Mr. G

A charming gag-comedy origin story of earth's mightiest, near-sighted android hero: Arale. The animation still holds up, thanks to bright colors, good comedic timing, and competent shot framing, despite the 4:3 ratio. Would be even better in a widescreen format.

After watching this one can really see the roots of Toriyama's influences and styles.

I did enjoy it and would consider watching the entire show as I am huge fan Toriyama's works.

Gags from a bygone era. I can see not just the beginnings of many, many other shows and manga Akira Toriyama inspired. Tezuka gave Japan, Manga but Akira Toriyama gave anime to the world. Rest in peace.
