Battle of the Planets (1978) is an animated television cartoon originally produced in Japan in 1972 under the name Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman (lit. Scientific Ninja Troop Gatchaman). It consists of 85 of the 105 original Gatchaman episodes.
The series was so heavily edited for US TV broadcasting standards that the plot became virtually unintelligible, though this did not stop the show from becoming a favourite with the juvenile audiences of the time.
In 1986 the show reappeared in the US as G-Force: Guardians of Space with a good deal of the original content that had been edited out of BOTP put back in to the show. It follows the plot of the original Gatchaman much more closely than Battle of the Planets because of this.
Battle of the Planets casts five young people as the team called, G-Force. Their job is to protect the the Earth from planet Spectra and other attacks from 'beyond space'.
