Full Gatchaman Episodes on YouTube

A YouTube user has begun posting the original Gatchaman eps in their entirety dubbed in English. They sound like the Section 23 dubs.

New Gatchaman Movie: Live Action Trailer Subbed in English

Retroboy sent me a link to the trailer with English and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles. You will probably have to click the CC symbol (closed captioning) at the bottom of the movie player to turn on the appropriate subtitles.




Bonus: Retroboy also sent this link to a teaser from the now-defunct Imagi 2007 project with some different footage than you've probably seen before.

Get Subtitled Gatch II and F Episodes Free!

Interested in watching all of Gatchaman II subtitled in English? A wonderful fansubber has completed the entire series. You can download most of them from Gatchamania.net. (Or at least you should be able to until at least April or May of 2013. If you don't have a Gatchamania.net account, you may need to create one to access the thread with the fansub links.)

The first 19 episodes are not available via Gatchamania for one reason and one reason only -- we can't find a website that will store files for free that works consistently. Most of the episodes in the link above use PackUpload, but we weren't able to get the site to work well for the first 19 episodes. (Also, the links expire after 6 months if they're not being used frequently, which is why we can't guarantee they will be available after April or May of 2013.) As the person who was doing the uploading wrote:


That PackUpload site was giving me fits, which is why I wasn't able to get the rest of the GII eps up for you. It would hang right as the episode finished uploading and then refuse to give me the URL. 
Does anybody know of a site where you can upload files that will
  1. Stay in place for a while
  2. Be accessible through an account (no matter what I did, PackUpload wouldn't store the episodes for me in an account. I did everything it said to do, and it refused) 
I really love Dropbox, but that only provides 2 GB worth of space, and each ep is about 300-600 MB. I would be more than happy to upload all of the episodes somewhere if you guys would help me find a site to use!
If you're interested in seeing Gatchaman Fighter subbed in English, we need your help! We need a translator who speaks Japanese who is interested in helping us out! If you know someone, please have them contact me directly. My email address is on the GatchOnline Contact page.

Live Gatchaman Movie: Set Footage and Interviews

There was a little feature on the upcoming live Gatchaman movie on the Japanese morning show Zip! The clip is about 7 minutes long and it's completely in Japanese, but (for those who don't speak Japanese), it's still interesting to see the actors who have been cast and little snippets from the set. For a little more information, visit Anime News Network. The film is slated for an August 24, 2013 release in Japan.

I think the woman playing Jun is super cute -- what do you think of the cast?
