Did anyone else watch Battle of the Planets? Vaguely anime series with five teenagers who saved the planet and drove cool vehicles?
How 70's does that picture look, eh? I also liked Starblazers, which came on in the afternoons.

Battle of the Planets rocked!! I saw a special somewhere a while back on anime in general and it mentioned that the entire series of Battle of the Planets (and the other variations/names it went under) were heavily edited Japanese anime which in translation bore no resemblance to what the Japanese show was in plot (or in violence level)...
The site you linked the picture from confirmed this. The villains on the Japanese series (Science Team Ninja Gatchaman -- love those Japanese names) were from Earth not from outer space, the characters were renamed and certain elements of American animation added in later to fill out the American story.
