Unlike most of the anime that made its way to the states back in the 1960's, I never saw this one as a kid. I first saw it via a terrible quality VHS tape obtained at a convention in the 1990's and finally saw decent prints of it recently since a couple of episodes are included on the Something Weird Video STARMAN discs. Basically the adventures of a benevolent teen alien hero who has come to Earth to pretty much save us from ourselves, this series has a real charm which is sorely lacking in most cartoons produced nowadays. However, I have found that most of the old anime shows that we used to watch back in the days are simply too primitive to hold the interest of most contemporary children. Oh well, it's fun stuff, and now you know where to find a couple of episodes.
