[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Wait... there is a DVD release in Japan??

[marvelousmelmo]

@NotOrdinaryInGames there is, but it's pretty hard to come by these days. I'll be going to Japan in March and I'll be keeping an eye out for rare anime, and it's definitely on my list of anime I intend to search for.

[filipezilla11]

have just one episode? D:

[marvelousmelmo]

@filipezilla11 Unfortunately yes. I found a release of the raws for the series, but it requires a membership to the website 'fileserve' which unfortunately I don't have. besides that I've yet to find a release of the raws. I may buy a DVD of the series when I go to Japan in march if by any miracle I find any, but no promises. If you have a fileserve membership, pm me and I'll send you the links.

This series includes a theme that Tezuka often used in his stories of what I describe as "impossible love" between people who are of different species.

In the course of the story, Bokko falls in love with Shinichi who only sees Bokko as a friend and her love is never recognized or returned. Only when Shinichi looses Bokko does he realize what has been lost.

Tezuka's Bagi is another example.

As a child, this taught me to accept love no matter where it comes from even other species.

I don't see it mentioned in the comments, so I'm assuming no one here knows that the English dubs of this series are lost, presumably destroyed. And the master prints of the original Japanese version were damaged in a fire.

I too watched this in the 60's when it was new, and I've been very sad the last few years to think I would never see it again. Thanks muchly for posting this.
