Orphaned prince with animal-transforming guardians must defend his kingdom and uncover his cosmic origins.
A young child, sent away from his dying parents' ship in an escape pod, finds refuge on a distant planet where its inhabitants possess the remarkable ability to transform into animals through magical rings. Adopted by the planet's royal family, he grows up as their prince, embracing this extraordinary world as his home. When forces from beyond threaten his adopted kingdom, his journey will take him across the stars, leading to revelations about his past and connections he never knew existed. (Source: AniDB)
