Warning: Spoilers ahead. The purpose of The Production Diaries is to share my experiences as I see uncut, untranslated "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" for the first time. They contain episode summaries with (my) tongue-(very deeply)-in-cheek, mean, cruel, heartless, sarcastic, biting, and malicious commentary and way, way, way off topic personal regressions. The entries are not necessarily made in the order of the episodes, but in the order that I have seen them.

If you don't want to know what happens in each episode until you see it for yourself, PLEASE DO NOT READ MY DIARIES.

If you don't want to read any of my personal regressions, PLEASE DO NOT READ MY DIARIES. (And yes, I tried changing the font and colors of the personal regression/ commentary portions to separate them from the straightforward summaries. It didn't work.) If you are looking for a more straightforward summary of the episodes, please try Alara-sama's site, the Gatchaguru's page.

If you don't want to read mean things written about Gatch, PLEASE DO NOT READ MY DIARIES. I do not recommend reading this page to people who worship the Gatchaman series as religious text. I like the series (how else would I be able to watch each episode an average of 3 times, not counting the times I have to rewind so I can understand the Giant Blue Chicken ^.~) and I believe that it is a milestone in Japanese (and for that matter international) animation, but all the same there are things in it that are funny that probably weren't intended to be, and I have played on them a great deal. If you find such things offensive, you may not enjoy what I've written.

If you have come here from a beautiful fanfic like, from, say, Lori McDonald-sama's fanfic archive, and you are still in some kind of stunned silence after reading a beautiful work, and came here because someone said this was an interesting site, PLEASE DO NOT READ MY DIARIES without preparing yourself for having your beautiful stunned silence smashed to bits.

And most importantly, don't take what I say too seriously. What's a 27 year old doing complaining about a 26 year old show made to sell toys to year olds, anyway? (^.~)

I am skipping around. Yes, I intend to fill in the blanks. I'm flattered that you care.
