I grew up on this anime, i finished it at least 4 times but i could still rewatch it at any time.
Since the main idea of the series is the fight for justice, it is perfect for small children because it teaches them to stand up against injustice. It also has a little romance-sideline so girls also can enjoy the story.
But i wouldn't only recommend it for children. It's enjoyable for adults too, because of its historical reference and credible storylines.
The episodes are mainly detached from eachother except for ep. 51 and ep. 52. The last two episodes are the dramatic peak of the whole series. (In my opinion these two episodes are the bests, they're almost like an ending of a movie.)
((The best dubs: japanese and german))

The last time I saw this anime, I was barely 6 years old and I was spending the holidays in the village of my grandparents in Extremadura they were throwing it for channel 2 Andalusia a secondary channel of south channel. Seeing him again has taken me to that happy childhood when after seeing the chapter of the day I played with my friends in the false door to the Fox. Seeing him with my friend has made me relive those wonderful days, although I still do not understand why in all the versions we have seen the Zorro is Latin-looking with his brown hair and here is blond, but well still childhood is childhood and that is not changed. My favorite characters undoubtedly El Zorro and Lolita, the most hated ones are undoubtedly Ramón and Gabriel seem to me very despicable more than any other vil…

Henshin sequence... Shot of a blonde guy with blue eyes. He puts on a black jacket and pimp boots. A lightning streak tears through the sky, illuminating the unknown face. It sports a stern, unswerving determination. He is not here to joke around. Belts, gloves, masks, and a hat follow, accompanied by thunderbolts. He flips his cape and swings his foil. He's here!
Who? A cosplaying Shirota Yuu? No, it's the cunning fox of Spanish California: the one and only Zorro!
Does this outstanding way of announcing it suggest a great adaptation? I want to answer both yes and no. Let's elaborate more on the informative bullet points, beforehand. There are some inexact details on this webpage that need to be corrected. KAIKETSU ZORRO is a co-production between three countries: Toho Animation (Japan),…

i dont know how many people will like this anime. But i do like it so much that i cant explain. I personally like it because its one of the best anime of my childhood. The first time i watched it was on hindi channel that was SAHARA Manoranjan. It was a weekly basis episode for which we used to wait so restlessly that we didn't even liked to miss the intro music.
I searched for it again and again on the internet but wasn't able to find it. But luckily just yesterday i found it on www.animeget.com website which is having this very rare series. And i just started it watching it again just to refresh my childhood memories.
As far as the story, plot and characters go,they are really good. The character Zorro is a true picture of a hero that saves the world.
I gave it 10/ 10 rating just becau…

Kaiketsu Zorro is a series that I think most people will either love or hate. If you watched it when you were a child or you like children's series in general, you will probably find it entertaining. If you're expecting a faithful Zorro adaptation or a mature story, you'll most likely be disappointed.
First things first, the creators of this anime have taken some liberties with the characters and premise. The basics are the same - Diego de la Vega returns home to Spanish California because his father is worried about the state of things and the corruption of the army. Diego realises that he can't fight the injustice openly, so he dons a mask and becomes an outlaw in order to stop the army from terrorizing the people. You will find a lot of the iconic Zorro elements in the series, such as…

Many of us who have seen this series,will remember it as one of the first anime enjoyed as a child.
Like other Zorro series,it focus on the Deigo Vega who tries to protect the people of his hometown from the cruel hands of the Military and also at the same time,hiding his identity.
The series also focuses on the other two main characters which are Lolita-Zoro's love interest and Deigo's adopted brother.
To the point,its art cant be compared to today's anime's as it was produced in 90's. But that doesnt means its animation is poor. The animation is 'MASTERPIECE' of its time.
In terms of plot, it has 19 or 20th century backrground with sense of patriotism and other themes with swordplay and a great sense of humour.
The plot gets interesting as strory unfolds and after some times, episodes b…

Not a single review yet on this anime. I'm not surprised. I know how many people will watch this series regardless of a review, so let me inform you that my intention is really just to rake up and reflect on my childhood days as well as to contribute a little to this anime, (not to mention I was immensely bored as well) but don't underestimate this.
The Legend of Zorro. 'Another ripoff' is what you might think. That's not the case (atleast not completely). This is hardly the type of anime you'd come across, even while searching randomly. Nor is it something you would give a second look or thought about. I ran into this series years ago when it was airing on the local TV channel (hindi dubbed) and I can honestly say that my ten year old self waited eagerly everyday for a new episode of 'Zo…
