A notoriously bad anime series created by Knack and broadcasted in 1974. It was made with such poor direction, and on such a ridiculously low budget, that they regularly tried (and failed) to squeeze 20 minutes of plot into the 4 or 5 minutes they could already barely afford to animate for each episode; there were several other obvious production problems as well, such as missing sound effects and a very limited range of background music.
The voice cast for this series is still not publicly known, as no production credits were provided in the actual show.
To this day, several frames of the anime have become popular for artists to redraw:
