The first anime series of "Popolocrois Story" was released in 1998, and the story is based immediately after the first PS1 game "Popolocrois Monogatari" and before the ¨Poporogue¨ game. There have been two different series, the first series is about the adventure after the defeat of the Ice Demon: a Girl named "Hyuu" came to Popolocrois, and second series is 15 years after Maira's defeat. The second anime series features brand new character, along with some of the old ones.
The main character for the second series is "Pinon", who is the son of Pietro and Narcia. The second series is perfectly based on the 4th PlayStation 2 game in Japan PoPoLoCrois: Adventure of Beginnings (Japanese title: "Popolocrois Hajimari no Bouken", official English Title: Popolocrois: A New Departure), and the 5th Popolocrois: Law of the Moon Adventure (Japanese title: "Popolocrois Tsuki no Okite no Bouken", official English title: "Popolocrois enchanted lunar tale").
Also in the anime, some colors are different. Pietro's hair is Blonde rather than Brown (but in the game, it says he's blonde), White Knight's cape and helmet feather are red instead of blue. (In the 1st edition game, they were red. They became blue after Popolocrois Monogatari II, the 3rd PlayStation game in Japan. In the PSP edition, the graphics of II is used.) Narcia's eyes are green instead of blue, and there some another minor coloring details in some of the secondary characters (Queen Sania, King Paulo and Guilda).
- Note: the Second Animation was produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha.
