I'm glad you guys don't forget these kind of details like Katze being able to shapeshift into people he's kissed. Insight has been bittersweet for me, but it seems the final twist is gonna make it all worth it.

Fucking hajime getting more and more mary sue by the moment.
She was always one but it's basically cemented now that she can do no wrong...



I doubt Hajime can be considered as a flawless or a self-insert type of character. But it's true that she gets on with everyone and doesn't really develop all that much as a character due to her unemotional and impersonal nature.

As for doing no wrong. I think some people will criticize how slow acting she is and the fact that she would have let Rui die.
I get where you're coming from though. It'd be interesting to see her make a really dumb move and f*ck up real bad. I'd like to see what kind of a reaction we'd get... maybe an emotional Hajime or an uber detached one.

It is true that it would take more than 12 episodes to try and define something like this, but how many animes try to tackle issues like this in the first place?

In my experience, about every third anime? It's not that uncommon. I care about how much a story succeeds rather than what it tackles, which is why this doesn't appeal to me. Different strokes for different folks.

I agree with most of the criticism calling this show stupid. Because, well, it IS stupid and ridiculous. It has some very nice ideas, but the way these ideas are presented is just, well, mind boggling.

Still, I don't hate this show because of that, I think Gatcha is a show that aims at children, combining the good old hero show with a bit of social problem, so the idiocy in it can somehow be tolerated.
This is exactly the problem with the show, a series with great premise and idea, but sucked at its presentation.

For those who think the plot was "ridiculous". Just because you don't get it, doesn't mean that it is far fetched or lacking. The plot has been extremely consistent for two cours now, it just has gone over your head.
"Don't get it?" Yeah, right. So you're telling me that allowing anyone, regardless of their background and origins, to run for the highest governmental post and people accepting it just like that is anything realistic, huh? People, or atmosphere aren't nearly as uniform and one-dimentional as the show presents. The whole setup is very, VERY sketchy at best, with many elements excluded or simplified or exaggerated, and a far cry of reality. Basically, the thing is very faulty, and simply put, the show tried to bite more that it could chew because the concept is way too complex for 12 episodes, especially with their way of building things up. So would you please try not to sound so damn high browed, claiming that the dislike others have for the show is solely due to them "not getting" what the creators tried to show?
He put it in the best way possible in the bolded. The idea was good, and if the show had more episodes to allow them to properly explain the characters, more so Tsubasa and Gel-chan, then they wouldn't feel so much like the plot devices the series needed.

The execution of the story was way simplified/exaggerated. One moment it was "Oh, we have the option of letting Gel-chan decides it all?", and the next we have "Let us all do it", without much doubt. I know the show was trying to reinforce the idea, but how about slowly building it toward the idea of "humans are mindless apes", instead of just getting straight to the point? We have had 3 episodes dedicated to Tsubasa, Gel-chan, and Kuu helping the people out, was that much necessary?

Said it, and will do so again. Gatchaman Crowds is a show with great premise and ideas, but lacking in execution of the ideas due to limited time frame.

Also, a few fanatics of this series can be quite.. rude.

That's our Hajime.

LMAO at DD finally meeting OD. Shitting his pants.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Some reused footage in the beginning again, oh well. Pretty minor.

Parts of Hajime's Gatchaman form look like ducks...

Katze's random English words give me life.

"Tachikawa is in the calm before the storm" - nice comment given Gel's abilities :p

Sugane and Joe landed just like in the OP :3 And that statue with birds...I remember seeing it before.

There're so many funny rhymes in the ability names, I just can't.

That camera in the park back from ep.7!

Hajime please don't die ;_; "Trade-off" episode, lol.
no i got a theory that i think is canon. hajime took out katse who was hajime's soul, and then katse kissed gelsadra and took his apperance and ablitties. and the gatchaman killed katse disgusted as gelsadra, which in return killed hajime.

Either that, or Hajime can use Katze's powers directly.

P.S. Realizing that everybody Gatcha'd before delivering Hajime that serious blow makes me sad ;_;

P.P.S. Seems like destroying Kuu-samas was safe for the potential people inside them.
