Hi everyone! I grew up in the 70s in the UK, every kid watched BOTP and as many of you have with the wonders of the internet found Gatchaman, saying that I knew it was Gatchaman back in the early 90s when my friend ran a comic/anime/importing shop - but I had to wait till I could see it fully! BOTP had some good intro music and good voices, but you can't really beat the intended , unsanitized real thing. I recemtly got the itch to make a design for a tshirt based around one of the animation frames of the intro, its up for sale. not sure what part of the board to post that on. Anyway I better fly!

Hi Mikiex, Yay another Brit joins the clan.. welcome to the madness that is Gatchamania, I promise we won't bite, (well most of us won't anyway) ((actually, make that some of us won't bite, unless you want us to! )) I'm sure I can vouch for everyone when I say we'd love to see your T-shirt design. You can post pics here, or post a link to a site where the shirt can be viewed. hope to see more post from you around the forum! have fun

Thank you for the Welcome KT1972 Here is a link to the T shirt, I might do a few more designs, I love the vehicles and other characters. http://www.redbubble.com/people/mikiex/works/8872530-gatchaman-ken-the-eagle I also encorage anyone else to give it a go designing a Tshirt on Redbubble, its a print on demand service which is pretty good quality. I may also do some screen prints at some point myself, but those will be 2 or 3 colours only.

'Ello! I hope you'll feel free to enjoy the insanity here (as well as create some of your own!) By the way, I like the t-shirt design.

Welcome Mikiex !!! It has been a while since we have frisked .... sorry greeted a new member. Pull up a stool, order a drink. The first one is free, after that if you are nice Jun might set you up with a tab. Nice looking shirt design, BTW.

Welcome to the site and enjoy your stay!

Welcome!

Welcome! Nice looking shirt! Thanks for showing me that site...I'd love to try it some time!! I, too, started on BOTP, but fell in love with Gatchaman! We're glad to have you with us!

Welcome! Like many others, I too started out as a kid watching BOTP. Love the t-shirt design, and the fact that you can get the shirt in such a wide range of colours!

Hi Mikiex! I've seen the Gatchaman shirts on RedBubble before, but not yours. It must be new! It looks great! I agree with you: I grew up with BOTP (and it holds a sentimental place in my heart) but having now seen the original Gatchaman, that's the one for me! Welcome to the board!

G'day Welcome to the mania, love the t'shirt, will definetly put redbubble on my list of things to try I also started with BOTP, and moved on to Gatchaman

Hi Mikiex! And thanks for posting the link to the tee-shirt, great idea! As others have said already, to go on the to-do-and-buy list! Anyways, I hope you have fun with us here, as you can see, fun is what we do!

Thanks for the complments about the tshirt and saying Hi, I'm getting a t-shirt myself, so when I get it I will post a picture of it! The next design Im doing will be Mad max 2, but I want to return to Gatchaman and maybe do one with all the vehicles on.

Here is it in the wild

oh, wow, That is neat! Thanks for the pic, Mikiex

Wow! That is cool! I wonder how many people will see it when you wear it and think "gee, that looks just like a show I used to watch when I was a kid ...." Thanks for sharing, Mikiex, and welcome!

Awesome shirt. Thanks for sharing the pic and welcome. I've been a way for a while but hope to see you around here.

Puffles, welcome back! I hope you are able to stick around again. I know I feel like I am finally settling in again, maybe because my life feels like it is getting back on track again.

I know the feeling after school finished I feel so disorientated and not sure of myself on looking for a job. I packed on another 25 lbs since Feb and it isn't going anywhere. So my confidence is very low and I'm afraid to go out on an interview. I know I'll get over it just coming to terms with being retired. LOL

Welcome Mikiex! And cool shirt! Nice to see another gentleman join our merry band! Now Ste and Cep won't feel so solitary!

That looks great, Mikiex!

OH wow!!! that shirt is great, I was at Anime Expo like ten years ago and I found a huge cell of that graphic, it was so expensive and i really really wanted to buy it, i went back the next day and it was sold, gone, i missed my chance, i was so sad!!! that shirt is awesome!!! long live gatchaman!!!

oh BTW welcome!!! i am a new member as well!!

Welcome from one Eagle to another!

welcome to all new members whatever clan they belong to!!

Welcome GatchamanR nice to see another Eagle around. I see you live in Southern California, did you make it to Comic Con this year? It was very busy, but an enjoyable time was had by all the Gatchaman Fans who met for lunch under the Sails.

Welcome back from the comic con, I look forward to hearing all about your experiences when you get time to settle. If nothing else I look forward to Bird Scramble next month for all the reviews.

Alas, I was unable to attend Comic Con this year, I have been to the "GatchaCon" on a couple of occasions and have a couple of the shirts. I was wondering if they still did the gatherings there!! I wish i was there but the Tix are so impossible to get now!!

Welcome to the site

GatchamanR, whenever you can come, we'd love to see you! Yes, the Gatchaman group still meets under the Sails almost every day around lunchtime. That's interesting that you say that you weren't at the Con, because I ran into a guy wearing the Uniqulo shirt while I was there! I was wondering if it was you, but I guess not.
