GateKeepers Collection

Posted by UtopiaShipyards 

It took me about 3-4 years to compile all the books from the GateKeepers series but it's here. The last book arrived by EMS from Fukuoka a few days ago and would like to share the collection.

I bought some of these personally during my visits to local shops, on trips to Japan and Hong Kong, also on sites like eBay, Amazon, AmazonJP, and Mandarake, and also from my regular buyer/forwarder friend in Japan.

Mouseover = load notes.

Breakdown below follows chronology of the series:

Mouseover = load notes.
GateKeepers Collection

Novels and Manga of the original GateKeepers series in 1969.

First row are the novels, second rows are the Japanese Manga, third row is the Tokyopop translation. Only Vol 1 & 2 of the manga were ever released.

The book on the lowest right is an official spoof of the characters.

Mouseover = load notes.
GateKeepers Collection

Artbooks from the Anime Series (also takes place in 1969).

Including the official AEGIS pin (the rarest/most expensive item in the collection). The 2 books on the bottom are from the Gokikura doujin series.

GateKeepers Collection

Game guides from the GateKeepers Playstation RPG game which takes place in 1970.

The book on the left explains the characters while the one on the left explains the game tactics.

GateKeepers Collection

GateKeepers 1985 novel (set in 1985, after the original series) and items from GateKeepers 21 OVA set in the 21st century (2003 I think).

Keiji Gotoh, the creator, also released some of his GateKeeper illustrations in this book. The USB drive contains the complete episodes, music collection, the PS game, illustrations, etc. concerning the GateKeepers franchise.

Will be getting the original DVDs of the series and the PS game at a later date. It's not as urgent as the OOP (out of print) books.

The only GateKeepers "H" Doujin that I know of. This was the one that arrived recently. It cost over JPY6000 to acquire and singlehandedly killed this month's comic book budget.

Lastly, some music CDs. If I come across some of the CDs in the shops I frequent, I purchase them. But these are not actively collected as I already have the songs in the USB disk.

The only things missing in the collection are the resin figures of Ruriko Ikusawa and Yukino Houjou. They stopped manufacturing those a long long time ago and my chances of getting one are statistically improbable, even with HLJ or Mandarake or wherever...

So there. Thanks for looking!
