Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (1991 TV series)

Summary

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai was adapted into a forty-six episode anime series by Toei Animation and aired on TBS from October 17, 1991, to September 24, 1992. Despite no official Japanese DVD release, the show reran in 2007 on Toei's channel with a new master. The series uses two pieces of theme music, both composed by Koichi Sugiyama and performed by Jiro Dan. "Hurry, Heroes!!" is used for the opening theme, while "My Road, My Journey" , which was the original ending theme for Dragon Quest II, is used for the episodes' ending theme. The series adapts the events of the first 10 volumes of the manga, with initial plans to continue onward until scheduling and time slot changes at TBS lead to the series ending after 46 episodes. To accommodate the abrupt ending, Sanjo helped to provide an adjusted finale to the anime.
