The hero we don't deserve. |
GATCHAMAN Crowds Insight may be the smartest stupid anime this season. For the first half of the season I thought it was bonkers, though I didn't hate it---until I realized that the themes it was playing with are vital to our modern world. Watching it may make you a more moral human being.

「inbound / contact point」
A short prologue episode gets us back up to speed, just in time for the first episode to confuse me all to hell again. Too much too fast, Tatsunoko Production!

Collage
From start to finish, Gatchaman Crowds remains an inspiring mess. |  |  |
 |  |  |
Gamification
The oddly placed montage aside, GATCHAMAN Crowds is building up to it's climax in good fashion.

Crowds
Action, action, and more action. Whether or not its a result of reaching the climax in the show, this kind of Gatchaman is fine too.

 |  |  |
Forgery
I want to love Gatchaman unreservedly. I really want to do so, but its episodes like this that just get in the way of all that.

Abjection & Genuine
One moment we're throwing fisticuffs in a good old superhero vs supervillain showdown. The next its a...a PR attack?

 |  |  |
Originality
This shift towards the characters of the show was definitely more of what I wanted to see.

 |  |  |
Kitsch & Collaboration
Even if the show does have its problems, I cant help but love what Gatchaman Crowds keeps trying to do.

Asymmetry & Futurism
I think this is the fastest Ive seen the actions of a superteam get called out on.
