Editorial Reviews

It's evil versus evil as teams of bad guys complete to be the meanest villians ever! Watch and laugh as the Dorombo Gang takes on the worst of the worst in a wacky race to be the greatest villains in anime history! The only force that stands in their way are the superheros of anime. Will the Gatchaman ninja arrive in time to save the day?

3.0 out of 5 stars Brings back good memories, but not much else, July 22, 2005

This review is from: Time Bokan (DVD)

Overall:
If you are a fan of the series you will enjoy it. Otherwise stay away.
(well, if you're reading this review you must have some interest anyway.)
I would give it 4 stars considering how glad I was to find this, but the price is a bit too steep for only 2 episodes.

Detail:
This is a straight import of a 1993 Japanese OVA release "Time Bokan Oudoufukko".
The first episode is a car(mecha) race between various incarnations of the 3 bad guys. The 2nd episode's focus is on the trio from Yattaman (read:Doronjo), with various cameos from other animes of Tatsunoko production.

Pros:
You will see your favorite characters from time bokan series.

Cons:
This DVD has only 2 30-minute episodes, and of course these are not original ones.

I wish Time Bokan series received better treatment -- A box set of the original TV series would be nice.
(However, there are hundreds of episodes -- so that's not very likely.)
