@Malc: cool man! I remember cartoons like that. American cartoons that look like Japanese 80's anime.
Speed Racer, that cartoon your picture was made of (forgot the name), and another one with 5 or 6 giant animal robots that transformed into 1 big robot, controlled by some sort of power ranger types

Think it was Voltron...

That was even before Transformers, G.I. Joe and Thundercats.....

And Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Ulysses 31, Bionic Six, Bravestarr, Gobots, Dinoriders, TMNT, D&D cartoon, Visionaries, Inhumanoids, He-Man, She-Ra, MASK, Robotix, happy times! happy times indeed

I think they had the animation done in Japan.

I'd be really suprised if Battle of the Planets was not dubbed Japanime.

Battle of the Planets was English-dubbed anime. Gatchaman CROWDS is the newest incarnation of the series Gatchaman. Its actually a very intelligent show, that basically defies the common tropes and conventions of shonen anime. The main character is basically a tight-fisted adherent to Socratic Methodology that comes off at a ditz unless you pay attention. The show works on many levels, if you're smart enough to reach them.
