| The manga was never lisenced and translated into English, nor was the anime. However it did came to some parts of Europe. Ginga Nagareboshi Gin is a very violent anime, and so over 100 minutes of the original series was cut to make the series suitable for children. Many fights, scenes of blood and gore were cut off. Often when a character died, the scene would just be cut out and the character would just disappear with no trace. Akakabuto's demise in the original was that his head was sliced off by Gin's Zetsu tenrou Battouga. But in the cut version, Takeda "Jii-sama" Gohei just shot at him once and the bear died. So although many scenes were cut, some violence was left in the cut version. In December 2003, the uncut DVD was released in Sweden and Finland. And in October 2006, Denmark got their uncut version. As of yet, there is no word about when the other countries will get the uncut DVD. | The manga was never lisenced and translated into English, nor was the anime.

Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (銀牙 流れ星銀 Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. Translation: Silver Fang Meteor Gin, or Galantic Meteor Gin) (Silver Fang in Scandinavia, Bjørnehunden Silver in Denmark, Hopeanuoli in Finland and Ezüst Nyíl in Hungary) is an anime series created by Yoshihiro Takahashi, it is about the adventures of a Tora-ge(tiger striped) silver Akita Inu named Gin(Silver), and other wild dogs in a mission to kill the demon bear Akakabuto. The manga was first published in July 1984 by Jump Comics.
In April 7, 1986, TV Asahi began to air the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin anime on Japanese TV. The anime's production was by Toei Animation. Japanese TV stopped airing this series in September 22, 1986. With the release of Ginga Densetsu Weed, the series' sequel, Ginga Nagareboshi Gin was re-broadcasted on Japanese TV in December 20, 2005.
The idea for this series was inspired by a newspaper article that Yoshihiro Takahashi once read, which was about dogs running away from their owners and living into the wild. Amazed by the fact of dogs were 'returning to nature', Yoshihiro Takahashi began to create Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. The idea of Gin's character came from his own pet dog.
The manga was never lisenced and translated into English, nor was the anime. However it did came to some parts of Europe. Ginga Nagareboshi Gin is a very violent anime, and so over 100 minutes of the original series was cut to make the series suitable for children. Many fights, scenes of blood and gore were cut off. Often when a character died, the scene would just be cut out and the character would just disappear with no trace. Akakabuto's demise in the original was that his head was sliced off by Gin's Zetsu tenrou Battouga. But in the cut version, Takeda "Jii-sama" Gohei just shot at him once and the bear died. So although many scenes were cut, some violence was left in the cut version. In December 2003, the uncut DVD was released in Sweden and Finland. And in October 2006, Denmark got their uncut version. As of yet, there is no word about when the other countries will get the uncut DVD.
