Time Bokan Series

 

The Original Time Bokan series began in 1975 and spawned six subsequent shows (and two OAVs), all under the Time Bokan Series banner.  The series was "gag" comedy and many of Tatsunoko's other characters turn up from time to time.  The most popular of the seven shows has to be the second series Yattaman.   The villains are more memorable than the heroes and are therefore more popular today.
