■ Story

In 1995, Earth was devastated by an attack by the Zarl Interstellar Empire. In Japan, where the barely surviving humans live, a group of orphans, led by Tatekenjin, are desperately trying to survive. One day, Kenjin finds a secret base in the forest, and this leads him to assemble three great mechas, becoming embroiled in a battle to restore peace from the Zarl Aliens.

■Explanation

A TV anime planned by Toei and produced in cooperation with Sunrise. Based on Alexandre Dumas' novel "The Three Musketeers," it was a children's story about the restoration of the royal family, but the second half of the story took a serious turn. The distinctive design of the lion's face on the chest of the main character, Robo D'Artanias, had a strong influence on the design of subsequent super robots.
