The original dvd release of Battle of the Planets (on Molin Video) was thoroughly disappointing, with only four episodes per disc and scant extras. This release from Playback goes some way to addressing these issues, with an impressive twelve episodes over two discs. The menus are nicely animated and laid-out, but still the lack of extras is a problem. The original episodes of Gatchaman (and G-Force) featured on the American discs (courtesy of Rhino Video) means UK fans are still playing second fiddle to their yankee counterparts. A superb animated show whose qualities go beyond the kitsch of the current nostalgia boom.
