My friend Xiaoyu said that during a summer vacation when he was a child (4th, 5th and 6th grade, estimated to be between 1997 and 2000, in the urban area of Jiaxing), he once saw a non-original work on TV (forgot whether it was a local station or not). The animated "Dragon Ball" shows the daily life of the turtle fairy with the young Wukong, Xiaolin, etc. (and Oolong?) in the fields of the mountains and fields.
According to Xiaoyu's recollection, this is a complete animated series with at least twenty or thirty episodes. In the original "Dragon Ball" TV animation, there seems to be only one place that fits his description, which is the transitional plot of the three masters and apprentices practicing in the countryside before the world's No. The episode does not have the volume of an extra episode as Xiaoyu said.
Moreover, Xiaoyu's impression of this strange "Dragon Ball" animation is a harmonious scene throughout. There are almost no encounters and fights, even close to the idyllic children's drama plots of "Arale", "Vegetable and Fruit Village", and "Righteous Hero" (while practicing to help small animals and the like, add some funny content at most).
Whether it is the first "Dragon Ball" TV animation translated and broadcast by domestic TV stations, or the theatrical version of the disc version or OVA, "Dragon Ball GT", as long as it is the original animation with the image of the boy Goku, there seems to be nothing like what Xiaoyu said. paragraph content. He still vaguely remembers that the OP of this animation is the same as the OP of the original "Dragon Ball" TV, but the main picture after the end of the title is relatively rough, and he felt a little bit of a cottage back then. Therefore, this animation may also be a domestic (Jiaxing local?) or other country or region imitation of a pirated Dragon Ball drama that sells dog meat. It's just different from many Dragon Ball Fighting fanfiction that emerged later, its adaptation direction is a fresh and loving children's rural life story.
But that can only be guesswork. In that era, could an animation fake really be produced and broadcast so easily? Xiaoyu has not been able to search for the exact information about the animation in this memory, it should be said that there is not even vague information. It is impossible to judge whether there is a problem with his memory.
Just after we talked about it again (September 25, 2018), I stumbled across an urban quirk in the Himalayan "Hundred Stories of Weird Stories" column (published on June 18, 2017), about the summer of 2009 , an online incident on a well-known forum, about the controversy caused by a "forgotten (or non-existent) cartoon" "Captain Green and the Yellow Duck" (tentative name). Whether true or not, I find it interesting. It was almost 2009 when Xiaoyu first showed me those old cartoon nostalgic stickers in the university dormitory, which reminded me of many almost forgotten "Madelaine moments". Now, I found the legend of "Candle Cove" (Candle Cove) which may be the source of this supernatural story, and found that the American TV series "Channel Zero: Candle Cove" (Channel Zero: Candle Cove) based on it appeared in 2016, About the collective paranormal events triggered by a mysterious children's show in the United States in the 1980s. At the same time as filling the pit, I hope Xiaoyu can also find the real body of this different version of the "Dragon Ball" animation, or let this memory be put into a story.
