Gatchaman Crowdssu Insight #03 — “I Know, Let’s Ask the Clown in My Tits”

I’m sure he has some good advice to share.
Probably where Rui got the idea to sponatneously fall on his sword to create melodrama too.
Impressions:
Well, it’s sort of going somewhere, finally, but not with any more sense, as if trying to get advice from the psychotic clone living in a teeanger’s bra wasn’t clue enough of that, but it takes a real winner in character writing for Rui’s imbecilic little martyrdom moment which I have absolute faith will end in no martyring at all. At least they’re not pretending like blood doesn’t exist this season like they did for half of the previous one. And none of that goes for the first half either, obviously. That was still pretty much entirely faffing around and my favorite, repeating introductions.
Anywho, eventually, the red Crowds attacked en masse, and by attacked, I mean just showed up and did nothing. Then they overwhelmed an anemic token blue Crowds response, so the oligarchy had to come in and take over. So of course, the response to Rui being invited to have another pow wow with their leader would be to immediately up and hands his magic book over because he “totally has faith in all mankind, dawg.” That act of utter lunacy ends about as well as you’d expect, although they made sure to stab the book so they could saw on the violins and have the injuries be whatever the hell the writers think they should be. Oh, and the alien used the powers of emoticons to transform, and Tsubasa spontaneously got over her yips. One created some platforms to jump on. The other spat out some air at its own teammates. I guess we’re supposed to feel excited about that for some reason. Couldn’t tell you why.

The train wreck that is this show continues. If the writers would actually kill off Rui there might be a chance to do something with the show, but I don’t believe that will happen.
The only hope is that the writers just say fuck-it and give what the audience really wants: a beach episode with Hajime in a micro-bikini.
