I'm so happy to be here! I grew up with BOTP, it helped me escape when I was a kid and then I found Gatchaman and fell in love all over again in my thirties!(A Loooong time ago Looking forward to hangin with you guys!

Welcome to the asylum! You'll find we're a friendly bunch here, and we've had all our shots!

Welcome!! I think you'll find that we are a friendly bunch...and there are several of us here (including me) who have the same story (BOTP first and then Gatchaman). Good to have you with us!

Welcome E.D.! Enjoy yourself here, and jump in and post in any other thread that interests you.

Welcome, Sai... I'm glad we are well met on the path...

Hi ED - nice to meet you.

Hi ED, and Welcome Love your avatar, where did you find it?

Hello, ED. I'm a newbie too.

Welcome to the board, ED! Hope you enjoy it here!

Hello there. We're happy to have you here as well. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome!!! I followed the same path, too, BOTP to Gatchaman.

Hi ED! I think a lot of us did - at least those of us in the States. Jump right in. The more the merrier!

Thanks! It's Alex Ross! This was artwork he did for the dvd set, the 11th dvd is Hakase. He was kind enough to include the overlay with it! Best gift ever!

Ja, ich spreche Deutsch, aber ich bin eine Tschechin. (Ich lebe ziemlich nah zu den Grenzen). Deutsch ist eine wunderbare Sprache für Poesie. (never thought I would use my rusty German on Gatchamania. It makes me feel kind of warm inside.) Anyways, have a great time here.

Welcome to the boards!

Thank you, Cep!

A warm welcome, ED! So glad you've joined the gang! Differently from you I grew up watching Gatchaman during my childhood, instead! Between childhood and adulthood there was a period in time during which I had been separated from the series, but then my love for it rekindled itself again when I've found and joined this group! Since then I became a bit more familiar with BotP and ... why not? ... I can say that Gatchaman is still an escape for me, too, now that I'm all grown up!

Welcome, ED! Sorry for the late post, however I was away this past weekend and unable to be on the site. Interestingly, the last time we had someone new join the site, it was a weekend when I was away as well. Now I'm getting a complex.... Seriously though, it's great to see you here and I hope you have a lot of fun exploring the site!

Thank you ladies! I'm looking forward to learning more about BOTP! I think I've forgotten a lot about the series! (As soon as I finish gatch II on the you tube!)

Hello from me also, ED! Just got back to an internet connection, I was travelling for a few days. Are you a Hakase fan? I love him -- although in his Anderson self!

Hakase IS my favorite character! I like Anderson too though, I'd Have a hard time choosing....
