no forgiveness necessary, rachel, you have probably stated exactly what the rest of us are thinking too.
I feel I should be more excited about this than I am, it's been something I've been wishing for for a long, long time, but when I saw some of the redesigns of Gatch, (the live action movie, and crowds for example) and other old shows that have been updated for modern audiences, then I can't help but fear they will do the same with BotP, and the show will lose much of the magic that kept me hooked for all that time.
That is, of course, if it eventually is remade and released at all, I have my doubts.

Rachel, you've come closer to expressing some of my feelings than I have. One of the things I'm fearing is that they'll give the team supernatural powers to explain their abilities. That's not part of the team, and it's become extremely clichéd. I'm also afraid that, because the producers may be too focused on targeting a particular audience, the writing quality will be low-quality.
But I'm also hopeful that this reboot will be like Battlestar Galactica *, where the newer series had a richer character development and story line. And while, statistically, that isn't likely, the optimist in me isn't willing to give up yet.
* Yeah, I know that isn't anime, but it's continually held up as proof that it is possible to have a good retooling.

Yes, KT. I agree with you.
Frankly speaking, seeing Gatchaman Movie or Crowds I was really angry at Tatsunoko staffs.
I just can't understand why they underestimate their legacy showing lack of respect to their heroes.
Gatchaman has lots of attractive characters and episodes.
They should focus on these features, not character design alterations.
For example, let's see episode 70 "Death Girls Unite".
http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=1210
In this episode, there are lots of motifs that every man craves for- in all ages, in all countries.
-a lonely hero
-a super car
-pretty girl
-femme fatale
-defeated sexy enemies
You can pick up below points from this episode.
-a boss who always meddles, don't trust you.
-uncomfortable feelings watching conflicting colleagues.
-betrayed "MAN's Romentic"
-payment for taking the devil's hand
-gore scenes of mummified human body
Mannequin designs as above would attract adults.
They moves like elegant ballerinas or antique marionettes, not in a sluttish way.
And a muscular young man overpowers delicate female bodies.
If a newly introduced hero does this, it would not be that impressive, but it's Ken and Joe! Heroes of my childhood!, my first love! This is your legacy, Tatsunoko!!
Ha.......
If they didn't blow up 80 million dollars for Gatchaman Movie, I think extremely high quality animation series could have launched enough.
Gatchaman adult version can be a hot issue itself, there are lots of another issues to develop.
For example,(though it is just my wish) design collaborations with famous car designers or intentional noise marketing like "Japan Media Rating Board disapproved Gatchaman Reboot".
