Gatchaman Crowds (ガッチャマンクラウズ Gatchaman Kurauzu?) is a 2013 anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Production and directed by Kenji Nakamura. The first season aired between July 12, 2013 and September 27, 2013, and the second season, titled Gatchaman Crowds insight, started with a prologue episode streamed on Hulu on June 20, 2015 before first airing on July 4, 2015 and finishing on September 26, 2015.
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 protected by the Gatchaman, warriors who fight in special reinforced suits powered by the manifestation of their spiritual powers called NOTE. Following the introduction of their newest member, the energetic and cheerful Hajime Ichinose, the Gatchaman must deal with Berg Katze, an enigmatic alien creature bent on destroying Earth just like it did with several other planets in the past.
One year after Berg Katze is stopped, the CROWDS system developed by Rui Ninomiya, a computer specialist who also becomes part of the Gatchaman, has spread among the Japanese society, shortening the gap between the population and the government. However, this new era of peace is threatened by the mysterious organization "VAPE," calling the Gatchaman to action once more, including a new member, the impulsive Tsubasa Misudachi, who becomes Hajime's new partner.
The anime is the fifth Japanese-produced animation project and a reboot on the original 1972 anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, and is directed by Kenji Nakamura. The series aired on NTV between July 12, 2013 and September 27, 2013 and was simulcast by Crunchyroll. A second season, titled Gatchaman Crowds insight, started airing on July 6, 2015.
The first season has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks and is streaming on The Anime Network. However, this license does not include "Embrace," the home video director's cut of episode 12.
