Ah, we digress!
That's because we've kind of changed the thread Wet! If you read the messages from the top you'll understand! Mal and I have now degenerated into a fond reminisce of a top TV manga series from our childhood! But that's the way it goes sometimes!

Re: Characters
I recently bought the Japanese DVD (Ninja Science Team Gatchaman). No subtitles, but it doesn't matter. It's still easy to follow,and with the added bonus of no 7-Zark-7 or 1-Rover-1.
Princess. Tiny. Keyop. Mark. Jason - and watching over them from Centre Neptune their computerised co-ordinator 7-Zark-7! Watching, warning against surprise attacks by alien galaxies beyond space! Fearless young orphans, protecting Earth's entire galaxy Always five, acting as one. Dedicated, inseparable, invincible!Originally posted by Lexx
I remember most of the names, Keeop, 7zark7 and 1rover1, but one still eludes me.
What was the girl in the swan costume called? *grin*

Wow!
Yeah! That's right! Tiny was the big guy! I heard rumours that they had lost the original English soundtrack. I saw the redubbed English version repackaged and called G-Force. It was pants! I'm relieved to say I have since seen some of the original BOTP on satelite.
I'd buy it on video if they did a dubbed or subtitled version.
I started off my Manga collection with Urotosukidoji. Wow, that was one big eye opener! I had no idea what I had let myself in for!
I recommend Legend of the Four Kings as well.
(This is turning into a Manga thread - I'm so sorry!)

Re: Wow!
If you're interested in good stuff from Manga, I recommend Battle Angel Alita, Appleseed, Patlabor, Ghost int he Shell or Wings of Honneamise. From other anime publishers, I'd suggest Bubblegum Crisis, Gunbusters or Urusei Yatsura (my favourite).
Nothing wrong wiht manga. Unless, of course, you're recommending Urotsukidoji; unmitigated shite doesn't even begin to cover it.Originally posted by Lexx

Fair enough
I have Ghost in the Shell, yes it's good. I am not interested in amassing a huge Manga collection, so although stuff like Gyver is good, I would not be rushing out to buy it.
I can't afford to buy collections that large. Ghost was good because it's one tape! Legend is also good bacause it's on six! (rather small for a Manga series!)

Re: Fair enough
As for collecting; surely you've got a video rental place that can accommodate?
I wouldn't go as far as to call Guyver "good"; one average story repeated twelve times, perhaps. Most of the best anime are available on single disks (or tapes); if you want a short series, Ushio and Tora is a mere six episodes,and is great fun. Bubblegum Crisis is eight episodes (don't watch Bubblegum Crash).Originally posted by Lexx

I have to say though I'm upset with TNT !!!
DAMN THAT STATION! I saw an episode of Battle of the Planets not too long ago on TnT (a Turner network...blah!) and the title (which I forget, thank god) was changed and all the names and original dunning was changed to some horrific mess! TINY was now named HOOTIE (ARGH!) and though I forget everyone else's names I know they wer god-awful. I really don't understand why the changes but they sucked.....

That God awful remake!
It was redubbed and repackaged as "G-Force". The story I heard was they lost the original audio tracks. I was gutted! I have since seen some of the originals on Cable, so some of them must have survived. I've also been told the original Japanese is much darker. I'm keen to find a copy now!
