Overview
G-Force: Guardians of Space is the second American animated television adaptation of the Japanese anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, following Sandy Frank Entertainment's initial 1978 effort Battle of the Planets and preceding ADV Films recent 2005 attempt, known as just Gatchaman. With G-Force, Sandy Frank Entertainment collaborated with Turner Broadcasting to create a newer, more faithful translation of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman for a new audience, and such a translation was made possible with the relaxed television standards of the 1980s, a luxury that the more Star Wars-themed Battle of the Planets did not enjoy.

Center
Primary
The film primarily focuses on universal themes of heroism, good versus evil, and the defense of Earth from an external, destructive force, rather than promoting specific political ideologies. While environmental protection and anti-tyranny are present, they are framed within a classic action narrative.
The movie features a cast of visually East Asian characters, which provides diversity from a Western viewpoint, but this reflects its original cultural context rather than intentional DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. The narrative centers on a classic superhero conflict without critiquing traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The show features Princess, a skilled member of G-Force, who regularly engages in and wins physical combat against male Galactor soldiers using her yo-yo and hand-to-hand techniques.
The film 'G-Force: Guardians of Space' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework, resulting in an N/A rating.
G-Force: Guardians of Space, an animated science fiction series from 1986, does not include any discernible transsexual characters or explore related themes. The narrative centers on a team of bird-themed superheroes fighting an intergalactic threat, with no elements pertaining to transgender identity present in its storyline.
The 1987 American adaptation "G-Force: Guardians of Space" maintained the original genders of its main characters from the Japanese source material, "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman." No established character was portrayed as a different gender.
G-Force: Guardians of Space (1987) is an English localization of the Japanese anime Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.
