Then again, the theory that Berg and Rui are the same couldn't really be possible because Rui was clearly seen trying to help when Berg was posing as that mother to run people over for the evulz - that would not be possible if they are both the same person :|

As for the "can't see him" thing, Berg seems to have the Amnesia Effect perpetually on around him since only the Gatchaman such as Jou can see him or those that he wants to allow them to see such as the people he morphed into.

Still, I wouldn't consider it to be impossible, theres always a possiblity that they're split personalities in 2 literal and physical forms (Rui = Good, Berg Katze = Chaos) Though that would require some major story-spinning since we have that flashback thing from Rui's Dream...

I like the animation in this anime but that scene where Rui was trying to explain that GALAX was created in order for regular people to help each other without compensation - that could have been done so much better. He was just walking around like a zombie the whole time and there was hardly any expression on his face at all. >_< It kinda felt like wasted potential. I really enjoyed the dialogue there but the way they went about animating it was simply lacking.

But overall, a pretty good episode. The dubstep bg music was nice and the timing on that ED was awesome.

Good point i didn't tought about the dream scene. I guess that pretty much invalidate the split personality theory :P

The episode would end at a cliffhanger, but Hajime is pretty dope for keeping a smile on her face when she's injured and bleeding as well. It was nice learning more about Rui and his value, but that conversation with Umeda could've been done better, although I liked the music that was playing during the scene. But this was a pretty good episode, and now Rui has seen Hajime's bird, thing'll start to get interesting now.

I'm not sure in this adaption, but if it's like the old gatchaman, then it would be Sousai X

I like how during that last scene, we actually see some of the blood on Hajime's face flowing down, instead of it just being there since the beginning. (21:10 ~21:12)

Good job, animation guys!

That was an epic episode, really nice to see that hajime really can bring people together. And she did ask a good question; why people aren't as connected as they are on GALAX.
Rui's entrance with the CROWDS was epic, but the last part was awesome, Hajime showing us how epic she is once again >.<

Now that you mention it, that dream actually shows Rui true potential..


Also, I wonder how MESS-chan is doing now. We haven't seen them again.
What is the purpose of MESS? They somehow has the same tendencies with Katze regarding human negative emotions...

I was refering to Rui meeting Berg Katze and getting his Crowd + Note from him, but the 2nd part of the dream does hint of what his powers can actually do to the world, or rather, what Berg Katze can do to the world through the Crowds.....

MESS-chan is probably with OD and Pai-Pai in the Gatchaman HQ lol XD
Well, there are theories that the purpose of the MESS was to provide a platform for the theme of 'communication' considering the attacks stopped after Hajime tamed one of them in episode 2, so we could come back to that point sometime in the future.

Gatchman finally meet the Crowds !!!

I like how much they try to subvert and offer another way of look at the sentai genre. Hajime, Rui, no.26, or just the adults like the policewoman and soldier woman etc are giving some fresh insights.
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.

Collapse in the tunnel, and everyone are trying to safe others life THIS is how modern society have to look like ^_^ But Rui's ideology about word is too idealistic, don't you find that??? Finally he and Hajime have met each other, even despite they don't actually know this ^_^ And what, WHAT CAN"T BE when Rui saw Hajime... I'm starting to hate myself for watching this as airing anime ╥﹏╥ Can't wait for the next episode!!!! Gatchaman Crowds is definitely becoming more intriguing every week (◎_◎;)

Not bad.
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.

It is heaviily implied (or exactly the case) that the Crowds are powers given by Berg Katze, which is why Rui doesn't want to use them often if at all.

Wait Berg Katse reports to someone above him!? Not good...

He was relaying a message from Sousei X (Rui's A.I. assistant). But yeah Sousei X is Berg Katse's leader in the orginal series.


Oh crap I completely forgot that. Good catch. The Hundred are cracking at the seems, which means the CROWDS are going to turn soon. This is getting good.

I was on the fence with the series before, but now I'm on board. And its 100% thanks to....Hajime, smartest person in the whole show.

Great development there at the end. Hajime going in like a boss (what's with her evergrowing/shrinking bust size though?). I wonder what Rui will make of the Gatchamen.

Utsu-tsu and Hajime were extra cute in this episode. (^_^)

Oh damn, Rui and Hajime are about to meet. The Crowds meet the Gatchaman.

It's all becoming clear to me now. I still hope Joe doesn't die. (T_T)

I was really surprised to see n° 26 being a loving father, while being such an extremist on the phone with Rui. No doubt that was intentional though.

Hajimessu is so BA :D There really are heroes in the world, wonder how Rui will react to that. This is still geting better with every episode O.O

That art club-like group looks really fun, like your doing arts and crafts with your whole neighborhood, and they're not doing it just because,,,,, they want to do it.

Who else gasped and 'oh shiiiiiii' when Hajime was seen by public, I did
