Force Five was a syndicated anime cartoon anthology during the early 1980s. It was produced by Jim Terry and his company American Way, and consisted of five imported Japanese giant robot serials (originally produced in the mid-1970s by Toei Animation) in response to the popularity of the Shogun Warriors toy collection (in fact, Mattel was one of the sponsors). It consisted of the following series:
- Gaiking - Dangard Ace (Planetary Robot Dangard Ace) - Starvengers (Getter Robo G) - Grandizer (UFO Robot Grendizer) - Spaceketeers (Starzinger)
In true anthology style, the five shows were broadcast simultaneously with one episode of each serial assigned a specific weekday. Additionally, all of the shows were edited into two hour movies and marketed on video tape by Family Home Entertainment. In the UK the video company Krypton Force released several of these cartoons, but under different series title.
