Smile Hi Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

I have been lurking for a couple of months so thought I had better register and introduce myself. I have mainly been lurking on the episode of the week board so far and have really enjoyed reading the summaries.

My sisters and I were huge fans when we were kids. I was Mark, my next sister was Jason and my baby sister had to be whoever was needed in that particular episode.

We pretty much lived the game for a long time which meant my mum had to take us everywhere in plastic helmets, cape and wellingtons and refer to us girls as Mark and Jason in public!

I only discovered Gatchaman a couple of months ago. I was looking for cartoons to show my airplane/spaceship/rocket mad sons and found Battle of the Planets in the library and they had a Gatchaman ep on it.

Ever since I have been watching eps on youtube whenever I can find the time.

Welcome!!

God love youtube! I spent way more than my download limit watching Gatchaman episodes when I first found out that there was a series behind BotP!

Anyway, jump in, swim around, the water's great - there's no crocs lurking and if they are, we have the big red button to take care of them! *snigger*

Welcome Palynerd, it sounds like you have been introduced to Gatchaman in pretty much the same way most of us have been. Though BOTP first.

Please feel free to pick up a conversation in any thread you want.

Nice to meet you, Palynerd! I too was a BOTP fan in the 70s, and didn't discover Gatch until 2006.

Do your sons like Battle of the Planets and Gatchaman? It's always good to make new, young converts!

Yes my boys are enjoying watching BotP. They have a thing for planes at the moment and love the god phoenix because it can go underwater!

I only recently watched the last 5 eps so Joe dying was a huge surprise!

I know it surprised a lot of people, me included, when I first learned about it. "Joe/Jason can't die !!!!!!" It took me almost a year to want to watch the eps where he dies.

I think I was lucky that I had read something before hand about Joe dying...

And that he had been brought back!

OMG, if I hadn't...

I'd still be a total mess....

*sniff*

Am still a bit of a mess...

Saw the first couple eps of Eagle Riders and read stuff online.

Actually, it was an ad trailer for OAV Gatchaman that gave me the 'right' name to search. Seriously, ever search 'G-Force'? Of course, that I first search in 1997 probably didn't help. A year later and I probably would have hit a coupld BotP sites, at least.

And yes, I did read the copyright info in the teeny-tiny print in the credits of GoS, so I knew I was looking for a Japanese original somewhere along the line. What really impresses me about Gatchaman is that it was translated THREE times -which says a lot about its heart.

When I first learned about Gatchaman, by googling "Battle of the Planets," I read about what happens to Joe then and I was shocked. "Jason dies?' But I was buying the ADV dvds a couple at a time back then and it took a few months before I saw the final episodes, but when I did, they really had an big impact on me. Still do.

I was watching the whole series with my nephew, who was 10 at the time, and he was upset! I had to explain quickly that Joe wasn't really dead and would be back for the second series.

That is the only thing that made me happy was hearing that he survived, of a sort, and returns to the team.

I often think that there must have been tons of distraught people in Japan the night that episode 105 aired for the very first time. And unlike us, they had no way of knowing, in 1974, that Joe was going to come back as a cyborg in Gatchaman II, and they had to wait 4 years to find out about it.

When I told my sister her reply was "Oh no not my darling Jason... dont think I can bear to watch!" I am actually glad they didnt air those eps in Aust we would have been pretty upset.

I had more of a thing for Mark so I dont think I would have been as upset as my sister. Watching BoTP as an adult I prefer Jason, but with Gatchaman it is still Ken even if he is probably half my age lol

Where in Australia are you, PalyNerd? I'm in Brisbane, and we have several other regulars (Littlewolf, Green and Ebonyswan) who are Aussies as well.
