I was raised on G-Force and Battle of the Planets. (Never understood 7-Zark-7, and always resented his presence.) I've since followed Yoshitaka Amano's work (and was pleasantly surprised by his collaboration with Neil Gaiman), while my son watches sentai shows like variants of the Power Rangers.
Anywho, if you liked the Casshern movie and you liked Gatchaman, I'd recommend Karas. It doesn't have the soul of the original Gatchaman, but it's the most beautiful sentai-ish movie I've seen, by far. (Beauty without the soul usually puts me to sleep, but the invigorating action in Kara kept me interested.)

I remember the first DVD was released a while ago, but the second was nowhere to be seen. I saw a couple of trailers and previews on a demo disc a while ago and immediately salivated over it, but didn't want to ancticipate too much since the release schedule wasn't finalized.
I've always been a Gatchaman fan, and while I still haven't seen Casshern, I loved the multi-part anime that was released a few years back (in the states, it was "Casshan: Robot Hunter," which was a horrible translation but visually fun) so I might have to pick this up.
And I was only talking about the first Karas movie DVD. ^_^;
They couldn't cut much of Keyop, though. So when he was swearing and the spittle went flying, the American Keyop was stuttering instead.
