A charming fantasy adventure series that is pretty much unknown in the English-speaking part of the world. Which is quite shocking, given that it was a fairly big success in Japan and got 3 separate series, 2 sets of OVAs, a compilation movie, a 2020 ONA series, a 2025 spin-off (reboot?), at least 2 games, and a few distinct manga entries.

Temporary guests are the shady birdman and know-it-all Kurama, Himiko’s ninja father and a rival type character called Toramaru. Although he’s clearly…

NO SHIT THAT JAPAN KEEPS THEIR BEST STUFF FOR THEMSELVES !! ):
Lots and Lots of chibi charachters, Sunrise Inc after the huge success of the gundam serie's that at that point aired from 1979-1988 (char's counterattack was the latest one at the time) found somewhat a new populair direction by creating a more kid friendly serie's in addition/rivalised of Toei Animation's Dragonball serie's wich was gaining hto uge popularity rating in japan, Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru , with a huge pointer to Dragons since that is very important in japanese culture.
The whole serie itself is more a friendly mix between RPG, Action adventure, Mecha's wich sunrise was best in doing and deformed charachters with funny traits to give, even for the villians.
The first wataru storyline goes about a legend that saved…
