This was one of the more interesting "English dubbed" anime series that I watched when I was a kid (early 90's in the Philippines), along with Robotech. I was surprised to see that the show was originally produced and aired in the 1970's and yet was exciting enough for my generation. Like most anime, it never flinched when it came to violence and portrayals of human frailty. Sadly the thing that made it so interesting for me was not seen by many American kids who grew up watching its toned down "Americanized Version". This DVD restores the original glory of the series without the dumbing effect of the shortened version (Battle of the Planets). First the heroes in the uncut series protect the Earth and not the Galaxy. Second the names sound better (Galactor instead of Zoltar). Third the silly robot from the Americanized Version does not exist. And lastly it focuses on the humanity of the heroes.

Man I remember watching this when I was 4. My favorite was Aggie she kicked ass man! I hope Rhino release more G-Force Episodes or hopefully a box set. I'm dying to see The Fatal Flowers again because the Battle Of The Planets version sucked, it didn't show no action when Princess was fighting the plants. Also Best Of G-Force focused on Ace. PLEASE RHINO RELEASE MORE G-FORCE!!

I was very disappointed in this DVD because I mistakenly though that it was the "Battle of the Planets" G-Force that I grew up with (with 7-Zark-7, Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, Tiny, & Zoltar). It was not. Mark was called "Ace Goodheart", Jason was called "Dirk Daring", and so on. 7-Zark-7 was not even in it. I threw the DVD away; it was worthless to me. Just know what you're getting into before you purchase it, which I should have done. No one's fault but my own - I believe the information was listed, but I either chose to ignore it or didn't read it at all, can't remember. I believe the DVD contains 7 episodes. Oh yeah, different voices for the characters too, not Casey (Kasey?) Kasem, et al.

Been trying to find this cartoon for some time. Although I would like more episodes, having some is better than none. Quick purchase to rec'd turn around and product was in excellent condition with no problems when viewed. Was very glad to see the episodes selected were some of more important ones regarding the history of the team. Still amazed by the creativity of the vehicles in the show (the good guys, not the animal/insect like machines).

I'm sure i would have loved this DVD if not for the terrible new Dubbing and character names cmon!!! Dirk Daring and Pee Wee what the heck is going on!! please don't market this to Nick at night kids and screw up a classic. If you gotta buy a Gforce DVD try to get the original Ninja Science team or Gatcha man before you buy this watered down crap, if your old enough to remember the voices and character names stay away from this sell out garbage.

This DVD really deserve a 1 star but the anime is so GREAT and CLASSIC. WHY,WHY!!? Why not the spanish audio or the french or portuguese? This is the kind of anime that many people were raised on! I was raised with G-Force when I was a kid and it was so special to me that I want to hear it again in my language (me and many other people).

The DVD of Battle of the Planets contains one bonus G-Force episodes in english, spanish and portuguese on each volume. At least that make me feel happy, but it would be so much better if this DVD contained the multiple languages and for those who want to see the original episodes in english and japanese then they would buy the Battle of the Plantets collection without the multiple languages. THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!

P.S: I hope that people agree with me. It doesn't matter if we are in America, many minorities live here and that is great for the movie market and this dvds are also selling in many hispanic countries. And another thing: I don't like the english voices in G-Force, I would rather hear it in japanese.

ADIOS!
