Hi. Since I'm new here - and to forums in general - "introductions" seemed a great place to start! So, a bit about me. I live in Australia, where there don't appear to be a lot of people who know what Gatchaman is. I first came to this crazy fandom through Battle of the Planets when I was very young. I recall playing with the older boys at pre-school, so maybe 4 years old. I always wanted to be Jason, but the boys insisted I was a girl, so I had to be Princess! I discovered Gatchaman in my twenties and immediately fell in love with the original version of the show, and the characters, especially Joe. When I reached episode 105 it brought me to tears! This year I have finally been able to see Gatchaman II, and Fighter. Over the last 12 months I have been discovering all the awesome fan fiction you guys have been writing, which has inspired me to write some stuff of my own. I'm looking forward to being part of a community that will understand my love of all that is Gatchaman!

Welcome to the asylum! Feel free to wander around, ask questions or whatever -- we won't bite unless you ask us to!

Yay, glad to see you made it here at last. Welcome, feel free to join in and have fun. We're all (mostly) friendly

Welcome Mate! Don't be so certain as to the quantity of BotP / KNTGatchaman fans down under. When I lived in Melbourne, I did manage to find one or two others... That - and there is at least one other Aussie active in these online conversations!

Welcome. So many of us got into Gatchaman through BOTP as kids! It's fun to have that in common!

Hola! Welcome!!! It's nice to have you here. Don't think wrong, in the English speaking world there are many Gatvhaman fans. It's in the Spanish speaking countries that we are a rare specie!!! Nobody knows the show or manga!

Welcome, Katblu! Feel free to check out/ add to any of the threads around here... even if they are older posts!

Welcome to the craziness Katblu42! Always good to have another Condor fan around! Hope you enjoy your time here!

I many not be as active as I would like, but it's good to see another Aussie on the site

Great to see you here, Katblu! I'm glad you were able to get your account set up.

Welcome, Katblu! I'm not an Aussie but I lived there as a teenager -- it's always good to meet more, mate!

I hope to share with you . . . as soon as I figure out how to do that! Thanks for all the welcoming messages guys!!

Hi Katblu42 its great to see another Aussie around here! Looking forward to seeing your posts. I'm yet to see some of later versions (since the kids took over the TV for a while.) I'm a Swan of course and as girl I loved Mark, later I love both the Eagle and the Condor.
