Coult, the prince of the kingdom of Loon, is living a happy life with his father King Stephan and many retainers. He is cheerful, bright, tender-hearted, and gifted by the god Aganade. Coult’s mother Galatea (the daughter of Aganade) married King Stephan. However, Medusa, the daughter of the evil spirit, was envious of her happiness and turned her into a statue together with many villagers when Coult was still a baby. In order to save the other villagers, Stephan pledged allegiance to Medusa, and was forced to promise to make Coult do the same on his 8th birthday.
When the day arrives, Coult declares that he will defeat Medusa and revive the people who were turned into statues. He sets out on a long journey to search for the daughter of the evil spirit.

Where it came from
Pygmalio was produced by Nippon Animation and originally aired in Japan in 1990 as a fantasy television series. The show is based on the manga series by Shinji Wada, which drew inspiration from the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. It tells the story of a young prince named Kurt who embarks on a quest to restore his mother, a queen turned to stone by the medusa Gorgon, reflecting the studio's interest in adapting folklore and mythological narratives into long-form animation.
The series was part of Nippon Animation's output during the late Showa and early Heisei eras, a time when the studio was known for blending adventure elements with character-driven quests. The design of the series aimed for the traditional, wholesome aesthetic common to children's anime of the period, featuring a bright color palette and expressive character designs typical of the studio's approach to fantasy. While it developed a modest cult following, it remains a niche entry in the studio's broader catalog of literary and mythological adaptations.
