| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Such a cute gift~ Fun episode I guess. Hajime is just too cute to watch. Way too many cute moments. Cute/5. Hajime and Utsu-tsu bought a big smile to my face this week. |

 Fun episode. Rui using GALAX to help Hajime/Utsutsuu to escape reminded me of that scene in Durarara. Rui wants them to quit gatchaman? |

eminagnam said: Breaking the rules of Gatchaman, Hajime acted like an airhead again. Haha. I didn't imagine Galactors would carry baseball bats, not machine guns. Kinda cute lol I finally understood his concept of "Update the World." He had a point in opposition to Gatchaman. Just wonder why Hajime thinks Gatchaman is necessary. Maybe she noticed flaws of Galax? Like Rui and Sugane said, she is above our understanding. Hajime is a genius, everything that she does has a valid reason to it, and she notices a lot of stuff better than most people, I really do respect her for that. The only thing is I wish she could explain the reasoning behind she does some things; When she revealed her face to Rui, and Sugane asked why she did it, I wonder what she meant when she said that she needed to do that. Also, I wonder if Hajime knows that Rui is in a disguise, that comment about the makeup seems to hint at that. |

| She also used "kun" rather than "chan" as an honorific which would imply that she knew his gender. (Not definitive, but supportive of her other comments regarding make-up.) Of course we still haven't got a coherent explanation about the significance of his cross-dressing. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This show got Tiger and Bunny feel, were they made by the same studio. Tachibana gachaman reminds me of Skyhigh. Rui is kinda right that people should stop relying on heroes and help; I mean hey stop relying on someone else to always save your ass, but I think not all situation the masses can handle, so that's why I think Gachaman is needed. |
| Utsutsu looking cute with that handmade ribbon. |
 |
| Hajime is so awesome as always. She really steals the show for me. I enjoyed this episode a lot! |
| Hajime, stealthy as fuck. :D |
| Haijme does have it together despite how she acts. I hope they put more spotlight on Jou now that he's going after the red haired guy. The trap is really unfair |

Rui does have a point but ignores the flaws in his own system. People may stop relying on heroes to save them, but they are just transferring that reliance to Galax to tell them what to do. Can update the world or whatever but if you turn Galax off suddenly people will go right back to doing what they did before. A system that can be abused for good or bad is hardly an ideal world to be aiming for. No everyone is perfect like Hajime; able to use the system without being controlled by it. Oddly enough this episode is kind of where I'm getting slightly tired of Hajime's perfection. Every decision is perfect, with logical reasoning and never goes wrong. Reveals herself...just because she needed to do it right then. Far more interested in Jou hunting down Berg than Hajime seeing through everything perfectly. At least can hope Jou actually finds this guy and this series with heroes can actually have a fight or two in it. |
| I'm so surprised how good this show has been. The first episode was pretty much a letdown for me and thought Hajime would be the most annoying girl ever but from 2nd epi forward, she only gets better and better. Even her over-cheery preposition is a plus for me now. You think she's oblivious and ignorant but she surprises every single time. She's just special! She might become my fav chara even though she was my last~ This epi was good, I did like it though I missed Miyano Mamoru :'( I needed a dose of his perfect voice acting for this role xD I did understand Rui's mindset also, and I do think he's kind of right. People need to find strength in themselves as a principle. I ADORE this kind of idealistic setting like Galax or Dollars in Durarara, where people help each other with a smile on their faces and it gives off a nice feeling (ans looks reaaaaally cool, as well xD). BUT, that won't ever work, much less forever. There will always be problems greater than one's help (like Rui has helped twice now with his powers) and someone more special should do the job. Then again, people do need to feel the loss sometimes. If there's no balance to actually appreciate how good things are, you end up in a world like in Psycho Pass. And Galax as a system is problematic. If you rely on a devide, what happens when you are all alone? You stop relying on heroes and you start relying on a network. It's made of people, all right, but it's directed by someone and that's the easiest way to destroy a society from within. But oh well, either way, Gatchaman pretty much fight aliens as well and that's more like their expertise than just helping around so I'm ok with that. If you can help, why not? Everything has its own disadvantage. |

| Another great episode. Hajime shows us her great intuition yet again. Well with this encounter the show can finally start taking a turn on if Rui's ideal will or if Gatchaman way should stay. Honestly I'm more curious on when we will see more of the Red hair guy causes more problems. |
 |
| SUCH A GREAT EPISODE :) I like the part when Hajime noticed that Rui is not really a girl since she said that he doesn't really need to have a heavy make-up XD She can tell that Rui is a boy :D |
| I still can't shake of this bad feeling about Jou. He's chasing after the last boss on his own, with a gun and I can't forget that death flag from a couple of episodes ago. Guess, I'll have to wait for the next episode, to find out what happens though. Good episode. I really enjoyed the confrontation between Hajime and Rui and yet again, Hajime prove's that she know's a lot more than she's letting on. I can't wait for the OST. |
 LOL Really liked the part in the beginning when Utsutsu was willing to use her own life to save those people. She's starting to grow on me. |

