This is an original TV special created entirely by Shotaro Ishinomori, telling the story of three kids who are taken by a flying saucer that sends them back in time to the dinosaur age in order to...learn about empathy? Yeah, just your typical anime plot 🦛
I had discovered this anime for the first time years ago when I was looking through info for the anime's soundtrack release—I couldn't find any JP raws online nor could I find evidence that this was ever released on DVD, so I was under the impression this never got a home media release at all. (EDIT: actually, as of me writing this out, I've just discovered that there was a Betamax release of all things...)
Fast forward to several months ago. I discover a high-quality clip of the anime uploaded onto YT by a Korean user, with the keywords "DVDrip" in the title!! I searched once more for evidence of a DVD release but once again I could not find anything. The Korean user in question was also being a gatekeeping dick and didn't want to tell anyone where the DVD was sourced from.
To make a long story short, I found out from various people that the special was included in a Shotaro Ishinomori anniversary compilation DVD—not once, but twice! And so I purchased the DVD to get it ripped & subbed eventually...and here we are.
I'll be blunt, I didn't like this anime lol. BUT, I do think it's worth at least one watch. Not something you should avoid or anything.
Enjoy!
