I didn't understand what they tried to do there. If all the chaos was caused by technology, isn't destroying it the best to deal with it? So why did they all give more smartphone to the people? Why didn't they deactivate the nearby internet towers? I guess that this way would work after all they'd only need to terminate the remaining CROWDS instead of creating new ones which happened in the end.

Also, I only watched the second half.


The Crowds can be used for good as well. So it's up to Hajime & the others to convince the citizens to use the power for good, which would break Katze's game.

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.

A couple of episodes ago Hajime asked Sugane what he would feel if she died. That question really got stuck on my mind. With the first half of the show being centered on how thankful each member of the G-team is to Hajime, it's strangely sending strong signals and indications that something is bound to happen to her.

The first half was such a waste. Thinking that this only has 12 episodes, they could have used it much more better. Still, can't wait for the final ep.

As much as I hated the half episode recap, the 2nd half was good and just as it looked like it was going good, Katze turned it up on their heads again. Now how will Hajime get out of this.....

oh wait, duh its so simple. Turn the phones off.

Seems the series put a lot of emphasis of the positively infectious effect Hajime has on everyone, but my question is: Does it really need half an episode for that? Would it mean not sufficient space for the main story?

Glad to see the prime minster in action mode. In a way he is like a real politician - having good intention but staying in politics dealing with fellow politicians and bureaucrats that he just sounded out of touch, lost or cynical. A crisis could jerk him into coming back to himself and look human again. Too bad his motivated action got hijacked by Katze...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

It's recaps of their characters developments.. Well, for me.. So it's not a waste
They even explain their own reasons for their own attitudes
The only thing that minimum in this ep is the budget xD

Damn Katze Hijacked the stream posing as the PM and is telling everyone to use CROWDS.

Next ep is the finale! It's going down! And we will finally see OD transform.

OD, Utsu-tsu, Paiman, Joe, and Sugane told how Hajime changed them. Oh my feelings.

Yay, X came back! (^_^) They're now using GALAX to save everyone.

The Prime Minister or Suga-yan was totally useless at first. But then he got the courage and became badass enough in order to try and save the city.
But since Berg-Katze is so evil and smart, it managed to copy the Prime Minister and made a whole lot of people use Crowds.
I don't how the Gatchaman can stop it. Well, there's always OD.
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.

Probably the only recap in my anime history that I didn't mind(or the second at most).

The ending was twisted enough for my expectations of Katze. For a moment I thought he'd go down without playing dirty.

The first half was just flashback and everyone's thoughts on Hajime, but after that the plot really kicked into gear. The prime minister took some serious levels in badass, coolness and popularity,althiough it seems to be in vain in the end. The last episode would have to be absolutely horrible now for this show to receive anything less than a 9/10. I'd love to rant a bit, but rodac pretty much said everything I wanted to say :p
rodac said:
What I love about this show is the element of deconstruction it brings to the whole super hero theme. There has always been the conflict between Galex (we don't need no stinking super heroes we can do it ourselves) and the Gatchaman (we will stay in our fortress of solitude and only emerge to save the masses who can never appreciate or understand us). With the release of the powers to all Galex users, the Gatchaman have to work together with the positive Galex users to resolve the problem. There is also that traditional theme of the Japanese people buckling down and coming together to resolve the problem weighed against modern distrust and disillusionment with traditional institutions.

But mostly I just want to yell Go Bird! and sing along to the theme...Gatchamannnn...

I hope the first half of the episode wasn't a red flag for Hajime. I don't want her to die! At any rate, it was nice hearing what the other characters think of Hajime.

The second half was great. The Prime Minister went from lame to awesome in the matter of minutes :D

The first half felt only a little bit unnecessary, as I think they showed everyone's feelings well enough without needing half an episode to spell it all out. It felt kind of like a recap of sorts in that regard, though since it was narrated by every character I didn't mind.

The second half was really exciting though! And the prime minister having a change of heart was pretty cool to see. I get some really bad vibes, the feeling that not everything might end well... but no matter how it ends, it was one thrilling ride. I can't imagine how they can possibly screw things up now, so I think it's safe to say that this show is among my new favorites.

I like how the OP gradually changes alongside with "costume" reveals (in this case Utsutsu and Pai-Pai). Also how Hajime's name is used in wordplay (throughout the series, not just in this episode)

That bas-relief on a wall looked like a reference to the ED, with all those yellow and orange leaves. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Katze has 2 NOTEs? One of them is Rui's I guess.

Hajime and Utsutsu performed a double INAZUMA KICK! xD

The notebook Hajime gave to the Prime Ministrer was briefly shown in ep. 1

Utsutsu's clones don't have the life-saving and life-draining power, it seems - they lack those huge hands on the head.

Sugayama's speech..."ore wa ore da", he said, and I almost continued with a line from TTGL xD When did he install GALAX though? Maybe Gatchaman helped him with that.

There was a cameo of a glasses guy from ep.1...now that I think about it, he looks like Kenji Nakamura and might be a self-insert, like in Kuuchuu Buranko!

The second half of the episode was good, but I didn't expect what's basically a recap in the first half. I guess we'll be compensated by the director's cut version of ep.12 with additional footage.

LMAO What is it with people from 2013 and their overuse of the phrase "death flag"? Every episode they're predicting someone's gonna die and it hasnt happened yet. Hajime will be fine.
