U2WaTCHer · 11-22-2005, 12:37 PM

Has anyone seen the origanl G force as shown on cartoon network years ago on DVD? Not that dumb Eagle riders crap that was on Kids WB years ago. I would give to own all those eps I just want to know this. Did they finally catch Glectore? With all that running and stupid backround music I have to know lol I wish the same would have been with the inpector gadget cartoon they never let the good guys see or get the bad guys at the end. Sorry had to throw that one in too.

Yes, most of the G-Force dub of Gatchaman have been released on R1 DVD. But it's a little whacky.

A few G-Force episodes were included on the Battle of the Planets DVD sets along with the original Japanese Gatchaman dub and the first english Battle of the Planets dub. Not sure if they did ALL the G-Force episodes, but they did many of them. Unfortunately, there's only about 1 G-Force episode per DVD and usually 2 Battle of the Planets episodes and 2 Gatchaman episodes.

It's really confusing in case you aren't all hip to the way Gatchaman has been handled. So for those who aren't, here's a handy guide:

THE SHOWS:

Gatchaman: Original Japanese version

Battle of the Planets: Heavily editted but most popular American version. Contains 7-Zark-7 animation added in as filler due to all the content edits.

G-Force: Second US dub and severely less editted version. However, contains AWFUL character names like "Hooty", "Pee Wee", "Agatha June" and "Dirk Daring".

Gatchaman OVA series: Japanese OVAs made in the 90s remaking the original storyline.

THE R1 DVDS:

Gatchaman OVA set: the first R1 DVD release was a set of the 90's Gatchaman OVAs. Might be out of print, as they were released a while ago.

Battle of the Planets: the complete Battle of the Planets series was released on DVD. Each BotP episode, usually 2 per disc, came with their uncut Gatchaman counterpart. A G-Force version of at least one of the episode was also included on the DVD. All the DVDs are currently available in a box set that's still in print, if I'm not mistaken.

Gatchaman Uncut: So far 3 box set volumes have been released containing the complete Uncut Japanese Gatchaman series, in proper order with no episodes missing. The episodes were also given a brand new, accurate English dub. NO BotP or G-Force versions of the episodes are included on the set. The sets can be easily recognized as they feature badass Alex Ross art on the packaging.

And there you have it. Hope that helps.

If you watch Gatchaman, you'll basically get a new dub of G-Force. G-Force was pretty close to the original version of the show.

And Spengs, glad to see another Gatchamaniac around here.
