Trivia:
Most footage comes from an existing Japanese anime show known predominantly as "Gatchaman", but the show content was tweaked for an American audience, including a reduction in violent scenes. To offset the removed content, the character of 7-Zark-7 was added and had a role that tied the altered story together. moreQuotes:

This was the best cartoon I saw as a child. Alas, with no videos or reruns the chances of anyone seeing it now are rare to say the least. It was edited down from the Japanese anime "Gatchaman" for US kids. While it lost a lot of the storyline and violence it was gifted with one the best theme tunes. While the 1990's remake of Gatchaman is available to buy, it is of nowhere near the quality of the original Gatchaman or Battle of the Planets, lacking the character and incidental score that graced the originals. Looks like Battle of the Planets will just have to live in the fond memories of the millions of school kids that it touched.
