Gatchaman Crowds

  The first thought that I had was that there were going to remake Gatchaman; and I started searching for the first episode of Gatchaman Crowds. Once I found episode 1 in English sub, I was disappointed that it had new characters and is taking place in a school environment. One of the main character is a ditzy girl that is obsessed with planners and was chosen to be a Gatchaman. 

  

  At school when two students are saying that Gatchaman doesn't exist, she tells them that she is a Gatchaman along with Sugane. Sugane panics and takes Hajime to an empty hallway and tells her that nobody can know about them being Gatchaman since it is a secret that they have to keep. He then takes her to their head quarters and introduce some of the members to her. Once they are done explain the NOTE to her, J.J.(The one that made her a member of Gatchaman) summons them and through the NOTE talks to them about their mission. It's more of a poem like direction. Hajime gets a happy look as she looks at the scissor that J.J is using to cut a paper bird(That is shown after the Gatchaman crew leaves)and blows it so it will fly away. Hajime goes to her first mission with Sugane and it was the first time she transform.

I'm just wondering why the characters have two tone hair.

Character

Hajime Ichinose: It seems she is going to be the typical ditzy girl that has a strange obsession with day planners and gets exited on how she is going to decorate. She goes outside to eat lunch with her new planner and says that she hungry but only eats one bite of food as she stares at the sky. JJ was the one who made her into a Gatchaman when he took the NOTE out of her chest.(Later is mention that it is their soul) 

Sugane Tachibana: The one in charge of training Hajime. He is also the first one that Hajime sees transform.

Joe Hibiki: Introduced to Hajime but doesn't seem interested.

O.D.: The one that explains the NOTE to Hajime and he also can't transform. He also has a cat.

Utsu-tsu: A girl that seems gloomy and doesn't react when Hajime is hugging her.

Paiman: The leader of the group and the one that gives the orders. An alien that looks like a panda and hates being called a panda.

Mess: Aliens that Gatchaman have to "clean up" and save the Earth from

In the end I didn't really like it, but I do like the outfit design for the Gatchaman crew. It kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon and Digimon season three when Sugane and Hajime transform. I might see the rest of the episode.
