There's no clear air dates. If anyone knows the story of this show please help.

No English episodes has appeared on the internet yet, but the begging sequence is on youtube. Most of the series is available in Spanish on youtube, but it has only on DVD release with only some shorts available on it. I have not looked for the other dubs yet but I will update, for now the whole English version is missing.
