About The Adventures of the Little Prince

Here is what The Adventures of the Little Prince (星の王子さま プチ・プランス) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure anime (1978). At its core: The Little Prince lives on Asteroid B612, a tiny rock floating in space. He spends his days cleaning out the three small volcanos on the asteroid (which he also uses to cook his breakfast), weeding out the baobob trees that threaten to take over, and caring for his friend the Rose Girl.

Further in, when he gets lonely for company he catches a comet in his butterfly net and flies off to Earth for all sorts of adventures.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Narrator (Masaaki Yajima) and Taishou (Kazue Takahashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 35 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
