Today, I have just gotten a hold of all the episodes of Taiyô no ko Esteban from a friend. He has told me that he has seen this show when he was a child and he is glad that he has taped them. I watched two episodes so far and going to watch the third one. It is a very exciting and interesting show. Usually, I have no interest to watch shows or read books about the sea, the desert, and life in the 1500s but this is an exception. Also, it's anime so it will make this show a little better than the greatness it already is. Children from the 1980s who has watched this series most likely has thought of this show as inspirational to them. Other than Teenage Mutant turtles which was around during that time and other shows that wouldn't encourage children to do good. Also, I thought that the characters were well designed and the plot is well written.
It is quite a shock when I heard from a review that Saban, the company that owned the American rights to it lost the episodes to a fire which will cause Nickelodeon to never air it again. Saban should get a hold of new episodes or get one from friends who have recorded it on VHS and convert them to whatever format they want to have Nickelodeon or another television channel air it again. The children of today need this show! It's just too good. As for others who were lucky enough to already seen it or others who got a hold of it just recently to remember the episodes so clearly, I have a message for you.
Keep the spirit of the Mysterious Cities of Gold in your heart. Please.
