As a young teenager (female), I was convinced that in BOTP Princess was interested in Mark in more ways than Mark was interested in her. He was attracted to her, but she was the one pushing. But, I'm watching the series again, and I'm seeing it as the exact opposite. He flirts with her, sends her messages, tells her he's attracted to her. She's sorta shy about the whole thing. No mention at all about teammates shouldn't be doing such things. So, is this yet another instance of my uniqueness, or is it common?

its just you

Now my curiosity is piqued. I'll have to find some eps and view them again!

Doe's anyone know where I can get a hold of the original eps? I may as well see what all the fuss is about afterall

Those bootlegged box sets that keep on appearing on Ebay (and is it discountanimedvd.com) are a cheaper than most way to see it. Or the Rhino DVDs have Gatch eps on as well as BOTP and they have far superior subtitles to the bootlegs. And they're legal.

I cannot really answer your question as I need to re-watch my Rhino Box Set DVD's and do a little Mark and Princess research... But, I do know this much. While watching the series back in the late 70's, I easily picked up on the subtle looks and gestures that Princess gave Mark. I kind of thought that Mark felt the same way, although he didn't show it. I was only 8 years old at the time, a child that didn't really understand the dynamics of men and women and relationships. It was the first time I really remember that boys could like girls and girls could like boys. I also remember having 'strange' feelings for Mark.... In any case, the Boomerang Network is airing a BOtP 24 hour marathon on April 25th. I have my DVR all ready to start downloading it onto its hard drive so that I can copy them all over to VHS. So, I will have plenty of hours of research ahead of me!

Mark takes after his Father, -all duty and no balls (or brain for that matter.) He will never make a family man. Too self centered. Princess had better wait until Keyop gets a little bigger, -there one man who does do things for her.

i remember * running * home from school so that i wouldn't miss it. when it got changed from showing in the afternoon to showing at 7:00 in the morning, i even got up early for it. and for me, that was amazing. my mother was usually still trying to shake me away fifteen minutes before i had to leave for school. so you can see the depth of my hero worship. i thought for * sure * Mark and Princess were going to kiss at some point. because of that, i always picked Jason as my favorite. now that am older and working my way through Gatchaman, i think i can safely say would not kick either of them out of bed.

Oh really? I thought you'd threaten to commit homicide if any of them dare to leave without being dismissed. Mei

Cheers Condor! I'll take a peek

Big Ten, Cep! http://www.sendit.com/video/item/7000000090230 Um...did you mean BotP or Gatch? If you meant Gatch, there's a brand new subtitled set coming out soon, with GOOD translations and all the names correct!

That BOTP box set is at least £10 cheaper from amazon.co.uk.... And I have already started saving up for the legitimate subtitled Gatch from ADV. Wish I knew more about their release plans & schedule though.

Cep, its £65 from your local WH Smiths....

Woot! I'll go fetch em next week with me vouchers!

Thanks for the link for Gatchaman EP's unfortunately I dont use paypal so I cant get them through there

Looks like we made a convert here!

Probably need to wait and see if he enjoys it first...

Your right.....perhaps its too big a dose at once...nigh on 30 hours footage I, personaly, would never be able to take more than 12 at a time.
