Okawari-Boy Starzan S (オカワリボーイ スターザンS, Okawari Bōi Sutāzan Esu), or simply Starzan S, is an anime created by Tatsunoko Production[2] from an idea by veteran studio director Hiroshi Sasagawa.
The series is a "mixture of Star Wars and Tarzan".[3][page needed]
Canceled at only 34 episodes due to low ratings, the series was one of the Tatsunoko studio's more obscure works until the series was released on video in Japan on Blu-ray by TC Entertainment in 2017.[4]
"Okawari" is a Japanese expression used when the user is requesting a second helping of food or drink.
