| Gatchaman / Collection 1 : 4 of 5 | |

 Along with my beloved Speed Racer, my early anime appreciation also included Battle of the Planets, an awesome science fiction series featuring the adventures of G-Force! I used to love that show, not really knowing that it was originally a Japanese animation sensation that ran over 100 episodes. The original Gatchaman has never before been released in America in its complete uncut version, so I'm really excited these DVDs are now available. This first collection includes Volumes 1 and 2 (each with six episodes), plus a DVD of bonus material, including things like voice audition footage and the usual sketches (along with a beautiful slipcase with Alex Ross artwork). I had such a great time watching the show - I love both theme songs, and the stories are really cool. The Science Ninja Team, with its five members all dressed as birds, battles Galactor, an evil organization who always seems to try to steal the earth's resources with giant robot monsters! This first set includes a huge turtle robot, and giant centipede, and even a tremendous mummy robot. All of the main characters are fun, too, and I like their different techniques and weapons (especially Jun's yo-yo!), not to mention their spectacular aircraft, the God Phoenix. There's going to be lots of DVDs to watch to complete this collection, and I'm up to the challenge - anything to relive a great childhood memory!
