Battle Of The Planets is one of my fondest memories as a kid. Casey Kasem's voice is forever imprinted in my mind. And the Phoenix is the Greatest ship design ever!
When I was introduced to BoTP (Gatchaman), it was on Monday thru Friday at 3:30 pm, not on Saturdays; right after Star Blazers (Uchuu Senkan Yamato) at 3:00 pm. Not knowing they were anime at the time, I only saw them a REALISTIC looking cartoons that I preferred over silly cartoons. I literally had to run home from the school bus stop in order not to miss the beginning. And also to head off my sister on getting to the only TV first in our house. She wanted General Hospital...
@craiganthony6532 yes, I have. And it is very good. However, the original from the 1970s will always have my heart. A few years ago, I was even able to find and procure an original cel art from it. The original was also the one that connected a late close friend and I together for decades.
Wow a long time ago as part of my childhood tv shows. They were known as the G Force. Thanks for a beautiful reminder of something I cherished waaaay back then.
"Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" was a Japanese cartoon brought to the U.S., dubbed in English and then called "Battle of the Planets" in the late 70's. It was then bought by another American company and redubed with a new English cast and renamed G-Force in the 90's.
When I was watching it I didn’t know what Anime was and those big eyes offended me for being unrealistic. This offence did not carry over to anything non human looking but it really put me off this show.
He did many characters like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, Robin from the Superfriends, Cliffjumper from Transformers, and with Easter coming up, and if you have the DVD, Peter Cottontail! I usually hear him nowadays on Casey Kasem American Top 40’s on SiriusXm 70’s on 7 with him playing 70’s music, and the combination with the 80’s version on one of the IHeartradio stations with the same name. God rest his soul.
I live in Indianapolis and these cartoons came on before school or after school. Robotech, I remember that cartoon. That came on early in the morning before I went to school.
Good to have this line-up to be represented by Japanese cartoons, Did find Ulysses 31 interesting, Battle of the Planets is a very good classic, Also have interest in Saber Rider, Robotech's pretty good, Dirty Pair, Guyver and Tenkoman are decent enough, Outlaw Star is very good for sci-fi standards.
Battle of the Planets was MY FAVORITE cartoon when was a kid!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I now own the entire series on DVD, as well as the entire series of Cowboy Bebop❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I miss the 70s and 80s😢😢😢😢😢
As soon as i saw princess from Battle of the Planets in the thumbnail i was here. My most fav cartoon of my childhood, as a aussie we did not know who Casey Kasem was but his voice will live in my memories forever. :) G Force as i called it was awesome i used to mimic the transformation motion all the time as a kid Transmute hahahaha. :)
Out in SoCal, specifically the LA broadcast area, Robotech showed on weekday afternoons. It just showed up one day and everybody was hooked on it. Never saw anything like it before!
I disliked Minmay. Thought she was annoyingly narcissistic. But following standard tropes it was fairly obvious that Rick/Hilary would end up with Lisa/Musa given their initial antagonistic relationship. Minmay on the other hand was selfish. After achieving her dream of stardom on the SDF-1 she effectively dumped Rick. And then when her career flagged she decided she could hitch her star to the reputation of the now famous war hero Rick Hunter. For the same similar reasons I preferred the Alto Satomi/Cheryl Nome pairing in Macross Frontier and Hayate with Mirage in Macross Delta
I watched Battle of the Planets as a child in the 70's and had some affinity to the show, and still for the amazing soundtrack, but none of the episodes ever really made sense to me. It felt like something was missing from every story. I found out a few years ago that it was actually created using footage from the 1971 Japanese "Gatchaman" anime series. I've had the ability to watch both the original Gatchaman English dubbed episodes side by side with the heavily edited "Battle of the Planets" episode, and it's clear that so much was cut and replace with "7-Zark-7" scenes that virtually none of the stories made any sense at all. Ironically Battle of the Planets aired right after Ultraman, which I would run home from the bus stop every weekday to watch as the opening credits would be just rolling as I came in the door, wasn't cut, yet both Ultraman and Gatchaman were very similar in nature, including maturity of themes. I completely understand why though, one episode of Gatchaman features "Gatchaman" slapping a young girl because she refuses to press the button to fire a bird missile and kill the Galactor soldiers that killed her father, then he grabs her hand and forces her to press it. It the same scene for the Battle of the Planets episode, he tells her to press the button, and when she refuses he says "Revenge is never a good thing", then proceeds to blow it up anyway (??) Just 2 totally different shows, with Gatchaman being a straight-up serious adult drama/adventure series, in my opinion. I recommend any fan of Battle of the Planets watch the original Gatchaman series uncut, there's an amazing 1990's English dubbing that was produced, complete with 1971 slang which gives it an even better period-feel.
