Kagaku Ninja-tai Gatchaman

Guys..this is one of my favourite anime(way..way back then...lol)

... So for the heck of it.. i'm going to write a review base on my childhood memories.

tome this is a masterpiece... they managed to creator such a wonderful anime way back then. With their animation tech back then..this was a great great series.

It was creative... it was fun....it was and to me still is a wonderful series.

cool heroes(although they look like hippies with bell bottoms...lol)

cool ... mecha... awesome action....

made me borrowed my brothers motorcycle helmet and tie the table cloth around my neck (...my hero cape) and jump around pretending to be one of the g force....

The current anime fan may not understand why to me..it is a great series...because the anime has "grown up" in the past 30 years . the tech is so much advance...creating superb movement and artwork..

However without the g force, the gundam, the mazinger z, the grandizer, the voltron....the anime today wont be the same

salute to the g force

In only just a few short weeks, Gatchaman has been able to establish itself as my favorite anime. It's the combination of excellent vintage animation, sound, retro- style, and over-all originality that makes it such an amazing series. There's plenty of character development along with great story telling. Even the characters make the series such a great work. Gatchaman was the series that played a huge roll in the creation and boom of Henshin tv shows. My advice to anyone is to check out this series, especially if your an old-school anime fan.

One of the first anime I ever saw... all the way back in the 1970's. It is important to compare this to anime of the era in terms of art and storytelling. A fun romp with a lot of action. Still the entire run has an overarching story and an environmental message. The "Battle of the Planets" version is much more child directed than the original with huge cuts to avoid issues here in the United States. I own DVD versions of many anime titles but this is one of the few long run series purchased; along with Space Battleship Yamato.

5 episode review:

Started watching subbed and it was a pretty mediocre anime with pretty bad subtitles that were badly worded and had too much text for the amount of time they were on-screen. I was going to drop it, but I figured I should check out the dub. I have now seen 3 episodes of the show with the dub and I gotta say, I like it. The following is a review of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman dubbed.

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is a children's monster of the week cartoon in which each episode contains a small amount of world-building as it slowly builds up this ... conflict between Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, a group of teens with "science" that serve as the protagonists, and Galactor, the enemy organization who is behind every monster of the week. It's a rather enjoyable show due in large part to the campy dub which is entertainingly bad, but also the characters and world-building so far is quite good; I expect it to progress nicely if rather slowly. Speaking of which, this is a very slow, episodic show. You're going to want to watch this as an episode every so often rather than any sort of binging. This doesn't work as the main show you're watching, only as a side show. But, as a side show, it's quite entertaining and I recommend it, dubbed of course. I look forward to slowly going through this show. Kind of surprising how good it is for a show from 1972 tbh.
