Strijd der Planeten was a version of the American 'Battle of the Planets'. But Battle of the Planets is also a version... of the Japanese series Gatchaman. These were made in Japan by the Tatsunoko Studios and Japanese people could watch it on TV for the first time in 1972. In 1979 it was turned into Battle of the Planets (1979). Sandy Frank presented this show and sold it around the world.
Gatchaman can be defined as 'anime'. Anime means Japanese animated movie(s). , according to many sources. At this moment Pokémon and Dragonball Z are the probably the best known examples of anime, but Sailor Moon, CardCaptor Sakura, Hamtaro and Super Big are also from Japan. And the beautiful Daft Punk music videos are Japanese too.
If you go surfing the web for more 'Gatch' information, it could be easy to know the original Gatchaman names:
| G-Force Mark Jason Princess Keyop Tiny Chief Anderson Luminous One Zoltar Phoenix |
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman Ken Washio (Eagle Ken) Joe Asakura (Condor Joe) Jun (Swan Jun) Jinpei (Swallow Jinpei) Ryu Nakanishi (Great Horned Owl Ryu) Dr. Nambu Sosai X Berg Katse God Phoenix |
The Tatsunoko Studio also produced Gatchaman II (1978), Gatchaman Fighter (1979). In 1994 Gatchaman OAV was made for the homevideo market. The looks of the team members are changed for the nineties and at the same time they tried to stick to the orginal Gatchaman story.
There are even more versions of Gatchaman; Home of the White Shadow gives a good overview. TRANSMUTE! Gatchaman, BOTP & G-Force is worth a visit as well if you want to know more about Gatchaman versions.
