No offense to these guys but most western involved attempts at rebooting classic anime franchises have ended very, very badly (and this is coming from someone who likes western animation). This could be something interesting if it actually ends up using 2D animation but that artstyle looks like it's just asking to be flash animated. Hope I'm wrong

I echo this statement. I also find it a bad sign they're using the title Battle of the Planets instead of Gatchaman. To me that is a sign this is a simple nostalgia cash in. Disappointed this looks to be more Robotech-style milking. I also dislike the use of possible Flash/CG in this, given Canadian animation is generally very cheap looking. I'm reminded of that Speed Racer reboot cartoon Nickelodeon aired years ago. |

That teaser image looks terribly bland making all that crap about "updating the franchise for today's audiences" even more contrived.

At least this actually looks like "Gatchaman," unlike that "Tiger and Bunny" ripoff we got last year. |

Since it's a Battle of the Planets remake, will that stupid robot be in there and Jinpei talk with beeps and boops?

So does this mean Crowds is getting kicked aside?

Anyway, this is good news for long-time fans of the original Gatchaman and/or its 1978 edited-for-American-television version Battle of the Planets) as well as Gatchaman fans who may not dig Gatchaman Crowds and North American audiences still disappointed about Imagi's decision to abandon its plans to do a Gatchaman movie. Plus, this upcoming Canadian show will mean a first exposure to the world of Gatchaman for the Canada-based non-anime fans, although it will have its own continuity. |

No? This is mostly a Canadian production. I doubt it has any bearing whatsoever on Crowds. |

Crowds is WAY better than this reboot junk.

Because you've seen the new reboot oh wait. Anyways Crowds itself wasn't all that great honestly. |

No body wants this. Don't waste your time. Economics 101, come on. Who demanded this? Bad decisions.

Ugh, that teaser image looks awful. No thanks, I'll stick to the old shows and Crowds.

No, It's not. You want to give me Gatchaman? get me exactly what I loved back then, not what it's cool right now. Sailor moon looks the same, Eva look the same, even the DBZ new movies Goku IS Goku, as we remembered him from the TV show. Gatchaman has been my favorite for decades and not the OVA, the live action or the so called "crowds" has been able to fill my hunger for a decent adaptation. perhaps, I should stick with the tv show, only person that has been able to remake Gatchaman successfully has been Alex Ross. |
