Hi,
I'm 
I come from Poland, but live in Denmark.
I grew up with Battle of The Planets, and was totally crazy about it. Couldn't wait to get home from school to see new episodes. Then it was gone, and I didn't see it or heard of it more.
Now many years later I rediscovered the original Gatchaman again. I bought all DVD's to see it again. Gee it was fantastic to watch it's uncut version! I've become addicted to it. I haven't seen Gatchaman II yet, but I'm hoping to find somewhere the DVD with English subtitles.
I'm glad I've found you guys.

Welcome to our humble lunatic asylum!
Anything you want to know feel free to ask, we have some real guru's on the site and of course there is the Gatch movie coming!
Welcome welcome Meg! Always nice to see a new face on the boards! Feel free to post fics, artwork, ideas or just be plain mad in no particular order! 
You made the right choice!
You made the right choice!
Thanks Firebird,
I'm looking forward to meeting you guys.
I heard about the new movie coming. Can't wait to see it 
Czesc, Meg!
Welcome to the boards! We can get a little crazy at times, but this a fun place to be. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Thanks Cep,
I might be more of that "plain mad" in the start. Nice to meet you.

Hi Meg! It's great to see a new face, especially another Swannie! Your story is pretty much the same as mine: watching BOTP as a kid and discovering uncut Gatchaman as an adult.
I'm looking forward to seeing you around the boards!
(pssst..... don't believe all of those rumors about this site corrupting you... it makes you a better victim if you're unaware)
Welcome to the insanity Meg! I'm Canadian. I too watched BotP as a kid and Gatch as an adult. I think it's the same for most folks here.
So feel free to join in on anything here & have fun!
Hi meg....
I'm a G Force kid personally (2nd generation gatch fan..)
I see lots of folks join, but they never post. Glad you have the nerve to jump in.....
Hello there Meg and welcome aboard! It's good to see another European fellow around!

Hi Transmute Jun, kimiko and Toneman,
It's great to se that there are others crazy about Gatchaman just like me. It will be fun to visit the board.
Toneman, I'm reading your "Disorder in the house" now. I like it. I like the way you portrait Joe.
Myself, I won't dare to write anything, because my English is not good enough. I'll just enjoy reading others stories.
Originally posted by amyltrer Hello there Meg and welcome aboard!Thanks amylter, Nice to meet you
Psst, Meg, don't worry about your English. Mine is well under the decency level. All that matter is devotion towards Gatch. Oh and you're a Swannie. Swannies rullez around.
Even the Gallactor side of the forum fears them! 
Meg we are big fans of pics and fics so when you feel like it jump in. we are keen to encourage anyones artistic flair especially when it comes to Gatch.

Welcome Meg.
I too am a Canadian and like so many others watched BOTP as a child and have only recently discovered Gatch.
Enjoy yourself here and watch out for the rubber room. That is where the fun really begins.
Welcome, Meg! It's great to have another Swannie around!! 
Thank you Meg. Noone here bashes anything anyone else does.
We have respect for one another as artists, and fans, even friends, I dare say.
Anything you write or draw could not be any worse than some of the Garbage that I have done (which will never see the light of day... A DITH comic I did in 1999... full color... )
Have fun and let loose......

Thank you Meg. Noone here bashes anything anyone else does. We have respect for one another as artists, and fans, even friends, I dare say.Tone said that very well. We love fan works of all kinds, and we like to be very encouraging! Hope you share some! ~ Eva

No more Eagle bashing!
lol TJ think you need to do something to convince Amy that Eagle bashing is not a healthy sport.
It's already fun to be here!
Thanks everybody for your warm welcome!
"Don't worry Amy, I've got you...."
::Toneman steps forward, and strikes another sexy condor pose... The girls go crazy....::
"This should distract the swannies long enough for youto get back to Ken..."
Welcome to the site, don't let TJ scare you to bad lol and don't get to 
Now Tone dont you know that no matter the pose the eagle loving Swans will always look after him?
BTW dont you know the Condor is always supposed to have the Eagles back?

Originally posted by Toneman We should have an Ego/Eagle bashing challenge... We can see who gets bashed the worst of the two...Well, the Eagle is the winner far ahead! He's waaay more bash then Ego!

Have to say I am surprised you dont do a challenge for Ego fics and pics?
Originally posted by Firebird Have to say I am surprised you dont do a challenge for Ego fics and pics?
I've been thinking at this for a while, but giving how much the Swannies love him................Maybe one day they'lll air the Fighter again and people will see how good villain Ego is and he'll get more fans!
Well what say the rest of you Swannies/members after the other challenges shall we do some short fics/pics etc for Amy?
An Ego challenge?? I'm in... I might draw something...
Maybe that scene in DITH episode seven where the Shadowmage pistol whips Ego with his own gun....

Ohhh... the plot thickens!!!
Now we see another side of the story...
Amy never bothered to mention that...
Sin of omission, anyone?
All this time, she's been hounding us as if noone had written anything for her, or so I beleived....
And we dicover that TJ has done 2 aready that haven't ever been mentioned?
This looks like the work of Gallacter.
This Condor doesn't like being had.
Because of your actions, Amy, I am now forced to go to Ego's castle, and stomp the holy dog crap out of him.
I'll be sure to let him know that this was all your fault...

It sounds like you have a very good understanding of the English language. Plus we're very forgiving here... We just like to read fics and see what kinds of stories other people come up with. I think it's amazing so many people in Eastern Europe think their English isn't very good. Amy has said that quite a few times, and I don't see it. Amy's English is very good! I also have a very good friend who's Polish and she always says the same thing to me. But honestly, I think she has a better command of the English language than some people I know who's only language is English! Anyway, my point was that if you like to write, then please do so! We're always grateful for any fics that come our way! Dobrze?

Czesc, Meg. I'm new here too. I'm assuming the version of Battle of the Planets that you saw years ago was in Polish -I'm curious to know what names the characters had in that version, or were they the same names as the English version (Mark, Jason, Princess etc.)?
My boyfriend is Polish-American and quite fluent in the language (it's what his parents always spoke at home). I might ask you sometime to tell me how to say something in Polish so that I can surprise him!

You just come and visit me Hino, and you can shovel the snow. Although you would not have to shovel - it has all been done for you.
So I am sure we could find something even better to do with all this white stuff. It has been a little too cold for nice snowball snow to form but I am sure we can find something equally as fun to do to become the children we pretend to be.