Recently bought Outlaw Star on dvd. I don't recall it ever being on British TV when I was a kid but saw some clips on RUclips and decided to go for it. Excellent show, episodic but with a developing story arc, and idea that really started on live TV in XFiles and Babylon 5 so really interesting to see it in an anime.
I don’t know how you got these but I’m grateful. This is when cartoons was really cartoons. If I had a time machine I would definitely go back. But since I don’t this is the next best thing. Thank you and thumbs up.
Ulysses had 1 of the best start themes as well, another beloved cartoon. :) 1 of the few i got to see from start to finish as they usually got taken off before the series finished or were played out of order. :)
Reminds me of the ol' 'Saturday Morning Anime' line-up from Sci-fi Channel, with stuff like Dominion Tank Police, that was peak Sci-fi Channel for sure.
I never noticed as a kid that scenes with 7sark7 look to be filler added when translated to NA, the animation is quite different than the rest of the show. The music in Battle of Planets brings back good memories!
I must have watched these years after they were made, and only now when the intro came I remembered being totally obsessed with watching the weekly summer reruns. Also there was a remake of Dumas “The Three Musketeers” but something like the “dog musketeers” where all the characters were portrayed, according to personality, status also I guess, as different dog breeds. I literally lived in waiting of these would come on TV, everything and I mean everything took second place, plus it was the summer. Wow this has really rough warm to my heart and memories of loved ones no longer with me.
Based on what they did to get Robotech and Battle of the Planets into the U.S. (i.e. censorship, re-writes, etc.), Dirty Pair seems out of place in this mix. Edit: okay, seeing The Guyver as well, this is less Saturday Morning Cartoons and more the evolution of the cartoon experience of kids of the 80s. I love it! I recognize all the beats, we had to rent most anime from Blockbuster in the 90s.
The intro monologue to Ulysses starts and I put down the lego and start towards the TV to make the boredom stop… But THEN! The theme song starts and rocks SO hard that I end up on top of the BACK of the couch and nearly in to the shadow-couch dimension that Dad says takes all his spare change! Ulysses, ULYSEE-EES! (Air guitar solo, head banging)
Can anyone give me the name of an episode in which the Phoenix turns into the"Firey Phoenix " that we see in the introduction? I would love to know how that happens. I love this show!!
Gforce was closer to the original but it never had the real conclusion with the main villain berg katse aka zoltar meeting his fate. Also he was both male and female. Which was never brought up in any of the licensed versions before adv got ahold of it. Eagle riders was inconclusive licensed version of Gatchaman 2 and fighter which was also edited. That got cancelled after 11 episodes I think.
BAttle of the planets was the best American version of gatchaman as far as I'm concerned ....the characters,the voices, the storyline and music 🎶 were more flesh out.😊
never heard of Ulysses 31, it looks super rad, i love the odyssey, and its adaptations, and to think that someone made a sci-fi version of it is awesome
@@OrbitalBacon you can practically tell a person's age by the name they call it 😆 I grew up watching Battle of the Planets. When I was old enough I found Gatchaman, I knew something was missing. Never heard of "eagle riders"🤣
@@johnnyfountainSof course the source material is always best. I'm not that much older than you, I was born in '73. I wish they hadn't made that live action Gatchaman movie though. Cool avatar,my favorite game and character.Haohmaru is a boss
Saban's Eagle Riders was a 1996 mashing together of the Gatchaman sequel series, Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter (from 1978 and 79). In that version, the character names were Hunter Harris, Joe Thaxx (voiced by Bryan Cranston -yes, THAT Bryan Cranston), Kelly Jenar, Mickey Dugan, and Ollie Keeawani (yes, Ryu the Owl became Hawaiian in this version). In the states, it only lasted for 13 episodes, though 65 were made and aired overseas.
