The Time Bokan Series (タイムボカンシリーズ Taimu Bokan Shirīzu) is an anime franchise from Tatsunoko Production. A prominent recognition in Japan, it has made around eight original incarnations, numerous spin-offs (including Yatterman and non-anime appearances) and a modern reboot. The series follows either two heroes – boy and girl – or a sole hero with recurring crewmates fighting machines and robots through time travel from the nefarious antagonist trio consisting of a villainess who frequently gets stripped off during battles and the fat-and-skinny assistants.
