[cthuko] Translated "I think I saw something" as "I think I understand". Which kinda makes sense since it looked like Hajime was about to ask him something regarding the MESS but he answered her question with the birds then zapped her away to the MESS's location. I'm not sure how the flying birds answered her question or which translation is correct but that is my theory. |

| i love this series. gorgeous colors and Hajime's personality are what caught me into this. GALAX kinda reminds me of virtual world OZ from Summer Wars.. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Starting to really like this show :D Great Episode! |
| Interesting episode. :) |
| Nice episode, I love Hajime more and more. |
| I just friggin LOVE Hajime <3 |
 |
| I'm starting to love this show more and more. The ending of this episode was confusing... Cant wait for the next one :) |
| JJ's tengu right? lol |
| 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. |
| Hajime only knows how to go at 11 huh? Man she is crazy. |
 |
| LOL at Hajime knocking on O.D & Utsu's door. |
| GALAX is pretty cool, would be nice to have it IRL but i guess it's too good to be true :/ |
Kaioshin_Sama said: Kjeldoran said: Personally, I find Hajime's personality to be incomprehensibly annoying. There's something about her bubbly personality and over-the-top optimism that makes it painful to watch her. If that was the goal, they did a damn good job, but I think her personality wouldn't be so bad an existance if they toned it down a few notches. Although I'd much rather see her suffer through crippling anguish to my amusement and enjoyment, I'll settle and let this particular dog have its day. So far, character dynamics have been disappointing. Hajime and Sugane are terrible foils. As far as I'm concerned, most of the other characters hold the same weight as the paper crowd in a sports video game. The social media theme as a later plot concept seems interesting. Maybe, just maybe, this show will go somewhere unexpected and won't end in mediocrity. Completely agree so far. I don't see how people can possibly see Hajime as a smart character hidden within an apparent airhead. I'm not getting the same vibe I got from say Shoko Sashinami from Valvrave where on the surface she appears to be this happy go lucky airhead, but you can see eventually she's always considering things and trying to be generally good natured and find the best solution that makes the most people satisfied even if she's more than a little out of her league in certain areas. Then again I didn't find Shoko to be anywhere near as over the top as Hajime has been portrayed in these episodes and that's counting episode 5 and the nature of the show she's in herself. By comparison Hajime comes off as insufferable because by essentially forcing herself, her personality and a little bit of her opinions on the viewers from the moment she appears in the most ham-fisted way possible and the show seeming like it's going to go down the road of consistently reaffirming her views and making the entire rest of the cast a foil to her is a bad omen. I REALLY hope it doesn't go down that road as that would turn this show into a complete joke for me for real. I think this show is going to sink or swim based on just how naive a world view it manages to espouse through Hajime. Whatever they are going for potentially in terms of positivism,good naturedness and just empathizing with people being a more effective tool than violence I'm not sure (I should say I by no stretch find these to be bad traits for a person to aspire to)...rather I don't think Hajime in her current portrayal is the right sort of spokesperson for that sort of thing at all. Tiger pulled it off in Tiger and Bunny by being a fully realized and truly world wise character with some noticeable flaws, Shoko pulled it off in Valvrave's first season by ultimately showing that there were some problems that even her resolve couldn't overcome, let's see where they go with Hajime, but I can't help but feel that because of where they seem to be taking her this episode that she comes off as potentially even worse than in the first episode. i agree hajime spoils the show for me.everyone is so shes a genius this and than but to me she just likes to force her personality and opinion on every one else its like she wants everyone to act and think like her.i feel sorry for the main guy at the end of this show i hope he does not lose his identity and dont turn into a little pansy.shit that girl is so annoying.she has to cook over his food tells him how to do his job barges in people room and calls him a fossil because he not on facebook what an ass |

I don't know if anyone noticed, but what the hell is he holding onto? If he's holding onto one of the hand things, they clearly did not draw it well. |
 |
| Wow just with transform, she could know all of her skills name I'm addicted to those ost!! Gachaman!! Ok, so why Utsu-tsu always wearing swimsuits? Well, she's cute anyway :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| Some awesome development! Really loving this main character she's just so awesome! |
 |
| This anime is so strange that I actually kinda like it, I also like the fact that it's a bit funky :D |
  |
| This anime is a bit random to me. But i find the all Galax thing very interesting. |

| Interesting. The story is actually going places with GALAX playing a major part in it. And the Gatcha are starting to show a bit more depth to them, specially Hajime who... Absolutely dominates the screen time. Sometimes I feel like reaching through the screen and strangling her. Sometimes I feel like picking her up and kissing her. But mostly curious about what she'll do next and try to catch on her unorthodox view of life and positive attitude. She's clearly not the airhead that some have described her to be. At least one mistery has been solved. Her school outfit made her look like the most voluptuous protagonist ever. Now we know it was just the uniform. |

| Sugane needs to chill. Hajime, on the other hand, should keep on being herself. (^_^) GALAX is pretty interesting, especially when some person named Rui is behind it. So mysterious lady can copy others. It's either she's the villain or it could be Rui. It seems this anime is heading places. |
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. |
| GATCHA! It a trap! Why is that guy dressed as a girl? Hajime sure is out there. Never seen a main character liked that. Good episode. |
| 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. |
Honoka is my Hero! Click Me! |
| Hajime always brings me smile ^^ |
| 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. |
 |
| Lol more scissors . |
 |
| Goddamnit, WHY!! |
| 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. |

| 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) |
