Wiki.
Galactic Patrol Lensman (GALACTIC PATROL レンズマン, GALACTIC PATROL Renzuman) is a Japanese anime television series based on the Lensman novels by E. E. "Doc" Smith. The 25-episode series aired from October 6, 1984 to August 8, 1985 in Japan.
Harmony Gold USA created an English dubbed compilation of episodes 1-3 and 5-6 in a heavily edited form, which they released under the title Lensman: Power of the Lens. The other episodes were never dubbed into English. This compilation is no longer available on video, although it was available in the UK on a prerecorded PAL-VHS cassette in the late 1980s. A Catalan dubbed version of the series was broadcast in Spain by TV3 in 1994.Despite sharing character and organization names, as well as central themes common to the books, artistic license produced a final product altogether different from the source material. Although it was produced with the knowledge and consent of Smith's estate, the executors were so displeased with the result that for several years they rejected any other suggestions of adaptation.
