I also wonder if this will be here in ANN sometime soon?

If someone can answer... Thank you very much...

Probably should've posted this in the Encyclopedia forum. ANN doesn't have every anime/manga ever made listed, and there are many waiting to be added.

I don't know anything about that series. I.E. is it Japanese made or Korean, Chinese, etc.?

You may want to remove the Youtube link, because ANN does not allow linking to episodes like that.

Author of the books upon which the animation is based is Chinese.

Studio, script, director, etc for the animation are Japanese.

Original voice actors for the animation are Chinese (possibly with only a Chinese track, actually).

It sounds like it's in a similar category as Legend of the Condor Hero.

Sorry to resurrect this thread; I didn't notice it until now.

Young Guns was a very popular, if not THE most popular, high school romantic comedy in Taiwan in 1990s. It was so popular (around 100,000 volumes per tankobun in average; volume 7 was over 200,000) to convince fundraisers to hire a Japanese studio Animaruya to animate the comic. However, like many yankii manga/anime, the story was full of delinquents fighting for girls or over other trivial matters, smoking minors, riding heavy motorcycles without a license or a helmet, foul languages, etc., thus it never made its way to TV screen. Should Justin's Buried Treasure ever has a chance to review it, I'd say the Obscure-O-Meter™ would be the highest R8, as it has "Never been on the market. Almost impossible to obtain."

The protagonist was voiced by 石班瑜 (sorry I don't have an official romanization of his name; probably Ban-Yu Shih?) He is famous for being the designated Mandarin Chinese voice-over for Stephen Chow's Hong Kong movies. His voice is virtually recognizable by EVERY Taiwanese (thanks to numerous reruns of Chow's movies on TV), yet not many people know his name.

Negative, it was in the same category of Thundercats.
