Hi all!
Felix Ip, a Creative Director for Imagi, has posted a few new Gatchaman images in his blog. You can find them at:

Interesting. These don't look all that much different from the concept art that was released last year.
I wonder what's in the case that Joe's holding on to, with his arm out the window. I wish I could see Joe better!
Thanks for posting this, James!
Is the building in the second picture Snack J?
I am not too sure I like the look of the Gatchaman logo in the first picture at all.

Thanks for posting this, James!That picture looks like one of the shots we saw in the trailer at the Imagi booth. Where Joe is backing up and picked up the briefcase from the Bad guys (I presume they were gun dealers) and the case contains the money for the deal. but it could also be weapons or biological substances or .... anything/nothing.

Thank you for finding and posting those James. Now if only they would release some pictures of the team either in Birdstyle or civilian I would not mind.
Thanks, James, for the images. I like the new Gatchaman symbol--traditional yet cool. I hope IMAGI has more updates forthcoming.
P.S. CD I like your signature! LOL! 
FYI Anime News Network also had a quick note about the images http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-08-01/imagi-creative-director-posts-gatchaman-art-notes-delay
It does say that Gatchaman will not be out in 2009. Let's hope for 2010 all!

Plus with all of you letting IMAGI know that we are out there, during the CC that is, it might help a lot.
Now that they have teased I so do want to view more!!!

Hi all!
I've noticed in the comments made on Felix's blog regarding that new images that someone commented on how they hope that the new character designs won't look like the OAV designs, prompting Felix to ask what she didn't like about the OAV characters.
To me, this has opened the floor to comments from fans in general regarding how they feel the characters in the new film should look, or how they shouldn't look. Since Felix is a Creative Director for Imagi, he might be a good person to express those opinions to.
So, if you wish, you might want to go to Felix's blog (At http://felixip.blogspot.com/ ) and drop him a comment.

Thanks so much James.... now we all can voice our opinions to the correct people.

Thanks, James, for keeping us updated! Sometimes I feel like we're all just following along in your Godlike wake. 
ITA, TJ! I think Imagi should be consulting James for this film! 
I suppose I could post "yeah, what he/she said!" on Felix Ip's blog -so many of you have posted opinions that I concur with!
Fingers crossed that he will pay attention...
I agree that James should be Imagi's consultant! If they listened to him, they'd get everything right.
Those new images were from the footage Imagi showed at Anime Expo and Comic Con. I was wondering who was with soldiers--sounds like a situation Joe might find himself in. I'm just speculating that Joe was being recruited from prison (as per that scene with the weapons deal).
Ooh, great thought, Condorfan!! It totally slipped my mind that the movie is/was supposed to focus on how the team was formed! Could be an interesting twist on the story if Imagi picks it up from when they're teenagers rather than young kids. Of course this will totally blow the idea that they've been training for years to become Ninjas, but if you take the OVA's into consideration, it's almost like an "in-between" mark. (not saying that I think the movie should change the age canon any, but I'm anticipating some major changes to the team's background story).

I'm okay with changing the background, as long as Joe's parents were still killed by Galactor. They can change anyone else's background and I won't mind. I'd even be HAPPY if they took out Ken's being related to RI! 
I was actually hoping they would explore their backgrounds a little more. I guess mostly because I always felt there were "holes" in the story with it. But I'm with you when it comes to changing the ages... I'm ok with it as long as the core of their backgrounds are there.
As far as the RI part, even though he'll never win "Father of the Year", RI is an integral part of the story. Could the character in the movie be a little "softer" than RI in the series? Sure, to a point. But change his "hard-assness" too much and his character won't have the same implications on Ken or develop Ken into who he becomes (speaking from a complete leadership POV. Emotionally, RI totally messed him up and was a horrible influence!).

I'd even be HAPPY if they took out Ken's being related to RI!This just more speculation on my part, but that could be the reason Joe would have been in prison. After his parents being murdered, he took his rage out on the world and being in and out of prison would make sense for the character. As long as the characters are respected, their orgins can be open but I do agree that the issue of Joe's parents being murdered should be kept. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they did take out RI being related to Ken...or to make things interesting, have him related to Ken but he's a spy for Galactor! Again, I'm just speculating.....
Wow, Condorfan! I think we need to get the pokey on you! Your ideas are fabulous, and regardless of whether this is the direction the film will be going or not, you should write a fic based on these "speculations"!

