I ran across this in my search for more pics... Goodbye, Gatchaman

That's a shame, but not unexpected. Maybe some other company will take it up. There's still the live action film, right?

I'm not surprised, but I am still hoping someone else might pick up the property.

Sad news and looks likely from the sounds of it. Hopefully someone picks it up, especially if the movie is close to being completed.

Well companies come and go, and then eventually someone buys the rights so they can pay off some of their depts. Hopefully someone worthy of "Gatchaman" does just that!

That's sad but as everyone said, not unexpected! Hope someone will listen to our prayers some day! Gatchaman is not a thing to throw away and has great potential ... and I think that many other companies know that! If other old series have seen the light then Gatchaman will too for sure!

Imagi has too many deviations from the canon (for example, criminal Joe or black-skin Nambu). There are things those true Gatchaman don`t forgive, so don`t believe in news about bankruptcy, actually the studio was destroyed by Bird Missle.

LOL, i like your interpretation, Yul!

Yul... I could just see Joe Merrily firing away... "Do they really think I'm a criminal? I'll give them criminal!!! Could they at least try to get out characteristic right...its hard enough reading fanfic some days... I might be a tough guy...but I'm a GOOD tough guy, a little pissed off perhaps..." Jun rolls her eyes and sighs heavily... Ken gingerly pushs Joes hand of the red button "Joe... Stop making it worse for all of us!!! Thye might just decide to make you into a Galactor agent at the beginning of the movie who defects-" Gulp... I have feather dart poised at my hands as I'm typing... terror stikes me...Joe is standing right behind me in full birdstyle..."Sorry Joe, got a little carried away..."

Good thinking, Yul! This time Dr Nambu did not have to think twice in order to give the go ahead! He was already pissed off by his earlier makeover in the OAVs!

I suppose you guys are right. Maybe it's not all a bad thing if we were getting a cannibalized version.

Whoever picks it up should scrap everything that came before. Don't try to save it. Maybe look it over, just to satisfy curiosity. Then wander over to the fan sites and see what people are saying. What do they like about Gatchaman, and why? Find the common things. They can't please everyone, of course, but if they have a handle on why people like the show, they'd have an idea of what they can do with the characters. That way, we won't have oddities such as Joe the gun-runner (or whatever) and an afro-sporting Dr. Nambu.
