I officially have every BOTP & Gatchaman file. As of now I'm 48 episodes into the "Gatchaman" series & all I have to say is, "Sandy Frank's American TV executives really butchered it," as BOTP doesn't hold a candle to the 1972 original. Looking back on 1978, it is very obvious that these guys were riding the coattails of Star Wars' success. Such a shame to feel it was necessary to water everything down, let alone have it (to some degree) imitate another sci-fi franchise.
Is it just me or had end 70's, early 80's cartoons a higher standard as today. Just saw nowadays stuff on cartoon channel and I could't believe my eyes. What a bunch of shit !!
@gr8gmr Right on! Get the original Scooby, Dungeons & Dragons, Super Friends, etc. back on tv - when tv was tv!
Then get back on Battlestar Galactica (original series), Star Trek, Airwolf, A-Team, Voyagers, and almost everything else from the '60's, '70's, and '80's. Maybe it can help people to start acting like people in society again!

30 years later, I still want to beat the shit out of him. I have the same reaction to Richard Simmons - but not because either are gay, but they are both so fucking annoying.
On December 24 at 8:00 in the morning a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed into myspace. She found he had gone to sleep and didn't repost a chain letter. If you don't repost this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry don't want to die.
Look at the length of the intro, too. One-and-a-half minutes. The networks would never countenance that these days. Even the new Hawaii Five-O had its intro shaved to below 30 seconds.
I remember the year that I was in sixth grade, which would have been the 1979-80 school year, and the first year I had a black and white Panasonic TV in my bedroom, I would watch this show before going off to school.
When i was a teenager in the 80's i wasn't interested in watching cartoons from the 70's anymore, "Battle of the Planets" was whats up on channel 5 in New York City LOL! I absolutely Loved this cartoon. This was the godfather of Anime. I truly miss those days and enjoying the "real" G-Force!
@RX78 I have seen most, if not all of the Yamato or Starblazer series....Not 100 percent sure though...Have not seen a list that has all of the series listed......
1977! THE 1ST start of the space action genre they started when it came out (along with Captian Harlock) and is has been an overall influence since then for lots of other serie's, but GATCHAMAN(japanese title) is still one of a kind
This series was ace, I was once fortunate to get my hands on a model of the space craft. It was shaped like a bird, and had 5 mini ships, that it could launch. I would definitely buy it if i ever see it again,
Hey I know it was a cheesy 70s theme music but the violins and the trumpets always got me. The way the Phoenix climbs to the violins is just awesome and then the whirlwind pyramid towards the end. Just the theme music got me as a kid, hell... it still gets me. This one, Sped Racer, Starblazers and Force Five (starvengers, grandizer and gaiking were my favorites)
Power Rangers is a childish version of Super Sentai. the original Japanese version is way better than the American remake. a short movie named Rolling Bomber Special is amazing and only 7 minutes. so I suggest giving it a chance. I also recommend a music video named Sunao.
if you have the time, look at my favorites (Rolling Bomber Special, Sunao)
@Carandini bloody hell, I'm sorry. Whenever I think of Johnny Quest, for some reason, I keep remembering the remake, and not the Hanna Barbera classic. A lot of folks died on that as well. The new Quest was good too, like the one with the cow girl who had stolen money for a tribe's children, or the death of Ezekiel Rage. They had some good ones, but nothing as cool as the old episodes. The swamp monster, the invaders.
as a kid in the late 1970's early 80's after school i watched this. bring back child memories. now at age 41 i tell my kids this is was the best cartoons. they laugh at my ass because they grew up on computer generated cartoons and 2000's high technology graphics.man i feel old.

