What the hell was the point of Gatchaman Crowds since it had absolutely nothing to do with Gatchaman other than the logo.
Original Gatchaman was truly groundbreaking when it came out in '72 and basically set the standard for team anime and live action shows.
Gatchaman Crowds was just unwatchable.
I was thinking of watching that after Jetman. would it still have a guy similar to Joe or Gai?
I ended up rooting for Katze. He was the only good character.
>introduce mech suits they never use ever except in a few instances in the story
>introduce character who invents mobile app that allows public to do a shit ton of stuff
>have two villains who fuck with it full-scale and try to manipulate it
>they are always overturned by the Crowds
>"everything will be daijoubou" and public fixes everything because people are good and wouldn't use their power for bad at all and if they did you can just turn the screen off, close your eyes, haha
Honestly there is something, either political or social, about this show that just seems naive and I couldn't stomach it at all. I would say it was style over substance the show if the style was actually used but half the time it was just poorly written exposition. It's a shame because I like the art but fuck did this show rub me the wrong way.
If it bothers you that much then just pretend that the first word of its title doesn't exist. Gatchaman Crowds was a perfectly good show, it just had barely anything to do with the original apart from some birds and an initial sentai formula which it took apart in a couple of episodes.
>roots for the personification of internet trolling
sounds about right
Wasn't it supposed to be an ad for the Gatchaman movie that was going to come out that time?
I want to sexually fuck Utsutsu.
It was basically an SJW version of the series. I was entirely appalled. I assume the show appeals to that crowd, but I would honestly prefer to destroy even the memory of it.
I mean, look at that shit. Fuck that.
You know, as a weird side-note, I can't help but wonder what would happen if you unleashed an app that basically turned any user into a Kamen Rider.
The bodies would hit the fucking floor. I'm Chinese, and I think we would turn on each other like savage animals less than an hour later. I don't know about America, but I get the feeling that the dead would pile up in the streets.
Yes. That very movie flopped like a wet blanket while this supposedly cash-in "spinoff" find success warranting second season. The entire thing is ironic.
For some strange reason, this whole concept felt weirdly familiar. Like, I think I saw this on /tg/ or something.
>I mean, look at that shit. Fuck that.
The loli was hot as shit at least.
>The bodies would hit the fucking floor.
Believe in the kindness of others, user. There would be horrible abuse across the globe, but it would all work out in the end.
It teaches you that people will only be Good Samaritans if they are rewarded and there is no such thing as altruism. They'll only act if they get something out of it be it something as stupid as points in a stupid online game.
> Believe in the kindness of others, user. There would be horrible abuse across the globe, but it would all work out in the end.
I honestly cannot believe that. I think we're like minutes away from murdering each other over petty hatreds.
The idea is, you've given everyone a gun. It'd take less than a second for someone to open fire.
In places with more fragile conditions, people would indeed act more irrationally. But I think you're forgetting that most people just want to live a normal life. It's the suppressed, crazy, and "evil" people who would be the culprits.
During times of disaster, people will more often than not try to help within reason. Fiction and exaggerated media reports often show the worse cases, and thus create an illusion that people are only evil and selfish at the core. (Humans are selfish, but that's not a bad thing as long as you don't let it consume you so to speak.)
This show had Maaya Uchida in it, which I might add, her feet are so lickable and amazing.
Seiyuufags are the worst.
I was so disappointed to hear the live action Gatchaman movie flopped. I'm been hoping for that movie since the Smap commercial in the 90s.
Anyone know what made the movie suck so much?
But there are plenty of places where everyone has access to guns that are still functional societies. Even in the US.
The op song was pretty darned cool.
She was just so hot. Those legs + high heels = yum
I believe there was a planned Imagi CGI Gatchaman movie, which got canceled back in 2011.
Gatchaman, the original show, was all about how science, if used for bad things, could fuck up the world.
Crowds was exactly about that, this is what it had to do with Gatchaman.
>I think we're like minutes away from murdering each other over petty hatreds.
Where the fuck do you live?
What if Crowds and the original Gatchaman series switched their X leaders?
You fags need to be purged.
>She
My penis is confused.
Nice try, user, but we all know you love traps. There's nothing confusing about it.
Who was more evil?
>Original Gatchaman was truly groundbreaking when it came out in '72 and basically set the standard for team anime and live action shows.
Oh boy, time to break out my webms
Man, Katze 's feet are just too perfect. I'm sad we didn't get to see them in the actual show. I would have liked if at least he wore some peeptoe shoes or sandals instead of fully cover ones.

>Oh boy, time to break out my webms
Please, please, don't.
Try and stop me nerd!

Last one, I didn't actually make too many. This is just a few silly scenes, overall the original is quite good, the dub even is really on point.
But for what it's worth I also really liked Crowds. Calling it "naive" is a little cynical, really it's just idealistic, it's a lot of progressive ideals but ideals the same. I also don't really agree with its vision of a perfect world but I do like the characters, music, overall plot, and atmosphere a lot. especially Hajime, she is such a fertility goddess
The severe underutilization of OD should be a criminal offence.
Hong Kong.
I cant tell if this is a girl or a boy
Just trust user's pronouns
Crowds was great, kill yourself faggot. Someone with such an abhorrent shit taste doesn't deserve to live.
