Eagle Riders (also known as Saban's Eagle Riders) is an American animated television adaptation of the Japanese anime series Gatchaman II (科学忍者隊ガッチャマンII, Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman Tsū, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman II) and Gatchaman Fighter (科学忍者隊ガッチャマンF(ファイター), Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman Faitā, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman Fighter), which have been combined (kinda) into 1 story. Commonly mistaken as yet another adaptation of the original Gatchaman (科学忍者隊ガッチャマン, Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman, lit. Science Ninja Squad Gatchaman) after it was imported in to the US first as Battle of the Planets and then as G-Force: Guardians of Space by Sandy Frank, Saban's Eagle Riders was handled by a different company entirely and based on Gatchaman's sequel shows.
