My name is Martin. I've known about Gatchaman since 1995, but it was only a few weeks ago that I became a fan after pre-ordering Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and ever since I pre-ordered it, I've been hooked. Favorite two characters are Ken and Jun. I can't wait to play TvC, so I can have Ken on a team with Zero from Megaman X. Oh yeah, I heard about this place from reading a description on a fanart on deviantART by an artist named Springie, who I think is the BEST DAMN GATCHAMAN FANARTIST I've seen so far!

Welcome Martin!!! It is great you have found your way here. If you know about Deviant Art, does that mean you are an artist as well?

Nah, I can't draw for shit. But I do upload photos of me cosplaying at Anime conventions though, and some other miscellanious photos I take.

Welcome Martin. Yes, we all love Springie's art. How'd you find Gatchaman?

1995, when I saw G-Force on Cartoon Network (this was WAY before Cartoon Network hit it big with the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, etc. They were anything but well known back then), but back then I didn't like it (guess it was because I wasn't the anime geek I am today), and I watched an episode of BOTP on Anime Network on demand in 2005, but I didn't get into it right away, and it wouldn't be until December 2009 that I finally became a fan.

Welcome, Martin. - and it's taken a while, but we're glad you're part of the fandom. BTW: love the photos you posted! Great work at the costume.

I am so far!

Welcome man! I too have gotten into Gatchaman thanks to TvC

Hello Martin! I'm glad you found your way here from Deviant Art.

Martin ... I've greeted you in another thread which I have read before this but I'm going to greet you again! Another Eagle ... I'm rubbing my hands with pleasure! BTW ... I totally agree with your comment regarding Springie's art!

Sorry I'm late to the party, Darkwater, but it's great to see you here! And I completely agree about Springie. It looks like you've been having fun on the site, and I'm glad you've settled in! And as a Swan to an Eagle, I'll spot you a drink at the Snack J.
