I thought I had one saved that didn't have the text on it but can't find it. I've switched phones since then so it's probably on the dead one.


edit: found the CR blog post I originally got it from but I don't think it's on the Gatchaman site anymore.

And somebody on reddit reproduced Hajime's phone background, when I found it I switched to this one because it's super cute : >

Wow there was a lot going on in that episode. It didn't feel slow to me at all because there was a ton of poo poo happening but it was all dialogue -- and layers of dialogue at that, with all the broadcast stuff in the background. O.D. makes a great talking head haha, I hope he has more to do in this season.

So did that establish that everyone can hear him? I wasn't sure about that before but it seemed like the other people there could hear him talking. It made more sense when she transforms because he was in the suit with her and sort of took over the face but when it's just her and her boobs it was less clear to me.

vvv I'm ok with that, it's funnier that way anyhow.

I think he's doing pretty alright for himself without her.

Also Jou and OD still have the best Gatchaman form designs. Hell, I wish I were as stylish as they are in their normal looks.

The note is from Joe

Agree on the designs; O.D.'s suit is my favorite, kinda sucks he can't use it without destroying planets and whatnot.

My assumption for the difference between JJ's and Katze's ability to create NOTEs is because Katze is imitating JJ and isn't actually the same kind of being. Was it not mentioned, at least obliquely, that he was at one time a Gatchaman himself? I don't remember exactly since it's been so long since I watched it.

I think the significance of the gray bubble lies with who she shares that trait with, but I don't think there's enough information yet to say if having one is bad or just different/outside the norm. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more showed up so that we could start getting a picture of what they mean -- is it simply a representation of that person's detachment, showing that they aren't influenced by the group's mood? That's what it feels like to me right now.

Rui's slide into irrelevance has been kind of heartbreaking this season. I wonder if he's going to be able to cling to that idealism til the end or if it will eventually be tempered by reality. I see Jou as kind of a potential future for him (like, the bad, bitter future that he should probably avoid lol) , and like the comment earlier that someone said they work as a set.

You have been spoiled by Hajime.

Hajime definitely doesn't think like the average teenager, that's for sure. Looks like she's getting frustrated with Tsubasa as well. It's kinda fun watching her (Hajime) stumbling against her inability to clearly communicate any of her ideas, especially when she's interacting with Tsubasa.

Everyone's quick to point out that Hajime is bad at communicating what she means, but at least she's confident sounding when she tries and makes something vaguely resembling a point. Rui is loving terrible at communicating this season, even compared to Hajime and is constantly making the most half-hearted arguments to people in favor or Crowds or against people handing off social responsibility. I'm trying to remember if she was this bad last season, but her argument with Tsubasa at the end of the episode was just the most limp fart of a debate possible on her end because it was basically bereft of any actual substance and seemed like Rui was on the verge of just breaking down and admitting defeat any moment.

The other thing I noticed in the last episode was that Tsubasa and Rui both have ideals that are kind of...poorly defined? Tsubasa's is "uniting everyone's heart" and Rui's is "updating the world" but what do either of those even mean? Listening to them, to me it feels like they're just shouting catch phrases at each other instead of having anything concrete to back it up.

Since Gel generated word bubbles off people all the time seems like one person could create multiple Kuus if their bubbles got spewed out more than once.

Yuru-jii getting real about Japan and WWII was both cool and surprising. Usually they just kinda sweep that under the rug in my experience, so for him to just straight up say "we just went along with it and did some regrettable poo poo" was pretty impressive.

Yeah, I generally just watch this show with a surface level appreciation because I don't feel like I have the cultural & historic knowledge to really get most of what it's doing but this seemed pretty awesome even to me.
