Re: First Impressions

Thanks for the warning, though I think I know what you're talking about already, I got spoiled for that reveal when I was looking up Gatchaman for the first time. I'm actually very interested in older media's depictions of transness, even when it's considered offensive by today's standards I still f...

Re: First Impressions

SOOOO apologies for the roughly two year break here, I got distracted by a lot of other things. But it’d be a shame if I left the series unfinished, especially so far in. I also met a friend who’s really into Gatchaman so the interest got reignited. The first bullet point I wrote back then, but the ...

Re: First Impressions

As expected Psychonauts 2 totally consumed my life, I took a decent break there but I’m back to watching Gatchaman! Starting back on episode 68... -Joe HAS A BED confirmed -Almost a face reveal for Katse! There was some really nice animation during that bit, really cool. Also interesting that Leader...

Re: First Impressions

-Man, the overarching plot is getting pretty heavy now. The emotional impact of Red Impulse’s death on Ken is REALLY well felt in those subsequent episodes (starting to think that wasn’t a fake out… oops). -Truly love that they’re still asking “but are we SURE it’s Galactor??” WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE… ...

Re: First Impressions

BYE RED IMPULSE... Ok I don't really think he's dead but I'd be very impressed if that's where this show went. But they've been stringing the whole thing on for so long I'd be surprised if that was Red Impulse's final appearance. As a sidenote since I don't have much else to say... If you guys liked...

Re: First Impressions

HI EPISODE 52??? I'm so used to everything being taken care of in one episode I saw the remaining time like "damn how are they gonna fix this in like a minute??" AND THEN THEY... DIDN'T. Lol but it's cool that they're getting to stretch the story out for longer now, it's allowing for a lot...

Re: First Impressions

Finished episode 50 the other day. I’m slowing down on episodes, I moved back home from college recently and have been working again, plus new episodes of Bakugan means I’m getting dragged back into that interest (yes, I wholeheartedly love the reboot in all its cheesy glory). -Ok while searching fo...

Re: Why adapt so heavily?

The main reason Battle of the Planets was so heavily edited was due to violence. Gatchaman depicted a lot of action that was not permissible on US television. When it was adapted by Sandy Frank, much of the physical action, explosions that showed people getting shredded, guns being fired at charact...

Why adapt so heavily?

I know english dubs of anime tended to change a lot of things back in the day, but Battle of the Planets has a TON of work put into it. Extra characters, new animations, heavy edits- it's a completely different show than Gatchaman. I don't have anything against the adaptation itself, but why go thro...

Re: First Impressions

OK WELL after that two parter I have more thoughts!! Before this I didn't have too much evidence to go on so I put this idea on the backburner, but now I'm a little more sure of it: I feel like we're gonna get some sort of sympathetic look at Berg Katse, seeing that Galactor's getting more n more fr...
