| 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. |
| 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.

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| awesome episode..! the fighting scene is really awesome.. I really wanted to see O.D henshin :3 and I really like "chang ka chang ka chang ka chang ka chang" katze :3 and X is back.. DAMN! I really want galax in the future! XD I REALLY WANT THE APK! and DAT ENDING.. everyone became crowds! |
| Holy shit Katze.. |
lolkusatsu said: I didn't understand what they tried to do there. If all the chaos was caused by technology, isn't destroying it the best to deal with it? So why did they all give more smartphone to the people? Why didn't they deactivate the nearby internet towers? I guess that this way would work after all they'd only need to terminate the remaining CROWDS instead of creating new ones which happened in the end. Also, I only watched the second half. The Crowds can be used for good as well. So it's up to Hajime & the others to convince the citizens to use the power for good, which would break Katze's game. |
| Ara ara. |
| The PM was awesome until he fked up. |
| Nice hearing everyones perspectives on Hajime. Good episode. |
 |
| RUI ;_; Well, katze is really lame lol, I like how he does it. |
| 12:40 lol the first half was total recap 19:14 i want a new smartphone! dat Katze |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| A couple of episodes ago Hajime asked Sugane what he would feel if she died. That question really got stuck on my mind. With the first half of the show being centered on how thankful each member of the G-team is to Hajime, it's strangely sending strong signals and indications that something is bound to happen to her. |
| The Opening changed once again adding Usutsu's Gatchaman form. Dat cliffhanger. Finale next week TwT |

I have a feel she's going to go the Martyr route. Sacrifice herself to save the world... ;_; Hajime noooo. |
| Hajime x Utsutsu OTP |
| A meh episode the first half felt like filler although it was interesting. I never even knew Utsutsu hated Hajime. |
Nasty001 said: Hey, does anybody have any link where I could watch the 11th episode? Co'z my fave sites don't have it yet. Crunchyroll |
 |
| As much as I hated the half episode recap, the 2nd half was good and just as it looked like it was going good, Katze turned it up on their heads again. Now how will Hajime get out of this..... oh wait, duh its so simple. Turn the phones off. |
 |
| Seems the series put a lot of emphasis of the positively infectious effect Hajime has on everyone, but my question is: Does it really need half an episode for that? Would it mean not sufficient space for the main story? Glad to see the prime minster in action mode. In a way he is like a real politician - having good intention but staying in politics dealing with fellow politicians and bureaucrats that he just sounded out of touch, lost or cynical. A crisis could jerk him into coming back to himself and look human again. Too bad his motivated action got hijacked by Katze... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Katze as 10/10 villain. Anyway, I love how the prime minister developed his character in just a few episodes. It's just genial. |
 |
| Oh boy I really wonder what the last episode has to offer! |
 |
| Wow, that twist at the end. Just when things were starting to pick up for them. |
| Wow.. Free Smartphones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aw, Katze is so evil But he's so smart.. Well, I'm definitely looking forward for the free smartphon-... I mean the final episode iRock707 said: The first half was such a waste. Thinking that this only has 12 episodes, they could have used it much more better. I thought it's not a waste It's recaps of their characters developments.. Well, for me.. So it's not a waste They even explain their own reasons for their own attitudes The only thing that minimum in this ep is the budget xD |
"Signature removed"   |

| the first half that was in appriciation to hajimes god like self screamed death flag to me / oh and poor rui |
VioLink said: 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. i swear OD better not be Katze, its been in the back of my head for a while, and i dont want to believe it. |
| :o that cliffhanger |
| OD, Utsu-tsu, Paiman, Joe, and Sugane told how Hajime changed them. Oh my feelings. Yay, X came back! (^_^) They're now using GALAX to save everyone. The Prime Minister or Suga-yan was totally useless at first. But then he got the courage and became badass enough in order to try and save the city. But since Berg-Katze is so evil and smart, it managed to copy the Prime Minister and made a whole lot of people use Crowds. I don't how the Gatchaman can stop it. Well, there's always OD. |
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. |
| Was that Hajime colossal death flag recap or what?! |

| Awesome episode! I like how each of the characters talk about their own feelings with Hajime. Can't wait! One more episode to go! |
