This is the opening sequence to "G-Force: Guardians of Space" (1986), the second of three English adaptations to Tatsunoko Productions' "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" (1972), following Sandy Frank Entertainment's initial effort "Battle of the Planets" 1978 and preceding ADV Film's recent uncut, unedited release, known as just "Gatchaman" (2005).

The opening to "G-Force" utilizes some pieces of the original "Gatchaman"'s openings, but also utilizes scenes from the first episode and most notably the two designated "pilot" episodes to this adaptation (Episodes 18 and 85, the latter originally Gatch Episode 87), ending with a slide of the "G-Force" title screen which unfortunately is not animated (most likely due to the tight budget the dub was produced on).

Unlike its "Gatchaman" and "Battle of the Planets" breathren, "G-Force" didn't have title cards at the beginning of its episodes which made following the show and its' individual episodes quite difficult. Foreign-language dubs of G-Force attempted to correct this oversight by having the narrator announce the episode title at the start of each episode.

    We don't even know if the game is coming in the US/Canada, so chill out... The game will go for the arcades of Japans, anyways looks like Capcom is trying to bring back the fighting game genre, which I am very very happy about. Go Capcom, more fighting games! I'm tired of playing Brawl and trip all the time! Hahaha

  • There were several ...

    There were several versions of this show with different titles, so it is possible those were the names from the version you saw, however I think, and I could be wrong here, but I think you are remembering the names of the characters from voltron.(who were practically identical anyway)

    I grew up with BOTP, and I loved it, until I saw the original Gatchaman. BOTP was such an edited and 'castrated' version of Gatchaman. 7Fart7 and all those 'everyone is off the planet' comments. No one died, not even Joe, who dies in Gatchaman... until he returns in Gatchaman II.

  • Gatchaman and BoTP ...

    Gatchaman and BoTP fans won't enjoy this intro because it's not what they grew up with
    everyone tends to prefer what they saw originally

    for me this is pure nostalgia!!!
    G-Force!!

    that's classic! this is where USper Sentai came from. Gatchaman is, anyway. Animated Power Rangers can be good if it's like this.
