Mike P @RT09890132 03/01/2025 Absolutely loved this show; this Americanization of Gatchaman; that iconic Anime series! And this was MY first taste of Anime back in the day...And it's a great confectionary of Star Wars, The Space Giants and Scooby Doo. Great campy fun from the 70s! See more Read all reviews
