When this came out I was hooked 1979 aninated shows were very stale on saturdays then this came out. First thing I noticed was a shinyness to the look and it reminded me of a advanced Johnny Quest and then the story line that I found out from my Dad who saw the serial back in the Phillipines at the movies that, it was pretty true to the classic serial. Then I noticed wow the characters are very well drawn and animated. Later finding out that they were using horoscope to capture a more realistic look. Then at the end a cliff hanger. What? how cool gonna have to watch it episode to episode. So that hooked me. To me the animation even got better later. There is a bit of "that scene again "that's why a 9. Otherwise my choice for one of the best Saturday cartoons ever along w Johnny Quest.