Oh I knew Battle of The Planets as G-Force on Cartoon Network and holy cow the dubbing was bad. So whenever there was a scene where there was an attack on a city, they would have about 2-3 voice actors doing the voices of over a dozen people. It was hilarious because they seemed to just use the same recording each time.
Would be cool of you added Gatchaman (uncut), other Tatsunoko shows (Casshan, Polymar, or the og Tekkaman) Mazinger Z, Toei Devilman, Voltes V, Tosho Daimos, Albegas, Saint Seiya, Kinnikuman, G Gundam, Macross Seven, and GaoGaiGar
Does anyone remember another anime cartoon from 80's, that was set in space and featured a team of robot (cybernetic?) crime fighters, and they could combine into a bigger robot? It wasn't Voltron, that had humans inside of mech. This was robot humanoids. I believe it also aired on ABC in the US, but it may have been another network. It only had one season if i recall correctly. But wow, it was an amazingly done show. The artwork was highly detailed, story and scripting was great, not sexualized either (although I think there were 1-2 girl robots on the team). That show really inspired my gundam/mech affection, and was a way more stylized show than Voltron when it came to "things that combine into a larger unit" genre.
@@OrbitalBacon I forgot about Orbots! but no, that's not the one I remember. Orbots was super cheesy 80s style. The one I remember was not like that. I'll have to research more.
Battle Of The Planets is one of my fondest memories as a kid. Casey Kasem's voice is forever imprinted in my mind. And the Phoenix is the Greatest ship design ever!
BATTLE OF THE PLANETS (PLANETS, PLANETS, PLANETS)… 😎
check out the original Gatchaman, you won't recognize battle of the planets. BOTP cut out all the killing and strong language used in Gatchaman
And it eventually was in Syndication on Cartoon Network's Toonami as G Force, there was another Series called Eagle Riders
I absolutely loved Battle of the Planets, one of the best early animes...
Hoyt Curtin’s timeless symphony for Battle of the Planets is a masterpiece.
Battle of Planets will always get a thumps up , brings me great memories
Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman), must’ve been my first foray into anime without knowing what anime was
I think it was for me too, seeing late night on one of the Turner stations.
Same for me.
I have fairly recently picked up the Blu Ray box set of Gatchaman. Wow, it’s quite different and quite a lot better.
When I was introduced to BoTP (Gatchaman), it was on Monday thru Friday at 3:30 pm, not on Saturdays; right after Star Blazers (Uchuu Senkan Yamato) at 3:00 pm. Not knowing they were anime at the time, I only saw them a REALISTIC looking cartoons that I preferred over silly cartoons. I literally had to run home from the school bus stop in order not to miss the beginning. And also to head off my sister on getting to the only TV first in our house. She wanted General Hospital...
@@sureevoltz4120Have you watched the Star Blazers reboot? It's mind blowing! Pretty faithful to the original, for the most part.
@craiganthony6532 yes, I have. And it is very good. However, the original from the 1970s will always have my heart. A few years ago, I was even able to find and procure an original cel art from it. The original was also the one that connected a late close friend and I together for decades.
Wow a long time ago as part of my childhood tv shows. They were known as the G Force. Thanks for a beautiful reminder of something I cherished waaaay back then.
I remember it as G-Force too. Apparently that show had like 4 different names.
@@OrbitalBacon Yeah. Thanks man!
"Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" was a Japanese cartoon brought to the U.S., dubbed in English and then called "Battle of the Planets" in the late 70's. It was then bought by another American company and redubed with a new English cast and renamed G-Force in the 90's.
