This is really hard to rate because to my almost 40 year old self, this was almost bad. There are a lot of "problematic" aspects (I so hate that word but it's the closest I can find), the stories are almost boring and the pacing is way off. That said, to my young self, I was in love with Curtis and I guess that, as far as anime go, I miss those kind of wholesome animated shows that required some smarts.
If you are about my age then chances are you have seen Captain Future in the past. Maybe he was one of your childhood heroes. Although originally aimed at teenagers and/or adults the show became very popular with kids. Some things that didn´t bother me as a child: Every story had four parts. In Germany, with one exception, they took the four parts and made it a three parter with a lot of content ending on the cutting room floor. When I watch it now, as an adult, I notice that huge parts of the story are missing, there are gaping holes in the continuity of the plots. I still love the show. After all - how do you abandon a childhood hero?
