From April to September 1972: animated television series "Triton of the sea"



I watched the anime when I was young and I just remember, "I want to ride dolphin like him!" feeling.

It never happen to me.  Well it is illegal in US.(I am not sure in Japan....)   However, I swam with dolphin in Japan.  Of course I didn't ride on dolphins but I touch the dolphin fin and swam with them!!!  It was fantastic! 

Anyway,

Story:(From Wikipedia)
5000 years ago, the Triton Family was living peacefully in Atlantis until the Poseidon Family destroyed them all out of jealousy for their successes. The race of mermen was annihilated leaving Triton, the last survivor of his kind. Ruka took the orphaned Triton to Japan in order to protect him from his enemies.
