As a TV series, this is pretty good. Not Great, but not Really bad either. I Guess the reason I'm so jaded is due to the fact that the first time I saw this, it was 1992, and the convention I was at screened a Pilot episode for this (With incredibly bad dubbing) under the title "Lamu the invader girl". Luckily, the Japanese version is much better, but let's not forget that it was originally intended for Japanese Grade-schoolers, so don't expect too much (maybe with the exception of movie no.4) Anyway, this is an alright series, with typical early 80's production values, and a charming cast of characters that you won't soon forget.
