Saved by Merlin, a wise magician, and brought up by a retired knight. When he was 15 years old, he happens to prove that he is the person to be the king of all Britain, by drawing out the sacred sword, Excalibur, which no other men was succeeded to draw out from the iron stand. But in order to become a real king, he has to beat Lavic who is under the protection of Medessa, an evil witch. Merlin tells Arthur that he has to find out the Holy Shield to bend King Lavic and Medessa. Thus, Arthur goes on a journey to seek the Holy Shield. On the way he runs into four boy knights - Lancelot, Perceval, Tristan and Guerrehet, who hold up the same ideals as he does. They make a pilgrimage from one country to another in search for the Holy Shield, helping some common people who are distressed by bad aristocrats under the influence of Lavic, and subjugating some bandits. Arthur and his knights continue to travel to achieve their end, i.e., the reconstruction of an ideal country, Kingdom of Logres.

Where it came from
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, known in Japan as Entaku no Kishi Monogatari: Moero Āsā, was produced by Toei Animation and aired in 1979. Created as an ambitious adventure series, it represented the studio's attempt to adapt Western Arthurian legend into the long-form episodic anime format that was gaining significant traction in Japanese television at the time.
The character designs for the series were handled by Shingo Araki, a highly influential animator whose distinctively sharp, elegant aesthetic helped define the look of many popular 1970s and 80s anime. The series was designed to appeal to younger audiences by blending traditional heroic tropes with fantasy elements, and while it faced competition from a crowded landscape of children's programming, it remains a notable example of Toei’s effort to bridge European mythology with the technical style of late-Showa era animation.
