Ganbare! Marine Kid

Ganbare! Marine Kid ran for only 13 episodes a year after the first 3 episodes of the previous version, also by TV Doga. This version has not been released on home media in Japan on its own, but if I understand correctly, when Warner Brothers licensed Marine Boy for America and commissioned a 78 episode series, the 13 episodes of Ganbare made up a part of that episode list. I cannot find anyone's list of episodes comparing the Japanese episode list to the American one, since the episodes aired in a different order in America, let alone a list marking which episodes of the 1969 version are actually just this 1966 one again. So. I am going to review this with the 1969 version, but if anyone can ever clear up which episodes of the 1969 anime are actually the first three of Ganbare, I am open to revisiting this entry.

I did watch half of the 'first' 1969 episode- are these kelp ninjas from 66 or 69? Help me Ocean Lad
