| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was a colorful and somewhat brutal episode imo. Quite a bit of action stuff going on and I think the show was trying to sent it off with a blast. By now, the show has reached its climax against the Kuu-sama and other conflicts. As for the final episode, it had an alright ending I suppose. Fireworks and all without a big mess. Satisfying imo. |
 |
| Almost thought they'd really lost Hajime near the end, lol. Ending was okay, but it did its job wrapping the season up. I didn't really see the point in keeping those Kuu-sama monsters around, though. Overall, this sequel was enjoyable to watch. 7/10 |
 |
| Bad season compared to the fist one! 5/10 |
| Seriously loved the BGM that was playing during the replay of the battle. And Miyano Mamoru acting his heart out as Katse, he was perfect. Other than that, 6/10 stays. Not the worst show of the season (nothing can beat Chaos Dragon in this category) but def not the best; also loses to season 1 hands down. Edit: oh, that BGM is called Conceited Fool, and it's included in the OST CD. And while I'm at it, OST is a good one. |

| it' was good overall, 7.8/10 yes, almost of all humanity is trash and good for nothing. |
 |
| While I did enjoy this season it didn't leave as much impact as the first season did to me. I doubt that there will be a third season. It'll be more likely that this'll have an ova though. Not enough Rui/10 |

| so they voted for him to stay |
 |
| I'm gonna sit back, think, and give it some time before I rate this show. I love how consistent they were with the themes and topics, really driving home how dangerous the atmosphere can be and stressing the importance of thinking about your decisions. The OST was just as cool, techno, and hype as always. Taku Iwasaki does good work. "in exchange for my life" was my favorite track. Hajime's perceptive of being attacked was quite brutal, much more than expected. It really showed how serious the situation was and how dedicated Hajime is to the cause.  |
| that was a close vote, good for Gel-chan that he will stay on earth overall a nice little sequel, ye the story and plot twists seems childish but the concepts of the story are good like social mood (the atmosphere) and stepping back from the crowds to think for yourself and not be part of the bandwagon effect and lol is this spirit girl the personification of Utsutsu's power, i never remember seeing that on season 1  |
| GREATNESS! 10/10 Near Perfection! |

| Katze: "I havent had kissy time in awhile. Itadakimasu!" lol'd another 9/10 :) |
~my list
| Honestly speaking, I wasn't a fan of the 1st season of Gatchaman Crowds, but this season must have done something right, because I thought it was great. Really thought-provoking stuff. And I loved the biting social commentary at times. Tempted to go back and rewatch the 1st season to see if my opinion will change on that one. I remember there being some production issues at the end as well. Thankfully, it seems there were no such issues this time aroud with the 2nd season. Good for Kenji Nakamura. |
| Honestly, not any better or worse than the first season. It has its fair share of stupidity. Though one thing for sure, this season's ending is better than the last season's ending |
| Hajime's 'defeat' was so hard to watch, never seen that kind of expression from her which made it feel very real and heart wrenching. Best display of heroism this year, it's amazing that her character became even more well defined. Overall I'm very impressed with how the themes of the first season were expounded and allowed to evolve naturally to the setting. Very satisfying ending, even if it is somewhat open. edl01 said: This.One of the most outright pessimistic shows I've ever seen. I mean geez does Gatchaman Crowds Insight really think the worst of humanity. I mean I kind of agree with what they're saying but they REALLY don't hold their punches in a lot of these episodes. I wasn't sure if a sequel to the first season could be done well after how closed the ending of the first season seemed, but Insight managed to both be a fantastic sequel and improve the first season by expanding on the themes of the series and giving a new perspective on them. Considering the MAL score I don't know how many people will agree with me, but I feel Insight is a serious Anime of the Year contender. It's one of the best written and most topical anime in the past decade. Free thought and not being tied down by the atmosphere of rating everything with an arbitrary score/10 |
 |
| I thought that killed Katze for a bit there. |

