| Gatchaman / Collection 6 : 4 of 5 | |

 Another twelve episodes of Gatchaman full of fun and action, and I'm still loving the show (and now that I've finally caught up with the ADV Films release schedule, I have longer to wait for the next volume!). It seems like every set has at least one truly stand-out episode, and this time the God Phoenix (the Science Ninja Team's fighter, with four mini-mechas for the team members) is finally destroyed! It's a pretty dramatic moment, but of course, the International Science Organization builds a new one, so the Phoenix rises from the ashes - this time with more weapons! (It's pretty amazing that all this time they had no weapons except those wimpy bird missiles that never did any damage, no matter how much Joe wanted to fire them.) Another big moment is when they find out that Berg Katse isn't the real leader of Galactor - now they know about Leader X! The usual hilarious moments are here for your enjoyment, too, including a fight against baseball warriors, a fashion show staring Jun, and a big battle on roller skates, featuring the exciting ninja skating "bird whip" technique! There are some particularly gruesome deaths on this set, too, mainly in the brain stealing episode - I'm sure those scenes never made it into Battle of the Planets in the US. The bonus disc is the same old thing, and the voice actor interview is completely annoying this time, but I still like buying these sets for the cool art on the sleeve box. I can't wait to continue the saga!
