Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Legend of the Demon Lands (Makyou Densetsu) Acrobunch is an anime that aired in 1982 on Nippon TV. Led by scientist Tatsuya Randou, the Randou family undertakes a journey around the globe in order to search out ancient ruins to uncover the legend of Quetzalcoatl, which unlocks the key to a fabulous treasure. However, tailing the Randou family is Gopurin, an evil organisation that covets the legendary treasure for itself. The Randou family has the secret weapon of super robot Acrobunch. It becomes a race around the world of who finds the treasure first.An MIC (Kokusai Eigasha) production with animation by Toei Animation note  The series was initially animated in-house by MIC, but Toei eventually took over animation duties later on , the series was an early job for ace female animator and character designer Mutsumi Inomata (whose future credits would include Plawres Sanshiro, Leda: The Fantastic Adventure of Yohko, Brain Powerd, Future GPX Cyber Formula and multiple Tales Series games) and the debut role for seiyuu Shigeru Nakahara as Jun (the youngest of the five Randou children). The show also aired in France in 1985 under the title L'Empire des Cinq.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare to the same production company's Honey Honey, which also features globetrotting adventurers, and the same year's The Mysterious Cities of Gold, which is also centered around a hunt for a mysterious treasure with Latin American roots (in this case, El Dorado).The series also made an appearance in Super Robot Wars Compact 3 and given the Super Robot Wars franchise's track record, this is likely how some mecha fans were introduced to the series.

Dub Name Change
 Makyou Densetsu Acrobunch / int_e2c4b927
comment
Dub Name Change: The French dub changes the name of the family (from Randou to Cossyg), the five children (from Hiro, Ryo, Reika, Miki and Jun to Quentin, Mathieu, Ulrich, Jill, and Antoine), and the Acrobunch robot itself (to Thorn-Rock). It also changes the setting from the Japanese Alps to the Canadian Rockies.
