Best Gatchaman Series

[mbaker]

Which Gatchaman series do you prefer? I know alot of you are still recovering from the names. I myself like the Catchaman 94 OVA's.

Don't get me started.... This is my sort of topic....


Battle Of The Planets. Definately. Gatchaman had the decent coherent storyline and the more adult themes, but Battle OF The PLanets had some great VA work and the best score a cartoon as ever been gifted with.

Also, it edited out some of the duller pieces of the original. Pity about Zark though.

G-Force was a close interpretation of Gatch, but suffered pitiful 80's music and poor VA work, a worthy successor.


Eagle Riders... Bad music, had the more uninteresting Gatch episodes to work from and VERY poor voice sync. It did however translate over two series which fan dubs aside, has not any airing in the West.

Gatchaman OAV - bought that on video originally, got it on DVD. Wasn't impressed originally but it has grown on. Faithful to the original episodes and well contained. Pity about some of the music and a little more about the groups characters would have been great!!! Some more dialogue would have been cool too! Still not bad!!