Hi all,
A couple more images have turned up, this time on butterboom.com. They aren't concept art like on Felix's site, but promotional art from a sales sheet for the film. Despite being released only last month, there's no telling how current these images are, or if the designs have been or will be changed from these. They can be seen at:
http://www.butterboom.com/2007/03/22/imagi-unveils-gatchaman/
They're at the bottom of the page, tacked on after a very old article from March of last year.

Thank you James.
The image of the teams uniforms reminds me of the OAV uniforms, they look nice and sleek.
Although I do have to complain about the "size" of the Owl, and I am wondering if that is a "slit" up the side of the Swan's skirt.

Their lack of knowledge on who your were dressed as, kinda scares me. Maybe they are allowing the little things out, to let us know they haven't forgotten us.
I like the look of the uniforms--recognizable yet they have a modern look.
(Boy the guys look hot in that--except Jinpei of course--I'm not a pervert!)
Thanks again James!
They look a bit like the OAVs. Though Jinpei's boots are just huge.

Exactly what I was thinking Amy.
Maybe he thinks it will put him on a equal footing "height wise" with the others.
Thank you, James, for posting the link!
Not bad, and I'm glad that they reflect on the original art, though I'm assuming that there will be some "redesigns" to these too...
Ken - I think I like his the most, but maybe I'm just biased. I love how every muscle is outlined (and I stress every!) 
Jun - whoa. Why stop the leg slit there? Might as well let it go all the way to her navel.... 
Joe - looking good. Maybe it's just the angle he's drawn at, but is it just me or does his face remind you of Getz?? 
Jinpei - ITA about the boots... Reminds me of Gene Simmons in his "Demon" outfit... Also, why is he so short?? He looks like he's about six in that rendering!
Ryu - Again with the bulk that makes him look heavy as opposed to muscular?? Someone hire Springie to draw Ryu the way he should be drawn!
Ok, now that it seems that I've dragged it through the mud, I really do like the designs. I like how they're updated and modernized. And I love the helmets on all of them. Sleek and don't look "bulky".

After your description Hino, I double checked the picture. While Joe and Ken may be well muscled , something about their ab area makes them look starved. Could be the way that the uniforms lay upon them, possibly a neked picture of them might be nice!

I kinda like Ryu to be a bit more bulky as opposed to fat. I was hoping Jinpei would be a pre-teen(10-12) to match the original. But the rest looks awesome!!!!
I just happened to snoop around the Net and find this pic of the team (minus Ken, awwww). It would have been the final design since it was similar to the poster of Joe and the comic mural shown at the Anime Expo '09. Here they are.

Two new ones I hadn't seen. I like that the uniforms look more like body armor. But, I'd hoped they'd give Jun a uniform like the guys. She's chesty enough (at least here) for there to be no doubt in a full uniform that she was female.
To be honest, it does look like armor... from the waist below. from the neck up to the waistline, it looks kinda stretchy... if you look at Ryu and Joe, you can see their muscles. Jun, on the other hand, makes it look like her top's gonna rip apart... Jinpei, no extra features, since he's too small for a kid to have muscles...
I must say I do like the look of Ryu. Bulky, but not fat. More in line with his strength than his appetite...

I think the last two images were available at the San Diego Comic Con. The first being an image advertising the up and coming movie.
The second was a "screen" for people to stand in front of when they dressed as the Eagle and had their picture taken. Have a look at that thread from the Con and you can see that image in the background of all the pictures.

Once again, i managed to find some pics for the CG movie. This is kind of old, since the date on the pic says it was around 2006 to 2007. Anyway, Here's a pic of Jun and Ryu (at the lower corners)

Let's keep our hopes up!

Nice finds, Fang. I don't think I'd seen the Gatch/Astroboy poster before.
Since the movie in such...state of unknown...at the moment, my guess is that most, if not all, these concepts will not be used, or used as they are shown here. Which, for Jun, may be a good thing. She looks like she's more than a little top-heavy and I couldn't imagine her running from Goons effectively!! Then again, maybe that's one of the new KNT techniques. Have the Goons 
, and the ensuing battle/base explosion is even easier to dominate!

