| I loved it!! I'm surprised to hear so many people find Hajime or the other characters annoying/unlikeable. I think they're a ton of fun. Its silly and colorful and what I expect from a Nakamura Kenji show! Might be in my top 3 favorites of the season so far. :> :> :> |

I'd label Hajime plenty genki. |
| Fabulous as fuck. I adored the shit out of this episode. Very fun. Hajime is fantastically fantastic. Can't wait for next episode |
 |
| Hajime is so obnoxious, she's way too energetic and annoying if you ask me, I wish she was just a little calmer... sigh. I'm a little interested in Joe though. Despite her, I kinda enjoyed the first episode and the story seems interesting so I'll stick around for at least a few episodes. The design of the Gatchaman suits are very... flashy though not in a bad way. I hope the anime will turn out to be interesting :) |
| I was not expecting this. The music, the art, the everything was great about this episode! Also Hajime is amazing 10/10 |
| "Now if you'll excuse me I must get back to my Madoka anime. Pink lesbian saved time lesbian and now they're about to fight Walmart" |
| Haijime is annoying lol, but that Utsutu chick looks a lot like Saya from Saya no Uta. She is my favorite. Panda is cool too. 7/10 |

I would definitely say she was genki too. But I really find her charmingly fun. I mean, she's obsessed about planners of all things. That's just great and hilarious to me. Its sad people will be missing out on this great show cause they don't like her. Too many people only want SRS and suffering in their anime I guess? Haha. |
| im in love~ |
I love it |
| Hajime is not genki, she is missing screws, lots and lots of screws. She also sounds like a very satisfied cat (which is awesome) and is very smart. There will be plenty of seriousness ahead if the OP is to be believed (there is a Spider Lily in it). For now I just wish that some of the animation was more consistent, other than that I liked this episode a lot. |
| wooow--___-- dun think it was this fun at first. anyway, loved it very much, i thought summer was kinda boring cause not much anime to see,then again i was wrong. lol |
| This was much better than expected. The animation was great. |
 |
| I can and can't see why Hajime is so disliked. At first I thought she was annoying because of how loud and sort of stupid she was, but then the, "Can I keep this? Heeeyy, I'm gonna keep it!" totally won me over. It's pretty refreshing not having the same bland MC's that get dragged into everything against their will. Probably one of my favorite protagonists of summer so far. Anyway, the other characters seem really interesting, the music is kickass (Gatchamaaaaaaan!), the animation is amazing and I can tell it's gonna be a really fun series. Too bad it's only getting 12 episodes... |
| The battle animation was pretty dissappointing, I was expecting better but overall an Ok episode. lol it's hilarious that Hajime just goes along with everything Damn, I love that transformation OST. 3.5/5 |

| not bad anime i will watch the rest |
Mistline said: Utsu-tsu reminded me of Lum from Urusei Yatsura:I really don't know what to think of this one. It certainly looks like a show to not take seriously but it's interesting at the same time. I didn't care for the opening but the ending song is nice. I found Hajime quite obnoxious and Utsu-tsu reminded me of Nanami a lot of times. I'll keep watching because I don't like leaving things unfinished but I already don't have any expectations for this Anime. |

| GATCHAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! GATCHAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy fuck. Sure the animation was awesome but man... that was weird. I already received some strong trauma from watching Zetman so... I'll see how it goes but I will probably drop it. P.S Badass OP song!! |
| Really liked the first episode. One of the first times I thought CG looked good and didn't think it would be better off without it. The art style is cool, the characters seem great. The music! I was expecting Hajime to be a super annoying denki character, she wasn't. Unlike a lot of characters like that, she's well written, isn't completely clueless(she has a denki attitude, but is clearly not clueless, more just doesn't give a fuck), and she's funny. |
| Dat OST, man. IT ROCKS! |

Exactly, especially that moment where the panda goes: "I'm the leader, don't mention pandas, don't use sketchbook for personal reasons, respect me!" and she response by scribbling panda jokes, just to annoy him. |
| Hajime is is freaking awesome and cute. And her voice fits perfectly. OP and ED are great too plus interesting characters. But I still need some time to get use to the character design and animation. Hope they will make it better next time. GATCHA!!!! |

I'm very curious about her backstory and how she will act in situations that force her to get serious(if those ever arise, I'm guessing they will). |
| I can't say i didn't like it, The art style is just new to me. |

Oh I'm almost certain there will be, Spider Lily is symbol of death and Utsu-tsu is holding it in the OP at around 9:06, I wonder if this will be another case of "break the cutie". There is also a very serious undertone going on in this episode in the contrast of Hajime's enthusiasm, especially with the older cast. |
kuuurt said: Disappointed. Probably going to drop this next episode if it doesn't get better. 2/5 I know exactly how you feel. |
| "Time Waits For No Man" |
| I LOVE THIS ANIME!!! |
 |
| Ahh. My eyes. The animation is so damn colorful :D |
 |
| ...What did I just watch? |
 |
| Man i love Hajime she so cheerful and at the same time doesn't seem like an idiot lol shes just off in her own world not giving any fucks also love the way she talks would you call that a dialect? because i've seen characters talk that way but only for a few words unlike her lol. If it wasn't for her i would had turned way from this once i knew it was kinda just superhero stuff,on the other hand the music, visuals are nice look all dat NEON!. |

| very very strange anime but not bad ^^ |
| I'm sorry guys, but the main heroine is annoying as fuck!! 6/10. I still like the plot so far, so I'll keep watching. |

| I find Hajime really annoying, but somehow I still love her so much ^^ |
| I feel a little bit of love about this with just the first series. I am definitely interested in seeing more of this! The style, the assortment of characters, a taste of something more by the end. Yessss. |
 |
| I felt asleep.. somewhere near the end.. #yolo It's decent I guess... |
 |
| I fucking love this... Hajime is perfect for this, and a very refreshing MC. Better than some tentative inferiority complex hesitant to get involved. She just gets right on board and I love it. JJ gives me Girahim vibes..well, appearance wise lol |

| Well, I honestly don't really know what to say about this episode. It was trippy, weird, made no sense, and very confusing. I have never seen a Gatchaman series in my life, nor have I seen anything done by these animators. And I feel that that's unfortunate since I feel very lost with this series. They say you're supposed to be able to see this without having watched any other Gatchaman series. However, I just feel as if I was dumped into this and have to play serious catch up. The main characters are all weird as all heck, the colors and patterns are close to giving me a headache and the plot seems extremely shallow. It really seems as if this is the acid-trip version of Power Rangers, with the same villain-per-week plotline, with some sort of overall villain that is sending them. It was an okay pilot, but I feel that the plot is going to get really tedious and boring as the show goes on. I will give it a few more episodes, but I'm not seeing much here. I give this episode a 5/10. |
| Oh man Gatchaman Crowds is a lot of fun to watch. Sure it's very cheesy and it's pretty much like Power Rangers but it's really entertaining. Hajime is such a genki (energetic) character. She's pretty annoying at the moment but I'm still fine with her. I'm quite surprised that Maaya Uchida is voicing her. She even sings the ED which is beautiful. :) OP is pretty good too, very stylish. The CG in this anime fits so well. I really liked those fight scenes and their Gatchaman forms look dope. Oh my god, I absolutely love the OST. Taku Iwasaki you genius! It's so catchy and funky. Gatchamaaaaaannnnnnn!! :D 5/5 |
 |
| AaahhhhahahahaHAH! That was pure AWESOMENESS! Oh yeah... I'm in! |
 |
 Did she just poke JJ in the balls? |
