Gatchaman Crowds Insight Episode 1: This episode was a big fat pile of nothing. Episode 0 was far better than the actual first episode due to it actually showing some plot, introducing Rui's gatcha form, having some action and showing what happened to Katze.
What happened in this episode?
An alien girl landed who has no real traits other than being eternally happy and optimistic, it introduced a girl who I have no real idea about because her characterization kept flying all over the place and the dialogue was really hard to follow, and then she just became a Gatchaman out of nowhere.
The scene where she became a Gatchaman was utter "wut"
It made no sense. That little boy saw her and said "look, it's Tsubasa!" and started running towards her, and then the press all turned to start shouting for Tsubasa like she was important even though she clearly isn't, and she fulfills some weird criteria for being a gatchman by... telling the press what dicks they are for knocking over a little kid? like that's it?
What happened in that scene? what happened in this episode? it was a mess of a script from start to finish. It was just a bunch of people sat around talking for most of the episode and then suddenly "you're a gatchaman Harry!"
I like the show but its idea of pacing is just shocking.
