06. Originality [Discussion!]

This series does a really good job of teasing you, but we're officially half-way through! What were your thoughts on this week's episode? Do you have any new speculations? A favorite scene? Is Sugane a closeted fashionista? Share your thoughts! 

I'm going to make this one brief and maybe hop back in when other folks share their thoughts... Most of what I thought would happen—Hajime would reveal her identity, the existence of Gatchaman would be revealed to the world, Rui would throw a few choice words her way—happened. I'm not sure what I expect out of this series anymore, it leads you into one thing, then backs away and prolongs it, which I'm somehow enjoying? This series is so charming and quirky that it's hard to be bothered by is weird (although not bad!) pacing. Although I really want to get into the heart of this story, what is going to happen, when are we going to face the actual conflict? Maybe in the coming episode but most of us though that last week, and the week before ha-ha! 

Blah, blah, blah... Sugane has managed to march up as one of my favorite characters, as a whole I just really enjoy him. Hajime and Utsu-tsu's little adventure was very cute; Joe continues to hoist death-flags. I want some more O.D.!

i also liked the sugane & hajime!! it's really funny to watch people reading into his relationship with hajime (both joe and the reporters) while he denies it and tries not to think about it, kind of like how he's still trying not to think about the fact that she's starting to have an influence on him...
