G-Force: Guardians of Space

Warning: Spoilers
"G-Force: Guardians of Space" was the second dub adaptation of the "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" anime from Tatsunoko, being more faithful to the original series than "Battle of the Planets". In that sense, it retained all the plot elements, backstories, violence and deaths that were edited in the previous dub. It also retained most of the original soundtrack of the series.

In my opinion, "G-Force" was one of the coolest cartoons ever made, and it was way ahead of its time, which despite being made in the seventies, predates the aesthetic and themes from many action and superhero cartoons from the eighties and nineties.

This show also had a cool cast of heroes and villains, which were also very cool and interesting, and made this series to work so well.

I consider "Battle of the Planets" to be one of the most underrated animations from the seventies, totally deserving the title of cult classic despite all the "dated" elements that this series could have, at least from a modern perspective. Personally, I still like it a lot, and I consider "Battle of the Planets" to be a part of my childhood, like the original Transformers cartoon, Robotech and Saint Seiya.
