I stumbled upon this page, and cracked up at some of the pictures...I hadn't seen this before, so I wasn't sure if anyone else had, either. I just thought it was fun to look at...
Gatch pics
I especially enjoyed the different ways to unmask a Galactor goon on the next page...

One more site that should be mentioned...

It hasn't been updated since 2000 but it is still worth a read.

I love those webpages. Thanks for posting, Tim!
I'm a huge fan of Ayako's Production Diaries. Have been since the late 90s. Love her Japanese Phrase of the Day pages as well.
Now I'm off to check out more of the site that Springie mention. 
Hope you enjoy the site, Tim, it has certainly given me more than a few chuckles...
Now here's a description that leaves me scratching my head and saying, "WTH???????"
Take a look and see if you can make any sense out of this...
Weird BOTP Description
It forces of the gravity was done of the heroic Mark, Jason bad-tempered, Keyop unwarranted, Tiny and challenged, and, of course, the Princess (the sigh). The 7-Zark-7 was aggregated in the exposition, often to treat and to tie the conspiracy of Neptune Central, its underwater base. In the subsequent expositions that was united by robot "adorable", 1-Rover-1.HUH????
Casey Kasem provides the voice for the Mark. The was also the voice behind Hairy in Scooby Doo, and in a DJ American.Janet Waldo provided the shameful voice of Princess...
Oh my, who ever wrote that should hang their head in shame or either stop using Babelfish to do their translations.
What a strange write-up. It lists Casey Kasem as Hairy in Scooby Doo? WTF? It also lists Janet Waldo as the voice of Josie (which is true) but misses that she also did the voice of Judy from the Jetsons (which is a more common reference). That reminds me... I want to pick up the Josie DVD for Christmas.
It also mentions the music was by Hoyt S. Curtin (correct) but it goes to mention Ed Wood (which has a negative connotation IMNSHO) and not the fact that Curtin also composed the themes for the Flinstones, Jetsons, Jonny Quest (best theme song evar!), Superfriends, and so on.
Actually after reading the page again I'm sure it wasn't originally written in English but translated with babelfish or something like it. I mean really... "Riders of Aguila" (what a weird way of saying Eagle Riders).
Very strange.

And don't forget, Janet Waldo was the "shameful" voice of Princess, too...
and, you know, the show is also known as...
Also Known As: It forces of the gravity ( US ) (the informal alternative title)
Ya, very weird. It just shows how emotionally charged some words can be. That article almost reminded me of something found on wikipedia.

Here's an interesting pic from Episode 68: The Particle Iron Beast Micro-Saturn...
Check out the name on the jet behind Ken... is it me or does that say, "APE SATAN"? The satan bit is obvious but I'm not sure about the first word.

Bwahahahahha...and it looks like the other jet says, "Amy"...
Amy, is there something we should know?
Satan Airlines??? Ride the Red Eye to Hell....No return flights needed!
Check if Amy has any spray paint cans in her pockets!
Somehow I can picture Amy 'taggin' the planes with her Eagle-bashing comments....Ego Rules! Eagle Drools!
Actually, those are the Gallactor specials airplane transporters, but the I don't know how that nasty Eagle spotted them.
Maybe because of the Eagle-bashing comments I've sprayed all over them!
You know Springie, until you mentioned Amy's name on that jet I read it as Navy. Now all I can see is Amy
Thanks a lot .....

