The first image translates to something about a new co-production with Saudi Arabia though, which is where my confusion stems from and what I wanted context for. The later pictures are clearly old film stills from the original series. Thanks for the full title and factoids though. I always love learning something new about obscure tokusatsu. =)
Edit: I actually found info on it now. Dare we dream of Tsuburaya green-lighting a new Izenborg show in the wake of the new footage theyre shooting? A man can dream...I hope its at least released online after its premiere.

A few early episodes of this were translated and released on vhs (later DVD) as ATTACK OF THE SUPER MONSTERS. Izenborg didn't have a kaiju hero to begin, it was more like Thunderbirds - a lot of crazy vehicles fighting kaiju (similar to Koseidan). It was weird and hilarious; the anime heroes were Gatchaman style, featuring a set of paternal twins - one male, one female - who combine into a (human sized) cyborg superhero. The monsters are rubber suit kaiju who are "super intelligent" and psychic, possessing domestic animals to own the humans and yell intelligent things like "KILL!!!........ DESTROY!!!". It's awesomely stupid!
This reboot could be interesting,

Since I'm an acquaintance of the man behind the project, allow me to explain the backgrounds of what is this:
First of all, Izenborg is one the most popular heroes and anime/Toku show in the Middle East. One fan of the series, "Jarrah Al Fareeh" is known among the community as the fan of the franchise. Not only he got to visit Tsuburaya Studious but he owns some of the original props and cosplays as the characters and he's the one who kickstarted this little project of reviving Izenborg to the crowd in this documentary "The Return of Izenborg" in celebration for the series's 40th anniversary. 30 minutes of it was aired on TV last Friday with the full DVD release to be released soon. You can contact Jarrah on his Instagram page where he goes as Aizen_Fleed https://www.instagram.com/aizen_fleed/ Last edited by SHINOBI03; 12-20-2017 at 10:01 AM.. |

I knew about it when I was looking into Izenborg, I just didn't think it was relevant to bring up
