----------------------------------------
The NeoHundred aren't listening to Umada. Rui out on town without his cosplay, that's unusual.

Hajime and Katse meet online but she cannot see him (and I'm sure he isn't purposefully hiding himself)

LOL@misuse of amnesia effect by Neo Hundred

Nice to see other Gatchaman members performing well. Even Joe and Pai changed their minds to stand up against the attack. Wonder if OD also takes action in next episode.

Joe is back in action!

Nice episode, but it didn't flow well with all the talking. Hard to get excited when they say "the enemy is coming!" and they talk for some minute or two ^^'

Have no idea how this series will end in only two episodes x_x
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

Go Gatchamannnnnnnnn

Great episode with a lot of action. That fake Rui kinda pisses me off though when he was talking with X..
Holy shit, I love Utsu-tsu's Gatchaman form. Nice.

Joe ftw. Everyone ftw this episode. (except that fake Rui aka Katze)

What an completely awesome episode. Love the tension that was built up over the last few episodes being released in a full on action extravaganza!

Pai's determination going in to defend the kindergarten was something else too.

Also, Joe lighting his cigarette on his own was out of this world badass.

EPIC EPISODE!!

Loved everything in it :D Hajime is BOSS as usual hehehe.

Pai finally finding his courage XD

And Joe's finally back!!! His transformation was epic this time with how he made up his resolve to kick ass. And everyone's reaction to it ^^ BA Joe is BA!

The last scene was Awesome! With all of them standing together :D

Can't wait to see OD's Gatcha from animated. I've seen the picture and it looks BA so it should look even better moving ^^

So much awesome this episode. That team pose at the end was just amazing. Everyone had there moment in the spotlight, which was great to see. I mean, even PaiPai manned up this episode. I really like Utsu-tsu's gatchasuit, the design is just really stylish.

Even more new OST this episode. I'm excited now to see how they rap this up now in two episodes and I have a feeling that we'll be seeing OD's suit quite soon.

Again, that team pose was just perfect.

Rui-Rui in dat LOAD GALAX outfit again~! (wait, how in heck did he managed to get the same damned hawt outfit when all he had was that cute bunny one last episode? o____o) On a more serious side, it looks like he has found a way to get X back from Berg Katze now :D

That aside, GF Umeda lol, you just met with the devil, and your Crowds aren't listening to ya either at that matter - its amuses me how the 29k Crowds are more inclined to kill that Prime Minister guy for an upgraded Crowds without giving a damn about what it would (not) do, kinda like a game imo :/

Another interesting thing to note is, why can't Hajime see Berg Katze normally? Even his GALAX avatar reveals itself as a blank space (though, Hajime chasing Berg around was just cute there <3), I wonder if this means that on the reverse side, she can see Berg Katze when he is transformed?

But anyways OMG dat ending pose! Everyone is looking awesome especially Utsutsu with her hands, which I just realized is kinda based off the manga - God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand with her powers. And it looks like Pai-Pai finally decided to give a "Go fuck yourself" to Berg Katze and fight at last, Jou is also looking pretty bad-ass again, and O.D looks like he is ready to kick some ass soon too > w <

Dammit this waiting of 1 episode per week is just killing me lol, its been a while since anything has made me this excited to wake up as soon as I can to watch it <3 <3

Overall Score - 10/10

(Damn, JJ is really the most anti-climatic character is this show lol, he is still doing nothing in this case after the last episode. I hope he can make it up by giving Rui-Rui some way to fight Katze after shutting down the Crowds)

(Wait, did we just hear Berg Katze actually sound like a guy for a change when he gave that riddle? OMG that voice was so awesome, its almost really terrifying compared to his regular voice > w < )

This shows it's getting better and better. Already one of my favorites from this season. This episode was full of action and incredible scenes. I'm so glad Joe went to help his friends. Utsu-tsu's transformation was quite impressive, really made my day.
Now I can see how amazing Hajime is, same with the evil Berg-Katze. I knew this episode wasn't going to dissapoint me. Awesome and epic episode, looking forward to the next!

All the action and the teamwork was so perfect it made me want to cry.
And those turning point scenes with Joe and Pai-pai were an awesome way to show more of their character development - it makes me so excited. And it looks like Pai-pai got totally attached to those kindergarteners -- can't blame him. They're super adorable.
I don't want this show to end in two weeks. That prospect makes me sad. D:

Oh god this episode was just full of epic moments. For start when Joe got pissed off and light hes cigarette just like that. Yay for Joes comeback. Hajime was fantastic as usual nothing to add here. Pai pai was also cool. When they said that the kindergarden is under attack hes eyes changed color and I knew this time he's gonna kick some ass. This show is awesome. I'm sure the last two episodes are gonna be of this level too.

That was the episode I was waiting for. Finish it off strong! Wonder when OD is going to debut especially after his speech in the HQ this ep. Utsu-tsu power suit is pretty awesome with the life and death hands. Just seeing her transform was the treat of this episode along with the 'Avenger' like assembly.

Kind of an awkward episode, all the characters just kept popping up in random places, and it just made it feel kind of scattered (that's the best way I can describe it at the moment) and the Avengers pose at the felt really forced

When Jou lights his cig with his Gatcha powers DAMN. Finally got over his depression and was like fuck it I'm a super hero.
And I loved that end where everyone assembled and posed and Gatcha-ed before dispersing to fight. So much team spirit I ate that shit up.

Best episode of Gatchaman Crowds by far! The conversation between OD, Pai-Pai and the Prime Minister was very interesting. Katze is such a manipulative psychopath. He even went as far as framing Umeda for being the one behind the whole destruction. I really liked the little flashback with Jou and young Sugane - Jou had saved Sugane's life and Sugane really looks up to him. It was a great feeling to see Jou transform into his Gatchaman form and rock out. xD That team pose at the end definitely reminded me of The Avengers pose. It was so COOL! Everyone in their Gatchaman forms, ready to kick ass. >=D

I feel really excited in this episode, I don't know why. It was an upbeat optimism all the way to the end. Also, I think the model for anti-neo hundred is similar to MESS-chan ?

This series just keeps getting better every episode. Best episode so far from character development to the soundtrack wich was perfect on this one. Important character developmente for almost everyone, specially Pai-Pai and Jou.

Utsutsu-chan suit is def my favorite now with hajime's one. waiting for OD to transform himself next episode (So that we can have a all the gatchaman transformed on the last episode OP :P)

Also seems pretty obvious now that OD will have to leave them either he will have to sacrifice himself to stop katze or even if he surrvives having to leave the earth since it's not his own planet maybe keep helping other planet from alien threats.

Also i felt sorry for Umeda. He was used by Katze like Rui and now his familly is in danger. Expecting to see how will he end.

I'm really excited to see how it's going to end but at the same time i'm really sad only two more weeks and no more gatchaman, still this show was for me the biggest revelation of this season.
