This is the FIRST anime serie i,ve seen on t.v as a kid with my sister ( back at the time i din't knew anything about anime, too young, ) but i notice'd that it looked diffrent and more well done background sketckes than any other cartoon i've watched then so far ( i was around 3,5 years old) back in '89. On air on t.v it became a very populair cartoon for the kids and the further the story developed, it went to a darkertwist somewhat offensive with some sign's of WW2 and the rasicm apartheid in back then South-Afrika something uNEVER EVER seen in american cartoons. Alfred Jodocus Kwak , full name in dutch, and other chara. had a very long and on/off relationship with eachother ever since class, but for alfred later on ( and his father Henk the mole) it involves as well some otherworldy adventure's , alien entitie's, space adventure and as well very educational theme's about the place were they live resemble to the netherlands.
