The complete 48-episode run of Eagle Riders (2), the 1979 sequel to the original Battle of the Planets (known as Gatchaman in Japan), has arrived on HIDIVE, complete with English dub and subtitle options.
Produced by Tatsunoko Production, the series picks up after the apparent demise of Leader X, whose surviving fragment mutates into the new threat Z. Teaming up with Count Egobossler, Z aims to destroy Earth and the Science Ninja Team, forcing Dr. Nambu to lead the ISO from the Gallatown underwater base.
Eagle Riders (2) continues the franchise's signature blend of superhero action and sci-fi adventure. The series is known for its episodic structure, with the Science Ninja Team facing off against Z's various mecha-themed threats each episode. Its 1979 premiere places it firmly within the classic era of anime superhero storytelling.
