I came across this on the web. Does anyone know which Gatchaman this is?

I am only presuming only by what it says, but I think it's the first one as it describes Galactor as a new threat and Nambu "unleases" the SNT and it says 105 episodes.

105 episodes means that it is the Gatchaman 1 series.

I remember coming across that a couple of years ago when I was looking for a Gatchaman II and Gatchaman F on DVD with English subtitles. ADV did the English dub which I prefer because I like the actors for the voices.

Since it says episodes 1 - 105 I would think it's Gatch I also.

I was thinking that too, but sort of hoping it was Gatch II. Thank you guys.

FTR, Gatch II has 52 episodes and Gatch F has 48 episodes. So even if it was both of those series together, it would be 100 episodes.

When I first saw the pic, I was hoping it was Gatch II as well. Pity.

ITA it's a pity that I doubt it's Gatch 2 or Fighter.

Hi all! I can confirm that those are a first series set. I remember when they came out back around 2001. They're a Hong Kong bootleg set. They are subtitled, but the translations are very rough. You're better off spending your money buying the ADV releases. James

Is this the version where Ken, Joe, Jun, Jinpei and Ryu are Sean, Alex, Jenny, Sting and Dragon?

Hi all! Yep, that's the one! James

With all these different names, I am surprised that they don't have multi peronality problems

Somehow I feel inspired to post one of Sosai X's Gatchafunnies:

Interesting. The new member who was posting for a while this summer, JasonvsEveryone, this was the version that he had acquired. I'm assuming that it costs much less than the ADV version (which is what I have)?

Hi all! Yes, it does cost substantially less, but one major trade off for that lower price is lower quality video. The Hong Kong discs cram the entire series onto far fewer discs (9 of them, if I remember correctly. Three discs with 35 episodes total per box), and to do so they have a far greater compression rate than the higher quality Nippon Columbia or ADV releases. James

Thank you for the info James! I'm glad I invested in the ADV version

And so we all I think after reading that bit of information.. Thanks James.

I'm glad I was able to afford the complete ADV collection, but if I weren't, and also couldn't rent it, I would settle for this one rather than not see Gatchaman at all. It's good, I suppose, that there are lower cost options out there.

Who thinks up the new names and how sober are they? Thanks TJ for the laugh!

Those are some names, all right; taking the weird factor up another notch. Somebody wrote a hilarious crossover fic involving the original team, the BotP team, the G-force team, the OAV team, and the Eagle Riders team all getting shuffled, and having to work together to defeat the villains (namely, all of the villains, who weren't getting along all that well either) and restore the boundaries between their separate universes. It was hilarious! And of course I can't remember the title or the author. :/ I know I found it on one of the older Gatch fic archive sites; I think the site is defunct, but the material should have gotten moved to one of the current sites. I'll have to look for it.

Please do and can you imagine all the rest of them, excluding the BOTP team, have to work with Zark.

I don't think this is the same one, but Ali wrote a cross-over fic (and follow-up) years ago featuring the different Universes meeting up when Saban bought the rights and created Eagle Riders. If anyone needs a good laugh, I highly suggest reading it. Collision Course

Although I not a fan of fan fics, I will be certainely reading that one Hino. Thanks.

I remember reading some crossover fic, but it's been a long time back. Will have to check that one out sometime Hino, also Barrdwings when she remembers hers.

I would like to share, probably the funniest line I have ever read, so please forgive me for sharing this spoiler. JASON : Listen, Ken. You didn't have a talking peanut dispenser that looks like a metal Mr. Potato Head monitoring your every move who has a tin-can of a dog that eats bolts. I was and will always be laughing thinking of that line.

A damm funny fic. Will need a new one after the film comes out (if it ever comes out).
