Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The early anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (1972-74) aired in America in two different versions: for Battle of the Planets (syndication, 1978), much of the violence was excised and the R2-D2-esque robot 7-Zark-7 was added; G-Force (Turner Broadcasting, 1986) was darker in tone and closer to the original. All three series focus on the adventures of five teenage warriors in bird suits. In "Secret Crescent," Jinpei gets into trouble when Galactor attacks a secret undersea base. "Fearful Sea Anemone" tells a similar story involving Keyop, set on "Galaxy 30," but a comic subplot about 7-Zark-7 preparing for a "robot reunion" takes time needed for the payoff. The print of Gatchaman used for the transfer had faded, making the chase with a sea anemone-fortress difficult to see; the sound is garbled in Battle and G-Force. Unrated; suitable for ages 10 and up. --Charles Solomon

Other reviews here do an excellent job covering the content of this DVD. I just wanted to mention that there is a slight technical problem with this DVD (and the rest of vols. 1-4). The English language track on the G-Force episode is virtually inaudible on some players, which is a real disappointment and knocked the DVD down a star. I tried on the two different players I have (Pioneer DV-626D and Playstation 2), and they both have the same trouble. I even wrote in to Rhino's technical support ... Read More

Much has been made about the complete lack of remastering of the Battle of the Planets episodes, but I believe a great many fans buying these DVDs are in agreement: the original Japanese Gatchaman episodes are the real gold of the Battle of the Planets DVDs. There's a definite story arc that can be followed, the characterizations are sharper, and - owing to a recent series of Gatchaman DVD releases in Japan - the original Japanese episodes ARE remastered quite nicely. As of volume 3, the "trading ... Read More

I'm slowly going through my BOTP DVDs from Rhino (don't want to go into withdrawal while waiting for next volumes to come out) and just finished watching "Ace From Outer Space" and its GATCHAMAN counterpart, "Galactor's Grand Airshow". Like most BOTP episodes, "Ace" has G-Force tracking down their enemy to an alien planet. In this case, that planet is Ergos, home of Captain Doom (the flying ace in the title).
As I watched "Ace", I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the voice ... Read More

Another quality DVD from RHINO. Just like 1-3, this is a nice transfer with wonderful sound. The disk includes Battle of the planets episodes, Gatchaman episodes(what started it all) and G-Force episodes (an abomination). I grew up on the planets episodes and they are still wonderful, looking just as I left them. The Gatchaman episodes are great,wonderful action but sometimes brutal. They show how much was left on the cutting room floor in order to turn this into kids tv. The G-force episodes are of ... Read More