Everyone can draw, Hinotori. Most of us just stopped around age 8, so developmentally we still draw like 8-year-olds. If you start drawing, you will slowly develop new skills, just as you would have had you kept drawing.
Some people do naturally have more skill than others, but don't let fear of looking stupid, or impatience that you're not "good enough" keep you from practicing if you genuinely want to be able to draw. There is a good book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain if anyone wants to try to learn to draw.
I think Springie has grown sooooooo much in the last year, and I am so proud of her for posting all of her work and practicing and trying new things and becoming better every day!
You may have just meant you wish abstractly. I wish I could sing, but Lord knows it would take a team of teachers, shatterproof glass, and a lot of earplugs. I also wish I could speak a foreign language fluently, but I just don't have the knack. So French people wonder what I'm choking on, in spite of 5 years of French.
Originally posted by Hinotori Wow! Those are amazing!! I wish I had the talent to draw... Curious to know what the Japanese says in the art, though.LOL! Guru - I think not. More like Gakusei (student). I'm still very early in my Japanese studies, but I can see what I can do.Oh, Tim! Tim, our Japanese language guru, where are you??
Originally posted by katsesama Yuto:Pichipichi = the state of being young, fresh and vigorous. That was the easy one.
This one I'm not 100% on but I think the kid is saying, "Nanda kono sa wa?" = "This difference, what is it?" (I think the kid is jealous because he is young but not in the way Joe is.) Like I said, I'm not sure about this translation.
Tim, I have a feeling 'the kid' is supposed to be Ken.
Are those not Ken's striped swim tunks?
So "undeveloped" Ken is comparing himself to "well defined" Joe.
Originally posted by clouddancer Tim, I have a feeling 'the kid' is supposed to be Ken. Are those not Ken's striped swim tunks? So "undeveloped" Ken is comparing himself to "well defined" Joe.Ahh, that makes sense (if my translation is right). The kid is emphasizing 'what' (it is written in katakana which is like us writing something in italics - in this case at least) and kono (means 'this', that is close to the speaker). Sa = difference. So basically he is asking what's the difference between Joe and himself... or why does Joe have 'pichipichi' and not him. 'kono sa' could also mean 'ko no sa' which would mean 'child of the difference' but I think if that was the case then child (ko) would be written in its kanji form instead of hiragana. My level of Japanese is still very basic. It is one thing to understand the words but something else to understand the meaning. Japanese and English are so far apart that sometimes concepts don't translate well between the two languages.
Originally posted by Sosai X Pichipichi = the state of being young, fresh and vigorous. That was the easy one.Oh, honey, you gotta think like a woman. I think there's an additional meaning here on top of what you guys have already explained. Or maybe I'm just more blunt.
"The difference, what is it?"
That's easy. He's asking what the difference is between the size of the fish and JOE, if you know what (and where) I mean. Rhetorically. That is, there is no difference. And that's a big fish!
I think there's also a backwards crack at Ken, since the kid looks like a little Ken. (Get it? A little Ken?)
We'd better hide this from Amy...
Originally posted by katsesamaLOL! I thought of the fish symbolism but quickly forgot it as I concentrated on the language instead. But you are right, you have to look at the whole picture and I think the kid is Ken who is expressing his thoughts about his inadequacies (and I don't mean just the size of his danseeki). Basically it is Ken wondering out loud why Joe has more "sex appeal" than he does. On a technical side of things... men can use 'wa' at the end of a sentence to emphasis one's thoughts (basically it is the same as using 'yo' at the end of the sentence).Originally posted by Sosai X Pichipichi = the state of being young, fresh and vigorous.

Originally posted by katsesamaThis one says, "Kun no kuchibiru no kata ga ama sou da naa!" Which basically translates to: "I hear that the gentleman's manly lips are sweet (attractive)!!!" It breaks down like this... Kun (male/manly) no (possessive modifier) kuchibiru (lips) no (possessive modifier) kata (gentleman - polite version) ga (this means the word before it is the subject) ama (sweet/attractive) soo desu (I hear it is - at least in this case - it varies depending on the context) naa (expresses emotion) Edit: The kanji for kun can also be read as kimi which changes the translation a little bit... Kimi = you (used by men when talking to close friends, subordinates, or juniors) + no = your

BTW, I still don't get what's with that fish from Joe's hand! 
The fish represents his wing dang doodle, amy..... Pay attention in Japaneese class, and you will learn...
Knowing the Japanese's insatiable love for seafood, couldn't the fish in Joe's hand be his lunch? Sashimi (sushi) anyone?
P.S. I'm only kidding

I picked up on the fish thing too...It's the placement of the fish + it's a very phallic looking one...a "bonefish" perhaps...LMAO!!!

I am NOT used by men....well at least not as much as I wanna be used...LOL!!! I used to be a member of the S.C.A.. IIRC I think Maddy is also a member. Kimiko is a japanese name I saw on an album cover that I chose for my japanese character. My friends and I tried to translate it using a japanese/english dictionary...it translated into (depending on where the syllables were divided)...light or silver, virgin or witch...or something like that...
Oh god, I love the fish picture...I think Kimi is right about thinking like a woman...I got the reference right away!! Poor Ken...Joe really does have more sex appeal...
shhhhh...don't tell ken I said that!

Joe also elbows her and pushes her alot...when he's mad or impatient...It has been ages since I've watched all of my Gatchaman episodes (my VHS tapes are starting to show their age) but I remember one episode where Ken slaps Jun because she was getting flustered. I believe this was on the God Phoenix but I'm going from memory so I could be wrong. I don't consider the back of the hand to be soft because that's where the knuckles are.
In other words... Ken gave Jun a pimp slap. *grin*
What I find interesting is in Japanese culture, it isn't unheard of for a person to slap a subordinate (or either sex) if they are screwing/acting up. I do believe that this is rather rare today but the early 70s in Japan is like a whole different world.
