Audience Member Better known in the West as Battle Of The Planets, this classic 105 episode Japanese anime epic is about a group of 5 orphans recruited by the I.S.O under the command of Dr Nambu who fight against Galactor led by the hermaphrodite shape shifting villain Berg Katse. Katse's superior - a mysterious alien known as Sosai X wants to take control of Earth's resources. Skilled in martial arts and blessed with an incredible ship The God Phoenix that could transform itself into a fiery mode when in extreme danger, the Gatchaman team faced regular threats from mechas created by Galactor. Those that grew up in the 80's watched the heavily edited US Sandy Frank production but the superior Japanese original is far far better. It's darker, more violent and realistic. Do yourself a favour and try to watch the original. You'll soon forget the crappy B.O.T.P version in an instant. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I am loving watching the old cartoons from my childhood. I used to watch this in the 4th grade and my friends and I would run around the playground playing "Battle of The Planets" (the US version of Gatchaman). I am finally seeing what started it all and I am loving it. I recommend this if you like cheesy 70's cartoons.
