Great writeup, UW! And you braved the yaoi images of the squid, not to mention Zark's blather! Terrific!

I'm surprised none of you noticed the unfortunate coloring of the squid-missiles. Heh. But we do have Ken and Jun holding them!

Will I survive the arrival of Susan the phone-sex voice?

Or when Zark finally flies? Or shall I break when he flaps his cape? 7zark7

Who wants to reconcile the appearance of a giant crayfish with the statement that itâ€™s a squid?

Um... A recent (and little known) alteration in aquatic invertebrate taxonomy has made "squid" a broader term, now encompassing all mollusks and crustaceans?

Or, the BOTP writers thought children would be confused if there were more than one animal referenced in an episode, and therefore, as a squid had already appeared, any other creature that appeared in the episode would be referred to as a "squid," regardless of its appearance?

Or, the squid is wearing armor, and the latest fashion in Spectran mecha armor is for it to resemble the shell of a crawfish?

Okay watching this episode a little while ago got me curious

I could understand "Gatchaman" gaining a reputation amongst the kids, and I could see them knowing about Bird Style, but how do they know about "Bird, Go!"?

Are you talking about the little kid in the episode with the Alphagila?

We all wonder the same thing.

Hm: does the ISO license a line of Gatchaman action figures? Or did they cut a deal with someone (the way the Mounties did with Disney)?

We all asked the same question before! Knowing that it was imperative for their identities to be kept secret I assume that the team never transformed in Bird Style in front of anyone ... perhaps there was an occasion in which someone overheard their call and spread out the news, oops!

A modified version of my review has just made it onto Gatchfanfic. A few more things came to mind while I was looking it over.

And that squid-missile is still an unfortunate hue.