I'm sure other decades had their thing but coming home from school or lazy Saturday mornings watching this and stuff like Space Sentinals made the 70's for me.
Its obviously people who were born too late to experience all these great programmesthat dislike it. A time without fancy CGI, but with great imagination.
@Wolfe1024 no, its people who enjoyed the original japanese serie so-called Gatchaman during their childhood, and "this" american thing is an insult to that classic anime
I went absolutely bananas for this show as a kid! I was content with the classic Warner Brothers and MGM cartoons of the pre-war/post-war era but Battle of the Planets took cartoons to a whole new level. Most American cartoons of the 60s, 70s & 80s sucked in comparison to great Japanese imports like Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers.
@spinocus I agree. all we had back then was Hanna - Barbara shit that was repetitive talking dog or talking car with the same group of kids who all looked the the the Scooby Doo gang.
@spinocus You are 100% correct. Very cool shows. Life has sucked the last 4 years, but at least I can look at these and be transported back to a happier time.
@spinocus dont forget mazinger z, or as we knew it here, tranzor z. that was around the same time too, perhaps a bit later but a great show. although, the booby missiles always cracked me up, even as a kid.
Like many shows of the era it had incredible music. Seriously, what kid's show could possibly compare from now? I know I sound like an old man basking in misplaced nostalgia - but I'm right.
Oh my fucking god yes. I so miss this show, one of my absolute favorites as a kid. The only shows I loved more were Batman: The Animated Series, Voltron, and Johnny Quest.
@kimv020887 I'd say that but GI Joe was already off the air when I was younger. Only reason I even caught Voltron or Jonny Quest was because Cartoon Network showed it back in the days when Cartoon Network actually had a good daytime lineup. Now that I think about it, I did forget Space Ghost and The Herculoids though.
I used to watch this every day as a kid. There's one episode I'm trying to find here but I can't. From what I remember, the episode was called "Princess in the flower" It was a multiple part episode.
I love this show!!! One of favorites growing up. I just order the dvd collection. I can't wait for it to show up. Brings back memories. Those were real action cartoons back then.
@JustJaymo Don't you know, anime this old is suposed to be ignored because we have Naruto and all the new stuff... only the unhip would care about this old stuff.
God this brings back memories... This, Star Blazers, Force Five... ever notice how much of it back then was so similar to each other. More likely to do with the me too attitude of the media and so much of it back then was simular. ow well, it's branched out a lot since then
it's probably because we have alot of posers trying to pass off as original gotchaman fans, when in fact they weren't even born yet when this aired in the US.
One of the first animes I watched as a kid.Starblazers,Tosho Daimos,later Robotech,Fist of the Northstar,Akira,Gundam,I still do watch some anime if it has a good story.Death Note was good.
THIS IS THE REAL G-FORCE AS WE REMEMBER IT and not that damn Disney movie with gerbils!!! "Battle of the Planets/ Gatchaman" is as awesome as I remember it !!!
First "anime" I ever was exposed to as a kid. I had to get up at like 6am and watch it on a UHF station. This was like 1981ish, if I remember correctly.
Maybe one day someone will write a great script pairing G-force with the two Voltrons and making a mega cartoon!!! And what if Lyon-o was to enter the battle with the Thundercats........ I really believe gathering these superpowers together would be a monumental classic!! I for one would definitely own a copy to show my kids!! I love G-Force!!
@sandstonio you do know that space has been measured and is actually finite right? that just begs the question.. so wtf is exactly beyond it? 97 billion light years across the last time i checked. i may be a bit off though.
I used to watch this Monday through Friday on KTTV 11 in L.A. Before school when I was a kid. The Phoenix is my favorite Design of Space Ship. I also own the CD soundtrack to Battle Beyond the Planets with and without Voice over and it rocks! 7zark7 was added to the American Dub!
One of many super excellent cartoons back in the day.
Great music and great show without the stupidity, violence, and language matter prevalent today.
Notice that as tv morally decays so does society. Atleast we had decent, moral superheroes when we were growing up and now it's Hanna Montana, Britney Spears, Reality tv, and Spongebob.
what was marks father's name? was it commander kronos from the planet riga? this show put me on a whole other world as a kid but for the life of me and my friends we couldnt come to a conclusion on the endless debates about the gender of zoltar.

Space Sentinels just pipped this cartoon for me but the theme tune was probably the best of it`s time amongst some VERY stiff competition.

@JustJaymo Don't you know, anime this old is suposed to be ignored because we have Naruto and all the new stuff... only the unhip would care about this old stuff.
God this brings back memories... This, Star Blazers, Force Five... ever notice how much of it back then was so similar to each other. More likely to do with the me too attitude of the media and so much of it back then was simular. ow well, it's branched out a lot since then

it's probably because we have alot of posers trying to pass off as original gotchaman fans, when in fact they weren't even born yet when this aired in the US.

First "anime" I ever was exposed to as a kid. I had to get up at like 6am and watch it on a UHF station. This was like 1981ish, if I remember correctly.

in case you don't know Super Sentai, the original japanese version of Power Rangers, look at my favorites (SUNAO).

Maybe one day someone will write a great script pairing G-force with the two Voltrons and making a mega cartoon!!! And what if Lyon-o was to enter the battle with the Thundercats........ I really believe gathering these superpowers together would be a monumental classic!! I for one would definitely own a copy to show my kids!! I love G-Force!!

@sandstonio you do know that space has been measured and is actually finite right? that just begs the question.. so wtf is exactly beyond it? 97 billion light years across the last time i checked. i may be a bit off though.

I used to watch this Monday through Friday on KTTV 11 in L.A. Before school when I was a kid. The Phoenix is my favorite Design of Space Ship. I also own the CD soundtrack to Battle Beyond the Planets with and without Voice over and it rocks! 7zark7 was added to the American Dub!

One of many super excellent cartoons back in the day.
Great music and great show without the stupidity, violence, and language matter prevalent today.
Notice that as tv morally decays so does society. Atleast we had decent, moral superheroes when we were growing up and now it's Hanna Montana, Britney Spears, Reality tv, and Spongebob.
What's wrong with that picture, folks?

I'd like to see a contemporary big band, such as the LOUDHORNS, get together with
the other necessary instrumentalists, and record this, as well as other great cartoon
themes like Jonny Quest, the Herculoids, Mightor, Space Ghost, etc. as well as the
other underscore cues from these shows. I'd be first in line for that CD!

apparently 7 zark 7 is a wee plot device for us Brits - the violence of the fight scenes wasn't deemed suitable for us.
