| Gatchaman / Collection 7 : 4 of 5 | |

 Wow, my Gatchaman DVD collection is really growing, and since I've been buying these in the special box sets, they are looking really sweet on my shelf. As usual, the bonus DVD isn't much to get excited about (although this time there are some fun tracks of Gatchaman themes in Italian and Dutch!), but it's definitely worth it for the amazing Alex Ross art on the boxes. The episodes in this collection are really heating up, and the battle with Galactor is getting more serious all the time. Just because Jun the Swan loses her shoe during a fight, Galactor's scientists are able to figure out how the Science Ninja Team's "bird style" transformation works, and they use this to develop detectors, weapons, and even to discover the location of the secret underwater Crescent Coral Base! There's a really dramatic attack, but thankfully we learn that the base has rockets so it can just move to another underwater location. Character-wise, Joe the Condor unlocks some hidden memories and learns he's the child of Galactor parents (actually rescued as a boy by Dr. Nambu), and Ryu the Owl (the only non-orphan) has to save his dad from an ocean attack without revealing his Science Ninja Team identity. As always, there are plenty of cool and hilarious mecha, this time including a giant peacock, an underground burrowing beetle, and a massive prawn. I'm all set for the next collection, and still having fun singing the Gatchaman theme!
