That's right, Gatchaman, the classic anime that Choujin Sentai Jetman paid homage to, is coming to the big screen! Also known as G-Force and Battle of the Planets here in the US Gatchaman is making it's Tokusatsu debut! After a series of awesome live action commercials in the early 2000's fans have clamored for a live action take on the series for years. Finally their wishes are coming true and we welcome Gatchaman to it's new home at TokuNation!
Long time tokusatsu fans will also be pleased now that we know the confirmed cast list: -Ken the Eagle played by Tori Matsuzaka (Shinken Red!) -Joe the Condor played by Go Ayano (Spider Orphenoch) -Jun the Swan played by Ayame Goriki -Jinpei the Swallow played by Tatsuomi Hamada (Young Captain Marvelous & Ran of Ultraman Zero) -Ryu the Owl played by Ryohei Suzuki We've got some awesome Toku alums taking part in this project and with the rather big names we have on the production staff this film is gonna be something special!

I vaguely remember this series. Though I can't say that I have any nostalgia for it, so my reaction to this is one of indifference...Good news for those who do though.

Very appropriate that a guy named Tori is playing a bird themed super hero.

Very happy for this!
But Gatcha was always toku. It's just alot of you wouldn't accept them as toku because you're married to the concept |

I never watched Gatchaman, but I always liked their suit designs and I appreciated the important influence Gatchaman has had on modern animation and Tokusatsu. I was very disappointed when the Imagi animated film was canceled. Looking forward to this!
