Triton of the Sea

This is a re-edition of the TV series.

Pilot movie of Umi no Triton. It was produced in October 1971 for the intention of selling the series to international markets and features a more Western-style drawn Triton. The pilot was released to the public on the film version's DVD release nearly 3 decades later.

This series has nothing to do with Moby Dick. In fact, it was the first series by TMS that was not based on any original work. The story: In ancient times, the continents of Atlantis and Mu fought a war, and Atlantis lost. After losing the war, Atlantis transformed itself into a small planet and timeslipped to the present-day to try to take over the world again. But five warriors from Mu assemble on Easter Island, and together with giant cyborg white whale that houses the brain of the ancient queen of Mu, fight Atlantis off at various famous ruins around the world.

The Aquarion, a giant mechanized fighting suit, is humanity’s best weapon against interstellar threats. Human pilots trained and worked together to defeat Shadow Angels, invading Abductors, and kinetic energy monsters over thousands of years. Once again, humanity must turn to the Aquarion. With the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance, will the suit be enough to save mankind?
