I thought the second season became a bit too slow midway and I was praying for an action scene. I dig the idea and the approach, hell, I even understand why they might not have many - budget might be an issue, and to keep the CGI decent, it has to be kept to a minimum - but still, you can have the characters themselves just fight something. Considering how awesome it started, I felt a kind of dooped when they almost seemingly forgot about the fact that they're basically superheroes halfway through. I didn't really feel the finale either (again). And the misuse - or underuse - of Utsutsu and OD is rather upsetting, because they're two of the most interesting characters on the show. Considering the number of unexplored characters, the introduction of a new character felt a bit unnecessary.
With that said, I still found it interesting how they made things work out. Hajime's grown so much on me since the show started and she really does feel like a protagonist. She might be one of the best female characters put onscreen in the past 10 years, at least. Sure, she's not perfect - and even seemed to go through some physiological changes; those shots were definitely not by accident haha - but she's better than most of the popular anime chicks I see right now - not that I'm dissing anyone else. I wish I could have gotten some more OD kicking ass (am I allowed ot say that word here lol) in Gatchaman form, but we got more of Rui and that's always a good thing.
All-in-all, I really do love this franchise and I hope they'll consider making a season 3 (I know they're working on a crossover show between the Casshern reboot, this one and a couple of others than haven't been made yet, not very sure how that's gonna work out though, might be different characters yet again), because I haven't had enough. Not to mention, that soundtrack is soooo good. "Gatchamaaaan~" lol.
Anyway, point is, I do understand your immense love for it. It's an amazing show and I really wish it was more popular.
LE: I think Inbound might have been the perfect episode, though, haha.
Your writing is so polite. It made me smile, even when i didn't feel like smiling.
Yes, i would very much like to see more reviews from you.
Underdeveloped characters but epic fights. Average story but decent action.
There are a few things that are unforgivably cringeworthy but i think you are going too hard on the show.
