Are you tired of the usual Chinese animated cartoons? Isekai? Cute girls (seriously?)?. Look no further.

Here’s “Dalam-iwa Goseumdochi”, also known as “Squirrel and Hedgehog” (or “Brave Soldier” in the international release), an educational animated show from the best Korea aired from 1977 to 2012. Absolutely not a propaganda piece.

Squirrel and Hedgehog documents various animal communities warring and in conflict against one another, each animal being a symbolic representation of real life countries and sometimes political events.

Regarding the series itself, episode 26 is the end of the “first season”, while episodes 27-32 are supposed to be a “second season” which has been on hiatus since 2012 without a conclusion.

As a bit of extra info, the first 26 eps were also released internationally and dubbed (in English and Spanish), however all the propaganda was removed and in general the whole show was edited to be more western friendly (LOCALIZED). Apparently the resulted story didn’t make much sense.

AVC 8bit mp4 hardsubbed

Resolutions vary a little bit, ~500something-p, ~4:3

Lengths mostly between 19 and 25 mins.

Video: Unknown, but there is something that looks like a tv channel logo

Subs: Unknown, but they seem actually good though, even insert songs are subbed. Styling is sometimes wack but they are hardsubbed so you can’t fix them.

I hope the users of the Communist-ran website Nyaa dot si can enjoy this series. All hail to the Leader.
