| Gatchaman / Collection 4 : 4 of 5 | |

 I'm enjoying Gatchaman more than any other anime I've been watching lately! I'm a total fan now - I even took the opening and closing theme song lyrics to my tutoring session so we could analyze them! This box set has another 12 episodes, which I think ends up about half-way through the series, and I'm in for the long haul. I was really happy to see the return of Red Impulse, the jet fighter team that sometimes helps out the Science Ninja Team, and finally the big secret (which I predicted) about Ken's long lost father is revealed (at least in a conversation with Dr. Nambu). There's a great two-parter (which are always cool in Gatchaman) about Jigokiller flowers, and one of them actually swallows Jun! The team has to roast a field of these flowers, and they think they have killed her - Jinpei, who thinks of Jun as his big sister, is devastated, and there's all kinds of deep characterization going on, since everyone on the team is an orphan, but they all deal with it in different ways. Some cool monsters this time are Renzilla (who looks a lot like Rodan), and a bunch of cool mecha-dinosaurs. Katse gets into the action, too - he disguises himself as a woman (it seems he's very in touch with his feminine side!) to hijack a plane, and of course, he can switch back into his normal pointy-eared self in about two seconds. The bonus discs are getting a little boring for me, since they mainly focus on the American voice actors now, but I still like buying these box sets anyway, and Collection 5 is on the way!
