<p>I would like to know more about the anime called <em>Mushiking</em>. It is a 52-episode anime (according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushiking" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikipedia</a>) which I just can't find.</p>

<p>There are 1-2 segments on YouTube in Japanese, but that is the most that I could find.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what happened to this anime? Or where could I watch it?</p>

not finding it on youtube wouldn't be too surprising since technically it is illegal to upload anime to youtube. according to [Anime News Network](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4834) there's no english information so quite possible that your looking for fan subs but they have the link to TV Tokyo's official site so you may get some info there

Could you clarify what exactly you're looking for? Nothing "happened" to it _per se_; it looks like it was just not very popular, seeing as it was basically just a marketing vehicle for a line of games. If you _really_ want to watch it, it looks like you can [buy the DVDs on Amazon Japan](http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0009OAW0A).
