History YMMV / BattleOfThePlanets

* HollywoodToneDeaf: The lead singer of Danger 5 from "The Space Rock Concert" might qualify.

* SoBadItsGood: More lenient opinions on the adaptation (including those nostalgic for it) amount to this. While the voice acting and music are generally lauded, the ham-fisted attempts to explain away death, dated slang, and some other corny scripting choices haven't aged too well but provide some unintentional humor. Especially with the [[ParentalBonus sexual innuendo that scriptwriters would sneak in at points]] (but most of the time with [[FanDisservice Zark and Susan]]).

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: As compromised this adaptation is, most agreed that at least the new audio was excellent; not only keeping the original anime score largely intact, but also added a majestic title theme.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some opinions of the Top Cow series amount to this, as Munier Sharieff employed a darker tone in the BOTP canon in an attempt to make it more like Gatchaman. Jason's personality is one of the most decried points, with Sharieff depicting him as promiscuous, disrespectful to his teammates, and more of a violent loose cannon, with his overall attitude coming off as a CharacterExaggeration of the original Joe Asakura.
** There were also fans that took the presence of "Joe Asakura" as one of Jason's aliases as a TakeThat to the original Gatchaman, or as an unnecessary reference and confusing in its attempt to merge the two series' canons.

* CutAndPasteTranslation: This adaptation also falls under this trope, due to the severe amount of editing it took to transform Gatchaman into it. The producers were only given rough English versions of the scripts, so they just rewrote the plots and dialogue as they saw fit.
** Due to an oversight and the gap in production between translating ''Gatchaman'' episodes 1 and 2 (the latter was translated as the sixteenth for BOTP), the green Turtle King/Terrapin commander basically became two different men, with completely different voice actors.
** The anachronic order of translating the scripts lead to other holes in the plot (such as Mark's father's fate being one notable inconsistency) or oddities, such as there being four eerily similar blonde women affiliated with Spectra (Mala, S-9, Hannah, and "Ms. Ostric") that were stated to be different characters.
** New animation was produced by Gallerie for not only Zark's scenes, but shots where Mark and Princess would visit him, or where the G-Force team would be shown hanging out in their Ready Room. There would also be stock footage of outer space shown, with voice overs describing G-Force's trips to other planets (along with a shot of a planet).
* GatewaySeries
* {{Macekre}}: This series is an early example of edited to hell and back anime in the States.
* NightmareFuel: The space mummy.
* TheScrappy: 7-Zark-7 bashing is popular even among fans of [=BOTP=].
** Andreas Tomak, an original character from the Top Cow series, is not particularly liked either due to being a flat character who only serves to belittle G-Force and butt heads with Anderson. The fact he also took away paneltime from Zoltar was also criticized by fans.

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the original ''Gatchaman'', the God Phoenix was shot down and completely demolished by Galactor mecha on at least two occasions. There was a spare God Phoenix in storage for such a situation. In ''Battle of the Planets'', however, the damaged Phoenix was simply said to have been taken apart and completely rebuilt and like it's mythical counterpart "risen from the ashes". This, in effect establishes the vehicle as a character in and of itself and not just a piece of hardware that could be mass produced, thus avoiding ReedRichardsIsUseless.
