About GATCHAMAN

If you are hunting for a new action series, GATCHAMAN deserves a look (1994). The setup goes like this. The setup: 2066 - Shortly after a small country separates itself from the United Nations, members of the International Science Organization mysteriously disappear without a trace. Renowned scientist Kouzaburou Nanbu realizes that the hidden organization known as the "Gallactor" is making its move to conquer the realm.

As things develop, to counter this terrorist group, he prepares his ultimate weapon: five brave heroes that comprise the Science Ninja Team - Gatchaman.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight.

At 3 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Tatsunoko Production and Artland, which means the visual identity of GATCHAMAN follows that studio's craft.

Voice casting, including Masaya Onosaka as Ken Washio, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 1994, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
