Akuma Tou no Prince: Mitsume ga Tooru
This was the eighth anime film based on the popular manga The Three-Eyed Boy, created specifically for a 24-hour broadcast special. Unlike previous entries, Toei Animation took over production from Tezuka Productions, with original creator Tezuka Osamu only contributing the story concept and synopsis. The plot, adapted from the manga arc "Easter Island: Sea voyage," follows Sharaku and Wato as they stumble onto a derelict ship and get swept up in a strange voyage across mysterious islands. The filmmakers prioritized pure entertainment value over thematic depth, a shift that ended up putting enough distance between this project and Tezuka's vision that Tezuka Productions stepped away from the series.
