Hi all, Tatsunoko announced on February 22nd, that a new Gatchaman-related campaign will begin soon. If you've ever wished to see our favorite bird team done in cat form, well, wish granted! Gatchanyan is on the way. It will be the first entry in what's being called the "Creanyaa Project" (Creative + nyaa) where various designers will do mash-ups of famous animation characters as cats. Our beloved Ninja Team will be called, "Science Ninnya Team Gatchanyan." What's all this "Nya / nyaa" business? For anyone unaware, "Nyaa" is the Japanese onomatopoeic or mimetic word for "Meow." We could even call it "Gatchameow" and it would still work. Here is the first promotional image of the Ninnya Team - "Gatchanyan Design 001" by Naomi Iwata: More details about the project will be coming on April 1. No, I do not think it is an April Fool's joke. Press Release (Japanese) Naomi Iwata's Site (English) More soon, The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

That's just so wrong.

It kind of reminds me of Samurai Pizza Cats.

It's kinda cute.

Their design reminds me of Hoops and Yoyo

Jinpei looks more like a squirrel.

Who will look like Grumpy Cat? At least have the guys look more male. There are some cats that you look at and can just tell they're male. This makes me think about Disney's Aristocats.

Hoo boy, Becky, you've left yourself wide open with that one! There's a reason why one of the young male Kangaroos around here is named Fluffy Dice, and it isn't because he drives a 1970's model Chrysler Valiant.

Fluffy Dice? Really? Joe could be the Cat From Hell. Look out Katse!

That seems to be a bit uncomfortable, having big cubes down there instead of a more traditional shape...

Is it just me or is there a conflict of interest here. Birds and cats usually aren't the best since cats love to hunt birds. Shouldn't Galactor be the cats??? I think I need some sleep its doing my head in... that just goes against all logic... but it is cute birdie ...ahhh... kitties... ... lol
