Hey everyone!! I finally found a Gatchaman Forum LOL... I've been a fan for what feels like forever!! since the early 80's I remember running around with a towel around my neck and my home made bracelet saying "transmute" LOL. i've always remembered this cartoon, when i attended university the internet was becoming really informative and I was looking up this cartoon and found out its japanese name and was even more into the anime. I watched and researched all things gatchaman and its been so since. I was so hooked into the 'violence' of it. I love Gatchaman so much and always will. Looking forward to reading more and connecting to the rest of these forum members! thanks!!

Yay, it's great to see you here too, hope you have fun joining in with the various threads. We are a friendly bunch, (Honestly)

Welcome! Glad you found our happy little asylum. KT's right -- we don't bite (unless you want us to!) I hope you have fun.

Yup, asylum sums it up all right! Don't worry, you'll get used to us!

Welcome, welcome, welcome yet again! I love how similar many of our journeys were in falling in love with BOTP and then Gatchaman.

G'day welcome to the madness (Biting? -KT EW are we off to the rubber room...again?) LW hangs her head - "so many forms and waivers to fill out, for a little bit of fun"

Again Welcome, GatchamanR. Your story sounds very familiar to many people's, including my own, who are on this site. I am glad you found us and look forward to seeing you participating in some of the other threads.

Welcome GatchamanR, I had flashbacks to my childhood too when myself and my siblings would act out various episodes of Battle of the Planets (of course that was late 70's, lol) I even giggled at the episode where the kids dressed up in pots and chicken feathers So glad you found this wonderful site. It will be fun getting to know you and your love of the shows.

BTW loved your t-shirt

AWW thanks my fellow Gatchamaniacs, LOL. I definitely am looking forward to reading and interacting with the rest of you biters. You all sound like a fun crazy group of people!! @Pufles65- yes I love that shirt, I bought in Japan at Uniqlo a couple of years ago!! I am excited to be part of this Asylum!!! Thanks again!!!

Lucky the only time I was in Japan was the airport going from Korea and back again. I was stationed in Korea for a year back in 06/07. I can't wait until I finally get to visit there someday. I'd even like to go back to Korea

Hello and welcome to Gatchamania! I could have sworn I responded to this thread before but maybe I am just losing the plot!

Hi GatchamanR, great to see you here! I'm glad you've found us! Sorry for my late response. I was at Comic Con last week meeting up with other Gatchafans.

Welcome GatchamanR! I am still on vacation, but had a chance to say, "Hi!" We're glad you are here!

Welcome to our little oasis of Gatchamaniac insanity! Pull up a chair, have a drink and dive right into the conversations.

Welcome, GatchamanR! This is a fun place to hang out and discuss one of the best animated stories of all time! (Who, me, biased? Nah ... not a bit! lol) Love the shirt ... lucky you for having been to Japan! I would love to go, but I don't think I could sit in a plane for that long. They would most likely throw me out somewhere over the Arctic Circle ...
