GATCHAMAN!!!!
Holy fuckballs Batman! Or Gatchaman to be more precise. Anyone of my vintage, give or take, will remember an awesome cartoon that used to run on channel 2 in the arvos in the early 80's called Battle of the Planets (You may also know it as G-Force). It was a totally sick show, but there is a complex story behind the episodes we saw and what the Japanese saw. The original Japanese series was called Gatchaman and had 105 eps. It ran for ages in the 70's and was on in prime time. It had a much darker adult feel than the show we got. Anyhoo, for the first time the original series is on DVD and translated for American release. So I've ordered them and I'm Uber-excited.
Check this link. And if anyone is up on new school manga, I'm looking for a long series to sink my teeth into, pointers would be great....

Hi Facewon, this is scaryswf from edge. Happy new year, sorry you had to work :(
Battle of the Planets was fairly awesome. If your looking for modern manga i'd recommend Blood+. Its about 50 eps and a little slow starting, but it really draws you in.
Where did you order the unedited version from, and was it any good?
I have the edited BBC version on DVD with that stupid robot, I'd love to see the originals.
