a weird, bird-shaped thrill just went up my spine...

Friday, June 23, 2006


I just came across a story about a new movie being made based on The Greatest Cartoon Ever: Gatchaman, known in North America and for my entire childhood as Battle of the Planets.

Apparently an animation studio out of Hong Kong is going to begin production of a completely CG version of Gathchaman sometime next year. If its done with anywhere near the quality of FFVII: Advent Children, this is going to be awesome.

I can't begin to describe how excited about this I am. I can remember tearing home every day to watch this show, and to this day it remains one of those silly adorations from childhood that I haven't been able to shake. There are a surprisingly lot of those, btw. Think I want a do-over on my chilhood much?

I am such a fan of this cheesy old cartoon that when the series was released on DVD in both Japanese and English, Superwife bought me the boxed set. And now I can sing the theme song multilingually. Feel free to call me on that one.

Read the story here.

And here's to hoping this puts me one step closer to getting Superwife into that Princess costume I've mentioned before.
