I don’t know how long this has been out there, and the term TEASER hasn’t been more accurate. Dammit I wanna see more so I can form an opinion!! Right now, all I have is that it looks like Blade Runner crossed with Speed Racer. I don’t like saying that about my cherished Gatchaman. Blade Runner=cool. Speed Racer=not cool.
John’s animated childhood was more in the camp of Starblazers/Space Battleship Yamato, but mine was strongly fixated on Battle of the Planets, which we just called GForce. It wasn’t until an updated animated feature was brought out that I knew it as Gatchaman. The updated film was SERIOUSLY cool. It took a lot of the campiness of the original and stylized it so that 5 genetically modified teenagers in various vehicles dressed as birds looked HOT.
I can’t wait to see more. Please dont suck!!
