So yeah since the last edition of Crowds-Sourcing, my computer’s hard drive died a slow painful death so I’m without the ability to provide you with my usual 1080 screenshots of this week’s episode at the moment. I should have it fixed by next week, in which case I may update this week’s installment (EDIT… and done!). In fact I’m actually quite surprised to be writing this right now since I announced earlier that Crowds-Sourcing X would be delayed and…

Welcome back to the first post-license edition of Crowds-Sourcing, where Sentai Filmworks decides that they can still spend some money on that gun they shot themselves in the foot over Flowers of Evil with! Last time… Rui got fucked over by Katze and Gatchaman wasted all their time at a kindergarten! What goofy misadventures will our team of neon striped Super Sentamen Raidas get into this week?! Gatchaman (more precisely Hajime) takes in and heals Rui at their dorm. The…

Wow… last week’s episode was pretty good! Can this week keep up the momentum?!? (spoilers: nope) We begin with everybody but OD in the dumps. Paiman’s reduced to binge drinking, Jou (who has recovered from his masive injuries from last week) hates himself more than normal, and Utsutsu has a sunny disposition (wait what?). Naturally Dr. Hajime has a perscription for this crippling predicament… do a public relations reveal at a nearby preschool! …god I hate this show. So anyway…

Oh boy! Gatchaman Crowds time again! How low can we go this week?!? THIRTY MINUTES LATER… Who is the man who made this episode and what have you done with my usual hipster hack Kenji Nakamura?!?!!? Following his rather lame attempt at getting Gatchaman to drop the whole Gatchaman thing, Rui decides its time to fight fire with fire and eliminate his “benefactor”/torturer Katze using the CROWDS. That goes about as well as the Hindenberg disaster as Berg Katze annihilates…

My laptop’s screen may have shorted out but that isn’t enough to stop CROWDS-SOURCING! Last time: Recon gave us a ton of philosophy pretending to be exposition and then there was a cave-in. This week… more of the same except in reverse. Hajime’s antics are caught on a security camera and now the whole world knows that Gatchaman are not some urban legend. This proves to be an incredible hassle to Veal Paimansean who can’t figure out whether the consistently…

HEY KIDS! Its time once again for Crowds-Sourcing, where Gatchaman Crowds does everything in its power to spit on its own legacy! Last time, the cast spent the entire episode moping around and getting their asses kicked. This week… more moping!…yay? We start at the Gatchaman Dorm where Hajime has finally reached the point where none of this Gatchaman stuff is making sense to her anymore. She wants to actually save people in real life but Paiman’s all “Screw you…

Gatchaman Crowds ends its first four episode chunk with actual plot and a surprisingly large amount of nihilism. After nothing happened last week, a shit-ton happened this time. The Crowds successfully rescue the skytram but since Rui activated their amnesia effect, everybody thinks Galax and emergency personal did it. Meanwhile, Jo gets his ass royally handed to him by Berg Katze who has his own NOTE and the ability to vanish into thin-air. The news that Katze is back in…

Welcome back to Crowds-Sourcing, where Gatchaman Crowds tries everything in its power to rape my childhood harder than George Lucas! Last time, nothing happened… then they caught a MESS cube. Then some girl with pink hair turned out to be Recon from Fairy Dance… wait what? Well surprise, surprise! Hajime’s MESS idea actually worked!…much to the annoyance of Pai-zano who’d rather blow up Rubics Cube monsters instead of getting all touchy feely with them. With the main threat defeated…sorta, and…
