Ganso Tensai Bakabon

1975–1977 · 1 season

A chaotic, silly cartoon romp full of slapstick nonsense and goofy characters that's easy to dip in and out of.

Overview: If the first Bakabon series wasn't the "original", then what could Ganso Tensai Bakabon hope to achieve? How about wilder and more dangerous stories, stranger and crazier new characters, and a Papa who's more idiotic than ever? With a "koredeiinoda!" to end his bizarre escapades, this take on Fujio Akatsuka's classic series set the standard for all adaptations to come, and put the anarchic energy of the original manga into animation!
How it feels: Absurd, whimsical, light and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, identity, madness, friendship
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
