Robotan, the two volume manga from 1966-68, had two anime adaptations. The 103 episode version from 1966 is mostly lost, though the 1986 33 episode version seems to be available dubbed into Hindi online, although it does not have a dvd release.
The series was commissioned by Daiko Advertising, who has since thrown out the masters. A few have appeared on online auctions, but at this time, and only one clip and the theme have surfaced at this time. It did have a separate ending theme which is still novel for the era, and the series seems to be your standard children's fair- a boy and his robot getting into mischief. Obake no Q-taro's popularity is what inspired the creation of Robotan, so this is no surprise.
