Season 2 Notes
- Phillip Van Dyke has replaced Toran Caudell as Arnold
- Gerald's last name has changed from "Johanson" to "Johanssen"
- Sae Rom Productions Co., Ltd. does the overseas animation
- There's no longer a "Games Animation" credit at the end
- Add "Dan Butler as Mr. Simmons" to the list of people (in the first
season episode guide) who appear to be the physical models for characters
- Five of the episodes were originally made with the first season episodes but,
for whatever reason, not shown until now; these have the "original" actors (including Toran Caudell as
Arnold), include the Games Animation logo, and are animated by Wang Film Productions instead of Sae Rom
