I actually can't decide if I like " Gatchaman Crowds " yet, having viewed the first episode only just last night, where folks are introduced to this new concept and re-envisioning of the classic " Gatchaman " - now seen thru the eyes of new recruit, " Hajime " (who has a fetish for note books, and is so weird and ditzy, I love her!). Above: Hajime / Below: Opening & Ending title sequences) WHAT-IS: 'The series takes place in the early summer of 2015 and is set in the city of Tachikawa, Japan. A "second metropolis" of Tokyo, Tachikawa is populated by people known as Gatchaman, who are warriors that fight in special reinforced suits that are powered by the manifestation of spiritual powers of living beings called NOTE.

"Hammerhead" by Ōtarō Maijō & Mahiro Maeda (for #JapanAnimatorExpo)
WARNING: GORE AHEAD “ Hammerhead ” is the name of this animation short, as seen in Japan Animator Expo (Ep #25). Done by Ōtarō Maijō & Mahiro Maeda - which depicts the gruesome fate of the unkillable “superhero/supervillain” known as “Hammerhead”, and of his connection to his teenage daughter. *"HAMMER HIM DEAD."
