Eagle Riders

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Eagle Riders is one of about six different adaptations of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. It was made by Saban.

Only 13 episodes of 65 were aired in the United States, but the series enjoyed some more success in Europe and Australia, apparently.

This adaptation is unfortunately very hard to find, with one troper having searched even amongst torrents and coming up empty-handed. It is largely overshadowed by Battle of the Planets among the various Gatchaman adaptations.

Tropes used in Eagle Riders include:
  • Divorced Installment: It's actually a mash-up of Gatchaman II and Gatchaman F. Because Saban did not own the rights to Battle of the Planets (or G-Force: Guardians of Space for that matter), they had to pitch their dub as an unrelated series.
  • Underwater Base
