    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This series is considered a groundbreaker for NOT being based on a manga, but instead making its debut as a manga (comic) and a television series simultaneously. Beforehand, every animated series in Japan had been based on a comic; the manga would have to prove itself before its television adaptations (known as "terebi manga" - television comics) followed. However, the success of this series generated a new term - anime.
