Fall anime "Thunderbirds Are Go" to preview its third episode in August!　Also 3 episodes from the original version from 50 years ago

It was announced that the third episode of "Thunderbirds Are Go," a TV animation/special effects series that will start in the fall, will be broadcasted in advance.

Thunderbirds Are Go" is a new TV series commemorating the 50th anniversary of the classic tokusatsu series "Thunderbirds," which began airing in the UK in 1965 and in Japan the following year in 1966 and had a great impact on Japanese tokusatsu and animation. The new series is a co-production by ITV Studios, Pukeko Pictures, and Weta Workshop. While the previous series was a supermarionation using elaborate puppets, this time the characters and mecha are CG-animated, and some of the backgrounds are shot on miniature sets. In addition to the familiar characters from the previous film, new characters will also appear, making this a film that will be enjoyed by both fans of the previous film and newcomers. Incidentally, in the U.K., the series has been broadcast since April and has become a hot topic of conversation, garnering high viewer ratings. In Japan, it will start in the fall on NHK Sogo.

It was recently announced that the first and second episodes will be broadcast in advance on August 29, and in response to the response, it was decided to broadcast the third episode in advance. In addition, three popular episodes from the original version will also be selected for broadcast, allowing viewers to enjoy the program while touching on older works.
