Talk:The Mysterious Cities of Gold

Mr. Imada

Does anyone have information or a weblink on the "Mr. Imada" who appears in the educational stint at the end of one of the episodes? The guide to the series states he was a "famous yachtsman" - I'd like to find out more, and haven't been able to come up with anything. To quote the narrator, "Good bye. Until next time." -OberRanks (talk) 05:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

As you requested.

I got his name (今田福成) from here. --Broccoli (talk) 05:20, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Very nice work. I wonder if he is still sailing today. -OberRanks (talk) 17:59, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect image

the image shown on the article is for the sequel and not for the original series, the drawing style and characters are drastically different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.203.129.163 (talk) 01:11, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

no, the infobox image is from the dvd of season 1, so it is correct.--Sxerks (talk) 01:25, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Original run dates - contradiction and maths error

There is a contradiction over the original run dates:

• In the lead: "The series premiered in Japan on NHK on 29 June 1982 and ran weekly for 39 episodes until its conclusion on 7 June 1983"; these dates are repeated in the infobox.
• In the Anime section: "The series originally aired in Japan on NHK (the national public broadcaster) and premiered on May 1, 1982, running weekly for 39 episodes until its conclusion on February 5, 1983."

They can't both be correct. Further 39 weeks from 29 June 1982 is 29 March 1983 not 7 June. 39 weeks from 1 May 1982 is 29 January 1983 (5 February is 40 weeks, which would account for one week for Christmas). The source given in the Anime section (TV.com) isn't working for me at the moment so I can't verify it. Thryduulf (talk) 22:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

The Japanese Wikipedia says it ran from June 29 1982 to June 7 1983. It also has dates for every episode, with no episodes for the 10th and 17 August, 19th October, 2nd November, 28th December, 4th Jan, 1st and 8th Feb, 22nd and 29th April, 3rd May. No sources are present for this, however. Shiroi Hane (talk) 18:26, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

@Thryduulf: The issue was with tv.com I removed it as an unreliable user edited source. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:40, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

French vs original

Could someone who has seen the original Japanese version please elaborate a bit on how it differs from the French version? Besides the music that is. MaxAmsel (talk) 00:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

US Title

When this aired in the US in the early 80's it was called "The Seven Cities of Gold". 57.135.233.22 (talk) 02:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
