Great first episode.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

grey emojis=WYSIWYG, great grandfather is always stoic, Hajime is usually in a good mood and usually shows it. If you have one that changes color, maybe your emotions don't match your face, tears of a clown, poker face, etc. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, though.

That may be it. Though it isn't only colors that change, the shape of the clouds also changes as if sensing the general mood of the conversation: for example when the GGFather turns Tsubasa down, the clouds of most of the people changed to an electrical shape indicating that things could get stormy.

So they are definitely emoticons, but when it comes down to it knowing other people's true emotions is a HORRIBLE thing. White lies are the grease that keeps society running.

Very curious where this is going to take us.

the grey emojis are really something to think about

at first i thought Hajime's is grey because she has B.K in her, but then the grandfather also had a grey one ...

speaking of that I still don't understand why and how is he inside of her?

Aw, Hajime how I missed you! But the careless animators made you too busty! It looks uncomfortable. :(


Otherwise, lots of goodness. I'm curious about the emoji and why Hajime's grey.

That new girl is like Hajime two Hajimes nooo please I'm gonna die I can only handle one they should have given the new girl a different personality. Kinda wanted the new Gatchaman to be a guy. -.- I did notice that Hajime has bigger boobs then before though. I also want to know why Rui crossdresses.

GatchaMAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

It's finally back!!!

New hyper girl with ADHD becomes a Gatchaman

New cute loli alien shows up

All of the characters from last season were at least shown

New redhead villain in the labcoat was shown (he's obviously the villain, plz)

For everyone asking, yes Hajime has 2 notebooks. The brown on is Berg Katze's from when she absorbed him.

Dude holy shit Sugane had 3 fucking babes with him. Easily the hottest 3 girls in this show. They'd probably be totally open to a harem too lol. Too bad they probably wont even have names since they're so unimportant.

Hajime already had some big ass tits in season 1, but it seriously looks like she hit puberty 4 times during the break. Those goliaths are legit bigger than her fuckin head now. No complaints. Big boobs are best boobs.

New OP by White Ash! Soooo goooooood. Just as good as Crowds. The ED is fucking awesome too, oh my god. Contenders for OP/ED of the season.

As everyone else mentioned, I have a feeling that Hajime and the old man having grey emojis is super important to the show. Also going off that, it almost seems like Hajime as acting a bit differently as of now. Last seasons Hajime was a girl who had like a 40 second orgasm over buying a fucking cute notebook. Everything she did seemed so stupid and random that people were left speechless; even if what she was doing actually made sense.

Right now, it almost seems like she was acting forced. She was happy and cheerful, but not as much as always. She was talkative and found stuff cute, but not to the same extent as before. It just seems...off? And she's seemed that way since last season right before she went to meet Katze. And since it was before she absorbed him, I don't think that Katze himself is the cause.

Well anyway. Obviously the best thing about this first episode is MOAR UTSUTSU!!!! BEST FUCKING GIRL UTSUTSU. Cant wait for next week because MOAR UTSUTSU!!!!!

I hope this season also explains why Rui cross dresses. I don't think they said why he does it...he just...does.

Also want to know if Joe ever banged those 2 lonely girls from his office job, lol

This whole episode felt rushed. It was just one major thing after another. I am looking forward to this since I enjoyed the first season so much.

Also wtf happened to Hajime's chest. I know Katze is trapped in her or whatever but damn girl, those boobs.

Kinda slow episode. But I guess we gotta become familiar with 2 new main characters.
The chat bubble emoji really dont need to stay around long. dont wanna look at that all season.

"Smart Phone Elections" really need to happen in real life (as long it is designed with proper security and all). I thought of this awhile ago. One of many outdated things that seriously need to be modernized.

Of course kamihanazawa is in this anime too, the unavoidable living up to her name. The new characters seems very one dimensional and bland. But I give it the benefit of the doubt and assume they'll actually have some better characteristics throughout the progression of this anime.

The ADHD already has me strung out over it's mess. The theme of the story has me interested, but I can't handle all these terribly annoying characters for another season. The only good char is Rui.

This is a show that is far better than it should be, which means that the writers are far better than average.

The, bland one dimensional character is a feature, not a bug. Seems obviously due to 3 very very important differences when she was made a Gatchaman.

Now, of course I have no way of knowing what is going on, this is an original after all, but the one thing that last season taught us is everything has meaning. So those 3 things (and countless others) have meaning as well.

And in case you think otherwise, please note the things that Hajime took notice of.

God, I missed this show, great writers with a director that gets things is great. Speaking of which when is the GnP movie coming out

Tsubasa's a bit similar to Hajime. I'll probably love her at the end of the season.
As for Gel, she's adorable and interesting.

OP and ED are amazing. (^_^) Can't wait to see where the story goes.
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.

New OP and ED is amazing. Missed Hajime and all the other characters. It's been so long!!

Not warming up to Tsubasa though, she feels just like another Hajime, except maybe less cheerful and more unexplained kindness.

It would have been interesting if the new Gatchaman was a guy. Pretty sure they're going to explain something about Hajime's character w/ the grey emoji.

Anyway, can't wait for next ep.

Pretty good start. Can't say I'm a fan of the new character, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to watch this. The new OP is awesome. & damn, the new OST is shaping up quite nicely too.

Also, sugane is as lovely as ever :>>>>>> rui as well.

Good OP & ED as was with the previous season.

As for the rest of the episode it felt kinda boring. Probably didn't help that the prologue had so much action lol.

Nice start.

Weird how the new girl transforms when she's angry (?) disappointing Gatchaman though, it looks so simple, was expecting something... flashier since she has a different way of transforming. OD's Gatchaman is still the best looking one.

The alien girl looks and sounds familiar.

Liking Tsubasa so far, she looks like a promising new character... would've preferred that the old team still be the main focus though. I hope this show gets better~! :)

Literally any episode in Season 1 > this episode. I still firmly believe it should've stopped at Season 1. But if it somehow fleshes out key characters, such as OD, then it might be worth it.

The new OP is awesome, just like the one in the first season (there're also some stylistic callbacks to it)! It has Utsutsu with a duck backpack aww. Did I get it right that Tsubasa's house is a real location?? The OP suggested so!

Utsutsu smiling!

Lol'd at the guy who was filming Pai-Pai from the ground

Tsubasa is such an obvious name for a Gatchaman, with all its themes...but what's the deal with the "blue wings"? Blue NOTE? Anyway, Tsubasa's failed transformation was cute xD As well as her voice acting.

Sugane is popular among girls now, huh?

I wonder if the alien ship being a giant spinner means anything...well, from Tsubasa's point of view (and in the OP) everything was spinning too...

Also, Nakamura keeps reusing seiyuus, and that's good! Now it's Tomokazu Sugita! And the guy playing Yuru-jii was definitely playing another old man earlier...in Tsuritama, I think. And in Gatchaman Crowds S1.

That ED was...hardcore in terms of music xD Also, everyone connecting hands reminded me of Tsuritama OP.
