Same big action stories and compelling characters...glad to hear that...but wondering what they will do to the characters and stories...
And smh...aimed at boys...not girls, too? Funny...the original series seems to have had an awful lot of girls interested in it. Why would they post such a sexist comment?
While I'd love to see a quality reboot...I am a bit nervous...

Is it possible to overuse the phrase "cautiously optimistic"? At any rate, that's how I still feel about this.
Thanks for the update, James!
I think the "for boys" is marketing and "positioning" speak but yeah, it's hard not to be annoyed by it. Our society is too concerned still with breaking things down for boys and for girls.
At least at this stage it sounds like it could be okay. I'll hold onto that.

It sounds like exciting news, however I will reserve judgement until the program is released. All I will say is I hope it doesn't get the 'Crowds' treatment.

Heh heh just realized they don't mean Phoenix, AZ! I was thinking, why would they have it set there? Duh!

My son used to be a big fan of Beyblade and I hate t say it was very obnoxious and syrupy. I hope they don't follow that example.

Redbird, let me guess: you resolved to make no New Year's resolutions?

I'll admit, I was amused by the idea that BOTP captured the minds of boys... when the current fan community has far more women than men! I agree, as kids, many boys watched the show, but it seems to have lasted longer (for the most part,. obviously there are exceptions) with the women.
Unless there's some secret male Gatchaman fans club of which I am completely unaware. Oh, James? Care to fill us in on this?
Seriously though, thanks, James for the latest update!
