Late night! The Genius Bakabon
Shinya! Tensai Bakabon
Tensai Bakabon is making a comeback after 18 years away from anime, bringing Akatsuka Fujio's legendary gag manga to the screen once again. Director Hosokawa Toru is steering things in a new direction with an original story that updates the classic cast for modern times. Bakabon and his family—the ones who made "This is how it should be" a catchphrase—are joined by the usual weirdos like Mr. Policeman, Rerere no Ojisan, and Eel-Dog. This time they're causing chaos in a contemporary setting, and the whole thing's airing late-night. It's been over a decade since Akatsuka Fujio passed away, so this feels like a fresh chapter for the beloved series.
