In order not to slight any of the characters, this page features cels
with more than one team member. (I like team shots the best, even though some of the
images can be quite small.)
 |
This is an early model sheet of the team. The Galacter baddie
seen in the middle is listed as "Beluk Katse". (Obviously, BK's design was
later changed.) This design was used in the show - as the main Galacter
sub-boss in the first two episodes. |
G-Force! (Some things are better in English!
"Bird Go!" is kind of weak!)

Pain is finding a great cel, only to discover is was folded in half
by the previous owner...
This is a key-master setup from either Gatchaman II or F. |
 This is the cel. |
This shot of the gang (minus Ken) comes from Gatchaman F. It's
a pan shot, so the image to the right was made up of three separate screen grabs.
Jun's mouth was originally on a separate cel, but that layer was not
with this when it was discovered. |

This is how it looks on TV. |

The cel. |
This cel is also from Gatchaman F. It's another big pan
cel. (It's over 2 feet wide!) The
lines have faded to brown a little bit, but it still looks pretty sharp! |

As seen on TV! |
 |
Ken and Jun are stunned in this key-master set-up from the original
series.
(I don't know which episode it's from. Any ideas?) |
Joe and Jun look good, but the cel itself doesn't! (This
multi-cel set-up is suffering from some of the worst "spotting" I've ever
seen...!) |

Here's a great cel from Gatchaman II! Joe and Jun are going
over a cliff in a sports car!
The drawing on the left is actually one frame before the cel! |
 |

Before enhancement. |
This cel was also suffering a bit, but not from spotting. This
cel's linework had really faded. A digital restoration (of the scanned
image, not the cel itself!) was needed.
Unlike most Gatchaman cels from the original series, it came with
its matching unstuck pencil drawing. The drawing was mostly intact, but
some of the image had stuck to the cel when they were separated.
The cel was scanned, as was the pencil drawing. The linework was
then cleaned up and the missing areas replaced (from using what could be seen on the cel).
The image was then digitally lifted from the drawing and placed over the cel's
image. The result is on the right. |

After enhancement. |
 |
A cool shot of these three, but I doubt the background matches. |
 |
Ken and Jimpei |
 |
 |
Here's a key-master set-up from the original series. |
 |
A cute cel of Jun (with Jimpei getting in the
way)! |

The men of Gatchaman! |
Ken & Jun |
