Stitch! (yes, the
exclamation point is mandatory) is an
anime series from
Mad House and the
Disney Channel. At first it was an
Alternate Continuity to the entire
Lilo & Stitch franchise, notable for lacking Lilo until the third season where it has turned into a
Time Skip series. Four seasons have been produced - the first two by
Mad House, and the third and fourth seasons by
Shin-Ei Doga.
Yuuna is a young girl who lives on Izayoi, a tiny (fictional) island off the coast of Okinawa, with her father and grandmother. Much like Kaua'i in the original film and series, Izayoi is a tropical island full of pineapples, sugar cane, and hibiscus,
all of which are native to both the Hawaiian and Ryukyu Islands. Yuuna practices karate every day with her friends down at a run-down old dojo, and considers herself to be a "protector" of sorts for the local kids. Her mother took off for parts unknown, and she worries for her father's safety. One day, while visiting the "Spirit Stone" in the Spiritual Forest, she sees an explosion in the distance, and reports start coming in of "blue monster" running amok in town.
Meanwhile, Stitch who left Earth shortly after Lilo went to college and has since fallen off the wagon is on the run from several Galactic Federation officials when he and Jumba are sucked into a
Space Storm that desposits them outside Earth. Stitch, confused, hungry, and thirsty, then runs amok looking for food. He attracts the eye of the locals, who are rather fearful of him. But Yuuna goes to confront him, and after they square off in a
pseudo-karate match, they bond and become friends.
While Yuuna is taking Stitch back through the forest, he sees the Spirit Stone. Yuuna explains that the stone holds immense power, and can grant any wish. Stitch wants to be the strongest thing in the galaxy, and so tries to wish on the stone—and gets
zapped. Yuuna then explains that only those who do good deeds will have their wishes granted. Stitch then makes it his mission to do enough good deeds to have his wish, to be the most powerful creature in the galaxy, granted. But all of Stitch's old nemeses are on his heels...
