Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Being marketed to a school-age audience, this animated space opera was bowdlerized by the American editors in order to satisfy the broadcast standards and practices offices of American television stations. However, far fewer edits were made than with another 1970s anime, "Battle of the Planets" (an edited version of "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman"). Even in its edited American form "Star Blazers" retains practically all of its uniquely Japanese characteristics in terms of content, plot, character development, and philosophy.
