Gatch Collection 6--most of these reviews are for the OAV...
|
Gatchaman started out in 1972 as a 105 episode serial that tried to address the topics of family, technology, and responsibility. It was very successful in Japan, and spawned two sequel series (Gatch II and Gatch F), each with about 50 more episodes. In the late 70's, hoping to capitalize on the Star Wars craze, Sandy Frank bought the rights to the first series. He cut some of the more violent scenes, added an R2-D2 kind of robot, and redubbed 85 of the episodes to make them appear as if they take place in Space. Frank's target audience was kids, so the show became a collection of individual episodes rather than an overall arc of episodes. Most Americans are probably familiar with Frank's production as Battle of the Planets; here we have the original Japanese source material, which is better in *almost* every respect than BOTP.
-This set contains 2-dvd's of episodes, and one of extras.
The first disc contains episodes 61-66: We get some more info on Ken and the Red Impulse, and get to see an episode that was never translated in Battle of the Planets.
67-72 are on the second disc. Highlights include the first glimse of Berg Katse (why the long hair????), Gatchaman's discovery of Sosai X (the man behind Katse), and a general ramp up in the excitement of the show as it builds to a conclusion.
-I commend ADV on the extras: Each episode disc has one show with a commentary by one (or two) of the voice actors. This would be fascinating if they could get somebody involved with the original show, but it's disappointing that the actors make silly jokes, and barely talk about the show they're supposed to be commenting on. The extras disc is certainly worthwhile though. It's got audition footage, character profiles, actor interviews (again, a little silly at times), production galleries (this one shows a lot of the French stuff produced) and some sketch galleries.
I'm saving 5 stars for eps 93-105, so this one gets four.
The second disc contains episodes 67-72
