Gatchaman Crowds is an exciting, high concept sci-fi with its finger on the pulse of online technology.

A reboot of famous '70s series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman - better known in the west as Battle Of The Planets - Kenji Nakamura's anarchically optimistic Gatchaman Crowds is more than just an homage to an anime classic; it's an action-packed voyage into the near future with a fascinating take on the superhero genre.
