Kevin Munroe on leaving Gatchaman:
In the following interview on IESB.net, Kevin Munroe discusses his new project with Dylan Dog and his reasons for parting ways with Imagi and the Gatchaman movie project. Here's an excerpt:

Gatchaman cameo on new Yatterman series
The characters from other Tatsunoko series often make cameos in episodes of "Yatterman," and here's the latest (not to be confused with the sighting of Ken and Jun at the takoyaki stand a few posts ago).

"Chikyuu wa hitotsu! / Warereba oketsu!"
("There is only one Earth! / Split it, and it looks just like a butt!")
Looks like this latest guest appearance could be fun!

I wish the IESB interviewer had the presence of mind to ask about Paul Dini as well...it's still not clear (so far as I know) whether or not he's still co-writing the script.

dini is long gone from the project along with Monroe and most of the original crew.
Dini was gone from the film long before Munroe was.
