  • Welcome to Australia

    Some hilarious writings from a witty Melbourne blogger who goes by the name of LadyMissTree. (written for “‘Merkins”, btw)
    A Beginner’s Guide to Australia – Part 1 and Part 2

    Gatchaman/G-Force/BOTP

    Got around to watching our DVD booty. The verdict on Kinnikuman 2nd Generations: pretty generic anime. No desire to see Episode 2. And the main character (kinniku mantarou?) was one of the most annoying characters in the history of animation. - eddie.

    I can see though, why kids would enjoy this. It’s silly and has lots of fighting. The animation isn’t bad. - lili

    Gatchaman: superslick and action-oriented remake, but we both missed the hokey-ness of the original. The female character (Princess) looked like she’d had one major boob job, and the music sucked fourteen different kinds of ass. - eddie

    So many versions were made of this series. So many character name changes. I remembered it as G-Force (and it was a fave when I was a kid) I wanted to be Princess and had a crush on Mark. OK, I was young. Eddie watched it as Battle of The Planets, and remembers the ‘R2D2′ character used to bug him. (“it still does” - eddie)
