The 14 things I've learned from watching Gatchaman

T H E F O U R T E E N T H I N G S I' V E L E A R N E D F R O M W A T C H I N G G A T C H A M A N

1. Bell bottoms aren’t just a trend, they’re a lifestyle.

2. Science Ninja skills include being able to fight in thigh high boots with heels.

3. If you’re a megalomaniac you can never wear enough pink lip gloss.

4. Only two groups of men can get away with wearing thing high heeled boots: The Science Ninja Team (with Jun of course) and the rock group Kiss.

5. There is no such thing as too much melodrama.

6. The term “over the top” is not in Gatchaman’s lexicon.

7. Retro is cool.

8. If you’re the leader of a science ninja team it’s okay to toss the occasional hissy fit.

9. Gatchaman is a cry baby, Jun the Swan said so.

10. Galactor should win “builder of the year” award for being able to build bases the sizes of small towns underneath the earth’s crust, and below entire cities all over the world, build gigantic mecha beasts time after time and somehow go unnoticed. Now that’s amazing sneaky building skillz!

11. If you’re Joe the Condor and you fall for a woman, she probably works for Galactor.

12. If you’re a woman who fell for Joe, you’re probably going to get killed, most likely by Joe.

13. If a guy looks like your dad, treats you like a son, flies a plane like your dad, odds are he’s your dad!

14. No matter how much time passes, Gatchaman is still the coolest.



You've all probably seen this, but just in case you haven't I thought I would share...

I haven't seen this in a while...I love it!

I'd like to add in...

Lava lamps make great special effects for cartoons!

and When in doubt, weapons make great gifts for Science Ninjas!

Love your additions!

I would like to add a qualifier to the 'there's nothing strange about having green hair' - if you're a really cool ninja chick who has a yo-yo of death.

Personal experience tells me if you're not and you were actually trying to dye your blonde hair black, then yes, it's a little strange...

I also learned that a Nissan Skyline GTR is a very desirable car.

I haven't read all of the replies since I haven't seen the entire first series yet and don't want things spoiled but heres one I think it's funny:

Joe REALLY likes bird missiles....like a lot. More like an unhealthy obsession.

:p