VanishingKira said: Tsubasa and Gel-chan ruined this season for me 4/10. +1 I hate Tsubasa to the point that I find her voice very irritating to listen. A lot worse than last season, which I gave a 9/10. Overall 6/10. |
| Although the beginning was annoying it started getting pretty entertaining once the whole atmosphere thing started rolling. Last episode was pretty bad though since 2/3 of it was just retelling what we already knew. |
 |
| It was alright. I found the series as a whole to be decent. I could watch a 3rd season but I'm not really sure where they would go with it. If they did decide to run a 3rd season I'd hope to see more pink notebook users seeing as how they left it open whether or not Katze had given others his power or not. Or if more users had gone down the same path he did, seeing as how he was originally a Gatchaman. I feel that it's unlikely we'll see one though, and even if we do it won't be for good period of time. |
| the last episode could have been better, but it was still okay. overall 8/10, it was another fun season. |
 |
| Ahh Hajime your the best!! As expected of the ultimate hero! If they lost Hajime in the end I woulda hated given this a 5/10 |
| I don't really see why people are saying the anime is pessimistic, to me it leaned more towards how diverse people can be and in some ways was very realistic. Surely you don't think EVERYONE would have been happy about the alien staying simply because of that display of how bad the atmosphere got, just look at world news nowadays. At least they got the majority to decide to let him stay. |
| Jaywalker. |
| It wasn't as good as the first season but overall it was still very much enjoyable. Hopefully in a third season they'll put more emphasis on the entire team though, this was too much the Tsubasa show. |
| Ara ara. |
| This final episode was great. The writing for this show is so good, and really deep. It's a shame it doesn't get the hype that shows with shit writing get (Charlotte), otherwise people would probably be much more into this show. Definitely a lack of action this season, but they really hit deep with the truths in compensation. The writers pulled no punches in showing how fucked up we are as a society. Groupthink, segregation of others, inability to think for ones self, the influence of an atmosphere...really showed the world how we're just pieces of shit. You know humanity is in a bad state in terms of mentality, when Hajime says "I basically need to sacrifice myself just to get people to stop acting like idiots". She is legit batman. The hero the city needed, but not the hero they deserved. Katze did a good job this episode too. Liked how he was totally on board with the plan and was willing to take that beating. I liked the scene with Yuruji this episode too. Tsubasa gave a whole speech about thinking for yourself and deciding to change as a person, which led to Yuruji finally accepting change as well. The shogi board seems like it was a match he started with his brother who passed, and Yuruji, not wanting to move on, always stared at the board, never making his move, because he was one move away from beating his brother. Moving that piece would mean accepting that he's gone and starting to change. The placing of the piece along with him picking up the phone to vote was excellent in my opinion. Some of the Kuus were still around, which makes sense. There are probably a few people who hadn't changed their opinions drastically enough to make the kuus disappear. At the same time, the collective atmosphere of the city is diverse now; so with no single solid thought to act upon, the kuus are basically harmless. And as seen with the CROWDS, still very fragile. They're probably a temporary existence now. Kind of disappointed that Ginger Hitler sidelined himself. He hyped himself up like he was going to take drastic action, then just stood by and watched. He was satisfied with the results and walked off into the sunset. I feel he could've been more important. Kind of sad we didn't get OD transforming at all this season. Obliterating kuus with this powers. Oh well. SEASON 3 PLEASE! vodall said: Of course Hajime miraculously survived all of that. Fucking ridiculous. Because having her soul shredded, and being beaten to the point where she was in a coma for over a month, and only survived because of the constant life force being poured into her by Utsutsu wasn't enough for you? |
Stark700 said: Satisfying imo. This is a really best episode i have ever seen from all gatchaman series. Hajime is amazing. And so we can consider Katze for gatchaman member ? Well , Katze and Hajime really loke like amazing heroes in this episode. Really Love it. 9/10  This is my first time seeing utsusu with that kind of face. Cute tho....:D Jonesy974 said: SEASON 3 PLEASE! mwsmws22 said: This is horribly brutal that i can't even stand for watching it. |

| Poor Hajime. Tsubasa and Gel-chan ruined this season and was boring. Season 3 Please!. |
| The last episode was kinda weak imo but it did manage to wrap up the story and themes at least. I didn't like the first season too much but I dug this one, it surpassed it in every way. |
| I would have voted for Gel to p*ss the f*ck off. Ah well. Glad Haj & Katze came back in one piece though. If they be gone, Gatchaman would be done for. It's good that the possibility of a season 3 is open. |

| Better than first season imo. I feel like most people that hate on this season are people that didn't come here to watch plot but rather meaningless action. |
 |
| This season was...ok. There are things I liked about it, but also things I don't. The plot itself, Tsubasa, Gelsadra (although I find him/her less annoying than Tsubasa), and some other minor stuffs. Though I liked the few actions scenes I can remember (the scene in this episode, despite being the same in the last one, was definitely more enjoyable watching Hajime's reaction). The ost was as good as in season 1. Utsutsu was kawaii as fuck in this episode, I mean...just look at her :3  6/10. Would watch S3 because why not. |

Jonesy974 said: Kind of sad we didn't get OD transforming at all this season. Obliterating kuus with this powers. Oh well. It would be fun to watch him transform, but he would be risking too much for not much benefit. Exploding Kuus indefinitely wasn't the right way to win this battle, after all. |

Kensai-Serazu said: same case for me Tsubasa was the worst part of this show up into the very end,was rough seeing Hajime and Katze take such a beating but still those two are easily the best part of this season for me.Tsubasa and Gel-chan ruined this season and was boring. compared to the first season it would be like a 5 or a 6 but i'm gonna give a 7/10 |
 |
| Gel-chan stays on Earth YAY!!!!! |
| Who else cried in the first half?? But then Gel-chan staying on earth and the post ed scene made me smile. (Gel-chan and Yuriji tho <33) Everyone is great and what was the last frame? A promise of a new season perhaps?? (i really really wish.) |
 |
| While it was slow at certain parts, lacking in action and this last ep hasn't been much more than a recap, it was a great series and at least for me more enjoyable than the first season |
| Overall solid season. 8/10. |
| Just like last time I want another season this anime is amazing |
| Perfect pacing, a meaningful story, few, but great action scenes, Hajime greatness... I couldn't ask for more. Fucking great season! |
 |
| Well the ending was pretty solid if you ask me, however the various episodes in the middle of this season sure were a bit of a letdown for me as they were a bit strange for it being "Gatchaman" however the pacing was still pretty superb in both character and story development so all in all a very good season season if you ask me! |