Someone needs to pay for that.Just ignore it, and it will go away. It pretty much has, actually. The movie came and went without making much of a splash, and the DVDs aren't exactly setting any sales records. By this time next year it will have been in the bargain bins for months and no one will remember it. So, don't get worked up over it. James

It seems to be all you "youngsters" who had problems distiguishing G-Force "the guinea pig movie" from the Gatch version. Maybe because that is what you know your version as.... me growing up on BOTP had no thoughts about it being the same thing when I heard it. Perhaps because my mind takes a while to "make connections" and by the time I associated the two I had already been told that the rodent movie had no connection.

Then I saw the commercials. Saw guinea pigs.
I think it's the associations we have. Some things just trigger us.
I, too, grew up on BotP but the second I heard 'G-Force' I was all a-quiver.. Never did like the title so I always called it G-Force....
Gatchamarie, we have an Eagle and a Condor. We need to assemble a Swan, a Swallow and an Owl and make plans to take down whomever it was that came up with that title! I'm taking it personally that it would be used for a movie about guinea pigs!

So far the movie's on a current state of silence. I recently talked to Felix Ip of Imagi, and he says that it's still a work in progress, but it's definitely being finished as we speak. That said, I'm sure somewhere this 2010, Felix and the rest of Imagi might release more (and hopefully PERMANENT) screenshots and art for the Gatch movie.

Hi all!
Bear in mind that all of those images are nothing more than test footage that was created while Kevin Munroe was working on the project (As are all of the images and videos that Imagi has shown). As such, they will all be scrapped when and if Imagi signs a new Director for the project.
So, don't become too attached to any visuals you've seen thus far regarding the film, since they're all going to be changed. And if there's something about them that you don't like, don't forget that the final product will look nothing like what you've seen, and might be improved in the redesign.
Or not. Time will tell.

James is right- these are stills from the stuff Imagi had in their booth 2 years ago...but they're still fun to look at. I have some more screen shots from last year's footage, too- but I think you've all seen those.

If Imagi does manage to pull itself together and produce this film, it would be good to have a proper section to discuss it. The same goes for the live-action film by Nikkatsu, should that ever move out of its current state of limbo. And let's not forget, Gatchaman has already had three appearances in movie theaters in the past! So, yeah, a section for those would probably not be a bad idea. James

Hi all!
About those other appearances: any threads about them? Are the movies anywhere on-line? (I only know about them through the article in Wikipedia.)Not that I'm aware of. They tend to be fairly well ignored by many fans, probably due to a general lack of availability. The feature film was released on DVD in Japan, and was also released in France and Belgium with a French language dub/sub and Dutch subtitles. It has also had a release in Hong Kong with Chinese subtitles. If it's available online, I haven't seen it, but since I have the DVDs, it's not as though I've been looking for it. The Toho Champion Festival films haven't been seen since 1973 that I'm aware of. But, since those are essentially identical to the TV versions of those stories, it's not like we're missing much.

Hi everyone. I came across some comments from Felix's blog and Patrick Awa (concept artist for the movie) had this to say:
"Farewell to them"
I don't know what he meant by that, but what I do know is that things aren't looking too good with the movie
Hi all!
I don't know what he meant by thatMy impression was that Patrick had also left Imagi. I do not know if he was part of the layoffs or if he left after that, like Felix did, or if my impression is completely off base and he's still working for Imagi. It's also possible that his "Farewell to them" comment was meant as a goodbye to the Gatchaman characters, since the comment was posted to some Gatchaman art that Felix had posted.
but what I do know is that things aren't looking too good with the movieI know what you mean. Patrick and Felix's full comments do give the impression that they don't expect the movie to be made. From Patrick:
Farewell to them, I really liked the property but it maybe one of these movies that never meant to be made...Felix's Reply:
that's too sad about the project, there might be cursed... too sad.Of course, this is nothing that can be taken as an official statement that the movie won't be made. It's just comments between friends. Of course, those friends both worked for Imagi and therefore have a better grasp on the internal situation at the company that we do, so their comments do make you wonder. James

Ah, damn. This is sounding really bad for the movie ever being made.
I hope Imagi says something official about whatever they're doing, soon.
Makes me want to cry!

That's true.
Its a shame we're not millionaires to be able to make our own movie.
I've recently seen two shows, one about Star Trek fans and one about Star Wars fans. Some of them actually make their own fan movies. I haven't looked for them, but that would be sooooo much fun!
