Details: Amazon.caThe early anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (1972-74) aired in America in two different versions: for Battle of the Planets (syndication, 1978), much of the violence was excised and the R2-D2-esque robot 7-Zark-7 was added; G-Force (Turner Broadcasting, 1986) was darker in tone and closer to the original. All three series focus on the adventures of five teenage warriors in bird suits. In « Secret Crescent, » Jinpei gets into trouble when Galactor attacks a secret undersea base. « Fearful Sea Anemone » tells a similar story involving Keyop, set on « Galaxy 30, » but a comic subplot about 7-Zark-7 preparing for a « robot reunion » takes time needed for the payoff. The print of Gatchaman used for the transfer had faded, making the chase with a sea anemone-fortress difficult to see; the sound is garbled in Battle and G-Force. Unrated; suitable for ages 10 and up. –Charles Solomon
