode, imo. Hajime in dat new outfit. Dat cliffhanger... |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| the ending song and it's climaxes are getting too intense for me XDDD This is one hell of an anime |
