Here are episodes 1-3 of Tsuburaya's 1978 anime/live-action hybrid series, Dinosaur War Izenborg, with improved English subtitles. Special thanks goes out to ItzyWitzy, who re-uploaded ARR's raws & sub files a while back, which inspired me to take this up as a project. I basically re-timed each of ARR's scripts and corrected any translation errors/grammar mistakes (and believe me, there were a few.) These files are hardsub .MP4s, and were encoded that way because of their originally being on my old You Tube channel. I was the one who leaked Izenborg to You Tube, actually, and these episodes were some of my most popular videos. The series follows a sort-of typical formula for Tsuburaya shows: the Dinosaur Empire, a group of dinosaurs who survived their supposed extinction by burrowing deep underground, have come back to retake the Earth, and only D-Squad, led by the cyber-enhanced twins Zen and Ai Tachibana, can stop them. Zen and Ai possess the rare ability to merge into one being, Izenborg, which has a relative power supply of three and a half minutes (like the Ultra heroes). In later episodes, Izenborg grows into a giant hero and fights in a costume, but in these early eps, all it does is change the character design a bit and allow their vehicle to change modes. The anime/live-action hybrid concept comes into play with the human characters being animated, but the dinosaurs being live-action actors in recycled costumes, the D-Squad vehicles being scale models, and the backgrounds/settings being models as well. The animation is pretty primitive, even by late 70's standards, and a lot of stock footage from Tsuba's other series was mixed in to pump up the tension. My You Tube subscribers had a fun time identifying which series the stock footage came from. The series ran for 39 episodes before being cancelled, but it does conclude in a complete story, so it wasn't like the cancellation caught the creative staff off-guard. If you've ever wanted to see what a Japanese version of Thunderbirds might be like, or if you just want to watch this series with subs in actual English, then give this a download, and be sure to seed for a while after you're done!
