Description: Gatchaman
In the year 2066, memebers of the International Science Organization disappear after a country seperates itself from the United Nations. Renowned scientist Dr. Nanbu discovers the formation of the deadly terrorist organization known as Galactor and lead by Berg Katse, which uses terrifying alien technology in its quest for domination. However, Nanbu has his own solution to the problem. That solution is the Gatchaman.
This remake/update of the classic anime series once again tells the story of the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, a team of five young superheroes fighting to save the world from the alien organization of Galactor. With slicker designs and beautiful animation, it retells the story in a very short time, but with plenty of style and action to boot.
