The best anime of my life, however...
20 September 2023
I am a fan of "Scientific Rescue Team TechnoBoyger" since it was first broadcast in Japan. I was really jealous when I discovered it would be broadcast overseas as "Thunderbirds 2086."

TechnoBoyger's broadcast in Japan was a huge disaster. The ratings were not commensurate with the Saturday prime-time broadcast, and sadly, the show was cancelled after 18 episodes.

It may be why the storyline was changed from a continuous episodes to one complete episode. The original plan was for a specific country not belonging to the World Federation, which played a dark role. By the way, there are remnants of this in the early episodes.

As a result of multiple scriptwriters writing episodes that were one episode complete and had no continuity, the overall impression was that there was no cohesion.

Akira Nakahara, who enjoyed mountain climbing and depicted the wonders of nature, and Kazuo Yoshioka, who excelled in depicting accidents brought about by advanced science, were responsible for episodes of the top quality. However, the episode of the Spanloader was an unauthorised appropriation of an idea written by Takeshi Shudou for "Thunderbirds," which was planned before "TechnoBoyger." Including that, the anime has been the subject of many problems before it was broadcast and up to the present day.
