Science
Ninja Team Gatchacan
 |
The online presence
of the only currently active Gatchaman centered Japanese doujinshi circle,
a product of a love for the series, highly compressed, concentrated and
packed for long-term shelf life. The episode
summaries with commentary are highly recommended.
(Japanese only, some images, including fan art.) |
Utoland
Chronicle
 |
Online fanzine
by A. Asakura-sama. A real live, real time Gatchaman fan rekindles her
love (obsession?) toward the show. Believe it or not, the banner is her
own artwork. No, she has never worked for Tatsunoko. The bulletin
board, Science
Ninja Team Gatchaban, is rather active. And oh, whatever you do,
make sure you visit the fan
art section. You won't regret it.
(Mostly Japanese, but the art page has English instructions.) |
Q-chara
Club
 |
Fan art site.
Fan art of G3 can be found here, among other things. Some of it is kind
of racy, some of it isn't. If you don't enjoy that kind of thing, it may
be a good idea not to visit. I personally think that he and his friends
are very good artists, and will leave it at that.
(Japanese only, but it doesn't matter because it is mainly an art page.) |
Telno
Virus
 |
All-around cute
website about Japanese popular culture in the 70s and the site maintainer's
passion...cosplay. Do you recognize this
Ken?She's not just cute, she's a good artist, too! Make sure to
chek out her fan
art page and bulletin
board.
(Mostly Japanese, but there are a lot of pictures and fan art.) |
Ameris
Intelligence Report
 |
(Self plug alert!)
My series info/ commentary
website about the English and other incarnations of Gatchaman. No art,
no screengrabs, just a lot of Japanese text. Hey, it's a boring site, but
at least Japanese fans finally understand what it means when someone says
Jason's headaches were Zarked away!

Mori
Katsuji's Room of Love
 |
(Not quite Gatch,
but...)
Mind out of the yaoi gutter,
fanfic writers, he means love in the platonic, brotherly sense. Mori Katsuji,
the voice actor for the one and only original Eagle, has his own official
website. There's a comprehensive credit list organized by
character, by
date, and by
title, and a gallery
which includes photos from Mori-san's days as a child actor, when he was
cute enough to act in any of the roles he has given voices, including a
certain blue eyed young man in white wings.

Isaoland!
 |
(Again, not quite Gatch,
but...)
It didn't seem right that
Sasaki Isao, the one and only original Condor, didn't have his own website,
when less talented voice actors had sites dedicated to them. Hitomi-sama,
Gatchafan extrodinaire, has provided a solution to the problem. The baritone has been known to appear in person on the bulletin board.

MYO's
Home Page
 |
(Kind of Gatch...)
My fellow Gatchafan MYO-sama
has a Kageyama Hironobu (anime theme singer who sings the "Dragon Ball
Z" theme, among other things) and Tatsunoko page. The Tatsunoko page has
a section
where you can vote for your favorite Tatsunoko anime.
|
Manemane's
Lair
 |
(Partly Gatch!)
Fan art gallery by another
real time Gatchafan with serious passion (obsession?) There is no doubt
in my mind that there will be more Gatch here in the near future. Not that
his other Tatsunoko fan art isn't worth looking at either. The page also
has a
chat
room.

Ken
& Joe's Room
 |
(Um...how Gatch is it?)
See, it's kind of Ken Washio and Joe Asakura, but not quite...this professional writer's characterswere quite obviously inspired by the original series, but they've taken identities of their own as the 18-year old Godfather of a New York Mafia family (Ken) and his 26-year old stepbrother/ lover (Joe). Major yaoi alert (oh, is that what you wanted? I'm sorry :P) The page introduces her books, and doesn't go into a lot of detail about them, but she has screengrabs of the covers, and some original art, which are both pure eye candy. However, you're on your own as far as finding the volumes for yourself, as quite a few of them are out of print. (Japanese only.) |
