I received my blu-ray of the movie today from amazon.co.jp. It's way better than I had imagined (after reading some mediocre reviews). I don't understand a word of Japanese, but it was easy to follow and there's actually some dialogue in English. Gus

How does one go about getting a fan-dubbed or subtitled set for Gatchaman II? I'd like to watch the series but don't think I'd be able to follow the Japanese-only DVDs and Eagle Riders butchers up so many of the original stories. What are the best options? Gus

Thanks for the welcomes. Since I've been subjecting my wife to bazillion episodes of Gatchaman over the past couple of weeks, she posted her observations on her blog: [URL=http://tikistitch.livejournal.com/1387795.html]http://tikistitch.livejournal.com/1387795.html[/URL] I think she likes the show!

Hi, I just joined the forum and saw the Intro thread so thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Gus, and I'm from Seattle. I've been a fan of Gatchaman since watching BOTP when it first aired in the US. Over the years, I've picked up some Gatchaman toys, which my wife posted on her website: [URL=http://www.bobagirl.com/anime/gatchaman/gatchaman.html]http://www.bobagirl.com/anime/gatchaman/gatchaman.html[/URL]. I was in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago on shopping trip (my wife is into anime toys and Lilo & Stitch, so we go there now and then to look for stuff), and saw a lot of cool vintage Gatchaman items in various shops, so have been diligently watching the DVDs and dusting off the old toys. From perusing the forum, it looks really informative and full of great discussions, so thought I'd join. Thanks! Gus

I didn't see any discussion on this so thought I'd ask: is there any reason that the Gatchaman Collections 6 & 7 DVD box sets are extremely expensive ($100-200 each) while most of the other box sets in the series are much, much cheaper (under $20)? Looking across multiple sites this seems to be the pattern everywhere, although some sites have these out of stock for a lower list price. Were 6 and 7 just produced in lower quantities and thus in high demand? Or is this a transient thing from a temporary shortage? I need Collection 7 to complete my set, so was wondering if anyone had tips on where to get it cheaper if that's an option. Thanks in advance. Gus
