Production notes
This TV series ran for 52 episodes.
Based on Yu Watase's original 1992 manga in "Flower" magazine.
Animation was done cheaply, often utilizing static pans.
The series had a considerable fan following in Japan and the United States.
The second season (starting with Episode 27) was marked by the absence of some of the risque humor that appeared in the first.
Two 56-minute TV specials consisted largely of clip shows of highlights of the first 33 episodes.
There were two video series. The first, running for three 30-minute episodes, was a sequel, set a month after the TV version ended. The second, released in 1997, ran for six 45-minute episodes. It may have been an intended third television season sent to video due to falling ratings.
