Why it matters
The run gives a mid-1990s Jump adaptation, one that has circulated mostly through memory and home video, a scheduled weekly home on the studio's own channel.
The series ran from April 6, 1994 to March 23, 1995, all 50 episodes, based on Hiroshi Gamou's Weekly Shonen Jump manga. Osamu Nabeshima directed, Yoshio Urasawa handled series composition, and enka singer Aki Yashiro performed the opening and ending themes.
The 50 episodes ran over about a year, from April 6, 1994 to March 23, 1995, and the channel will release them two at a time each Friday at 6 PM. The story follows Yoichi Oteuchi, a middle schooler in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, described as the unluckiest in Japan. After a UFO crushes him, he receives a transformation rakkyo from the original Luckyman, revives, and becomes Luckyman, a hero with the best luck in the universe who beats vicious aliens through piled-up coincidences. Mayumi Tanaka voices him. Aki Yashiro, an enka singer, performed the opening and ending themes.
