Ridiculously campy, and yet charming. An absolute favorite for someone who caught it on Throwback TV reruns. Underrated, fun-loving, a triumph that doesn't get enough attention.

Prince Planet is the English-language title given to one of the earliest Japanese anime TV series, Planet Boy Papi, when it was transmitted on American television in the United States in the mid-1960s.

While on his mission, Prince Planet adopts the identity of an Earth boy named Bobby and gains comrades who work together alongside him fighting forces of evil, both alien and terrestrial.
