Aaaah Fujio Akatsuka one of Japans greatest talents from the 60s and onwards creator of such classics as Himistu no Akkochan the first ever magical girl Osomatsukun and the franchise were talking about today: The Genious Bakabon This is the 4th series of the franchise the 2 first series being made in the 70s by TMS and the 2 others by Pierrot in the 90s all of them reruning frequently in Japan the first thing that we can notice about Rerere no Tensai Bakabon is the digital artwork which isnt that bad compared to other series of the same time the animation stays somewhat dynamic without feeling too limited some frames still looks great today https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441614501649842197/452836236579831808/unknown.png However the true question that lies in this review is if this show is funny in the first place is it as timeless as the 1988 run of Osomatsukun for example? My answer is that it is funny but not for everyone: its a really simple comedy and features heavy use of repetition comedy as well as plots found in other kids anime and cartoons of the time like an episode where the policeman Honkan paints himself a fancy suit for his date yet all the situations that he will encounter might reveal his secret or harm himself Lets talk about those characters shall we? We got a small set of characters but a fuckton of oneoffs so this will be quite easy to sum up: You got the typical idiot dad Bakabons Papa which was in his youth a genuis but is now extremely stupid he is our main character and his stupidity usually drives the plot of the episode The rest of Bakabons Papas family Bakabon his equally as dumb son Mama her nagging wife and Hajime the baby who is the smartest character of the entire show Rerere our lord and savior I mean the weird neighbor who asks if people are going out Honkan the Iyami of the show basically UnagiInu a dogeel hybrid who talks fancy Overall the cast is really fun and flows really well with each other https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/images/encyc/A14829.jpg yes i know the ANN watermark sucks In Conclusion its really just an anime to watch whenever you feel like watching something funny and simple yet stylish and competent A solid 82/10 for sure you can watch it in Japanese or Spanish on Youtube Itll be alright
