Kevin Gifford: On Gatchaman

"If you focus on Gatchaman's sillier elements, it's easy to dismiss it as a bunch of infantile fluff.
 
But there's a far more serious side to it, one that was unheard of in 1972 and is still more deeply developed than a great deal of anime released today.
 
The Science Ninja Team is constantly infighting, and the emotions they're forced to deal with are often quite complex."
