You do get the impression that this show won't age very well, it's written very much for Obama-era post-social media revolution. Which is going to get more irrelevant over time as many of the question the show raises get answered or rendered pointless.

But for now, it appeals to we TED-watching hipsters.
I feel like that's something the writers have to know. You can't really make a show about the current era of social media without it getting outdated eventually. Still, I think this will be interesting to look back on years in the future.

Also the alien girl is the sweetest thing alive I want to hug her.

I was thinking that Crowds' concept of social media could become outdated, not because it is no longer relevant, but because the way we interact with social media can drastically change.

I think Gatchaman Crowds is going to be good, forever. It's not like Lain ever stopped being awesome.
I don't think anyone's arguing that it'll be bad, just that its concepts may be outdated at some point.

It seems Hajime now has hella jiggle physics so maybe that's why they seem bigger? More investigation is required.

I like that the vape guys wear masks when vaping, because that only makes them more conspicuous.

What I learned in episode 2 was that I still want to hug Gel-chan.

I remember O.D. saying he couldn't transform for most of season 1. I forget why.

I am glad Sugane won't stop thinking about drinking with Jou

I am also glade the Gatchaman immediately thought red meant VAPE and did not even consider Gel

Huh, Tsubasa's bird mode(?) is also red. I wonder what significance red has in all of this

man, I somehow forgot how cool the designs were in Crowds. Has this artist worked on anything else in particular?

Butt Ghost
Nov 23, 2013

Huh. I can't really properly judge with a quick glance, but it doesn't seem like he's done anything with the same design styles as the gatchaman forms. Those verge on Kazuma Kaneko territory.

Huh, I had no idea the vocalist of the Crowds OPs was male.

Butt Ghost
Nov 23, 2013

It just occurred to me that Gel doesn't appear in the ED at all. She appears in the OP a few times, and is the center of the group photo at the end of it, but she doesn't show up in the ed, where the Gatchaman are all forming a link as one. There's probably some significance to that.

The fact that she is not a gatchaman probably factors.
No, but she has a "gatcha" form of sorts, and you could argue that she's been played up as an ally up to this point.

I was under the impression that Crowds was aimed at a younger audience, but this season is so political that I'm not sure if kids would really understand it.

I wonder what the deal is with the diamond motif. Katze had it with his tail, and now Gelsadra does with the mark on his face and the cape.

Also I want to hear about Gels' fiscal and immigration policies.
They're both aliens. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Butt Ghost

I meant defeating as moreso "stopping." Like, not rendering incapacitated, just halted in their action.

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.

Katze X Hajime is the best anime couple.

I think Egobossler makes a sentient virus called X or something.
