No freaking way. I LOVED Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman in the US) as a kid. Looks like they actually did a good job, all things considered.

Set in the near future, Gatchaman follows the story five special agents of the International Science Organization in Tokyo as they try to protect the world from the mysterious terrorist group who call themselves Galactor. With technology that far surpasses that of humans, Galactor has declared war on the entire world and has already subjugated half of it. Trained to draw out the power from the mysterious crystal-like object called a stone, the five heroes together form a team to save the world. We’re seeing a very strong Avengers vibe in the visuals. This looks slick. With apologies to the purists, if they don’t overdub this in English and export it to the U.S., they’ll be missing a bet. The film stars Tôri Matsuzaka as Ken aka Gatchaman, Gô Ayano as Condor No Joe, Ayame Gôriki as Jun The Swan, Tatsuomi Hamada as Junpei The Swallow,Ryohei Suzuki as Ryu The Owl, Gorô Kishitani as Dr. Nambu and Eriko Hatsune as Naomi. Gatchaman releases in Japan on August 24. - 30 - Like this: Like Loading...
