Gatchaman Crowds - S01

One day, a massive UFO appears over Japan and crashes into farmland near Nagaoka, upending Tsubasa Misudachi's quiet life. As the Gatchaman-Tachikawa City's legendary protectors-monitor the situation, a harmless alien emerges from the wreckage. Amid the confusion, Tsubasa receives a high-tech device called a NOTE from Gatchaman founder J.J. Robinson, marking his unexpected induction into their ranks. With guidance from veteran hero Hajime Ichinose, Tsubasa starts adapting to his new role as a guardian of justice. At the same time, CROWDS technology, which lets users materialize their thoughts into physical forms, is growing in popularity-even gaining the prime minister's support. But a shadowy group called VAPE has begun causing chaos using rare red CROWDS, turning public opinion against the technology. Now, the Gatchaman, with Tsubasa in tow, must stop VAPE before their destruction spirals out of control.
