Recently we've also been graced with a new series called Gatchaman Crowds though it's stylistically very different to the earlier entries. Then we had nothing until the mid-90s, when select episodes from the original series were adapted with modern animation into a 3 episode OVA (that is also included with this boxset). As you'd expect, these too were also hacked into a Westernized version, called Eagle Riders, that lost almost all of the purpose and charm of the originals. These “adaptations” also tempered the bleaker tone of the original and avoided much of the more complex nuance and futility the heroes faced.įollowing the original series there was a gap of a few years and then Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter were released in pretty quick succession. The former added an all new robot character called 7 Zark 7, that was very much based on R2-D2, and whose primary role was to narrate each episode and assure young viewers that none of the bad guys died. If all this sounds vaguely familiar, bar the violence, that’s because Gatchaman was originally released in the West (though some would say “butchered) as Battle of the Planets and G-Force. It was also a surprisingly violent show, despite the lack of gore, as it often showed numerous bad guys getting beaten to death in various brutal ways.
