The voice actors were unusually well cast, with Frees' Brooklyn-accented Thing standing out, and this helped compensate for the limitations of the animation process of the time. Unfortunately, the erroneous concerns about violence in the mass media ultimately marginalized the series, as it did others from the same time period." Translations In Japan, the series was known as Space Ninja Gohms（Uchu Ninja Gohmuzu）().
