Gatchaman Crowds insight's story is set in Japan in the early summer of 2015. 180,000 people live in Tachikawa City, the "second metropolis" of the Tokyo area. Among them are "Gatchaman" — warriors who fight in special reinforced suits powered by "NOTE," the manifestation of special spiritual powers in living beings. A council has scouted a group of individuals with latent powers to protect Earth from alien criminals. In recent years, the council has assigned Gatchaman warriors to deal with the mysterious entity known as "MESS."
The anime is the sequel of the Gatchaman Crowds anime, and it premiered in Japan in July 2015. The Gatchaman Crowds anime premiered in Japan in July 2013. Animax Asia aired the first series in December 2014.
My Love Story!! centers on Takeo Gōda, a tall and large high school student whom every girl in school assumes to be tough, but in truth has a gentle heart. He's best friends with Makoto Sunakawa, a handsome boy whom every girl in school loves. While Takeo's used to supporting his best friend, he one day saves Rinko Yamato, and his usually unchanging love life starts to become a lot more active.
Morio Asaka (Chihayafuru, Aoi Bungaku Series' No Longer Human, NANA, Card Captor Sakura) directed the anime at the Studio Madhouse (Parasyte, Hunter x Hunter, Summer Wars, Paprika). Natsuko Takahashi (Brothers Conflict, Nobunaga Concerto, Akatsuki no Yona, Yōkai Watch) was in charge of the series scripts, and Kunihiko Hamada (Chihayafuru, NANA, Monster, Summer Wars) designed the characters.
The anime premiered in April 2015, and is based on the manga of the same name by Kazune Kawahara and Aruko. The manga ended on July 13. A live-action film starring Ryōhei Suzuki and Mei Nagano opened in October 2015.
