Extreme throwback to 2008 when I was reminiscing about 1995:
I recently said "Robotech was my first anime with mass unaliving onscreen" but I was wrong, that honor clearly went to Gatchaman (known to us then as G Force) with hordes of evil craigslist mooks getting viciously wiped out by five guys in bird suits when their secret base/giant robot came crashing down every episode
EDIT: I forgot about the mass unaliving of civilians/military by said giant robot which typically took place in the first few minutes. I'm surprised the Earth's population in the show hasn't gone down a notch every few episodes

... for those of you not paying attention at home, I have been deep in the weeds these last few months resurrecting old websites I used to run or co-run back in the day. in this brave new world of corporate takeover and the tiny little cries of the oppressed going "where are all the little webpages now? the carefully curated lists of things that only three people actually care about? what if i want to hear all the dialogue lines from Gambit as voiced in the now defunct Marvel Heroes mmo?!" --- I have risen like cream.
I have three quarters of the webcode for about four different fansites from wayyyy back in the day when I was absolutely feral about building websites for whatever my current obsession was, and right now i'm currently putting Bird Go back together - a fansite for Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets specific to Joe/Ken yaoi but we were equal opportunity smut purveyors and pretty much entertained all comers.
For the most part I have left the old code intact and surprisingly most of it still functions, although its laughably bad if you consider 'best practices' of the here and now. But - it serves webpages on desktop monitors which is what it was originally meant for so I am content. Some stuff has been lost over the intervening years, old folders of images or pages not copied forward through hard drive crashes and the like, so there's been evenings of hacking through the Wayback Machines to try and restore at least some of what's gone missing.
Today though I have just finished re-creating 105 webpages for the individual episodes of the first series and can now attach the 40 folders of screencaps that I carefully put together back in the day because, yes, I do have the entire first series on CD and did spend quality time like the fan I was/am to crib all the really good shots (and all the really horrific ones) for posterity.
so please, in my carpal tunnel pain - see also my little drawing and painting attempts below that were lovingly drawn at the same time as this very old website, because there's nothing like a strong love for a particular anime to inspire a gal to want to make pictures for it.
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman! I will love you forever.
