Sean Price Sunday Cartoon Festival…

super ninja team gatachaman

No one fux with cartoons as much as Sean Price. Maybe DOOM, but then again I don’t think so.

Sean P asked me what was my favorite cartoon of all time. I fuxed with ALL the cartoons. Bugs Bunny is the GOAT character of cartoondom, but my favorite cartoon show of all time was G-Force. Not that more recent manga looking joint, but the Battle Of The Planets version. I use to hustle home hardbody to catch an episode of G-Force.

P!

The next thing I know I got a whole grip of G-Force eps in my mailbox. I knew these joints were dope from back when but I forgot exactly how good they were. G-Force were like superhero environmentalists. The bad asses called Spectra were steady mobbing the Earth and affiliated planets for minerals and the what not. G-Force would block them every time even if they had to ‘transmute*’ into a fiery Phoenix. BTW, the animation in these episodes predate the Dark Phoenix saga in Marvel’s X-Men comics yet you can still clearly see American comicbook culture in the costuming of the characters.

The OG Japanese series is called ‘Science Ninja Team Gatchaman**‘.

**gatchaman gets pre-emptive [ll]

In this ep Spectra sends a robotic centipede to heist the Earth’s oil reserves. If British Petroleum had any cool motherfuxers on staff they might would’a known to blame that shit what happened in the Gulf on Zoltar.

The double bonus for British Petroleum would have been how the name Zoltar sounds like an a-rab.

    Ha I remember that shit…Bugs isn’t the GOAT though – Ren & Stimpy fathered 95% of all the new cartoons out now.

  2. the_dallas says:

    Ren & Stimpy are the truth. Bugs is the king tho’. Bugs never lost. Ren & Stimpy stayed losing.

    Bugs is king. Ren & Stimpy is queens.

    Yo, didn’t DOOM sample frame 9:30 on King Geedorah??? That beat was ridiculous too…

    Tom & Jerry > Bugs Bunny

    Dallas, I have the entire original Gatchaman series, and the storyline makes the US version seem kinda silly and disjointed.’Battle of the Planets’ did whet the appetite as a younger, though.

    The uncut Gatchaman is ridiculous. Made me realize just how much they edited out of the show just to be able to air it in America. I was like “Wait, so EVERYBODY died?”

    One.

  11. Easily my fave as a kid was G-Force, shit had me confused as shit tho’……. the leader of Spectra gets a pa use for being a man….. a woman er… uhhh, mustv’e been inspired by that coca Ziggy Stardust shit. Hardest 80’s toon tho’ was Voltron when they killed Swen. I was like daaaag, they killed one of the Lions fam!?!?!?!

    also I’d be Remiss to not shout out Tranzor Z

  14. Man, I just found a Gatchaman VHS tape in my storage unit. I was digging through shoe boxes trying to find a pair of P Rod 3’s I meant to take off ice, and I saw a VHS tape chillin’ there lol.

  15. Damn…somebody said Transor Z.

    Those dangerous ass toys were the shit. Just don’t hit your cousin in the face with one.

  16. Grands, I know exactly what you mean….I had the Chinatown metallic Voltron and thought it was bootleg, the one with the heavy ass metal sword…..then I saw that in the US the brought out the soft ass plastic “plush toys” version and then realized I really Won.

    That Voltron sword was a shenk

    I remember when my nigga Antoine (who also had the Game of Death jumpsuit) came to school with shruiken (sp) he copped from the Korean karate shop in Flushing. Let’s just say that someone ended up throwing one into someone’s eye to see if they were doing it right. Lol

  18. Battle of the Planets/G-Force was my favorite as a kid and as an adult. Where can I get the OG version of it?

    I really got into Justice League a few years ago. I liked that a lot.

    True story…I wanted my softball team to wear Game of Death jumpsuits. The vote didn’t pass though.
