Jetter Mars
Jetter Mars is essentially the second animated version of Mighty Atom, though the main characters are obviously not Atom, Uran, Dr. Tenma, or Dr. Ochanomizu, but what seem to be imitations. Rather, Mars, the title character, while similar to Atom, is very different in important ways, as are the three primary supporting characters. Beyond this group, Atom's characters from school are the same; Tamao, Kenichi, and school bully Shibugaki as well as their teacher Higeoyaji are the same as before, though they are depicted as shorter and rounder than earlier versions. The official Tezuka website gives scant details on this series, but does indicate that there were legal issues regarding the Mighty Atom corpus since Tezuka's Mushi Productions went bankrupt.
Several of Atom's adventures are revisited in this series, and plot elements from others are also used. Moreover, plot elements from Tezuka's other series are also featured.
Below is the episode list with the English translated episode title listed in the first column followed by the episode title in Japanese in the second column. The English translations are not official since Jetter Mars was never released in an English-speaking country.
