In looking around YouTube this morning, I came across this opening sequence for a cartoon that I haven't seen in probably 27 years or so.
Man, does that bring back some memories. Battle of the Planets was the Americanized version of one of the original Japanimation TV series, Gatchaman. I used to absolutely love watching that show. It had some really crappy writing and artwork at about 5 frames per second, but the whole "trannnnns-mute!" thing was totally cool. BOTP had some great voice talent, led by Casey Kasem as Mark and Keye Luke as Zoltar. Geez, I watch that and all of a sudden I'm ten years old again...

Anime is forever. Casey Kasem was also the voice of "Shaggy" on SCOOBY DOO. Now, back to the countdown...
I was just checking out "Battle of the Planets" a couple weeks ago myself. Favorite show when I was about 7 years old - used to play it with my brothe all the time. What a hoot to find it on the 'net.