When I was watching it I didn’t know what Anime was and those big eyes offended me for being unrealistic. This offence did not carry over to anything non human looking but it really put me off this show.
Hearing Casey Kasem in a cartoon is like comfort food.
I thought that was him.
He did many characters like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, Robin from the Superfriends, Cliffjumper from Transformers, and with Easter coming up, and if you have the DVD, Peter Cottontail!
I usually hear him nowadays on Casey Kasem American Top 40’s on SiriusXm 70’s on 7 with him playing 70’s music, and the combination with the 80’s version on one of the IHeartradio stations with the same name. God rest his soul.
I grew up in the 70-80's and this is gr8. Even the comershials bring back memories ❤❤
80s commercials.*
I live in Indianapolis and these cartoons came on before school or after school. Robotech, I remember that cartoon. That came on early in the morning before I went to school.
When the Robotech theme starts playing, goosebumps just like 30 years ago
Oh ya ,me too.
Indeed.
Good to have this line-up to be represented by Japanese cartoons, Did find Ulysses 31 interesting, Battle of the Planets is a very good classic, Also have interest in Saber Rider, Robotech's pretty good, Dirty Pair, Guyver and Tenkoman are decent enough, Outlaw Star is very good for sci-fi standards.
Battle of the Planets was MY FAVORITE cartoon when was a kid!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I now own the entire series on DVD,
as well as the entire series of Cowboy Bebop❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I miss the 70s and 80s😢😢😢😢😢
Where did you get the full Battle of the Planets series from? I need that!
I had the lunch box.....
The late great Casey Kasem
This relationship stuff was deep for my preteen mind at 6 am in the morning since that's how early this show played locally for me, lol.
You're awesome for bringing this to newer generations!
Except they should be the Japanese versions subtitled.
@@johnnyfountainS maybe that can be for future uploads
🥓🙏
Ulysse 31 in English ! Glorious !
Calypso is the penultimate episode of the series.
Wish we got to see more of Calypso in the series.
just search for it and youl find complete playlists of Ulyssies 31 here on youtube (in english)
The good old days ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Battle of the Planets was on weekdays after school for me. Speed Racer was on in the early morning. Like 6 AM before school.
Yeah not all of these were actually Saturday Morning shows, I just like to do my own thing with these lineups.
@@OrbitalBacon Sure thing. I'm enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work.
Speed racer is called Mach GoGoGo in Japan.
@@diegodelsol1309Battle of the planets is Gatchaman in Japan.
@@johnnyfountainS Didn't know that until a couple of years ago when I bought the blue-ray.

Never heard of Ulysses 31 or Dirty Pair, Teknoman or Outlaw Star. Im 60 and was from an earlier set.60's-70's.
It's always fun to find cool stuff you never knew existed.
The Robotech live action movie has been in planning forever .. could be amazing if it’s done right
Out in SoCal, specifically the LA broadcast area, Robotech showed on weekday afternoons. It just showed up one day and everybody was hooked on it. Never saw anything like it before!
It was so cool seeing that stuff for the first time back then. It blew everyone away.
Lisa Hayes is Misa Hayase in Japan. Rick Hunter is Hikaru Hachijo. I like Lynn Minmay. Max Jenius' daughter is Mylene Flare Jenius in Macross 7.
I disliked Minmay. Thought she was annoyingly narcissistic. But following standard tropes it was fairly obvious that Rick/Hilary would end up with Lisa/Musa given their initial antagonistic relationship.
Minmay on the other hand was selfish. After achieving her dream of stardom on the SDF-1 she effectively dumped Rick. And then when her career flagged she decided she could hitch her star to the reputation of the now famous war hero Rick Hunter.
For the same similar reasons I preferred the Alto Satomi/Cheryl Nome pairing in Macross Frontier and Hayate with Mirage in Macross Delta
He was called Rick Yamada in the first Macross dub.
I havent seen G-Force for a 100 years !
thanks!

Battle of the Planets is giving strong TV devilman design.
That Honeycombs commercial is forever on my subconscious 😂😂
Thanks for the memories I used to watch most of these religiously
