The Mysterious Cities of Gold

Can anybody help me? I watched the begining of an anime show & I can't remember the name. This would have been arround '86, the premise was: There was a Princess (could have been a queen) from earth on an expedition across the galaxy. I believe there was a certain crisis on earth, so her expedition was to get somewhere, retrieve an item to end said crisis. Her space suit was white & pink. Along the way she stoped at different planets to pick up escorts/bodyguards. One was from Neptune, he was the brains, his space suit had foot fins & his space car/craft could dive underwater. He also carried a calculator-like tool to calculate different scenarios, and a trident. The second was a convict exiled to Mars I think, he was a volatile characer so to control him she placed a metal "crown" of sorts that would give him pain if he got out of hand. She wore a similar crown that would fire a beam into his whenever she crossed her arms infront of her in an X, thus delivering pain. The last was a hefty character with brute strength, I forget what his "power" was & his planet. The princess's look was similar to Queen Millenia, except that she wore a white & pink space suit, her space helmet (also white & pink) had a jewel that shot a beam when she crossed her arms in an X.

That's all I can remember, I began watching a couple of episodes, my parents moved out of the country so I lost track of the show. I would have been 8, so I don't remember it in detail.
Any help would be appreciated!

That was a sci-fi adaptation of journey to the west; in america it was called "spaceketeers", and had a very limited release. Apparently though it was very popular in some European countries where it was called Starzinger.
