The first season was pretty drat good, but I hope this one doesn't have everyone worship the ground Hajime walks on as much. Also don't really like Rui having a suit (I thought it was way cooler that they were so effective without needing one) but hopefully that goes well enough.

I know nothing about Gatchaman other than this series, so there not being a whole lot of action in the show never really bothered me. I figure the same sort of thing'll happen this season, since from what I remember, the first part of season 1 had more fighting in it too.

When it comes down to it, Tsubasa basically stormed in there because seeing Rui in pain and not doing anything made her feel bad, which is basically the least heroic motivation possible. In the process, she interrupted an attempt to make a counterpoint about Crowds and to redeem someone who could help "update the world"... So she basically just stomped all over Rui's dream for the sake of her own self-image.

I don't know if I can really agree with this since Rui's soul was literally getting stabbed over and over. It's not really being naive or selfish to think someone is going to die from that.

I'm liking that there's no clear "correct" answer in all of this and the show is giving each side its own share of problems. It's why I'm really hoping they aren't just saving Hajime's views as some kind of trump card to make everything alright.

I'm probably one of those people tbh, I thought the way they handled some of the stuff with her last season (how the internet affects real life) was badly handled, and they didn't want you to think very hard about it. Hajime in general is much less focused on here though, and it seems like everyone is making really rash decisions, so I'm hopeful that they don't go that route.

I imagine it'll focus more on Tsubasa anyway, since she's the character who strikes me as the most "misguided" in the sense that she's not entirely sure of what she wants.

I figured the gray emotional thing just meant Haijme isn't emotionally swayed by whatever's going on at the moment, she forms her opinions based on the big picture and doesn't stray from them.

I thought it was too, but then someone pointed out the show aired at like midnight or something.

Enjoyed the last ep quite a bit. I like that Gel was actually like, a ruler who's aware of people's bad intentions, instead of being nothing but collective consciousness. Makes them seem more like a person instead of just a bad idea personified. There is a pretty obvious downside to all the stuff they enacted, but I don't really see low taxes as being the huge downside for why Gel's leadership won't work. Too many factors for me to really guess what's going to happen, but things seem to be ramping up.

Rui's Gatcha is my favorite.

Didn't like the idea of Rui using one before the season came out, but in actual execution it's too awesome to ignore.
