I never saw that. Heh. Poor Joe. The show never really got into their personal lives, so he's perpetually identified as a 'Galactor-babe magnet.'

I haven't seen this in a while...I love it! I'd like to add in... Lava lamps make great special effects for cartoons! and When in doubt, weapons make great gifts for Science Ninjas!

I'd never seen these before! I'm trying to think of other things I've learned... 14. There's nothing strange about having green hair. 15. Bullets can't hurt you as long as you're turning cartwheels. 16. The main villain always has an escape pod and it's in his contract that the heroes can't attack it.

It has been a while since I have seen that. Thank you Green for introducing it again. I love the additions Springie and LB!

I hadn't seen that. I like the one about both Gatchaman and Kiss wearing the thigh high boots. I sometimes watch Gene Simons' Family Jewels reality show. He's a riot. An incredible business man.

Love your additions! I would like to add a qualifier to the 'there's nothing strange about having green hair' - if you're a really cool ninja chick who has a yo-yo of death. Personal experience tells me if you're not and you were actually trying to dye your blonde hair black, then yes, it's a little strange...

Thanks for sharing these with us, Green! I never saw them and they're great! Also great additions! May I add ... - if you're a woman and get slapped in the face ... don't return it, just say "thank you!" - (mostly from the Gatch F point of view) if you're a villain, keep showing you're cool by drinking wine all the time! - if there's nothing else to fight for with your mates, just fight about who will offer to sacrifice his/her life next! - if you love or care so much for somebody, cherish them as much as you can, when you can ... they won't stay around for long! - saving a dog's life carries a lot of consequences with it ... saving the Earth carries much more! - never grumble over a bad hair day ... if you're a member of the SNT you'll always look good! - the SNT will never die ... they will always live in our hearts (translated from the last episode of Gatch F)

Uh oh! Is that, by any chance, why your name here is "green"?

Good ones, Gatchamarie!

This one really has me chuckling, making me think of Gatch II's ep 13 where Ken is all ready to undertake the suicidal mission, until Joe punches him out so that he can do it instead, and then Kathy the cyborg stuns Joe so that she can be the one to die... I can just imagine them all arguing "It's my turn to die!" "No, I want to do it!" "No fair, it should be me!"

You know, I hadn't thought of that... It actually comes from a screen name I use, and not to mention it is my favourite colour.... Personally, I didn't mind having green hair. My parents, on the other hand, were mortified lol

Funny how parents are! One thing I've noticed about anime, though -if you watch enough of it, any hair colour starts to look normal...

Yes ... that episode does reflect this aspect quite well, doesn't it?! And this attitude continues to run steady to the very end of the Gatch F series!

That happens to me also! I tend to accept any hair color in anime but I still find the same colors strange when seeing them on real people's heads!

Green I haven't seen it! I thought you wrote it for a moment. Thanks for sharing!

I guess I do not watch enough anime to see this. I tend to be the opposite, I don't find it that unusual to see strange colours on peoples heads. But then maybe that is because I work in a school with pre-teens and they like to colour their hair all sorts of weird colours. I tend to over look it these days although I do wonder sometimes what their parents were thinking to allow it.

Me too. I also learned that a Nissan Skyline GTR is a very desirable car.

Too funny! Great find, Green!

I haven't read all of the replies since I haven't seen the entire first series yet and don't want things spoiled but heres one I think it's funny: Joe REALLY likes bird missiles....like a lot. More like an unhealthy obsession. :p

You will have to be careful around here, as there are no "spoiler free" threads. In my case, I'd read so much about Gatchaman on the internet that by the time I saw all the episodes, I knew all the major things that were going to happen. Sometimes I wish I hadn't done that, but then, it was reading about the series that got me keen enough to order the first couple DVDs and start watching it. The second anime series I watched, Fullmetal Alchemist, I scrupulously avoided reading about it until I'd watched the whole thing!

Yea, I'm being careful. If it does happen though, its pretty much expected this being a 38 year old series, so I'm not going to worry about it too much. Speaking of series, if someone spoiled Cowboy Bebop for me before I got to watch the end, THEN I would be mad. :p

The dreaded double post.

John, for you - spoiler alert!!!! I remember when I found out about Gatchaman after only watching BotP and a little of G-Force, I was horrified to learn Joe had died at the end of Gatchaman - didn't find Gatch II and F until later to know that wasn't quite correct. All I could think about was Jason dieing, because I'd only seen 79 of the 85 eposiodes. Took me a while to learn they'd left 20 episodes out of BotP.
