Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Created by Belgian artist Lucien de Gieter, this was France's answer to anime obsession—complete with Egyptian tourism board energy.

Trivia

The 1998 English dub is so rare that collectors treat VHS tapes like actual papyrus scrolls. Your streaming version? Probably French with subtitles.
