Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - OAV misses something even though there is a story.
In watching these three videos, I was once again snared back into being a fan of Gatchaman again. I was introduced to this series as Battle of the Planets when I was a kid. I loved the new looks of the characters except for Ken. He should have had a different look. I can't imagine he and Joe hanging out together off duty. Joe, on the other hand, looks good. I felt he was improved from the original.

Even though I enjoyed this series, I feel that they could have maybe added on ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Well worth watching
The Gatchaman OAVs are a spectacularly reanimated albeit highly-condensed remake of Gatchaman (1972, Tsatsunoko).

The first installment serves very well to set up the political background to the series and introduce us to the main characters.

Overall, I found it very interesting to watch (you will definitely want to get the entire set). I would have given it 5 stars except that I'm not fond of fan-service, of which there is a little too much.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Remake
If you remember Battle of the Planets or G-Force (or Eagle Riders) then this is a must-have.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A classics return
Of course Condor Joe rules!! He always was no 1..Very cool..Thats what we like..



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Gatchaman is G-Force and beyond!
Gatchaman is the latest incarnation of what most people knew as G-Force. The characters are nearly identical to their 70's G-Force counterparts with a 90's look. The macha designs are excellent, the action is fast paced. The only problem is that the American voice actors didn't do justice to what was happening on the screen. I've only viewed volume 1, but so far it looks to be a great trip!
