Gatchaman

Sorry if this has been posted before, I was going to post this in the TMNT movie forum but thought better of it. I thought it was worth posting because guess who is making the movie... Imagi! Directed by Kevin Munroe, I guess he has a thing for teenage ninja teams?

Looks really cool. Hopefully TMNT will be successful and we'll get more and more 80's revival movies.

the artwork looks really impressive.

TMNT will be successful no doubt.

As long as they make it similar to the Top Cow comic series from a few years back, which I thought was the best interpretation of the Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets/G-Force/Eagle Riders story.

A shame it got cancelled and ended on a major cliffhanger. :ohwell:

I had a few issues with the way some of the characters were used in top cow, but over all it was a pretty decent series. definetley better than the battle of the planets cartoon. I'm just so stoked about this, I even bought that Cy-Girls G3 Doll from Japan several years back. I Love Gatchaman.

I think my only objection about the characterizations in the Top Cow comic was Keyop having that artificial womb fixation. That was a bit too much.


I used to buy the Gatchaman box sets from ADV and was really enjoying them, but when I was desperate for money I pawned them since I knew I could never afford to buy the series in its entirety (not at the pace those boxes were going, anyway).

Yeah Keyop was my biggest problem with the comic. Everything was easy to overlook.

[DrSpengler]

It's a tough choice. On the one hand, he had an over-the-top womb obsession, but on the other hand he spoke English and not Q-bert lingo.

Tough call.

Oh it's by far better than the Battle of the Planets edit of the show, in everyway. I was comparing it to the original Japanese Gatchaman.
