Did you know that today is your birthday Bobobo? It’s one of the craziest anime series Toei Animation has ever created and now you can see it in full in Spain.
What is the craziest, most absurd and irreverent Japanese animated series you have ever seen on television? We are convinced that it is Boboboan original work by Yoshio Sawai whose anime surprised everyone and everyone in 2003.
Yes, it seems like a lie, but it’s been 22 years since this series premiered. Toei Animation which was released in Spain on several regional channels with a very funny dubbing into Spanish, in line with the tone of the series. By the power of nasal hair!
But before I continue, what was this cat company series about? We leave the synopsis so you have an idea of what you are getting into if you want to give it a try: In the 31st century, Earth falls under the rule of the evil Emperor Billiard Ball IV, who hates people with hair. That’s why he decides to create an army of Hair Hunters, who are dedicated to shaving people all over the world.
Bobobo, who since he was a child had the special ability to communicate with his own hair, is forced to fight against Bola de Billar IV, and takes on the alias “El liberta-cabelleras”. With the help of increasingly diverse characters, he will defeat the different divisions of the evil emperor’s army, until he creates a world in which people’s hair can be let down…
Have you ever wanted to see it? Well, nothing better than today, November 8th, to start, and Toei Animation reminded us that Bobobo’s birthday is today, neither more nor less than 22 years old. Little joke!
And where can you see the series in Spain? Right now, you have the 76 episodes available at Crunchy Rollthe complete series, albeit with one big drawback that you probably won’t find very funny…
It turns out that the series is only available in Japanese with Spanish subtitles, leaving aside the great dubbing that was achieved in the 2000s. Will they ever get it back? Will any company dare to release the series in physical format in our region?
On the other hand, if you want to enjoy an extra experience with the world of Boboboremember that the series also has a manga format and in our country it was published by Comic Planet. Don’t miss it!
