BOTP was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. Unfortunatly pricing and a lack of cohesive packaging turned me off to the idea of purchasing this series. But now everything is coming together at the same time, a great price and a compact size and a good quantity of episodes (14) made this collection very hard to resist. And it includes two episodes that were etched in my mind THE GALAXY GIRLS and THE FIERCE FLOWERS. As an adult the americanization of the series is very annoying, adding an insipid R2D2 knockoff as a narrator and having people say things like "the REMOTE CONTROLLED planes have been destroyed" over and over is just very lame, WE GET IT NO ONE DIES EVER!!! Overall if the next set is inexpensive and has a good amount of episodes i will continue to purchase this series.EP

I'd never purchased anime before when I spotted the Battle of the Planets 25th Anniversary set while out shopping. BATTLE OF THE PLANETS! I had many great times as a kid dreaming about these characters and pretending to be them. This DVD set was a must have and I hadn't seen this show in 25 years so it was quite a flashback. The voice talent on this show was really impressive and it's wonderful to see Zoltan (Keye Luke really is fantastic and his performance makes his role one of the all time great cartoon bad guys) and my childhood heroes the G-Force (all fine performers who are perfect) and 7Zark7 (Alan Young really shines). Watching these DVDs has brought back so many great memories. Thanks Rhino!

I loved this series as a kid and now, as an adult, I love it still. This set contains one of my favorite eps, the Fierce Flowers, which was a 2-parter. Unlike the prior DVD's, however, there are no Gatchaman or G-Force versions. Unfortunately, Rhino lost the rights to Gatchaman so any future DVD's are unlikely to contain them either. But, all in all, a great collection!! Not much in the way of special features but you get a lot of episodes in exchange.

I loved Battle Of the Planets as a kid and can't wait for this DVD set. I've seen the original Japanese version of this show but it's the Battle of the Planets version that fueled my youthful imagination and for which I have a great deal more affection. Battle of the Planets is truly an old childhood friend. 14 episodes for seventeen bucks and some change? Wow! Can't wait!

Although I wish Rhino would release the entire season in a DVD boxed set as Universal did in the UK, its great to see more DVDs from "Battle of the Planets" being released. Back in the mid to late 90s, fans of this show thought the series would continue to die it's slow death, never to see the light of day again. Now look at what's happening! Three Cheers to all the folks who took the true meaning of The Phoenix to heart!

We want the whole Battle of the Planets series for our American viewers..the Fans must be satisfied...please

Battle of the Planets is the best cartoon I grew up with and thank the story line for opening the doors to creativity.

Why are we being left out here in the US while ALL of Europe can buy the entire series "Battle of the Planets" for their region? I want Battle of the Planets... in gear and stop Release the series, please

This 25th Anniversary DVD brings back so many wonderful memories! I'd love to own more. The entire TV series is available in Europe on DVD, but when do we get it in the U.S.? Please give the U.S. fans the complete Battle of the Planets series on DVD.

This DVD set takes me back to the mid 1970's, when I would race to the TV after getting off the school bus to watch it. True, it isn't as good now as it was then, but it still IS Battle of the Planets. Cool music & ahead of its time, for its time. 7Zark7 is annoying, but overall its just as I remembered. Worth what I paid for it.
