Gatchaman or Battle of the Planets

[Mooncat]

I want to buy a complete set of Battle of the Planets DVD's (I think)

Im trying to determine whats best tbh

I doubt I could handle non subtitled or non dubbed Japanese Gatchaman

But I read that the english version eg. Battle of the Planets is, crap compared to Gatchaman

Id like to see the programme I watched as a kid (Im 38 and in the UK)

but if theres a better version of Battle of the Planets that I could watch

ideally in dubbed english of Gatchaman then can someone point me in the right direction ?

Thx

Battle of the Planets > Gotchaman.

Battle of the Planets > Gotcha man.

What do you have against Anthony Edwards?

I'd like to get these too,
But I'd rather get japanese with subs than crappy dubs...

Gatchaman Collectors Set

As Battle of the Planets (syndication, 1978), the Japanese series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (1972) helped to build an audience for anime in America. For Battle, the original 105 episodes were recut to 85, with much of the violence deleted from the fight scenes. New animation featuring the comic robot 7-Zark-7 linked what remained. Turner Broadcasting recut the series into 85 different episodes, restoring much of the violence and eliminating Zark for G-Force (Cartoon Network, 1995). The Gatchaman collections present the series in its original form.

the Alex Ross painted covers are pretty cool too.
