  I watched this when I was a kid because my mum kind of liked it when she was younger. One thing you can say good about it is that it has alright art and sound for when it made and it does follow a progression. Also, that it's consistent in it's plot and themes and quality, and it does do a good job of bringing the manga to screen. However it does happen to be hard to get all the episodes and to figure out what order they were in, however I do not hold that against it. It's a lower popularity anime from the 80's,so many things can be forgiven.nnHowever this anime has aged like milk in comparison to even some other shows of it's time, especially in the art and sound, and story-wise too. I would love this to be a great underappreciated anime, and it is a little, but it's not good in really any way except the fact it might have inspired a lot of the Lion King, although perhaps only on a subconscious level, because they didn't realize it until it was already almost complete. Nice of the maker of this not to sue.nnWatch to see an example of a somewhat child anime from the 80's that was mostly average, perhaps even back then, who knows?
