*LJ refers to this rather ominously as a “third-party problem,” which I believe is code for “Decepticon attack.” Curse you, Frenzy!

I'm sure they could be bootlegged somewheres, but I am too lazy to look up where.

I will have to check into this Mysterious Cities of Gold as my next Thing To Ignore! What is it?

It's streaming on Netflix! And, as far as I can tell, not actually available anywhere else. (Officially, anyway.) It's an anime from the late 1970s or something, dubbed into English--rather poorly, which makes me hope the original dialogue is better. Somehow. It takes place around the time of Cortez or a little after, and chronicles the travels of Esteban, a young boy with Mysterious Powers and an obligatory Significant Amulet, who goes to the New World to try to find his lost father. By episode two he's hanging out with a South American princess of some sort--I'm fuzzy on which nation she's supposed to be from--who has another Significant Amulet, and who defiantly proclaims she will never help the wicked men who kidnapped her find the lost cities of gold.

According to the credits, there will be some sort of condor-shaped steampunk plane at some point, so I am watching at least until then. And an Indian boy who looks to be comic relief, but...I'm hoping he'll be less goofy than the credits suggest? He hasn't appeared in the show in the first three or four episodes I've seen.

Oh, and at the end of each episode they have a little set of video clips in which, with stock photography and re-enactments, they earnestly explain some aspect of anthropology/history/culture from South America in that time period. Circa late 1970s and aimed at grade school kids. It's...interesting.

Catchy theme song, though.
