I love Solaris/Katse in the OAV's - absolutely wonderful characterisation whether in English or Japanese and with some wonderful detail!

I like how Galactor is actually competent with this one - and am in awe of the numbers in Rat Bastard's squadron....

But I must admit, to be totally drooling over Joe......

I actually like the OAV's - well except for Ken the dork and Nambu the Pimp.

I think Joe had the best characterization in the OAVs. He may have been a bit TOO brooding for my taste, but it was still a good fit for the OAV. Let's be honest though, the OAV series was prettymuch all about the eye candy and not so much deep character development. It was a neat little update, but no match for the original series imo.

And Nambu's new sideburns could put an eye out! Poke

You're totally right, Raggletag. that's why I call the OAVs 'Gatchaman with the LOTR treatment'! Wink

I saw only the first episode. I'm a big fan of Gatchaman I, and I would prefer if they would not redesign the characters too much. I agree about Jinpei and Joe. They came out good, and I don't like too much Ken and Jun. I'm not sure if I want to see the rest of OAV.

TJ, what does "LOTR treatment" mean? (question from a non native English person - I don't understand some things Elfconfused1 )

LOTR = Lord of the Rings

What I meant by that was that the LOTR movies are beautiful, but underneath it's just a bunch of wooden, uninspiring characters.

I tried listening to the OAVs dubbed version first, but like the Gatchaman dubbed version, I hated it, the sub version is much better.

Nambu looks like he's from the early 70s wherre fashion disappeared for several years.

Katse was probably my favourite charactor as he/she wasn't so much of a cowardly idiot as in the Gatchaman or BOTP. Also there was a fleet of those mechs which was a good idea.

I think having the Jupiter ninjas was stupid and they should have the Blackbird ninjas and as for the Red Impulse army, well.........

I think I will watch them again.

What I loved was the fact that Red Impulse HAD an army. I do not think only three men could do what they did in the original series. That was one thing I liked about the OAVs.

It sounds like I am one of the few who liked Ken's clean haircut. What I did not like was the sharp angular boyish/feminine face.

They also had flat faces. Typicaly to the animes today! They looked better in the originals. Even Katse.

I agree. Ken was way too boy-band. I wasn't thrilled with Ryu, uh I mean Rocky, either. Too California surfer for me.... (no offense TJ!). Nambu - I won't go even go there... And Jun, well, let's just say that OVA Jun would have fit into parts of Ebony's Lightening story very well... Big Grin

I did like OVA Joe and Jinpei though. Well, I liked how OVA Joe was drawn (minus the flatness, as Amy mentioned). I thought the character of Jinpei was more realistic - he acted more like a 10-year-old and I thought the computer hacker was a nice touch, since most 10-year-olds know more about computers these days than most adults!

Of course I only saw the first ep on YouTube, so I could be off base with my thoughts. Maybe someday I'll see the other 2 eps!

OAVs, wow havent watched those in FOREVER! we were obsessed when they first came out on VHS, it was the only Gatchaman thing we ever could get back in 1996, when we bought them.

I liked Joe, it gave him a sort of edge, and I actually didnt mind his voice either. (of course the only other version I had seen at that point was G-force) what i liked about the OAVs is it allowed each character to have a lil more individualism at least in their outfits and hair styles. I mean, I love the original Gatchaman BEST, but would they REALLY all dress like that, with the numbers on their shirts? prob not....

Now that I watch it, I think I acutally like Katse, (solaris) better than the original. Cooler looking.

Hated how they did Ryu......ugh..... really purple hair? REALLY? i def prefer his crazy unbrushed hair!!! Big Grin
