Starting Oct. 4, "Infini-T Force" will be airing on the media's website. Since the show aims to introduce the hero anime series to the younger generation of North American fans, while also reliving the childhood days of their parents, all the episodes will be in Japanese. This is to retain the sense of authenticity since the show was made by a production company from Japan. English subtitles will be provided, however, in each episode.

Director of Animation Marketing for VIZ, Media Charlene Ingram, said in a report from Den of Geek, "Infini-T Force introduces Tatsunoko Production's most famous anime superheroes for a new generation of viewers while also exciting fans of the original show."

The four members of the hero team are Gatchaman, Casshan, Tekkaman, and Hurricane Polimar. Forming the bad guy quartet are Damian Gray, Raja Khan, Z, and Bell Lynn.

The plot of the 3DCG anime series centers on the self-realization of the young girl Emi Kaido. A wealthy girl living a luxurious life takes hold of a mysterious object that looked like an oversized pencil, which is actually called the "case." The fate of the world suddenly rests on the hands of Emi. The four heroes burst into action to protect the young girl and save the world from imminent destruction.

VIZ Media released the official video clip of "Infini-T Force" in their YouTube Channel. As expected, fans of all four of the anime series reacted very positively even if the show was rendered in 3D. The show will be directed by Suzuki Kiyotaka ("Sakura Wars 2 OAV," "Psycho Pass 2 TV"), while all the animation is under Digital Frontier.
