Goddamnit, Hajime, you've already got one shapeshifting alien boyfriend. No need to make out with Taubasa's one as well. I also liked how they indicated that people had thought their decisions through by having the poll results be relatively narrow, although it would have been neat to see Kuu-mobs on both sides just to drive home the underlying problem, and the Suguyama scene at the end seemed particularly important - rejecting mob mentality also means assuming personal responsibility. It'd be cool to see some political crit of this episode, though - this is a complex topic and these are not settled problems, so I bet there's plenty of room for back-and-forth on what Insight's pushing. Perhaps you could wonder if careful, measured reasoning is also a fad that can easily be drifted away from? Japan's institutions do seem to have taken a battering here, even if the Diet's back in business at the end, so there's not much in place other than individual resolve (and a tiny, fractured elite, the Gatchamen) to keep things from going bad again, and we've seen how weak that can be in this season. Maybe that's something for Gatcha S3?

Sugane's drunk screaming was the same reaction I had. This is the best show.

That was good and still leaves plenty of room for a third season. I was getting super worried that they were going to make Hajime waking up ambiguous, but thankfully not.

I loved Hajime's VA's acting during the getting-the-poo poo-beat-out-of-her scene. She really sold it. In general, though it was a bit annoying that so much of the episode was a retreading of that same scene, they added enough new, and changed the perspective enough of the old, to make it really effective. What a good show.

I was a little worried when they started showing it again since it reminded me of the production troubles in the first season, but I'm glad that this time it was being used for something intentional.

I do wonder if not having another elemental being to seriously bounce off this season was to Hajime's disadvantage as a character, though (yeah, Katze was around, but only as her shouty boobs). Throughout Insight, there's been this whole thing with the death of gods, flawed humans learning to cast off the structures of society one by one (a vertical government, mob rule, and so on) and stand as fully-functional individuals who can think and act for themselves. Hajime, our resident Twitter-Buddha, seems to be the only god left unchallenged, the only safety-blanket the team has left. In the first season, she had Katze's perfect evil to balance out her perfect good, but she stood out a lot harder in this season, where everyone else had doubts, made mistakes, and changed their minds (even Rizumu). I feel the biggest triumph of the show would be the Gatchamen finally surpassing their last god by disagreeing with her and being right, just like how she rejected JJ in Season One - maybe that's for S3? As it is, the situation feels slightly unbalanced - it's harder to justify thinking for yourself when one character's always right. And yeah, her cutesy tone and mannerisms getting burned away during the fight was really striking. Good work, that VA.

They kind of tried to play it like she didn't know what to do earlier in the season, but I never really bought it. I suppose she took her time to think about it, which fits in well with the message of the final episode, but it always kind of seemed like the writers going, "See? See? She doesn't always know the right thing to do!" I'd like them to touch on this in a season 3 as well.

More to the point, the whole message of this season was 'take time to think and don't get caught up in a knee-jerk frenzy', so her waiting and reasoning things out was exactly what she was supposed to do.

As someone who thought Hajime was bordering on flawless character territory during S1, I liked her a lot more this season where she had to take this seriously risky gambit in order to get her message across. Honestly it is a bit eh that no one in the team could figure out a better way for Hajime to communicate effectively with the rest of Japan but it led to some really good scenes so I'm okay with it. Hajime is the hero we need.

I'm glad Hajime is okay. I am also glad Jou and O.D. survived their fights with Katze in S1, but I'm not sure how I feel about everyone not dying whenever they're teased to be dying. Regardless, this is a good show with good music.

What I don't understand is - they asked all the people to stew on the problem for an entire month and come to a conclusion they are as sure of, as deeply and as rationally as they can possibly get themselves is correct, and the 47% or whatever who got outvoted just take the results quietly and keep walking? No one felt that strongly that Gelulululu should go after all? Is this one of those "there's like a few hundred of them but X is suppressing them" things?

I guess it helps that now that everything's settled down, it doesn't make much of a material difference which way the vote goes. There's no "think of the children!!" factor to get people riled up, and revenge might not be as big a motivator when the target looks like a little girl. Great season. Only thing I disliked was Rizumu being utterly useless
