Anyone else find it odd that they have an entire floor to themselves but still share apartments. Seems kinda pointless. It was nice to see what hajima does in her spare time and she keeps just getting better with each episode. It was nice of them to also expalain that they dont get why they are fitted with their weapons since I was asking the some question. Im surprised noone at all through this whole time didint try to communicate with these square things and it seems my question is answered if that glasses character was male or female since I really couldint tell.

Why do I get the feeling O.D is "evil"? I hope he isn't, but I am getting this feeling... Speaking of having a feeling, that GALAX app is suspicious. It will likely be used for evil purposes, I think. Also, I wonder if there is a reason (other than fanservice) for Utsu-tsu wear only a black lingerie most of the time. Hopefully there is one.

Anyways, Hajime is amazing. I love her confidence and how she doesn't really overthink stuff. I wish I were more like her. She is getting close to becoming one of my favorite anime characters.

That GALAX app looks so useful, but it keeps giving me the vibe of the Eye Phone in Futurama.

Hajime, Dues ex Mary Sue that's written way to hard to be "kawaii" and it's annoying. Not surprised everyone here thinks she's great. I thought she was cute when she was fawning over her planners in the first episode. But then I saw that it wasn't just a gimmick and she wasn't a side character... she's the MC ... and that's her normal personality 24/7.... such a terrible character.

Oh boy, it's a trap!

I cant tell at this stage but he/she is certainly going to be interesting.

Really loving the animation.

The whole premise presented in the first episode just got punched in its fucking face in episode 2...

Concerning Hajime, I don't even care for her bubbly personnality and mannerisms. What I can't look past is how she knows all that stuff she does. She's supposed to be the new recruit, yet she just seems to know everything better than everyone else and without any reason behind it...

I was kind of bored, despite the multiple angles of intrigue that this episode introduced. It's hard to say why.

I can still only see Hajime as a heavy-handed wish fulfillment character without any balance or grounding. It's odd, because I normally love characters like her (e.g. Pikari from Amanchu), but Hajime doesn't do anything for me. At least in the first episode she made me laugh via sheer surprise, but not in this one. The rest of the characters aren't much better (Sugane is the worst of the all). I originally decided to watch the show specifically because of Hajime's excellent character design, so I'm a bit sad now.

Rui's appearance didn't do much for me either, even though I was really looking forward to it. This is the thing that bums me out the most.

Hajime is awesome in all her ways.; what bothered me is that her chest doesn't look even half as big with casual clothes.

I don't have any more comments about the episode.

This episode was much better than the first one ! It felt much less chaotic and the weirdness seemed to make sense.
There seems to be an entire concept around the idea of making the world better, depending on how it's handled it can become something very very good or very very bad.
It looks like not just one, but two villains have been introduced here. The first one is apparently just your typical "I LOVE PAIN AND CHAOS MOUHAHAHA" type of villain, however the other one, Rui, seems to be quite interesting. I wonder what she/he/they plan(s) to do with the website.

I read that Hajime is actually smart, well, it has been shown in this episode. But despite what some people say she is far from being the first "seemingly airhead but actually genius" type of character.
I hope they'll be more to her character than just her hidden intelligence and her positive approach. I don't want her to be edgy or whatever, simply have some depth because if she doesn't, I have a feeling she's gonna annoy me at times. I generally truly appreciate quirky yet smart characters, but Hajime feels different, in a way I don't really like. She's just too much, it was fun at first but now I wanna see more.

I like how Hajime's body language reflects her weapon "choice" - scissors.

"The world was updated". Now I get the meaning of the banner inside the train, and that "up" button in the OP.

Rui and Paiman seem to enjoy the same food. Rui also seems to be a crossdresser (?) - not the only time his seiyuu plays such a character.

What's the deal with Utsutsu's clones? And moving hair... Also, how're people interpreting her lines? Is she just repeating her name or am I missing a clever wordplay?

I wonder where was Hajime living before moving in to this new apartment. I also enjoy her positive attitude challenging the basic ideas of Gatchaman (like the way she just went up to JJ when everyone was thinking the floor was actually a precipice or something)

P.S. About Utsutsu's line:
Just about the only thing she says to the other members is "I will be gloomy...," (鬱々します, Utsuutsu shimasu) which is a pun on her name.

Took it from the non-spoilerish character page on MAL.
P.P.S. Rui's NOTE also has a different symbol on it ("G" for GALAX, I suppose)
