Sending my best wishes to Japan and their wonderful, creative people who gave birth to the Gatchaman world which we all love so much. It's been heartbreaking to watch the news, especially regarding Sendai, home to one particular Owl. Speedy recovery...

Happy birthday, Cep. Hope you're having a great one!

[quote][i]Originally posted by UnpublishedWriter[/i] If I'm remembering right, in Japanese tradition, the islands rest on the back of a giant catfish. Its movements cause the earthquakes that wrack the nation.[/quote] You are right! The foundation stone of Tokyo is said to sit atop the head of the catfish, keeping it place.

[quote][i]Originally posted by Transmute Jun[/i] I suspect when they got this episode, the BOTP staff had no idea it was part of an ongoing plot thread. They saw it as self-contained, and wrote their version this way. [/quote] BOTP aired in 1978, at least 5 years after Gatchaman did in Japan. Do you think the staff got the episodes one at a time? The original series had been completed for so long by then.