Guess, I'll have to wait for the next episode, to find out what happens though. Same here, I watched those last two episodes with the thought that there was a chance of him dying during them This episode was really interesting to me. I kinda expected the confrontation between the Gatchaman and Rui, but didn't think it would go down like it did. After denying Rui's quest for them to stop being Gatchaman, I wonder what Rui is gonna do about the Gatchaman from here on out. Also I'm amazed at how much Utsu-tsu has developed in these last couple episodes. Now we just need more character development for the other Gatchaman. |
| Hajime is just so unpredictable lol. I've learned to just go with the flow when it comes to her. I used to be annoyed at what she does, but she's shown time and time again that she's not an idiot. She just has a unique way of doing things :P She's not your typical MC and I like that. |
 |
 Gotta love how she didn't even respond to him playing dumb. |

| i like how this episode shows that our air head mc might not be such an air head after all and in fact, she's probably the most clever character of this show. i think her and load make a great combo. |

| Awesome episode!!! |
 |
| Well Hajime officially killed the anime for me... what the fuck was the point of even having fucking Amnesia effect if shes going just going to say fuck the rules and reveal the existence of Gatchaman? Also their catch phrases are really annoying, I don't like how many times Hajime says kawaii and Utsu says "I'm dreamy" in one ep. It's not cute it's frikin annoying. I don't know why Kenji just makes these obnoxious as fuck characters, it was the same in Tsuritama. Whats wrong with normal characters that don't act like they have ADHD or some shit... -_- |

| God I hate Hajime....intensely. Still a good show. |
| I really feel like dancing whenever I hear that Gatchaman soundtrack esp that part where the Galaxters where helping them escape. Awesome OST! And a lot of cute moments too. I even find it cute when Pai Pai was mad at Hajime, hehe. |
| good episode i can understand why Load said they do not need superheroes since people tend to over rely on them and made them lazy to update the world themselves |
Aporie said: Well, i only watched the 2-3 first episode i don't remember well and i just jumped to the sixth, so if i missed some hints please make me reconsider my points. ... You've got to be kidding... Are you just looking for abuse? Go back, watch the episodes that you didn't watch, and then come back and post. Otherwise, don't waste your time and ours. |
| Utsutsu was LOVELY. |
 |
| Utsu-tsu is so kawaii.... I like that's she's developing. She was getting to that annoying emo level. Hajime a genius, but oblivious at the same time. She's TOO kind hearted & that will be her downfall. I'm calling it now that Hajime is in/directly the cause of someones death. |
| Gatchaaaman. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I got pretty annoyed with Hajime this time, but in the end it was all good ;D As much as like Rui's goal, i don't like him for some reason :| Utsutsu~ |
| Ship! |
 |
| the music at the beginning was awesome! i really want to have the ost. i loved that every second was predicted and there were so many people who helped them and everything was perfect timed. really awesome. i also liked that rui wants to turn every human into a hero instead of having a couple of special people. it actually seems to be a good idea. but stop complaining about rui's make up! i need him to keep wearing that pretty female outfit <3 |
Aporie said: Well, i only watched the 2-3 first episode i don't remember well and i just jumped to the sixth, so if i missed some hints please make me reconsider my points. What are you doing?! D: I believe the point Hajime is trying to make is that being a hero isn't only about fighting the bad guys, but also about being a light of hope in dark times, a symbol if you will, and that can't be done if nobody knows they exist. Like she said in episode 5, "if the world goes up in a big, red blaze, the human race will be super worried" (paraphrased). Fear and despair would ensue, and societies break apart when despair reigns. A hero could hold that society together, by being a symbol of hope and a reminder of the good inside all humans (cheesy). It's basically what Harvey Dent represented in The Dark Knight movie. But I agree with you, Hajime isn't the genius everyone thinks she is. She might be smart, but she isn't omniscient. And I also think something bad is gonna happen, and it'll be Hajime's fault. |

17mlloyd said: I think Berg Katze is the same thing as JJ except for he dosen't protect, he destroy's. i just thought of this because he can pull notes out of peoples chest just like JJ and (this might sound stupid) that he wears high heels just like JJ Still not sure I believe that he's the same thing as JJ. An unusual alien to be sure, but he's also a Gatchaman. JJ refers to him on the same level as the other Gatchamen (as birds). Who knows what kind of explanation we'll get about this guy though so will have to wait and see. Regarding Jou I can fully understand him not getting involved with Hajime. Being around that kind of person would be really exhausting. She's the perfect smokescreen anyways. All the attention is brought down on her antics so Pai Pai and OD don't even think of keeping an eye on Jou. Let's him go ahead and try to find the cause of this problem instead of sitting around doing nothing. I'm all for Jou going for it even though I expect it to get him killed. Ignoring this threat and letting him continue getting people killed and arrested for attacks isn't what they should be doing. Otherwise what's the point of being Gatchaman at all? |
| Hajime is so cute... <3 |
