This anime was chosen for two reasons: one, there wasn't a lot of anime that came out during this year; two, this was Tomino's directorial debut. Tomino is the guy that brought us Mobile Suit Gundam. Triton, based on the art work looks pretty standard for its time... like they were just discovering color pallets and water colors. The only release available is mostly Chinese bootlegs or streaming, or at least all I could find. I ended up watching this on YouTube in Italian with horrible German subtitles. The audio isn't very good either. I even heard a creature make the old Godzilla roar. The story isn'tall that special and therefore neither is the anime. Triton is an orphan who grows up in a human village because his fish-people clan was murdered by Poseidon. He finds out he isn't human, the village is attacked by a sea monster, and then he leaves to spare the village that outcasts him.
Each episode is much like the first.. Triton mad. Triton fights random fish monster sent by Poseidon. Triton somehow wins by 9 year old genius. Next episode.
Sure we learn a little about Triton's past, and he and his dolphin buddy meet a mermaid who also survived the fish-people genocide. There is even some pretty violent scenes such as narwahls spearing their seal friends to death and rocks falling on giant creature to smash them to a bloody mess.
All in all, this is an anime that isn't even worth a search nor a short screening. I made it 6 episodes before I finally had enough.
