Gatchaman OP

[Retrospectives]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH GATCHAMAN. GATCHAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAN.

[megaben99]

is it true that g force's story line is the same as the japan version? i heard the battle of the planets was edited and g force was not. i wish they would have sticked with the japan storyline (his name is ken the hawk not ace)

@megaben99

since 'Battle of the Planets' was the edited version, owing to the tighter regulations of the 1970s, Number One's name probably is Ace and not Ken - although i much prefer the earlier names.

@yomammascan one time i was on amazon.com and i found the entire gatchaman f series, not gatchaman, gatchaman fighter from the first to the last, and i think it was in japanese with english subs. but, i did not buy it because it was OVER $1000!!!!! no really it was $1000. whoever was trying to sell it, obviously did not know no one these days could afford it in this economy. for a box set, it was expensive. anyways thanks for replying.

greatest thing ever made

I get what thecpoc is saying. The characters in anime are very generic looking, therefore you can argue for days whether they look asian or white. In reality, it's impossible to find a Live Action actor that looks exactly like an anime character, because anime characters have extremely general features.

So yea, you'll associate them with whatever the "Norm" is to you. It's all relative to the person watching it.

[vervmeister]

What's up with the long pause by the end of it?

[thecpoc]

Is there a reason why you think any statement you disagree with is automatically "stupid"? If you honestly think that these characters look European and cannot in any way, shape, or form be Japanese... then tell me why that is. I'm Asian and to me they look Asian. These characters can be of pretty much any race except those of people with dark skin. They're drawn to be pretty much devoid of race. What, do you want them to have slits for eyes and buck teeth before you think they look Asian?

[EJPal]

well that is how most white people view us....maybe we should view them how japanese people view them...clumsy balding fat people-

I am from Central America my country name is Nicaragua , I saw G force since I was a kid , and I love them, for me any race is the same before the God eye's and I believe there is a super heroe in every human at least in our imagination but Gatchaman is international heroes .

Don't put attention to the people who believe better to another people just for the color of the skin

[thecpoc]

Then that probably means that you're from a country that is mostly inhabited by people of European descent. Unless we go into racially insensitive exaggerations, there really aren't any features on these characters that non-Europeans don't have as well.

はい！

[thecpoc]

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's stupid. It may be in vain, but I'll attempt to explain it as much as I can, though YouTube's commenting system only limits me to 500 letters. There's nothing about the characters that looks ethnic in any way, so in Japan people will associate the characters with themselves just as much as anyone overseas would. Because the characters are drawn with only the most basic human characteristics shared by all human beings around the world.

[thecpoc]

Because they're drawn as default human beings that don't have exaggerated features based on their race. They might not look Japanese to you, but they look Japanese to Japanese people.
