Now that the series is finished completely, I think it's time to write a review while the ending is still fresh on my mind. Just a quick note: this is my first time writing a review on MAL and English is not my first language, so excuse my poor mistakes and grammar.
Either way, let's go!
Story - 7
As a few others noticed, the second season took a rather different route than the first - Gatchaman Crowds had more of the "heroes fight the bad guys" kinda thing going on while Gatchaman Crowds Insight had more of a "people debate on whether to do one thing
...
or another and the heroes step in from time to time". While it didn't really ruin the whole show for me, others, who might be expecting more or less the same thing after the first season could be disappointed, at least a little.
Art - 10.
I couldn't give less than 10 on this one. The animation was really nice to look at, the art style was amazing, and the CG NOTE forms were incredible (unlike some other CGs i've seen). Honestly if not for the story, the show would be worth the watch for the art alone.
Sound - 10
A bit unsure on how to rate this one, because to me the music was incredible. The OP is one of the catchiest I've heard in a while - WHITE ASH (the artist who performed the OP in the first season) did a splendid job.
Character - 6
While the characters were enjoyable (both design and personality wise) and quite believable, after watching the first season (which had one of the best character developments in my opinion), this seasons characters were a bit disappointing. There was some development, but it wasn't as big as in the first season.
Enjoyment - 9
As i said, this show could be enjoyed even without getting too deep into the story, thanks to the amazing animation and music. The comedy was still there, action could be found at times - it's a fun series to marathon (even with the rather emotion-wrecking end). Having enjoyed the first season, i was hyped for the new one, and had a blast watching it with it's flaws and whatnot.
Overall - 8
In the end, the show has it's pros and cons. To me it was really emotional ride - the action and the suspense were still there, which made it so much more enjoyable to me. If you're looking for a light anime with some thrill from time to time, I believe that Gatchaman Crowds is just the one.
