Alfred Jodokus Kwak

I never heard of it till a moomin thread veered into Alfred J. Kwak. It's surprisingly good, but I doubt it ever had any significant run outside of Europe. The major networks in the USA certainly never ran it, preferring to keep their own shows which they could cash in on with merchandise and shit. I watched most of it with english dubbing, which seemed fairly good.

Netherlands and Finland got a DVD release of the full series. I'm not sure if any other countries did.

There are a few of these kinds of series; European stories that got animated in Japan around the 1980s or so. They get some local interest and nostalgia in Europe, but there's not much of a subbing community around them. People tend to be satisfied enough with the local dub that they saw as kids, instead of working on "original dub + English subs" projects.

Known in the entierty of europe as far as I know. The german version for example is also spoken by the original dutch guy, because dutch really is nothing other then a really thick german accent. Also sin't there a english version of it? Or are you one of those /a/ level sub>dub guys?

If you look on youtube you find a few later episodes with english subtitles but you probably already knew that. Otherwise I found nothing

I could easily find it any dub i'm sure, but yeah, i am one of those fags.
Finding Moomin in finnish with eng subs was entirely doable.

Hitler arc is the best

Loved it as a kid. Dolf is Justice.

Fun fact: even after Dolf was ousted he later comes back, runs in the presidential election and comes in second. People wanted him back in power.

Kind of a heavy subject for a children's cartoon. I really need to watch this

Yes you do. There's also a plot about racial segregation in a place that's totally South Africa where Alfred gets a black girlfriend for himself, and there's analogues for the Soviet Union and the two Koreas too.
Oh, and the first episode is about how his parents meet, fall in love, have a bunch of kids and then it ends with everyone but little Alfred getting run over by a truck. So fun times all around. I think there's an A-bomb in the last episode.

Funfact:

The story of Alfred's parents was real and the author of series did this and got inspired to make a story

>There's also a plot about racial segregation in a place that's totally South Africa
Given the history of the Netherlands, it'd make sense to put that in

One of Alfred's childhood friends explains to him how he thinks it's a great thing.

the hitler story really got stuck :^)

>run over by a truck
Alfred wasn't that lucky, they were ran over by rich drunk assholes who later keep fucking alfred over and over.
>>92230297
Dolf was best character, he even says at some point that if he actually manages to kill alfred and become the main character the ratings would shoot sky high.

Wasn't even a truck.
It was a limo, driven by 2 rich guys that were building a theme park on the land that Alfreds family lived in and were evicted from, thus resulting in them traveling and eventually leading to the fatal crash

Yes, I have seen that episode enough times to remember it that clearly. It also helps that that scene was so heavy.
