i feel like this season isn't the best proof that Hajime is challenged though. i mean s1 was its own thing and for a while we didn't know if they'd continue, much less focus the continuation on the harmful potential of CROWDS.

i'm very optimistic about this season, it just seems weird to dismiss a valid complaint about s1 largely based on stuff from 1.5 episodes of an incomplete s2.

Yeah but the stinger at the end of S1 was clear in that public access Crowds had harmful effects

a season-end cliffhanger would probably not compensate for ~12 episodes of pro-Hajime in the eyes of somebody who does take issue with her. s1 watchers may have been looking for more depth on that front and were disappointed, but this season is entirely about opposition so...problem solved?

the whole point of VAPE seemed, to me, that their ideas would affect the Gatchamen/world more than their actions, and that would be the true conflict of the show.

have not seen episode 2 though

aren't they already casting some shadows on her though? she's one of the two people we've seen with a gray bubble and last episode Gel gave it a weird (concerned?) look. i don't think it necessarily means she's getting a rude awakening, but there's definitely something up with her this season.

a beach episode would be good, because Sugane would be even more shy around Jou. also i want to see what OD would wear.

maybe not kid kids, but it seems right on the mark for (pre)teens, especially with political disillusionment being more common in younger generations

You are insane if you think this show or Crowds is for pre-teens.

Insight maybe less so (school here taught civics in middle school, obv can't speak for Japan) but they definitely use social media and can encounter cyber bullying, so i'm sure the ideas in Crowds wouldn't be lost on them

Dude wasn't on board with the Kuu horde, so they forced him to "become one" with them. They're definitely hostile to anybody who isn't a part of the group, e.g. trying to force themselves on Hajime.

"When the scarlet conductor changes his melody, the people will lose their own colors, and bear their fangs in err at the colorless wind."

I guess it means Gel will be persuaded by Tsubasa to not unite everyone in the way he's doing it, but it's too late because everyone's coked up on the Kuus and will attempt to attack Gel because he goes against the atmosphere?

Unless the scarlet conductor refers to Rizumi?


I think Rizumu is the Scarlet Conductor, who's about to turn everybody against Gel, the Colorless Wind. That's why he referenced changing the atmosphere and Hajime ran off to protect Gel.
