Hee hee hee. I have Gatchman vol 1 and it's got awful English subtitles. (Not that you can't largely follow the story without them.) I'm currently watching The Phantom Boat From The Hell and wondering why the heck so much entirely innocent animation (Princess and Keyop Jun and Jinpei waterskiing, Jason Joe looking cool in shades, etc) was lopped out in favour of 7-fucking-Zark-7.

That's because Jason/Joe was to hot for children's Tv? I think honestly they wanted to sell the show on the phony inserted R2D2 theme and from what I understand Jinpei had a pretty nasty mouth on him, which was why they gave him a speech issues (not sure if this rumor is true, but it is amusing). They were filling in for all his swearing....

Not unless there's a lot of unsubtitled Japanese cursing - which is entirely possible! No sign of the rumoured pornography, either... which is a shame, 'cos yeah, Joe is too hot for television. >:)

Well, I do remember June/Princess kicking Spector Clones in the balls and eggs cracking each shot.... But I don't think that happened enough to qualify be seen as porn... It is a shame, seriously, at least we can get to see Joe out of those bell-bottom-baseball shirt combos they wore in the new subs. :)

*whistles*

He's got that, "I'm too sexy for your dub." look :)

Oooh maybe it was the semi-bikini trunks he's wearing? I mean that would certainly be worthy of a sensor right? I mean he has that Italian beach bum look.

All I know is I'd rather watch Jinpei fall hilariously off his water skis ten thousand times rather than sit through Mark and Jason playing ping pong EVER AGAIN.

Hear hear! Can't agree more! :)

As I recall, the ping pong game was badly animated too! I mean, even as a 11 year old, I could tell it was a different set of animators that made that horrific piece of stock footage! :)
