Rita Acosta, the Producer for Eagle Riders, was at the first GatchaCon in 1997 when the episodes of Eagle Riders that covered the transition between Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter were shown in one of the anime rooms, the first time those episodes were shown publicly in the U.S.. While Jason and I had seen the episodes beforehand, we kept mum about his name so the rest of our group could "experience" it unaware of what was coming. Horrified is probably the best way to describe the reaction. Afterwards, we did ask Rita, "Why Happy Boy?" She said that it was because of his mask with the big smiley face on it. No, we did not kill her, but that is one reason why the series got the nickname "Evil Writers."

And somewhere there's a photo of the GatchaCon gang talking with Rita Acosta after that screening. Rita is quite literally backed into a corner, surrounded by fans in black T-shirts blazoned with the birds-head logo. No, it doesn't look like she's about to be mugged at all!  Since everyone but Rita has their backs to the camera, you can't see their expressions as she explains the reasoning behind some of the things they did:
