Yes, I loved it but have avoided re-watching it.

Some people think it's better, but it is quite different. To create battle of the planets they took the animation, cut it up & added some new bits and then recorded new scripts.
It's quite different. All the battles in SNTG were on earth, while BOP went to different planets.
The 1986 version "G-Force: Guardians of Space" is more like SNTG, but like BOP not all episodes were used.
The 2005 version by ADV Films English Dub is the closest English version.
