Unlike a lot of the other shows I've got, I know practically nothing about Goshogun as I didn't do any research on it befor hand. Got this by chance, although it's name was on my list. On a side not these series seem to have a reputation for going the extra mile on the violence. rex was back again here but without the red eyes and now sporting white markings on his head.Īpparently China was working on a full movie remake of this series last year but apart from some promotional art I was unable to find any info. Unlike the other two, this was all live action. The final of the trilogy was Dinosaur Squadron Koseidon, which involved going back in time to fight dinosaurs. While I've tried not to spoil to much until I see this proper, apparently the twins gain an Ultraman like form but it's not till about 20 episodes in.

The main villain Ururu's suit is the Tyrannosaur suit from The Last Dinosaur with a few modifications. The pair's original ability was to perform a combination/power exchange ability, were Zen would get all the human parts and pilot the ship, Izenborg Man, while Ai would gain all the machine parts and become the ships main computer system. These twins suffered a near fatal accident testing out the tank that was a proto-type for the series main ship, the Izenborg, and get rebuilt as cyborgs. The heroes of the story are D-Force, with the main characters being Ai and Zen. However it to got the cut and paste movie treatment and became 'Attack of the Super Monsters'.īasic premise is that Dinosaurs, lead by Dinosaur King Ururu, have been living underground and now rise to the surface to retake the world. Izenborg was the second and currently the only one with an English sub I could find. A film version was created by cutting up 4 episodes and was released as 'Return of the Dinosaurs' un America. Which all makes for a very unusual viewing from the little I've seen. The first series, Dinosaur Expedition Born Free was a series about people exploring a dinosaur world that involved a combination of 70's tv anime and live action dinosaur puppets, models and backgrounds. Part of a trilogy of series that, that are linked by theme and nothing else, this series is a combination of animation and live action suit work that plays out like a cross between Ultraman, Atragon, Mazinger Z and the Wonder Twins with Dinosaurs!

Found a very odd piece that seems right up my street.
