| '''''Bit the Cupid''''' is a Japanese anime series produced by Group TAC. Featuring character designs by Susumu Matsushita and CG-animation, the show ran for 48 13-minute episodes on TV Tokyo between April 1995 and March 1996. The show would later be dubbed in various countries in the late 1990's, eventually receiving a English dub.
