He's Gatchamando enermy No. 1 at the moment....
Who knows what he is capable of?
You mean capable of besides looking cooler than the original 'Bellbottom Boy'? Bet you'd never see THIS boy in...ahem....roller skates, seriously planning to use them tactically against Galactor....

That would depend on the choreographer and the latest teen trend. He's probably be stuck with a hula hoop as an offensive weapon instead. Or a water gun, or one of those horrible little alien in an egg things. Or some kind of candy that you can put drops of coloured stuff on which make you hyperactive. Actually, that's probably more of a NTT Jinpei thing.
He is accompanied by anyone Tengu?
Yes, a psycopath who thinks hes a condor, an erstatz swan who doesnt dare to show her undies (shes blonde so she must be Spectran even if the others are not) a swallow with too short a beak and a nearly as insane owl.
I wont even mention that `creature` (I hesitate to identify it as a human) who doesnt realise the `real` Zoltar wears lipstick...
All in all a very iffy bunch indeed. What they have to do with Sandy Frank I shudder to think.
(Perhaps the company has been taken over by Spectra?)
A swan not showing her knickers??!!!
THAT IS JUST NOT HOW YOU PLAY CRICKET!!!!!!
It is a preriques....uh...prereq....uh..hmm..prerequi...ahhh sod it... *signs up for a spelling class*
All swans HAVE to flash their undees...it is part of the contract! She MUST be an imposter!!
Blonde??!! Blonde?! Nufin wrong with us blondes...With her tittie implants from the OAV's...she could be the new Pamela Anderson!
*nods in agreement with SJ*
Part of your contract to show undies as a swan.
Now can we get someone to do something about these imposters before the GForce's good name is ruined!!!
Ninja-Sam is very confused.
NTT Ken?
What is all this about?
Kicks snoring Eagle-Condor heap.
Guys! Do you know anything about these people?
But agree on one thing, nothing wrong with us blondes.

In the live action version Jun is played by a guy!!!!!
They could not get any talented females to play her?
Gee I mean you have that wonderful lady from crouching tiger hidden dragon ok she does not look like Jun but at least she is female and can do the fight scenes!!!!
You see we are up against a very ruthless enermy who will stop at nothing to sell us an internet server....not to mention poor quality music.

Well, SMAP were (or maybe still are) a boy band. 5 boys, no girls. Maybe there's an androgynous member in there so none of their fans would blink an eyelid at him turning up as G3?
Maybe we could have a GatchFansite petition against it! 
Sounds good to me Cep
Will you start one?
Its a brilliant idea Cep, we will make a Gatchamaniac of you yet!
Sure I'll start it if you like 
What should the statement say exactly?
What should the statement say exactly?
We can start with wendys link;
http://www.chronicsite.com/gatchaman/nttgatch.html
and ask politley what a Japanese advertising campaign has to do with botp
Any other ideas??
Its deadly serious Drive. This is a misleading advertising campaign.
its like having jun turned into boy george...its just wrong.
I only have one thing to say; I would hate to see Katse's toothpaste bill!
Okay two, what is up with the blonde hair on Jun? Put that back to black!
er...dont you mean green?
Dont think she ever had black hair..eh?
Tis true on the back of one of the discs in the BOTP boxset Princess is described as having green hair and brown eyes
Okay I'm easy, make it green. (It really is green, huh? Was never really sure about that)
Just get rid of the blonde.
Its BLACK hair and GREEN eyes.
Dont these people bother watching the cartoon??

Yes, we do watch the cartoon. The hair is green -- varies from muddy to dark, and sometimes is black, but it's green in several episodes.

This picture shows some of the variances in her hair color.
Note: I didn't make this collage of screencaps, nor did I make the screencaps. I stole it from some nobody on the street. So there. 
OOh Elvin!..great screencaps!
And there you have ladies and gentlemen of the jury !
A G3 who refuses to be classified as boonde, brunette or redhead..
Mores the power to individualism!..
Er that is unless she she's doing this to confuse and befuddle the Goons and Galactors out there?
speaking of which..just WHO the HECK..is the guy on the drums in the second pic?????
Blink??

Oh yes, I am the MASTER of saving pictures to my comp. Had around 3,000 last count, I think...depends on whether or not my computer's managed to lose all its data recently or not.
Well, there's a new dye out by Fructis Garnier that has blue-blacks and the like. Maybe she's using that or an equivalent. Koolaid works too, sorta.
I think that guy is just some member of a band playing at the Snack J or something. I think this is from the Ant episode.
Agreed all the shots I have seen of her have always shown her as Black hair sometimes with varying shades of other colours.

I have to agree with Tengu on this. I am going to guess the green is the way they chose to show highlights in her hair.
Now in true anime style, traditional japanese character is shown with black hair. However Gatchaman was done before the anime style starting using different color hair for character types. ie: pink is for little girls, white is normally reserved for villains, blonde means they are poking fun at americans (please I am american this is just the research), and I forgot what the other ones mean like blue and the such. If anyone is really curious I can relocate the link.
But point is it is probably black with green highlights.

Her hair really changes depending on the "lighting" of where she is. It goes from a really light green like in one of the screen caps all the way to black, but generally it's in a middle area, tending more towards the darker green than the lighter. In the later two seasons, it tends to be a definite green more frequently. I'd say it's probably six of green-haired episodes and half a dozen of black-haired episodes in the original season.

Hence the varying shades of green? Perhaps they're like me and set the color they use right in the middle of all the other colors, like me, making it difficult to find the correct one. Ink looks darker when in a jar, ya know. Can't blame a fella for making a mistake every now and then.
a guy as *SWAN*!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHA! Hope they paid him extra! Thats just to weird, even for me!
back in what, the seventeenth century, all the girl parts in plays were given to castrati - hopefully this guy didnt have to go that far.

*snicker* But then the little boy-band could have a soprano. Might be a wise business decision, or something.
all boy bands are made from unucks (is that how you spell it?)
Originally posted by Cep Or perhaps the artists ran out of black ink?Closer than you know apparently. In reading up on the various shrines of Gatch on the web, I have been educated to the fact that black ink is the most expensive color to use for cell painting. Combine that with the fact that the Japanese culture is full of folks with black hair. The florescent day-glo anime hair dye colors that became popular did so because they were much cheaper to paint than the true to nature 'black' hair. Hence Jun developing algae hair as the series went on. It was just economically sound. Kinda cool trivia huh? Now if you get asked that question on Jeopardy, you'll win the daily double over that egghead physicist. hehehe
Yay for Buffy!
Knew you or Meridian would find some trivia related to it.

Wow. Never knew that. I guess it's because computer printer color ink is more expensive than black. That's really interesting that it was opposite.
Oh, and Cep, it's spelled eunuch. Course, I only really know this from reading the Pirates of the Carribean script. Capt. Sparrow had quite a fascination with it.
