About Dinosaur King

Looking for background on Dinosaur King (古代王者 恐竜キング Ｄキッズアドベンチャー)? This adventure series by Sunrise (2007) starts out like this. The setup: Taylor was on a paleontology mission with his son, Max in Africa. Rex, Max's best ally, joins along as well.

Further in, when Max had stumbled across some magic stone slabs with images of dinosaurs, the boys and their friend Zoe were being called out by the dinosaurs for help. It seems that an evil organization called the "Alpha Gang", led by the nefarious Dr. Z, traveled back in time to hunt down the dinosaurs so that they could take over the realm by using those dinosaurs.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Matsuri Mizuguchi as Rex Owen and Megumi Matsumoto as Ryuuta Kodai. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 49 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
