Description
I don't know if many of you are even aware of this old anime. Nickelodeon used to air it way way back in the mid-late 80's (back before there was a Nick at Nite! Nickelodeon would just go off the air at around dinner time.) Haha! I'm so old.Anyway, I've just been nostalgic for this cartoon series lately. Recently, I found out that it was actually done by Studio Pierrot! Imagine that! It was one of the highest quality and most unique cartoons I could remember at the time and I still love the themesong.
I don't know if it's as good as I remember (Thundercats sure wasn't.) But I have good memories all the same.

I loved this show as a kid! I can remember watching it around 1987-1989 on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
I've always liked anime - not that I knew the term back then, but that kind of animation just always appealed, and the storylines and educational aspect that was often subtle with this was great. Especially as I knew I was born in South America but had no memory of it as I left as a baby (oil field brat)

omg... OMG... I know that show! I don't remember a dang bit about it, just that I watched it when I was really young at my babysitter's house because it was on at that time of day... I used to stand on a rock in their backyard and sing an only partially recognizable version of the ending theme song.

I remember for YEARS I would have to try and convince people I was not on drugs in my youth and that this show was REAL. I think I have a few random episodes on tape somewhere (thank god I leared to use a VCR before a telephone) I NEVER forgot that theme song...then my roomie found an MP3.

Ah the nostalgia, I never heard it in english though, only french. I wonder if 'Les Trois Mousquetaires' was ever released on DVD, I think it had a similar art style, but it was so long ago I can't really remember acurately.

Aahh!! This was my favorite TV show when I was 8, and I REMEMBER those pre-Nick at Nite days, and I remember the commercials for it. XD; Also remembered when they moved that show to 3 and 6 am. Ah, you made them look great. Zia in particular looks so cute and sweet. ^^
I think it's still pretty good now considering its age. First ep is at YouTube:

I have no idea this show even existed. In the '80s, the only that a Jamaican could watch foreign shows was if they were rich enough to owe a jumbo sized satellite dish. Even if my mum had had one of those, I'd have been a low-memory-span tot while it aired, so I wouldn't remember crud anyway.
