Re: Endings

Hi Bobkat, Gatchaman 105: The team returns to base one short, but we never see Joe's body. We're pretty sure he's dead but just how did he disappear? (I'm thinking JUST from the prespective of the 105 ending, not the explaining what happens at the beginning of Gatchaman II). Who later dismantles Gal...

Re: Endings

If you go by the suggested viewing order and/or the Schedule A order for Battle , its ending is more tragic. Since it's "Invasion of Space Center, Part II," Spectra scores a major win and leaves G-Force hurting. Imagine that being your last new episode. If Sandy Frank had gotten Gatchaman ...

Re: Despite all the edits Battle Of The Planets has a TV-14 ratings on streaming.

Hi Stardust, I have a few thoughts on to why it may be the 14yr old rating. There's a lot of laws going around in regard to transgender, non binary, and such... I suppose anything's possible, but that was never really part of Zoltar. Mala was introduced as a completely separate character to address ...

Re: Despite all the edits Battle Of The Planets has a TV-14 ratings on streaming.

Hi Cure DragonEagle, Wow this confirms something I was suspecting. Despite the major edits and changes to remove violence and other unkid friendly stuff, Battle Of The Planets is still quite the edgy show. It was made in an era that frowned on violence but it managed to get a lot to slide. Curious. ...

Mr. Sadao Miyamoto Has Passed Away

Hi all, It's another very sad bit of news to pass along, but blogs in Japan are reporting that Mr. Sadao Miyamoto, or "Miyasan," as he always asked to be called, died on January 9. Miyasan was born in Osaka on May 16, 1937. He loved drawing and used to copy pictures from comic books from t...

Re: how does transmute work

Yes, you're absolutely right, Bobkat! They did it a couple times, Keyop once in " Museum of Mystery " to find Princess' signal, and then Princess returned the favor in " Keyop Does it All " to pick up Keyop's "Cross-Hatch Signal." Also, I should have added this the othe...

Re: I need help from old BotP fans. How was the era it was created in?

Hi Cure DragonEagle and Katblu, I was very young when Battle of the Planets captured my imagination - about 3 or 4 years old, maybe 5? I have vivid memories of (role) playing the characters with the boys at kindy (pre-school) - they never let me be Jason because I was a girl, so I had to be Princess...
