For the series, Shūichi Seki created the character design and Shigeru Morimoto took over the artistic direction. The producers were Minoru Wada, Takaji Matsudo and Yoshihisa Tachikawa.

It was broadcast on Fuji Television from January 13 to December 22, 1991. The 40 episodes were later edited into an 85-minute long film, the story of which is similar to that of the American film from 1965 .
